If you would like to know more about spiritual healing, either as a potential patient or healer, the articles in this section of the website will give you more information.
First of all, here are the answers to some of the questions that may help you to decide whether spiritual healing would be right for you.
What Is spiritual healing?
Spiritual Healing, through the laying on of hands, links the self-healing ability of the body to the healing power of the Universe. The aim is to aid health through balancing and harmonising mind, body and spirit - our three elements of being.
Through the healer, the healing energies are attuned to the needs of the patient and go far beyond the securing of physical improvement, working on the mind, body and spirit.
The healing experience
You will not be asked to remove any clothing, although you may wish to remove your outdoor clothing to facilitate relaxation, and the removal of spectacles can also help in the process of relaxation.
It is very important that you relax as much as possible during a healing session because this allows the healing energies to be absorbed and to give you as much benefit as possible. Equally, keeping an open mind about the potential benefits and a positive attitude about your own health will enable you to relax and allow your body to let the healing energies flow through.
You may feel warmth as the healer's hands are held close to your body or are actually laid on the body. You may also experience coolness, pressure or tingling in parts of your body or you may feel nothing at all; the healing is still taking place. The healing received is always that which is appropriate to your needs, although it may not be what you expect or hope for.
The very least that you will feel is a sense of calm and relaxation if you allow yourself to maintain an open mind and relaxed body. Many people feel this sense of calm after a healing and the body can feel more supple; often there is an easing of pain and perhaps a greater understanding and ability to cope with emotional issues in their lives.
Many people turn to healing as a last resort so that whatever ails them has built up over a period of months or even years. In some cases, the body would find it difficult to cope with a sudden resolution to a deeply rooted health imbalance so healing may be required on a regular basis. Just as the imbalance deteriorated over a period of time so the improvement may take place gradually.
Ill health is often influenced by our thoughts - this can be a positive influence in that we visualise ourselves as fit and healthy and our body responds to this. Equally, however, if we view ourselves as experiencing ongoing health imbalances, the body will respond just as readily to these thoughts. Our thoughts are immensely powerful in bringing to us the level of health that we desire.
Our emotions are extremely important in maintaining our health because they are reflected in the body. If we feel anger, resentment, fear or other negative emotions, these can create health imbalances and obstruct our healing. Releasing these emotions and forgiving ourselves and others for any perceived wrongs makes a difference to the effectiveness of healing. Healing influences our emotions and our physical body so that we can bring ourselves back into harmony.
The healing energies will often help to clarify our thoughts about many issues in our lives and discussing them with your healer will often help to release any thoughts and emotions that are hindering your progress back to full health.
Involving my doctor
Healing is not a substitute or an alternative to orthodox medical treatment but it is complementary to these other forms of treatment, and some doctors recognise the benefits of healing in supplementing their own work with patients.
Nobody can guarantee to cure illness, not even an orthodox medical practitioner. The healers' Code of Conduct will not allow them to give a diagnosis or countermand the advice or treatment prescribed by your doctor.
The healer must always ask you whether you have consulted your doctor about your health imbalance and advise arrange an appointment if you have not already done so. We would recommend that you tell your doctor that you are receiving healing for a specific health imbalance but it is your choice.
Some doctors today have healers working with them and will refer you to them.
Healing in your home
Many healers do visit people in their homes to channel healing, particularly if the patient if housebound or disabled in some way. When contacting a healer, it is best to discuss this with them at that time.
Healing for the terminally ill
Some terminally ill patients experience a great deal of pain and discomfort. Healing can alleviate or reduce this so that the patient can relax more easily.
But the greatest benefit of healing for the terminally ill is that it usually brings about a sense of peace and tranquillity. This can help to diminsh or completely eliminate the fear of death, creating a much better experience for the patient and for their carers.
When healing is being channelled to the patient, it is a good idea to have the carer in the room at the same time as they will also benefit from the healing energies.
Patient records
The UK Healers' Code of Conduct and Professional Indemnity Insurance conditions demand that records of healing sessions are kept.
A brief account of each visit is recorded together with progress reports and these have the same confidentiality as your NHS records. These records will also go to your doctor if they have referred you but otherwise they remain with the healer.
Do I Need To Have A Faith?
Despite its name, spiritual healing is non-religious. It does take place in spiritualist churches but even then the religious aspect of the church is not necessarily a factor.
Many healers do not participate in any religion or religious ceremonies but have a deep and profound faith in something greater than themselves. They trust that this force will flow through them to do the greatest good.
The healing energy will flow through you regardless of whether you have any beliefs or not; it is a manifestation of unconditional love expressed through the healer. The most important factor is that you keep an open mind about healing and, therefore, remain open to absorbing the energies.
Animal healing
Animals respond very well to healing, despite the fact that they do not 'know' what is happening in the same way as ourselves.
But animals intuitively seem to understand what is happening because, unlike humans, they often move away when they have received enough healing.
The cost of healing
Many Healers do not charge, but if travel is involved then expenses are appreciated. Some accept a donation towards their work, often in the form of a charity box. Others may charge a professional fee and this issue should be discussed when you first contact the healer.
Qualifications and registration of your healer
When you first make contact with a healer, it is a good idea to ask if they belong to a healing organisation. You are also entitled to see their current, up to date membership card. Most healers will have their certificates displayed so that you can check this easily.
Your safeguard is whether they are registered with UK Healers or not which can be checked by reference to UK Healers via the link on our Welcome Page.
Healers believe that everyone has a healing mechanism that flows as an energy force around the body, mind and spirit to keep them in perfect order. Unfortunately, stress, an inadequate diet, a negative attitude and other adverse factors can block our healing mechanism so that it cannot function correctly and we become ill. Spiritual healing provides the energy needed to kick start our own healing mechanism back into action. When a healer lays his hand on you, he acts as a conductor or channel for the healing energy which he believes has the "intelligence" to go where it is needed.
Healers say that all of us have the power to heal, if we choose to develop it. However, some do seem to have a healing gift.
Healing does not always work at a physical level; the illness may remain but the ability to cope with it improves.
Healing is not just about living well, but also dying well. People healed when they are dying often die more peacefully.
Typically, to begin the treatment the healer will attune with the healing energy. Then he may scan your body, with his hands hovering just above you. This scanning is to take a reading of your body's energy levels and to locate areas of low or blocked energy where healing is needed. How long the healer spends on each area is determined by your body's needs.
During the treatment you may feel heat coming from the healer's hands, although some people feel a draught, a tingling sensation, pins and needles, or a feeling of light-headedness. Afterwards, most people say they feel relaxed and peaceful, although you might feel thirsty or sleepy. Leave a few days or a week between sessions to give the healing time to work.
If you would like to make a distant healing request, please email us at This service is entirely free of charge. However, some people have expressed a desire to send a donation by way of thank you for benefits received and these are very gratefully accepted as this helps our organisation to continually improve the facilities we offer. If you would like to send a donation direct to us, no matter how small, then please email for an address. Thank you. 
Absent healing, otherwise known as distant healing, is the healing process of sending thoughts and healing to a person without the need for the healer to be physically in their presence.
Absent healing begins as soon as you make the decision to contact us and request healing, be it for yourself or for others.
What we do ask of you is that you make yourself open for the healing to take place for it can come to you quite often in unexpected ways. Sometimes you will experience a sudden improvement to your problem or maybe an idea will come into your mind which shows you some practical steps you can take to help in your own recovery.
Experience shows that healing will always take place on some level, either physically, mentally or spiritually if we prepare ourselves to become aware of it.
Anyone may request healing by simply clicking on the 'healing' link below and giving a few relevant details such as:
* The name of the person in need of healing.
* The town or country in which they are located.
* Their condition and whether it is emotional, mental or physical.
* How long they have had the condition for.
We will then forward your request (excluding your email address) to our healers for them to give absent healing to that person and advise you immediately when this has taken place.
