Spiritual Healing is a natural energy therapy. It complements conventional medicine by treating the whole person - mind, body and spirit. Spiritual Healers act as a conduit for healing energy, often described as 'love and light' which relaxes the body, releases tensions and stimulates self-healing. The benefits of healing can be felt on many levels, not just the physical, and the effects can be profound.

Isn't it Faith Healing? What's the difference?

No. Spiritual Healing is not Faith Healing. The term 'Faith Healing' implies that the recipient needs to believe in a deity and that that deity is the source of healing. Spiritual Healing is not linked to a particular religion. Faith by the patient is not required and healing can help people regardless of their religious beliefs.

Where does this 'energy' come from?

Healing energy is all around us. In essence it is 'universal' - part of nature itself. It is available for everyone to use for the greatest good. Healers learn to use their ability to tap into this natural energy and pass it on.

Depending upon their individual beliefs some healers and recipients see the energy as divine; others see it as pure universal energy. It is often visualised as simply 'love and light'.

Are Spiritual Healers properly trained? How are you regulated?

Our healers complete a two-year comprehensive programme of training, practise and development as Student Members before they are eligible to be considered for Healer Membership.

All of our healers are insured for the protection of the public.

All of our healers are bound by a strict Code of Conduct that sets standards for practising healers and acts as a reference for members of the public.

What does the Healing Trust do?

'The Healing Trust' is the working name of The NFSH Charitable Trust Ltd (Registered Charity No 1094702).  It is the largest Spiritual Healer membership organisation in the UK and works to promote public health by making spiritual healing a natural choice for healthcare professionals and individuals alike.

The charity provides opportunities for members of the public to receive spiritual healing through its UK Referral Service, at its Healing Centres, at Exhibitions and through NHS support services.

We develop and set standards that our members must meet and, in conjunction with other organisations, we set the standards to be met by healers in a large number of other healing organisations.  In recent years, our own training courses have been revised in line with the our commitment to raise standards for the protection of the public.

We work closely with the medical profession and support research into Spiritual Healing.

The Healing Trust was originally known as NFSH and was established during 1954/5. Harry Edwards, the most well-known and significant healer of his generation became the first NFSH member and later President of NFSH.
