What is Spiritual Healing?

Spiritual healing is one of the special phases of mediumship and of Divine Metaphysics that uses the understanding and power of the Natural Universal Laws to impart vital and curative forces to pathological conditions.   It is recognized in the New Testament and has been a tenet of both ancient and modern religions.

A human being is made up of three parts: mind, body, and spirit. It is the energy of the mind that controls the condition of these three parts. Constructive mental thoughts create healthy conditions. Destructive mental thoughts disease condition.

It is a fact, stated in the Bible, that the normal condition of an individual is to be perfect and healthy in mind, body and spirit. This is the condition that God has made available for everyone. Therefore, there is always a limitless supply of Divine Healing Energy to help a person achieve perfect health.

Spiritual healers work in many different ways, but whichever methods they use, all contain common attributes. The healers enter into their own silence and meditation to raise their consciousness to the spiritual plane, request spiritual direction and guidance, and tap into the limitless storehouse of God’s supply.

Healers visualize the person receiving healing and request the cooperation of the unseen forces to direct the healing energy to that individual. The healers also visualize the person in perfect health while giving thanks for an influx of peace, harmony and balance.   Although the healers can assist an individual by directing healing energies. The Success of healing depends on the faith and desire of the person to use his or her own mental energy positively. The individual desiring healing need only attune their mind to spirit so that the forces can operate successfully.

To help yourself become more attune to spirit you can say the following prayer for Spiritual Healing:

“I ask the great unseen healing force to remove all obstruction from my mind and body and to restore me to perfect health. I ask this in all sincerity and I will do my part.”

“I as this great unseen healing force to help both present and absent ones who are in need of help and to restore them to perfect health. I put my trust in the love and the power of God.”

“I ask this great unseen healing force to help both present and absent ones who are in need of help and to restore them to perfect health. I put my trust in the love and power of God.”
