What is Spiritual Healing?

A person who is a spiritual healer is one who helps others by healing them or helping them heal themselves. It could be healing of an ailment of the physical body, the mind, soul, and the spirit. Ailments may range from a bad headache to cancerous tumors and ailments of the mind may be from anxiety to paranoia. More often than not, spiritual healing is often confused with ailments of the mind as there are some healers that diagnose some mental ailments as being possessed by evil spirits. The healing activities of the spiritual healer depend on his or her beliefs or religion.

Another term for spiritual healing is “energy healer.” Among the people who practice spiritual healing is a yogic healer, reiki master, a shaman or what is commonly referred to as a medicine man, and many others. The fundamental philosophy of spiritual healing is that the level of an individual’s life force or “chi,” is reflected as the person’s happiness and good health. When the level is high, then the person is in good health and is happy. On the other hand, when it is low, the person may not be feeling so good.

If you are interested to learn spiritual healing, you should be aware that there are various techniques used by healers in order to strengthen an individual’s life force. Those techniques may include prayer, chants, meditation, yoga, crystal therapy, reflexology, and aromatherapy among others. There are some healers that consider their services as secular of not related to any specific religion, their practices are originally based on doctrines and beliefs by religions like Hinduism, Gnosticism, Buddhism, and others related to them.

The laying of hands and prayer are usually associated with Christian healers but there are some followers of Christianity who believe that the Holy Bible denies the very existence of a life force that is neutral as the Bible generally classifies life force as either being good or evil -- holy or unholy. Spiritual healers from Asia accept the concept of reincarnation and generally use meditation as part of their practices.

A spiritual healer can heal people who are:

·   Feeling like they have lost their rest for life or are feeling depressed
·   Overwhelmed by emotions like fear
·   Suffering from extreme stress in their personal and professional life
·   Suffering from ailments or illnesses that keep coming back
·   Unable to find the right path
·   Feeling like they are in unfulfilling relationships

Those are just some of the problems that a spiritual healer usually helps with. Most healers believe that the power to heal already exists within the individual. All a person needs to do is to meditate and get to know one’s true self and learn of his or her main purpose.

Spiritual healing is a natural process and is non-invasive. It is also very compatible with other types of medical treatment. The practice of healing consists of self-discovery and establishing the connection to an individual’s inner light or inner energy. It is basically the process of guiding people as to how they can tap into their unlimited energy the right way so that the balance of the “inner energy” or “life force” balances.
