^Not sure what you mean by "spiritual healing." Please elaborate.
Hi
Arianrhod
I promote medical research and development of methods
currently applied to healing cancer, schizophrenia, and other medical and mental conditions, that basically involve diagnosing where people have held on to negative conflicts, emotions or memories that are BLOCKING their minds and bodies from healing naturally. When regular medical or mental therapy doesn't work, the healers look deeper into what is blocking the natural process, since the mind and body are geared toward self-healing by design.
The levels that people tend to have the most serious blockages:
* addictions and abuses tied to unresolved issues with "mother or father" conflicts, either family or romantic relations that aren't fully at peace. So this builds up negative fears, anxieties or resentments and the denial and blame gets projected forward onto future situations in a vicious cycle.
when the healers identify the people or memories that the person hasn't forgiven, then by letting these go this can open up the channels to receive more lifegiving positive energy that allows healing on many levels, body mind spirit and relations with others.
Because this has been used to heal Physical conditions of abuse, addiction and disease, that's where spiritual healing therapy can cut the costs of treatment and also the cost of abuse, crime and other social ills related to the cycles of abuse. The whole recovery process follows this same "forgiveness" therapy where problems can be corrected instead
* generational issues and ills
Some illnesses and conditions are inherited from past generations passed down that affect future relations. Some of these are traceable genetically, some psychologicaly, but others are spiritual connections.
Either way, again, the process of healing involves Identifying the root causes of blockages or "negative energy or karma/sin/conditions" projected forward that actually are tied to events in the past that collected negative energy that the healing prayers seek to remove.
By forgiving and praying for healing, these channels can be opened up to let the natural flow through and renew the person's health. There are even cases I would like studied of praying with the mother or grandmother, where the child receives healing as a result; so this seems to indicate a spiritual connection.
* demonic voices, sickness, personalities and obsessions/addictions
The most extreme conditions I would recommend for study are
the deeply sick and dangerous criminal illnesses involving demonic personalities taking over a person's mind and will. Cases of healing severe schizophrenia are covered in Scott Peck's books "Glimpses of the Devil" and "People of the Lie" where he discovered the distinction between the real person and the demonic sickness that could be removed so their natural will and mind could be restored if helped in time.
Dr. Francis MacNutt also mentions healing schizophrenia in his book on "Healing" while his wife, a licensed psychotherapist, has applied these methods to help clients overcome a wide range of conditions from suicidal refusal to cooperate, to unwanted homosexual attractions, by working on deep healing at the root of where the conditions came from.
I listed some of these resources on a webpage to promote medical research studies on
http://www.spiritual-healing.us
Dr. MacNutt has a study on RA conducted formally on his team, where the conclusion was that HIS methods and team showed a positive result from spiritual healing on RA patients (but this doesn't mean all groups or methods work the same way and yield the same results). In fact, his books and teachings advise people that the results ARE going to be unique for each case, and can never be dictated. The whole point is to work with nature, science and medicine in harmony, focus on diagnosing the cause of blocking and prayer/forgiveness to remove it,
and then let the healing process work by itself. It is not to dictate or control the healing which is up to nature and not something we control.
So the results can vary from miraculous overnight changes that can only be attributed to the healing prayer, to longterm changes that may be harder to monitor for study, to changing other circumstances around the person instead of what was thought to be the target issue.
In general the healing process is natural, voluntary, safe and effective in whatever form it turns out to manifest. The only dangerous practices are mixing the positive healing prayer with any negative occult or dark energy forces, or the "fraudulent faith" malpractice of DENYING medical help "as a test of faith" instead of using all available resources together.
Neither of those is part of the natural type of spiritual healing, but people have gotten confused with the other approaches that become harmful.
I want to make sure that when I talk about spiritual healing, it is clear I mean the natural process that works WITH science and medicine,
doesn't reject either one, and does not make a condition of religion.
The truly effective methods help people let go, not project further.
I believe the natural types of spiritual healing can reduce
the causes of abuse addictions and crime, so that the prison
and mental health systems can focus on corrections and cure,
and more resources are freed up to cover the greater populations.
