Healing has ancient roots. It dates back to the beginning of written history - around 5,000 years BC.

The purpose of healing is to encourage the innate self-healing abilities of the person being healed on all levels - Mind, Body and Spirit. Healing energy is activated by the intention of the healer who attunes to both the person to be healed and the universal healing energies all around us.

Healers spend two years as probationer healers developing their abilities through meditation, personal spiritual development and healing practice before they can be assessed and registered.

Healing does not require you to have any specific religious or spiritual beliefs, just an open mind and a willingness to relax and be open to all outcomes. Everyone benefits from healing in some way or another, but as an individual you will respond in your own individual way. It does help if you are relaxed and comfortable with your healer and receptive to the healing energy. Healing sessions have a cumulative effect and although some people have a noticeable response after one session, others may need several sessions. A long-standing problem will not necessarily disappear overnight!

Healing is complementary to orthodox medicine, not an alternative. You should continue to see your doctor if you are already being treated for a specific condition - and it would be courteous to mention that you are also receiving healing. Explain to your doctor that it helps to stimulate the self-healing abilities of the body and does not interfere with, but complements, medical treatment. Never stop taking your prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. Healers will always ask whether you have consulted your GP.

How Does Healing Work?                                                                                                                                                                Top

During the healing session a healer opens their awareness to the universal energy and directs it to the client. The client receives the healing energy which flows through the healer, but does not come from the healer. A healer treats the whole person, not specific diseases, as the aim is to re-balance the energy of the client and allow the healing to take place.

What to expect from a Healing session

 A healing session from me will usually take place at my therapy room at Mirasol in Exmouth, East Devon unless you are too ill and specifically request that I visit your home. I will travel to nearby towns and villages such as Lympstone, Woodbury, Woodbury Salterton, Budleigh Salterton, etc. for an extra charge.

 At your first session I will ask you to tell me your current medical or emotional concerns and a little about yourself in  general. This information is noted in a confidential client record which you are free to see at any time. Nobody else will have access to this record without your express permission. This initial consultation can take 15 to 30 minutes depending on how much you want to discuss your situation.

I use a therapy couch for healing unless you prefer to sit in a chair. You will only be asked to remove your coat and shoes. I will ask your permission  before I touch you, and a treatment usually begins by placing my hands gently on your shoulders. The rest of the treatment is usually carried out with my hands away from your body, although I may occasionally touch your feet, an arm or a leg if I feel it is appropriate. The treatment is carried out in silence to maximize your capacity for relaxation. If you find it hard to relax at the beginning of the treatment I will talk you through a body awareness relaxation exercise. You can listen to some relaxing music if you prefer. These usually help. The treatment will end with my hands on your shoulders.

Afterwards you will be offered a glass of water and given a chance to share with me your healing experience if you wish to do so.

Healers do not diagnose, claim to cure or use any body manipulation except gentle relaxation of the neck and shoulders if needed.

What Will You Feel During the Healing Session?

This varies from person to person. Most people experience a deep relaxation and sense of calm and well-being. You may feel a mild tingling sensation or warmth, coolness, mild pressure or other gentle sensations. Sometimes there is an initial worsening of pain which then disperses as the healing energy gets to work. Occasionally people fall asleep as they let go of all tension and relax completely. Your body will draw in as much healing energy as it needs and this will automatically go to where it is needed most. This does not involve any conscious effort on your part. Your job is to relax, keep an open mind and enjoy the experience.

Healing can benefit you in unexpected ways as it seeks out the underlying cause of your problems. The outcome of a healing session may not be apparent straight away as the healing continues after your treatment has finished. You may find that you become a little emotional as balance is restored on many levels. This will pass and leave you feeling calm and relaxed.

How Many Sessions Should You Have?

This will vary from person to person depending on how you respond to the treatment though it is usual to have four to six weekly or twice-weekly treatments to start with. After that we can review your treatment and you might decide to come back for the occasional 'top-up' as required. If you have a long-standing chronic problem this can take longer. Do not give up after only a few sessions as it is rare for people not to experience some benefits from healing.
