Spiritual or 'energy' healing:

White bird


I have for many years known of clinical and other reports about the benefits of healing and it is now used a little within the NHS. Many years ago I completed the training with the NFSH (National Federation of Spiritual Healers), but at that time I did not take it any further or start to use it in my practice. In recent years however some people who have come to see me have noticed that when I am working with them in the clinic they sometimes start to feel very relaxed or sleepy, or slightly dizzy and 'spaced out' and sometimes also unexpectedly want to laugh a lot or cry. There have also been a few patients who have been psychic or sensitive who have commented about what they sensed was a healing energy.

 


It took me quite a while to acknowledge that this was happening partly because it was happening without me trying to do anything. This type of thing was also for many years something I was suspicious of and tried to avoid in my practice, preferring to work with more tangible therapies such as nutrition and herbs. This suspicion was probably partly due to being born and brought up in the Glastonbury area and having witnessed some bizarre forms of therapy. 

 


I think the real turning point for me was about three years ago when I experienced a very powerful and transformative dream. This was a very personal experience for me so I do not want to go into great details here but if anyone reading this is particularly interested in knowing more please get in touch. At the time a part of me still questioned this dream and the effects it seemed to have on me and so I got advice from psychotherapist about it. The conclusion was that I had what was termed a 'peak experience' or 'spiritual emergency'. I feel it has probably been since then that the healing phenomenon has gradually become apparent.

 


In more recent times I have offered time just for this healing to see if it would help and usually there is an obvious effect, if nothing else a kind of deep relaxation and in some cases more obvious benefits and relief of symptoms. I have no idea how beneficial this healing is or how long the benefits last, or even if this phenomenon of my being able to pass on healing energy will continue. I have noticed that I do not act as a healer with everyone or at every hour of the day and so I cannot guarantee a wonderful healing experience but if you feel drawn to this method of healing please ask me.  Sometimes healing session (which usually lasts about 20 to 30 minutes) can be included along with a normal consultation and at other times it would be best to arrange for a separate time.   Please contact me if you are interested in having some time for this healing.

As it can leave you feeling very relaxed and sometimes quite sleepy do not ask for healing unless you have allowed some time afterwards to recover (especially if you have to drive etc).  Sometimes the sleepy effect can last for a day or two afterwards and during this time the healing benefits are still working. Allowing yourself  rest during these times helps the healing process. N.B. if you do want healing please let me know before your appointment.
