Spiritual Healers
Healers work in their own and patients’ homes, in the workplace, in doctors surgeries, in hospitals, in hospices, in healing and natural health centres, in nursing and retirement homes, in community centres, in fact almost anywhere a need for healing exists. NFSH Healing Centres are being established throughout the country as operational arms of the parent organisation to form part of the local community service and a list of these can be obtained from Central Office.

Healing and the Medical Profession
There is a growing trend for healing to be given under the supervision of a doctor and healers’ patients are always advised to contact their doctors about conditions that may require medical attention. Healing is not a substitute or alternative, it works very successfully as a complement to other forms of treatment and a growing number of doctors and nurses practise healing. Healing is officially listed as a therapy recognised by the National Health Service and doctors are permitted by the General Medical Council to refer patients for spiritual healing if they wish to do so. NFSH healers may also attend hospital in-patients who request their services.

Is there any charge for spiritual healing?
The NFSH believes that healing should be freely available to all irrespective of their ability to pay and many healers make no charge for their services. However, a growing number of healers now give healing as their occupation and they will charge accordingly but concessions are often available. The NFSH is a charitable organization dependent on voluntary contributions to cover the cost of its administrators and information services and NFSH Centres therefore usually suggest a minimum donation of £5.00. Similarly donations for this purpose can also be made when treatment is received from individual members.

Some further thoughts
Spiritual healing penetrates the deepest levels of a person’s being where many illnesses have their origin, for example, stress, tension and fatigue – so that symptoms disappear when the cause is revealed and removed. Changes in attitude and the quality of life often follow and continue the good work. The power of nature to enable us to help ourselves, recognised for thousands of years, has been overshadowed in modern times by the growing emphasis on technology, its benefits underestimated, and under-utilised and misunderstood. It is the power which spiritual healers seek to tap, addressing illness and injury at its source and aiding recovery at all levels of the patient’s being.
