How does a spiritual healer heal?

A spiritual healer does not heal. You should be very clear about that. In spiritual healing, it is God or spirit that does the healing work. In the Christian bible it notes that: "It is the Father that doeth the work." In spiritual healing then it is always spirit (or the Father) that does the healing work. It is spirit, for instance, that diagnoses the patient and it is spirit that determines the make-up of the spiritual healing rays that constitute the spiritual healing treatment. The spiritual healer does not and can not do that. The healer's role in the spiritual healing process is to attune or connect to spirit as well as they possibly can so that the spiritual healing power that derives from spirit can be transmitted through their spirit as best as it can. It is when the healer attunes to spirit as well as they possibly can that the best and most effective healing energy can be transmitted through them. This is when the healer gets their best healing results.

It is appropriate at this point to state that spiritual healing is a spiritual phenomenon and is spiritual mediumship. It is but one example of a phenomenon of the spirit and one example of spiritual mediumship. In all cases of spiritual mediumship, in all cases whereby the power of the spirit is channelled through a human medium, the energy and the type of spiritual phenomena may be different but the same basic processes are involved in each. Therefore, by knowing the basic processes involved with spiritual healing one knows the basic processes involved with all kinds of spiritual mediumship

Why is theory important for the spiritual healers and mediums?

You may say: “But spiritual healing is fundamentally different to other forms of healing in that the spiritual healer does not actually diagnose and treat the patient. Because of that 180 degree difference, spiritual healers therefore do not need theory to be effective and to obtain good healing results.” My response is that: “It is indeed true that the spiritual healer does not diagnose and treat the patient – but it is not true that the spiritual healer can still practise effectively without having a good understanding of the theory of spiritual healing. In spiritual healing the healer still needs to have a good understanding of theory and apply it as well as they possibly can so that spirit and the healing power that derives from the spirit can do the healing work. In spiritual healing a large part of the relevant theory seeks to prepare the physical, mental, and spiritual inner and outer environments of the healer so as to allow them to co-operate with spirit in the best possible way so that spirit can work through them in the best possible way. This is what produces the best possible healing results. Let me tell you that theory is just as important to the practitioner of spiritual healing as it is to the medical practitioner. The importance of theory is the same - it is just that the focus of theory is different. For medical practitioners, for instance, theory makes them more effective healers but for spiritual healing practitioners theory makes them more effective in channelling spiritual healing power. Theory makes spiritual healers more effective in channelling spirit which is the real healer in spiritual healing. With both types of healers though, theory ultimately allows a better standard of healing to be delivered through them.”
