Spiritual Healing is carried out according to the philosophy and teachings of Spiritualism. The healing is of a spiritual nature and this has an effect on all levels within the body, mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. A Spiritualist Healer administers healing with this knowledge and through this realise the importance of their role as a channel for the healing energies and thus cannot direct or influence what is a natural process. The healing energies help the patient's own healing process to begin and the Healer should help the patient to realise this. The patient's general attitude can and does have a great effect on the quality of healing they receive.

It is not necessary for the patient to have faith or even believe in Spiritualist Healing to receive it. Children who are too young to understand faith or hold beliefs receive Spiritual Healing in the same way as anyone else. Animals can receive and benefit from Spiritual Healing.

There are two methods of healing, Contact Healing where the Spiritualist Healer places his hands either onto or near to a patient and Absent Healing where the Healer is not present with the patient but sends healing thoughts to them.

No massage or manipulation is used during Contact Healing and no patient is asked to remove any clothing, except for maybe an overcoat, or glasses and hearing aids for safety reasons.

All SNU registered Spiritualist Healers work within the Healing Code of Conduct issued by the Spiritualists' National Union and patients should always request the Healer to produce his registration card. This will state whether they are a registered SNU Spiritualist Healer and will show whether it is valid or not and carry an HO number.

If you are interested in becoming a Healer then please see a Church official at any of the Church's healing sessions.

Absent Healing Request

At a Church Healing it is usual to receive Contact Healing but during a service there is an ‘Healing Silence’ for people in need and who are not in a position to receive contact healing. If you know of any person who requires healing to be sent to them, or you are unable to attend a Healing Service but wish to receive healing, please contact us  and we will enter it in our Healing Book.
