Depending on the school of healing to which your practitioner belongs, you may meet in a clinic, your home, the healer’s home or a place of worship. You will generally be asked some questions about your condition, medical history and lifestyle, and the healer will spend a little time ‘centring’ themselves, or attuning themselves to you. You may be asked to sit or lie down – fully clothed - and the healer will probably stand or sit next to you.
The healer will lightly place their hands on you, or hold them two to three inches above your body in order that the healing energy flows through them. He or she will then make sweeping movements in order to conduct the energy, direct it to where it’s needed, and detect any imbalances or blockages in your own energy field. Candles, crystals and soft music may be used.
When receiving healing, you may experience sensations of tingling, heat or coolness. This won’t be painful and will soon pass. Some people have found the treatment so relaxing they have had to go home afterwards to rest.
A healing session can be very short, just a few minutes of actual healing, or as long as an hour. Generally a course of up to 10 sessions will be required as instant cures are extremely rare.
