Spiritual Healing

There is a tendency for people to think that Spiritual Healing is only done through faith or belief of the person requiring this form of healing. This is not true. A small child, or even an animal, does not know what faith is, and yet they receive healing in the same way as everyone else. If faith or a belief is required, then this could be termed only as Faith healing and this need not necessarily have a Spiritualist context behind it. The only requirement clients should have is a respect for themselves and an open mind about the healer's capability to be a channel for the healing force.

Spiritual Healing requires no faith or belief whatsoever on the part of the person seeking it; nor is it a requirement that the client has the same religious belief as that of the healer administering healing. Spiritual Healing is not specifically related to any one religion, but is a common bond throughout all religions; they all believe that God, or the Divine Source, can heal, even though it may be administered in different ways.


Healing is relayed through the Divine Source of life, which people term as God. 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/she is purely a passive channel for that energy.

There are basically two forms of Spiritual Healing in use in this country. These are contact healing, where the healer places his/her hands on, or near, a person; and absent healing, where the client is not present in person. Neither healing massage, nor manipulation is used during contact healing. No client will be asked to remove any clothing except for an overcoat or shoes.

Spiritual 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.

All Spiritualist Healers work in accordance with a Code of Conduct. To ensure that healing is received from a reputable healer, clients should contact their local Spiritualist Church or Society.
