Spiritual healing is
when energy is transmitted to the person who needs it. The treatment works on
the body, mind and spirit, which are seen as one unit that must harmonize for
good health. If a separate healer is involved, the healer will place the hand
on the person being treated to channel the energy from the Higher Source. The
spiritual healing can help mental and emotional problems and physicalconditions such as a frozen shoulder.
The word
"spiritual" refers to the divine nature of the energy, which healers
agree comes from one external, invisible intelligent source. The healing energy
from this source is available to all.
Healers see the body
mind and spirit as one interdependent unit and believe all three must work in
harmony to maintain positive health. Any problem - be it a broken leg or
depression needs the power of healing to restore the balance of the whole
person. It is felt that sickness often starts in the mind, or at the deeper
level of the spirit, and it is often here that healing begins.
Spirituality vs. Relogion:-
Spirituality can be
seen as being distinct from religion. Different world religions have proposed
various doctrines and belief systems about the nature of a God and humanity's
relationship with it. Spirituality, on the other hand, refers to the common experience
behind these various points of view. It is an experience involving an awareness
of and relationship with something that transcends your personal self as well
as the human order of things. This "something" has been given various
names ("God" being the most popular in Western Society) and defined
in ways that are too numerous to count. We call it simply as the God. You can
choose to define what that means for yourself in whatever way feels most
appropriate. Your own sense of a God can be as abstract as "cosmic
consciousness" or as down-to-earth as the beauty of the ocean or
mountains. Even if you regard yourself an agnostic or atheist, you may get a
sense of inspiration from taking a walk in the forest or contemplating a
beautiful sunset. Or a small child's smile may give you a special sense of joy.
There is much healing
and benefit to be obtained by cultivating your spiritual life. A personal
spiritual commitment is the most important ingredient. Spiritual awareness and
growth can effect a transformation in your whole being. It can help you to develop
a basic trust and faith that is unshakable. Scientists call this intrinsic
belief.
Many have experienced
major turnarounds in their condition as a result of cultivating their
spirituality. They feel that developing a relationship with their God provided
the moral support, courage, hope, and faith for them to follow through with
their personal recovery program. It provided them with a sense that they are
not alone in the universe, and that there is a source of guidance and support
that is available at times of confusion and discouragement.
