What is Spiritual Healing
‘A form of healing by the use of forces and energies from the world
of spirit, channelled through the healer, by the laying on of hands on
or near the body, or prayer or the direction of thought from a
distance’.
2.To render aid, wherever possible, to all who are sick in mind, body or spirit. Irrespective of race, colour, creed or sexual preference.
3.To work as far as possible in connection with the medical profession
4.To assist and train potential healers
5.To encourage and help churches and other bodies affiliated to the union to commence and maintain healing groups.
A Spiritualist healer is a healer who practices Spiritual healing
within the SNU in accordance with the philosophy and teachings of
spiritualism. All spiritualist healers are subject to the rules and
regulations of the SNU (The healing code of conduct and also Healing and
the law) and UK healers Regulatory body. SNU Spiritualist healers are
part of UK healers.
There are many rules and regulations set down that apply to healers be
they approved healers or those working towards approval work as healing
mediums.
The connection for healing is far deeper than that of a medium working
with ‘Clairsentience’ and at no time is communication given by a healer, if a
healing medium is picking up on communication, they aren’t on the right
level.
Healing is pure and simple, the healer themselves do nothing during
healing except provide a channel for the energies to flow through.
Hopefully, the ‘patient’ will have been talked to on arrival at the
church/centre and put at ease and the concept of healing explained to
them, belief and religion are not discussed, merely that the healer will
provide a channel for the energies to pass through.
Initially a healer’s contact with the patient is magnetic, where we use
our own energies to connect, to create a bond with the patient and then
the healer will raise their energy levels through that of mediumship
until they reach the healing level (this is really hard to explain).
Once that level is reached, the healer is a passive vessel for healing
to pass through.
The preferred method of healing that is practised is that there is
just one point of contact, usually hands on shoulders, the rest is left
to spirit. Spirit are an intelligent force and know where it has to go.
Spiritual healing treats the person as a whole, it does not treat the
symptom, but the cause and the principal behind it is that the energy
from spirit connects with the spirit within us all and awakens our inner
spirit to the responsibilities it has to the physical body and by
awakening/re-awakening this the spirit within us re-aligns the inner
energies where dis-ease is present and the body starts to heal itself.
A spiritualist healer never diagnoses or prescribes treatments but
always recommends that a patient visits their own doctor as we have to
tell people that spiritual healing works alongside conventional
medicine, not instead of it. Ultimately, in the eyes of the law, the
doctor/medical practitioner remains responsible for their patient at all
times and as healers, we cannot take responsibility.
Healing can be felt by the patient/recipient in many different ways, it
can be felt as heat or cold flowing, it can also be felt as a vibration,
a tingling, like water rushing through the body, but in all cases it
should be a very pleasant, peaceful and relaxing experience, if it
isn’t, then either the healer doesn’t have the right connection or the
healers energies may clash with your own.
Many times when working we are guided by spirit to place our hands in a
specific area, this may be the head, the neck, a knee etc etc., but at
no stage are the chest or genital areas touched and the stomach is only
touched with the patients hands between those of the healer and the
stomach area. I know I have said that spirit is an intelligent force and
there is no need to move the hands, but sometimes when we are guided to
move to a specific area it is for the psychological benefit of the
patient as some people need to know that we have identified the area/s
that they are having problems with and are not just stood behind them
looking round and letting our minds wander!!!
There are four types/methods of Spiritual healing and these are listed below along with the SNU description of each one:
This is where the person is present but has chosen not to have hands
on healing, or when you sit in the same room as someone and know that
they aren’t well and send out positive thoughts and energy to them.
The SNU describes this as: healing sent by the power of thought to a
person physically present but who is not receiving contact healing or
near to the body healing.
This is when a person is not present when healing thoughts or
energies are being sent to them, whether they are unable to attend or
are unawares that healing has been asked for them.
Many churches and centres have absent healing books where the names of
people are put down who need help, healing, thoughts for whatever
reason, the condition they are suffering from is NEVER mentioned as in
doing so you break patient confidentiality and they may not want people
to know what condition they are suffering from.
Absent healing may not be accepted at the time it is sent, in all
instances of healing, the spirit within has the choice of accepting or
rejecting the healing being sent, the SNU describes this as: Healing sent by the power of thought to a person not physically present.

A Cochrane review of intercessory prayer found conflicting evidence for claims of a positive effect, but there was a conclusion that "evidence presented so far is interesting enough to justify further study." A recent study not included in the review also found inconclusive results for the effect of intercessory prayer on outcome for heart surgery. An analysis of 23 trials for distant healing published in 2000, also found mixed results, with 57% of the trials showing a positive effect on health. This study also recommended further study.
The above is only a vague description of how others look at Healing for more information on Spiritual Healing Look at the SNU Link for useful information and your Local Spiritual Church who will explain in greater detail any Questions you may have.
