Part 1 of 3
The fact that the mechanism for healing is unknown is the main problem for its acceptance within the healthcare setting. Until a mechanism is robustly identified, healing will be derided as being merely a placebo effect, which I don’t think it is. Let me explain why: When I channel healing, I ‘see’ energies in mind’s eye. When I was giving healing to a lady who had come to the Leeds Healing Centre, I saw a black cloud of ‘negative’ energy leave the lady through the top of her head on the right-hand side. When the healing had finished, I asked the lady how she had found the session and she said that she felt good and had felt ‘something’ leave through her head during the healing, indicating the exact spot that I had 4 seen this occur. Another healer, who had been watching, heard what the lady was saying to me and she told us that she too had seen the black cloud come out of the lady at that place on her head. Thus three people, separately, seem to have sensed the same energy.
Laboratory experiments have been conducted to explore the mechanism of healing. These findings support the notion that energy is coming in and being channelled by the healer. Electro-magnetic experiments show ‘extraordinarily large’ low frequency magnetic fields measured from hands ofhealers1-2 which are not derived from healers' internal body currents alone. They are low frequencies, in the same range as used in some electrotherapy to aid tissue healing.3
Electro-encephalograms have demonstrated increased alpha brain waves in the healer and during the healing session it has been found that the patient’s brain waves change to synchronise with that of the healer.4-5Indeed, many studies have shown EEG interconnectivity between two individuals at a distance. Whatever the healer is doing, this seems to be transmitted to the patient.
Distant Intentional Connection experiment using Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) seems to support the notion of distanthealing:5
• Distant Intention is defined as ‘sending thoughts at a distance’
• Distant Intention healing was sent at random 2 minute intervals unknown to recipient (in sensory isolation from the healer)
• Highly statistically significant differences between send and control (no send) in activation of certain brain functioning in recipient
Thus, there seems to be evidence of an energetic connection between individuals (healer and recipient). But how does it work?

‘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.’
