Many people ask what spiritual healing is, and does it actually work? The answer is yes, spiritual healing can work in amazing and incredible ways. There are many spiritual healing modalities available to us. All work slightly differently, but all have the same theme in common: healing our emotional and spiritual energetic bodies. When you heal the emotional and spiritual, then the physical and mental are more free to be in a state of calm, peace and alignment.
The key principle to grasp in spiritual healing is this: everything in our lives is a reflection of our inner state. As within, so without. By healing the inner, our outer world can reflect back to us with more balance and harmony. We are all human, and part of the human experience is emotional struggle of some form. However, when we are spiritually aligned, our ability to overcome our struggles, to go within and heal the root cause, becomes a powerful way of being.
Take the example of a broken relationship. This can feel extremely painful. Essentially a broken heart. Taking this hurt, accepting the cause is something in you, is a step towards self-mastery. At first it can be difficult for our ego-mind to accept this concept. It can be easier initially to feel that things ‘happen to us’ and (often unconsciously) accept the feeling we are the ‘victim’. However, if you can acknowledge the circumstances are a mirror of your inner being, then working with spiritual healing can help you to uncover and release the root cause of the pain.
Much of our pain is rooted in other life experiences, and if there has been a very traumatic event it can create a soul wound. Spiritual healing can help you discover the cause of the soul wound, tune into it and heal. Spiritual healing may also uncover a negative belief system such as ‘I am not worthy’ as well as heal difficult ancestral patterning. Difficult ancestral patterns can keep rolling out for generations, until a brave soul comes in and decides to change the pattern for the good. Clearing ancestral patterning, clears it for the future generations also.
If our soul is ready to release and heal, then situations will manifest in your life that reflect back to you what is ready for release. However, these situations can be painful, and you may need support to uncover the causes and blocked emotions enabling their release. The more evolved your soul, the more healing and releasing you may find you need.
Spiritual healing can even clear a vow or contract we may have made in another lifetime. Religious vows for example, can stay with us throughout incarnations until they are formally released and dissolved. A religious vow of abstinence can keep showing up in our lives in different forms until released. This may feel frustrating (and it does!) however, your soul has put you on a path where you will have opportunity to release any limiting vows and contracts. You are reading this for example, so there may be a message here for you.
