With the growing popularity of complementary and holistic approaches to health care, the term “spiritual healer” or “spiritual healing facilitator” is becoming more widely recognized. But just what is a spiritual healing facilitator? A spiritual healing facilitator is a person who has been trained in the spiritual healing arts. This is a rather broad and undefined field, as there are many types of spiritual healing.
Spiritual healing can be used to help create a more healthy balance between body and mind, and to help alleviate harmful energies that can drain a person’s health and sense of well-being. Spiritual healing facilitators work in a variety of ways. Some offer a direct hands-on service, during which the practitioner will lay on their hands at various energy channels on the body, with the goal of redirecting or eliminating harmful energies while encouraging positive energy balance.
There are several types of this kind of healing, including Reiki massage and Kofutu healing. Spiritual healing can also occur at a distance, and many spiritual healing facilitators offer remote healing sessions. There are a number of websites available that allow a person to post a request for healing, and the practitioner will use various types of energy channeling to heal remotely. Phone consultations are also popular, and many practitioners offer special toll-free numbers or other easy means to get in contact. Rates for these services vary widely; some don’t charge a set fee, but ask for a free-will donation to help cover their costs. Others have set fees listed by the hour or by the type of session requests.
Are you interested in becoming a spiritual healing facilitator? There are a number of ways you can find the training and instruction you need to get started. The type of licensing or certification you achieve will depend on where you take your training. At this time there is no formal licensing system in the United States, so it’s up to the practitioner to develop their own sets of guidelines. Most training programs require that students have a sincere desire to help others through spiritual growth and discovery, and ask that their students demonstrate good ethics and moral fiber. But this is open to interpretation by the organization doing the training. The training itself is offered in a variety of ways.
Some spiritual training centers have on-site residential programs that are highly structured and include specific training on various components of the field. Students may study chakras, massage, healing touch, use of crystals, Kofutu, or any of a number of other disciplines. The course is generally combined with hands-on workshops to apply what you’ve learned. Other training programs can be completed at the student’s own pace, either via email or long distance learning. The program specifies certain books or resources to study, and may either offer tests or essays to verify that the student has a good comprehension of the course materials. Most training programs also include some degree of help in setting up a spiritual healing practice. Courses may include an overview of attracting clients, setting up a website, setting rates and payment policies, and other useful advice. Some offer licensing or other spiritual facilitator credentials, too, depending who is providing the training. Most of these spiritual facilitator training sessions do cost money, so be sure to know what you are getting before you sign up. Some are more reasonable than others, but might not contain the same amount of useful information or advice. Just like any other educational item, it’s important to do your homework and understand the background of the people offering the training to be sure it’s right for you.
