Hands-on healing has been given many names and is taught and practised using a variety of systems world-wide, but the essential nature of this healing art remains the same. Hands-on healing is the ability to channel a range of spiritual, magnetic or vital energies for the purpose of stimulating the innate self-healing abilities of others. Often these energies are transmitted from one person to another via the hands, hence ‘hands-on’ healing. A healer may physically place their hands upon the head or body of the recipient and allow the energy available to flow through them and into any area, physical, mental or emotional, that is in need of healing support. However, physical contact is not an essential part of this process, and many healers work by placing their hands near the recipient rather than on their body, sending energy through the auric body first, which finds its way to wherever it is needed physically.

Traditionally this kind of healing has often been called spiritual healing or faith healing. The term spiritual healing is relevant because the healing does occur on the spiritual level first and, through the spiritual, is then able to affect changes holistically throughout the entire system. ‘Faith healing’, although a term that is still commonly applied to these abilities, is inaccurate and greatly misleading. It implies that faith is essential for healing to occur and suggests that these abilities are inextricably linked to religious beliefs. Neither is true; the recipient just needs to be willing to experiment with this kind of healing for it to be of benefit. Many people who have no spiritual or religious beliefs, and who are initially cynical about the efficacy of consulting healers, have benefited greatly from healing treatments. For the healers themselves, there is no need to subscribe to any particular faith or creed in order to develop these abilities successfully.

The exchange of healing energy can be given by people of all ages and from all social, economic, cultural and religious backgrounds. Similarly, everyone can benefit from healing, regardless of condition, background or beliefs. You do not even have to be sick to benefit. Many people who are essentially healthy visit healers on a regular basis to help maintain their health and to enhance the quality of their lives.

Some healers do not even get physically close to the people they are helping, but are instead able to channel healing energy from the other side of a room or even from a great distance. Good counsellors frequently channel healing energy to their clients, often without being consciously aware of what they are doing. Numerous healers engage in distant or absent healing, and it is possible to send healing energy even to someone on the other side of the world.

Everyone can learn to give healing. Some people have a highly developed healing gift, but with practice and a willingness to experiment it is something that we can all do. I have often taught complete beginners to give hands-on healing in under two hours; even if some individuals are unsure of the quality or the validity of what they are doing, the recipients usually report tangible feelings of peace, relaxation and harmony, and derive great benefit from the experience. Of course, as with any other skill, mastery comes with time, patience, persistence and fine-tuning.
