| Healers have been around almost as long as human | | | | magnetic, or electrical disturbances created where a |
| beings have been on this planet and as we have | | | | high level of emotion has been exhibited. How often |

| they have come to believe Spiritual Healing has no | | | | me, that if emotions have been released, we may be |
| longer a use full place in modern society to make | | | | aware of their after-effects due to a change in the |
| people well.Indeed many people have come to believe | | | | energies generated by people. Likewise, I believe that if |
| that Healing as a profession is no more than some | | | | a person is suffering from physical ailment, they may |

| century the reality is very different.Healers are now | | | | and it is this that a healer is able to sense.In all |
| being invited into hospitals by the health service. | | | | probability, we all have the ability to sense these things, |
| Doctors still provide placebos, often with considerable | | | | but most people choose to ignore them. Some might |
| beneficial effect and in the only major research | | | | state that they felt something wrong 'in their waters' or |
| performed since the Second World War in both | | | | had a gut feeling. I think that healers just have spent |
| Europe and America to determine which adopted | | | | more time learning to sense these fields and to listen |
| mythologies were most effective in psychology and | | | | and try to understand them. I am sure that most of |
| counseling, the results showed that the method | | | | you would sense that something was wrong if you |
| adopted was not the determining factor but whether | | | | were alongside some one who was deeply emotional |
| the psychologist or councilor was a Healer.In this world | | | | and upset.In order to do this, a healer has to transcend |
| of genetic engineering, keyhole surgery and new drugs | | | | themselves into a slightly different state of |
| we Healers are very much alive and well.Only as little | | | | consciousness. Lets face it, no one is going to feel |

| Healers have achieved successful results without the | | | | create positive change in the client, it is also necessary |

| Healers.So the question is, how on earth does healing | | | | This enables the healer and client to share this altered |
| really work? Firstly one has to take into account the | | | | state and inter-react between each other. This |
| incidental role of counseling and the art of | | | | inter-reaction is what I believe to be the basis of real |
| caring.Surgeries are very busy places these days, the | | | | healing. The client is creating an electromagnetic field |
| average interview time only being three minutes. | | | | which is the result of illness or strong emotional |
| Perhaps just having the time to listen can have in its | | | | catharsis. As the healer, by creating a stronger field of |

| upon our physical well-being. If one is very highly | | | | client is therefore often more able to change the illness |
| stressed or overwhelmed with emotional conflicts, the | | | | and begin to heal. Biofeedback is he believes, the |
| immune system collapses and people find their pain | | | | essential ingredient to healing. If a better energy field |
| and discomfort thresholds much lower. As a result | | | | surrounds the client, even for a short time, their body |
| sickness can prevail. It is a truism that happy people | | | | senses that they are well and can begin to react to |
| feel much better and have more energy with which to | | | | this in a positive way.It is possible that healing is only |
| enjoy their life to the full and pay less attention to the | | | | successful with physical illness when there is a |
| negative aspects of their life.Those conducting | | | | psycho-somatic component. However, it may be the |
| research into the healing phenomena also point to the | | | | case that psychology plays its role in physical illness |
| placebo effect. In other words if a client wishes to get | | | | much more frequently than we think.Steiner believed |
| well and believes that the healer can make him well, | | | | that most physical ailments arose from peoples own |
| quite often he will become well. Heath is so often a | | | | state of mind. Probably, this is taking it a bit to far, as |

| upon the eventual outcome. I have no doubt that these | | | | the way they are. This is a truism we may all be |
| two factors play an important role in the work of a | | | | aware of, for instance, you will probably have all |
| successful healer. The United States conducted | | | | experienced a time when a very upset or anxious |

| ESP, telepathy and of course healing. The research | | | | and if properly developed can be very powerful |
| shows significant gifts in these areas and these gifts | | | | indeed.One might wonder why a healer is able to |
| really exist. Science however is often very | | | | change the client's electro-magnetic field rather than |
| uncomfortable with these findings because up till now, | | | | the other way round. For the most part, it is the simple |
| a kind of force or such like has not been found that | | | | expression of the balance of power in the |
