Spiritual healing is a natural, non-invasive complementary therapy that works with the universal or divine "life force" energy believed to surround us all. A spiritual healer acts as a channel to direct this energy to a person to help stimulate the body's natural healing abilities. Spiritual healing is distinct from faith healing, as it does not typically require a specific religious tradition or faith to be effective

The terms spiritual healing and energy healing are often used interchangeably, as both are alternative therapies that operate on the principle of using universal energy to promote balance. A spiritual healer, however, may emphasize a connection to a specific divine or spiritual source, while an energy healer may refer to a more universal, non-religious energy. Spiritual healing often encompasses energy healing techniques, but is not limited to them.

While the exact mechanism is not proven by conventional scientific standards, it is believed to work by focusing and directing universal healing energy. A healer typically acts as a conduit for this energy, channeling it to the client to clear energetic blockages and restore balance. Techniques may involve laying hands on or near the body, meditation, and focused intention.

Yes, many practitioners offer "distant healing," in which they channel healing energy to a person in another location. This is based on the principle that energy is not bound by physical distance.

No, it does not. An open mind and willingness to receive the healing is considered more important than any specific religious belief or faith. The energy is believed to be accessible to skeptical people as well.

No. Spiritual healing is a complementary therapy and should be used alongside conventional medical treatments, not in place of them. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment of any medical condition.
