Hands on Spiritual Healing & Counselling
Gentle holistic healing to restore balance of Body, Mind and Spirit
Timothy Pope

What is Hands on Spiritual Healing?
What is Hands on Spiritual Healing is an effective natural aid to self healing. By balancing the energy centre and giving light healing energy to the client, negative energy can be lifted and dispersed helping the energy centres return to a more balanced functioning. By being helped to release the negative energy the person can let go of past negative events and return to a more happier balanced existence. Where there is physical pain, possibly caused through locked in negative energy, the lifting of the negative energy can remove the discomfort.
Pain in many cases is the body's way of showing you that there is a problem that needs to be looked at (i.e.) the issue that created the negative energy that is causing the discomfort. With support from the healer and the opportunity to talk about issues concerned, hopefully over a period of time the client can obtain a state of good health, free of pain in the body, mind and spirit.

What is this Energy?
Hands on spiritual healing it is said, comes from a divine source of God, some might say that the healing energy is natural within nature.

Here we could enter the argument of what God is. As a spiritual healer I recognise God as the supreme spirit, that life giving energy that is present in all forms of life, therefore, this concept embraces the realm of nature. Even if the client has no religious beliefs in God, the healing energy will still be received and people of any belief can benefit from it. A positive approach of wanting to help themselves is an advantage and will assist both healer and client during the process.

What Happens?
On your introduction to the healer an informal chat will take place to get to know each other. The healer would introduce himself and explain the healing methods used. No healing would take place on a first visit. An information exchange would take place with the voluntary completion of a form and general outline of the problems being experienced by the client. If the client is interested in making an appointment for a further visit, either for counselling prior to receiving healing, or for a healing session, then an appointment could be made for the following week or for when it is convenient.

The healer is the channel for the healing energy, the client takes the healing energy through the healer like he or she would use a straw to suck their favourite drink from its glass. The clients system would only take enough healing energy that is able to feel comfortable with, so on a deeper level the client has control of the healing session. The actual healing method is with hands on healing, where the client sits on a stool and listens to relaxing music, while the healer starts at the top of the body at the head and gradually works down the back of the body to the base of the spine.

The healer gently touches the body as he works through each of the seven main energy centres. There is no need to remove any clothing except for hats, coat and glasses, if worn and physical contact is kept to a minimum. Having worked down through the energy centres, the healer will then proceed to return back up the spine to finish where he started, at the head.

This type of holistic healing takes about 15-20 minutes to complete with a little longer if there is a particular discomfort in one area that needs more attention. The total session lasts about 45 minutes to an hour allowing for discussion either side of the healing.

How Will I feel?
Most people find the healing session relaxing, some people feel hot or cold in certain areas, also possibly a tingling sensation. Others just enjoy listening to the music and don't feel any particular sensations. What ever the client feels does not matter, as the healing still takes place.
It is important to remember that healing is governed by natural law and our own lives are governed by the law of karma, the law of cause and effect. It follows that there is room in some peoples lives for pain and suffering, as it may be a lesson that they must learn, for this reason the healer cannot guarantee any cure.

However, the healing energy will bring about some benefit to the sufferer, it is never wasted. Even in the case of terminally ill patients, if the person passes back to spirit, that passing with have been assisted by either direct of distant healing. There are many times of course when through healing, people are totally restored to fullness of health.

What reactions might I have?
Reactions, if any, are usually quite mild, there is a possibility of feeling tearful over the next couple of days or of having meaningful dreams. By removing negative energy from your system the release is sometimes followed by these events. Once the problem has been realised by the individual and released then it normally disappears for good.

Most people feel more energetic and alive after a course of treatment and a sense of relief when negative issues have been rectified and replaced with a more positive attitude.

It is a good idea to keep a journal, making notes of dreams, feelings, emotions, thoughts etc. between appointments to remind you to discuss them on your next visit with the healer.

History
Spiritual healing is not new, it goes as far back as the history of man, evidence exists that healing dates back thousands of years BC. The bible is also full of evidence of healing being used to assist people, Jesus, it is claimed was influenced in his healing ministry by knowledge of the Egyptian practices taught by the priests of Aesculapius. It is believed that he spent time in Egypt and also with the Jewish sect known as the Essenes, who are known to have practiced hands on healing. So it is believed that healing was practiced several thousands of years before the coming of Jesus, as far back as the ancient Egyptian times. Hands on healing was used in various countries throughout Europe and was in the Church of England prayer book until 1719. Regrettably the Church, which was founded for the purpose of healing the sick persecuted the ordinary people for practicing their natural healing gifts or abilities. Jesus said to his disciples"go forth and do likewise" and Paul of Tarsus worked hard and as a result the Christian church grew.

This continued for more than 500 years as the church of Healing but then gradually organised religions took over and hands on healing slowly lost its place in the main stream religions, only to re-emerge n modern times and once again be used more and more.
