Spiritual healing is a practice performed in all cultures, traditions and faiths. While the belief systems surrounding spiritual healing may vary, they all have some connection with the Divine or Spiritual – which brings about restoration and healing – in common.
Done by the channeling of healing energy from its source to the individual needing to be healed by or through a healer – the energy channel or medium – spiritual healing is often performed by the laying on of hands. It should be noted here that this has in fact, very little if anything to do with religion. Although many people will automatically associate this kind of healing with religion because of the term spiritual, it does not have to be connected to any specific faith or belief system at all Reiki.
Spiritual healing is available to any person, regardless of their faith, or belief. Any man, woman, child of any age from birth to old age and even animals can be healed in this way. While being open to the possibilities of spiritual healing and a little trust in the person performing the healing will help, there is nothing the individual to be healed has to do or specifically believe in. They certainly do not have to belong to any particular faith group.
Spiritual and/ or energy healing, which are essentially merely different terms for the same process, affect all aspects of a person’s life – emotional, mental, physical and spiritual – and there are many benefits a person can reap from being spiritually healed. Energy healing lightens emotional and physical loads, relaxes and relieves stress. It also eliminates toxins within the body, provides relief from aches, pains, insomnia and other sleep problems. In addition, it assists in improving blood pressure and circulation, as well as organ functions. In short, it balances the body, mind and spirit.
There are as many different techniques and methods involved in spiritual healing as there are healers. Those with a specific faith may use prayer to channel the energy to the recipient. Others use meditation, chanting, drumming or singing. Others still may use spiritual art or visualization, while some favor angel assisted healing. Reiki, Tai Chi and Yoga are all used as healing techniques, too. In short, the methods may vary, but the results remain the same.
Finding a spiritual healer means finding someone who is known to be genuine and reliable, while also being someone the individual seeking healing is comfortable with. Sometimes a healer can be located through recommendation, but it is also possible to locate healers through the Internet. It should be mentioned here that healing is not bound to the healer being present in person. Remote healing is quite possible and frequently practiced successfully.
