Hi Eveyone,
Thanks for all your replies.
just recieved some info through the post from the NFSH this morning after reading the leaflet it sounds the same
heres a little passage
spiritual healing is the channelling of healing energies through the healer to the patient. it re energises and relaxes the patients to enable their own natural resources to deal with illness or injury in the best possible way. by attunement - perhaps best described as a combination of empathy and intent - either in the presence of the patient or at a distance - and by directing energy, usually through the hands, the healer seeks to supplement the depleated energy of the recipient, dealing with stress at whatever level it exists and releasing the bodies own recuperative abilities to deal with the problem in the most effective way for that individual.
patients recieving healing tend to experience sensations of being re energised or relaxed, pins and needles, heat or coolness and pain coming to the surface and dispersing indicating that the energies are indeed going to work etc...
when i last went for spiritual healing at the church i was having terrible problems with my back i could hardly walk i went to the chiropracter in the day and for healing at night sweat just rolled off me while recieving healing.
my back was wet through, after i felt great. this was many years ago.
ive sorted out my back problems now.
during self healing with reiki iam so relaxed its lovely.
when recieving reiki still nice , but this massive overwhelming urge to cry my heart out like a massive pull on that "lump in your throat" i dont know how i managed to keep it in.
i think ive answered my own question now.
with my past experience before i was wondering if
spiritual healing and reiki worked on different levels - maybe spiritual helped more with ailments and reiki with the whole picture.
but now i know it isnt so.
love to you all
