Introduction to Spiritual Healing

Spiritual Healing and Spirituality go hand in hand for the healing of the complete person. The healing process emphasizes the importance of the interaction of the healer, Infinite Intelligence (God) and the recipient working together to effect a healing. The healer attunes to God as a channel so that healing energy can be transferred to the recipient. Without God, the source of all healing, healing could never take place. However, healing in order to be effective requires that the recipient to take part in his/her healing and do their part to prepare themselves for healing.

There are various healing methods that have been developed over the years. Some healing techniques find their origin thousands of years ago, while others are of recent developments. Some of the types of healing are for example: Reki, color therapy, Mega Force (developed by a man at the International Temple of Spiritual Revelations in Montreal), Auric healing, and the laying on of hands – contact healing. No mater the technique of healing used, all require the same interaction of Infinite Spirit, the healer and the recipient.

One of the most interesting types of healing is absent spiritual healing. Many people are engaged in this type of healing work and they get results. Absent healing is performed on a person not present with the healer(s). This type of healing can be performed by one or many healers tuning into the needy and sending them healing. Another form of healing is healing through prayer. This type of healing can be done as absentee healing or in the presence of the recipient. Even prayer requires the tuning of the healer to God and the recipient.

There are a number of stories told on radio and television about people being healed by prayer. My mother was watching Oral Robert’s son on television when he turned towards the camera and said, “There is a woman who has had migraine headaches all her life, receive your healing.” She was healed and never had another headache after that. Absent healing, works. I use it myself from time to time.

One of the major problems of healers is the fact that they receive their healing certificates and then stop working as a healer. This is a real problem at one of the Churches I attended in Montreal. The church is supposed to provide healing before each Sunday or mid-week service. They have not set up to do healings in months. I even inserted healing into a regular Sunday service that I was officiating at. A number of congregants came forward for healing. In Quebec, there is a law that says that the healer is not allowed to touch a person receiving healing only doctors can touch a person – with their permission. We can only pass or hold our hand over the head and/or move our hands over the body of the recipient. Healing takes place just the same.

In the mid 1960s, a television newsman in Los Angles heard about “Psychic Surgery” being performed in the South Pacific and went there to investigate the phenomena. After spending several weeks investigating the psychic surgeons he returned to Los Angles to give his story. It was said that the main reason that the newsman went to investigate the psychic Surgeons was because he had cancer. It is too bad that so many people go to healers and are not properly prepared to receiving healing. They really don’t believe that it can happen. They have been told that only men like Jesus are capable of healing people.

One of the methods of healing talked about by Harry Edwards is “Healing Intelligence.” This is an interesting concept that really makes sense to me. The human body heals itself of cuts, burses, surgery, from time to time cancer and other major medical problems. The body is a magnificent organism that takes the major rule in its healing. As Harry Edwards has said, “The receptivity creates a situation that enables spirit to motivate bodily intelligence and assist it with spiritual healing energies and forces.” This statement is further proof that healing is most effective when the healer, Infinite Intelligence and the recipient work together to effect a healing.
