I thought you might be interested to hear how I came into healing from being a complete sceptic. About 15 years ago, my uncle (a mild-mannered businessman) announced at Christmas that he was training to be a healer. We were all very surprised.
He told me about his experiences of how well healing had helped people and although I considered that this was almost certainly biased reporting, I was sufficiently interested to want to try to find out more. My uncle gave me the phone number of a healing tutor in Leeds where I lived, and I telephoned her. She told me about a healing introductory course which she was running, but I interrupted her to say that I was not interested in being a healer, I just wanted to find out more about it. She said that to do this introductory course was probably the best way and it was to start in three months’ time; however, in the meantime I could practice by sending healing, loving energy through me to plants, pets or my children. So, this is how I found myself holding out my hands in front of a cactus plant in the kitchen, feeling ridiculous, thinking, ‘I can’t believe I am doing this!’
Anyway, I forgot about healing until about two weeks before the course was due to start. I was lying in bed with a cold, wheezing, at about 3am, thinking 1 that I was going to have to get up out of bed for the third night running to get my inhaler. I was feeling so tired that I could not be bothered and so I thought, ‘I’ll give this healing lark a go!’ (My exact thoughts – I was not exactly convinced, just feeling exhausted and ill). I wasn’t really sure what to do, so I just raised my hands over my chest, as I lay in bed and asked for healing. What happened next surprised me: My fingers started to tingle; I saw a blue light in my mind’s eye and felt a band of heat around my chest. My wheezing stopped immediately. As you can imagine, I felt rather scared by what had happened and, in the morning, told my husband that he would never guess what had occurred in the night. However, when I attended the healing course, instead of sitting at the back, rolling my eyes to the ceiling, questioning everything, I listened, because I knew there was something in it and I wanted to find out more.
‘I qualified with the NFSH Healing Trust in 1998 and have continued to be a practising spiritual healer since then. My specialist interest is clearing lower vibrational energies from people and spaces and soul fragmentation retrieval. I manage the blog-site ‘Spiritual Guidance for the Soul’
My background is in nursing and research. In 2020, I co-authored a book called Vibrations of Life – A Handbook for Energetic Wellbeing, with Kathleen Judd.
