Genuine spiritual healers

It might be worth considering that the etymology of the word 'heal' which is not curing of a condition as such, but to 'make whole'.

It's sad that posts about spiritual healing or similar are immediately rubbished by some, everyone is entitled to say what they believe without censorship!

If one thinks about the connection between mind and body and the understanding that is growing that illness may well be a reflection of inner battles or happenings in life (or indeed in family history: Google epigenetics), then finding a person who has the capacity to offer time and love may well lead to some kind of healing.

If healing means quite possibly, not a medical 'cure', but finding inner peace or coming to terms with the physical or mental condition with a medical name then surely, that is as valid as one's body being all but wrecked by chemotherapy or similar and then dying anyway feeling wretched.

Hetty, I'd have thought like you except for a healing event involving me which was spooky and which I was able to examine without bias. I am normally sceptical.

I am not sure what you mean by spiritual healers. I believe that we are made up of body, mind and spirit which are all inter connected .We can trust doctors for physical healing, psychiatrists for mental healing and spiritual healing can be found within the churches. I do not feel it has anything to do with mediums and spirits.

Google Wikipedia “List of prizes for evidence of the paranormal”
Over the last 100 years numerous people and organisations have challenged anyone to prove they have paranormal powers and substantial rewards have been offered.
Not one prize has been awarded as not one person has been able to demonstrate paranormal powers under controlled conditions.
Please don’t waste your time with this. These healing industries prey on the gullible.

There's a good thread running about being invisible, might be relevant, or the one about cloth ears!

There is no such thing as a genuine spiritual healer. You don’t need them anyway.
You say you believe in God. So go directly to Him. He has the power to heal. Pray silently.
And above all, do not ignore Science. Trust the Doctors, who are treating you.

People like the healers, or your local wise women and wise men, visited because no one could afford a doctor. They knew cures and made their own medicines using plants but sadly they were executed long ago for witchcraft. Times of seeking a spiritual healer is tough. Beware of these advertising. My advice to you is visit the local GP and even a nurse practitioner. Also the chemist will give advice.
