[toggle title_open=”What is Spiritual Healing or Energy Healing?” title_closed=”What is Energy Healing?” hide=”yes” border=”yes” style=”default” excerpt_length=”0″ include_excerpt_html=”no”]Energy Healing is the act of restoring balance and harmony to the body, mind and spirit of the client. It is a therapeutic approach which is natural, non-invasive and holistic. The intention is to promote self-healing and bring about a sense of well being and peace to the client.[/toggle]
[toggle title_open=”How does it work?” title_closed=”How does it work?” hide=”yes” border=”yes” style=”default” excerpt_length=”0″ include_excerpt_html=”no”]An Energy Healing practitioner is able to act as a conduit, connecting to the universal energy source and will either lightly touch or work a few inches from the body. This allows healing energy to pass into the client’s energy field, thus restoring balance and harmony.
Holistic medicine teaches that the body’s energy system is a key element to maintaining health and vitality. When the body’s energy system becomes imbalanced and blocked, illness can result. By channeling universal energy through the Healing practitioner to the client, these blockages are energetically removed and the body starts to function as it is designed to.

For all of them, the energy originates from the same place and the differences have to do with country of origin and how the practitioner is trained to attune to the universal energy source. Reiki originated in Japan and teaches the use of symbols in the attunement process. The NFSH-The Healing Trust Method originated in England and does not involve the use of symbols. NFSH-The Healing Trust offers a professional training program which insures the practitioner has met certain standards of training and practice. Reiki does not offer a certification program.

We charge for our time, not for the healing. The healing comes through the practitioner, and not from us.
Answer by Healer Member Nancy O’Donohue: My mother raised me to be a gracious hostess, as well as a gracious guest. Thank you notes were a must. To this day, whenever I am invited to a friend’s home for dinner, my first question is, “What can I bring?”
Contribution and generosity are the cornerstones of a balanced life and something handed down from all ancient societies. There is a teaching among Native Americans that, “It’s hard for us to say, ‘thank you’ without something in our hands.”
Yes, healing is very natural. And it is the position NFSH- The Healing Trust and founder Harry Edwards that everyone has the innate ability to do healing.
But we also teach the importance of self-healing of the healer and learning to do energy healing in a grounded, protected manner for the protection of both the healer and the client. Training to enhance the gift is highly recommended. I have done healing sessions for natural healers who had absorbed so much of their client’s released negative energy that the healers themselves became sick. They may have had a natural gift, but not enough training to know how to use it fully and keep themselves well.
A client giving something in exchange for a healing session shows that the client values the time and effort the healer has put into enhancing what may have started out as a natural gift.
Research shows that the best healers have a strong meditation practice. All the time that goes into the healer’s own self-healing and spiritual practice adds to the benefit they are able to offer clients.
Last, but not least, being willing to give something in exchange indicates that the client is invested in and committed to their own healing. Money is a highly convenient medium of exchange in our society. But it’s not the only way to offer exchange. I have done healing for snow plowing, art work, house cleaning and a variety of other interesting trades.
The concept of exchange for value makes the world go round in a smooth, harmonious manner. And makes us all gracious guests on planet earth.
