Spiritual Healing History
The word 'healing' comes from the Anglo-Saxon word 'healan'
which connotes both the body and the spiritual element of the human being
as the things to be healed.
We have always had the power to heal ourselves.
It is instinctive to use our hands to comfort those in pain or distress.
In ancient times there was no division between body, mind and spirit,
so that energy was understood as a force which permeated this trinity.
With the development of science and the shift away from spirituality
the health professionals separated the three parts
and focussed their attention on the more physical, material body.
The second development was the outlawing of healing outside the Christian Church,
and the systematic execution of lay healers and psychics.
Healing only becoming legal again in 1951
The centuries of such persecution has been so powerful
that even today there is much ignorance and fear surrounding our healing birthright.
The Legacy of these historical events has been
that medicine and healthcare have evolved without a spiritual base.
However during the last 20 years people have become less satisfied
with the scientific explanations of their existance
and begun their own spiritual searching.
Everyone can heal, the gift of healing is not new, it is being re-discovered.
The results of healing are showing it is longer to be seen as a last resort.
The associations such as the NFSH, CHO and BCMA
are negotiating for medical recognition for healing as what it is,
and always has been, a powerful complimentary therapy.Spiritual Healing History

HARRY EDWARDS
Perhaps our most famous UK healer, Harry Edwards, is shown in this video healing a host of people at a demonstration held in Trafalgar Square, London. Harry put Spiritual Healing well and truly on the map with his undeniable healing successes, often defying doctors diagnosis and prognosis of untreatable conditions.

Spiritual Healing and the NHS
There have been many articles written about Spiritual Healing and the reluctance of its acceptance within the NHS.
There are of course some valid reasons for this in relation to protecting the public who may very well be vulnerable at a time of illness, stress and anxiety.
However, the phrase 'Throwing the baby out with the bathwater' comes to mind when there is reluctance in the face of overwhelming evidence that this form of healing has produced substantiated if not to say remarkable, results in the improvement in the health and wellbeing of very many people. There are many testimonials from people who have greatly benefitted from this healing.
Reiki is more acceptable to the establishment who baulk at the term Spiritual Healing, presumably because of a religious misconception. Reiki is declared as a form of Spiritual healing which causes one to ask 'What's in a name'?
There are though some breakthroughs and chinks appearing in the NHS armour and staid attitudes where some people have proven the worth of this type of healing. They are pushing the boundaries and are in fact working within the NHS on a regular and paid basis. Here are but a few accounts:-
Ruth Kaye
Published on Wednesday 28 December 2011
She’s not a doctor, but cancer patients in Leeds say she is invaluable in helping them cope with their journey. Katie Baldwin met natural healer Ruth Kaye.
‘It’s to give you an ability to cope. It gives you a coping mechanism that some people might not inwardly have. I think that is paramount in dealing with any illness.”
Emma Craven is a cancer patient being treated at St James’s Hospital in Leeds – and she’s also one of the many who have visited Ruth Kaye’s haven at the hospital’s new £220m cancer wing.
Ruth’s role is unique within the NHS – for more than 20 years she has worked in Leeds as a natural healer to help cancer patients, their families and medical staff.

Graham King
In a ground-breaking move to complement conventional cancer treatments, Mr King, who has no medical qualifications, has been appointed the first paid National Health Service healer to help Britain's sick children. With the blessing of the hospital's senior consultants, Mr King was laying his hands on the body of Martin Johnson, who in 2003 was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia that can prove fatal.
He was being treated with reiki, a type of healing which is believed to have originated in Tibet thousands of years ago. Practioners claim to channel energy into recipients using their hands placed on particular areas of their body.
Mr King, 57, is now employed by the paediatric oncology ward, an acute cancer unit at Middlesex Hospital in London. He treats around eight children a week during 30-minute sessions, always with consent from parents. Patients remain fully clothed.

Angela Buxton
Integrating Reiki into the
National Health Services (NHS) U.K.
Angie Buxton-Kling
I have been employed as a Reiki practitioner on the Hematology Unit within cancer care at University College London Hospital (UCLH) for the past seven years. My desire to work as a healer within the National Health Service came about as a result of illness within my own family.
My son Sam was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia in 1995 at the age of seven. The medical opinion was that Sam would be fortunate to live no more than a few months because, statistically, his type of leukemia did not respond to treatment. Sam lived for another three years, during which time he enjoyed a quality of life that, unfortunately, his peers with this diagnosis did not.
I began work on the unit the following week, initially for one full day weekly. Within a month, the need had been proved beyond any doubt. I was interviewed once again by the manager, who said that patients, staff and relatives had given the service a
huge "thumbs up." I was to be given a day's paid work per week and an Honorary contract. Needless to say, I was ecstatic.
Since then my work has expanded steadily, an extra day each year, to the point that last year I was appointed Complementary and Counselling Team Manager. I am now responsible for five other therapists:
