SPIRITUAL HEALING

The world's oldest cure. Healing is more widely studied and documented than alternative medicine.

We are all individuals who create our own personal realities. This is why people have different ideas about things, for example, healing.

The problem is that as long as we persist with our own personal point of view we will never be able to understand the true nature of things.

It is not the healer who heals. The healer is a medium, a channel for healing energy. Some people have a sympathetic nature and some have natural energy sources and may be healers without being aware of it. But there are many more who drain on other's energy unknowingly. It is the flow of energy in the body that decides how healthy you are. The healer endeavours to remove blockages and restore the natural energy balance.

Many people can learn healing but not all have a talent for it. It is like playing the piano - lots of people can play the piano but not all are concert pianists.

Healing is not a therapeutic process but a natural process that follows certain rules. A person's faith is not very deep if it is based only on miracles. He possesses neither understanding nor love if he accepts only one religion.

Healing has an immediate effect on very few people. It has no effect on approximately 20%.  It will have full effect on the majority of the other 80% and partial effect for the remaining group.

Healing doesn't depend on faith. No religion can lay claim to healing; it has been practised during the entire history of mankind, in all religions and all cultures.

The time needed to see results of healing varies. True healing can do no harm and even if the patient is not cured, his quality of life will be improved and he will be better equipped to face his situation. Four or five treatments are necessary before one can say that one has tried healing, in some cases even more, while others are cured after one treatment.

The active factor in healing has its own intelligence. The energy seeks to re-establish health and wholesomeness and never endangers the living organism.

There can be several reasons why healing fails. The patient and the healer may be incompatible so that it is impossible to create a channel for the healing power. In such cases, one can try another healer. If all fails, it may be that the condition is unchangeable, or that the patient's karma or fate is so fixed that it can't be altered.

Animals and small children are more receptive to healing. They are neutral and have no reservations. Some people are so materialistic and mechanically programmed that they refuse to accept anything they don't understand. This can cause a mental block. The human brain is like a computer - whatever you program into it remains until you re-program it.

It is generally in crisis situations that we are most receptive to unexpected help.

I quote an English doctor, psychiatrist and healer Dr. Daniel Benor:

"If Healing were a pill, it would have been on the market a long time ago.  There is more documentation on Healing than on any medication on the market. Healing would be a very popular pill since it has no side effects and it can cure and prevent problems that modern medicine can, at it's best, only alleviate.

Many years ago, when Daniel Benor was an ordinary practitioner, some of his patients told him that they also consulted a Healer. This infuriated Benor. He felt that Healers took advantage of sick people economically and he decided to expose them. The result was that he became an advocate of healing. He saw and experienced things that he couldn't explain rationally or logically. But he was convinced that it worked! He wrote many articles about Healing as well as a 4-volume work based on the results of scientific research. (Healing Research, Holistic Energy Medicine and Spirituality)

Dr. Daniel Benor is the leader of a group of doctors and healers who work together in England. Some doctors employ healers in their practices. Healing has been approved in England since the 1950's.

It would be extremely unscientific to brush aside healing as non-existent.

Extensive research on Healing has been carried out in England and especially in the USA. This research was carried out at universities with double blind tests, the strictest criteria for research. The scientific material is quite comprehensive.

Studies include tests on animals (wounds and thyroid gland ailments) as well as experiments with plant growth and barley. The findings here cannot be explained as placebo effect since scientific thinking doesn't allow for mice and plants being cured because they believe.

Biochemists have also studied the effect of healing on the growth of enzymes (substances that play an important role in the body's chemical processes). They discovered that healers accelerated normal growth and healing processes in living organisms by increasing enzyme activity in cells that naturally perform these functions - and always in a direction that was best for the organism's total well-being.

There is a lot that is difficult to accept before we have experienced it.  But imagine that we only accept that which we know. Imagine that we had no explorers who dared travel to unknown places. If we go a few years back in time, we find that there were things a lot people laughed at that we know today are no laughing matter. It is important to be open for things we don't know or understand, it would be strange if we were the last generation, the generation that is aware of and knows everything there is to know.
