HEALING AND FAITH 

Sub title: 'It's a complementary therapy!'

Spiritualist Healing is NOT done through faith or belief of the person requiring this form of healing. A small child, or even an animal, does not know what faith is, and yet they receive spiritual healing in the same way as everyone else. In Spiritual Healing the only requirement a patient should have is a respect for themselves and an open mind about the healer's capability to be a channel for the healing force.

If faith or a belief is required then this could be termed only as ‘faith healing’ and this would not necessarily have a spiritual context behind it. Spiritual Healing requires no faith or belief whatsoever on the part of the person seeking it; nor is it a requirement that the patient has the same religious belief as that of the healer administering healing.

The act of Spiritual Healing is not specifically related to any one religion; because we all believe that God or a Divine Source can heal, even though it might be administered in different ways. Any and all spiritual healing is relayed through the divine source of life, which people term God, and the healer is merely a channel for this type of energy and, as such, can neither direct nor influence its natural process in any way. He or she is purely a passive channel for that energy. This is very important to understand.

There are, basically, two forms of Spiritual Healing in use in this country.

One: contact healing where the healer places his hands either onto or near to a patient.

Two: Absent healing where the patient is not present in person but healing thoughts are directed to him or her, through the act of prayer, this is what the healing book in each church is for.

The rules of conduct state that “Neither massage nor manipulation may be used during contact healing.‿ And also please note that no patient would be asked to remove any clothing [except for maybe an overcoat or shoes.]

Spiritualist Healing is not offered as an alternative to orthodox medicine but is complementary to it. People who are under medical care should always continue with the treatment their doctor has prescribed.
