The Healer is merely a channel for this type of energy and, as such, can neither direct nor influence its natural process in any way. He or she is purely a passive channel for that energy.

There are, basically, two forms of Spiritualist Healing in use in this country. These are known as contact and absent healing. With contact healing, the healer places his or her hands either onto the patient (with their consent) or near to the person. Neither massage nor manipulation is allowed during contact healing and no patient is asked to remove any clothing except, perhaps, an overcoat or shoes. In absent healing, the patient is not present in person but healing thoughts are directed to him or her or an animal.

Spiritualist Healing is not considered to be or offered as an alternative to orthodox medicine but is seen as complementary to it. Patients are always advised to continue with any treatment prescribed by their doctor.

All Spiritualists’ National Union healers are registered with the Spiritualists’ National Union Healing Committee and work within a specific Code of Conduct.
