7 Leading Spiritual Healing Methods

Today, I’ll talk about spiritual healing methods and their application. Spiritual Healing points to any nonphysical means of restoring the well-being of body, heart and mind. It recognizes a higher principle than what typically meets the eye as the decisive agent in returning to a fully functional person.

It is most often used to complement, rather than replace, conventional medicine, which in North America, Europe and Australia, is largely focused on pharmaceuticals and surgical intervention. In the West, you typically don’t go to a medical doctor simply because you want to feel great, but because you want to cure an unwanted or even distressing condition. You are diagnosed with a disease and then given a prescription. If you are in an emergency situation, such as breaking an arm or a leg, you are brought in immediately for acute care and surgery.

​This means that chronic conditions, such as obesity, heart-trouble and diabetes, are treated strictly through what Dr. Mimi Guarneri, formerly a heart surgeon at Scripps Institute in San Diego, calls “the Ill to the Pill.” She notes that Western medicine has been extremely effective in situations requiring intervention, but relatively ineffective for everything else.

In contrast, traditional, premodern medical systems and therapies have proven far more effective for everyday maladies. Dr. Guarneri embraces integrative medicine, which uses the most effective modality or treatment for the patient / client’s situation. She includes techniques and systems from all over the world, and frequently goes to India to stay in touch with its vast array of alternative health practices. In a clinical setting, Dr. Guarneri advocates a team approach, which might include a Western Medical Doctor, an Acupuncturist, and a Tai Chi or Yoga Practitioner all working in concert.

Holistic Healing Methods That Create A Great Impact

We are finding literally hundreds of alternative therapies have emerged in recent decades, including techniques derived from Australian Aborigines. We have selected seven of the leading approaches as representative of all the rest, and have tried to include different orientations, such as hands-on versus hands-off, with versus without a separate healer.

Every one of these approaches recognizes the importance of energy and consciousness in healing, viewing people as something more than just complex machinery. In most of these approaches, a conscious attempt is made to integrate body, mind, emotions and spirit, to see the whole person, even, from some perspectives, the Divine Being within You.
