 Healing demonstrations at the 1997 Festival of Mind, Body and Spirit in London. Courtesy Fortean Picture Library. Healing (religion, spiritualism, and occult)see also Distant Healing; Spiritual HealingThere are a number of methods of healing apart from the standard medical approach. Laying-on of hands, Reiki, spiritual, herbal, magnetic, faith, auric, distant, color, and crystal are some of the types and terms used. Healing is making well someone who is ill. The method used to bring about the positive change is what varies. A psychic healer is one who has a basic desire to help those in need and who will dedicate him-or herself to that task. Bletzer suggests that “all methods of orthodox and unorthodox medicine and therapies are designed to help change the body chemistry in their particular way, making the cells normalize to make it easier for the body to heal itself.” In other words, it is the body that is healing itself; it is not a person, specific therapy, or outside power that is doing it. Invariably the healer has no knowledge of the process of healing, and does not know what actually takes place within the body. With the laying-on of hands, for example, there may be the general supposition that when the hands come into contact with the patient’s body there is a magnetic current that passes from healer to healee (a term often applied to the one receiving unorthodox healing). The healer may imagine that current coming from deity, from the infinite intelligence, from the earth, or from any number of origins. Seldom does a healer believe that it originates in him-or herself. Nandor Fodor said, “[The problem of psychic healing] bristles with interesting and stubborn facts which refuse to be fitted into pigeonholes. Suggestion is entirely ruled out when healers cure animals. The process is interwoven with psychical manifestations, the success of healing often serving as evidence of the supernormal, and the supernormal serving as evidence of extraneous intervention.” Fodor said of early healers, “In England the first spiritual healer, a lecturer on mesmerism, named Hardinge, became convinced through spirit communications that epilepsy was demoniac possession and undertook to cure such cases by spirit instruction. J. D. Dixon, a homeopathic doctor was the next English healer who, being converted to Spiritualism in 1857, treated his patients with prescriptions obtained by raps.” A nineteen-year-old English boy named Daniel Offord wrote prescriptions in Latin, a language of which he had no knowledge. Two months before it happened, he predicted the cholera epidemic of 1853. As an antidote he prescribed a daily dose of a half teaspoonful of carbon. In spiritual healing it is frequently the spirit of a deceased doctor or surgeon who comes through the medium to give or suggest the necessary healing. Munich-born Dr. Adolf Fritz, who died in 1918, worked through Brazilian psychic healer José Arigó. Sometimes it is the spirit guide of the medium. Gladys Osborne Leonard’s Native American guide, North Star, would work through her. Sources: Bletzer, June G.: The Encyclopedia Psychic Dictionary.
