How often do I need to go for healing?
Sometimes one session will be sufficient, sometimes several may be needed. If you are experiencing healing for the first time, it may take you two or three sessions to relax into the process and enjoy the full benefit. You can always discuss progress with your healer.Do I need to be ill to receive healing?
No. Healing is often about restoring balance to your life and relationships with others, about expressing feelings, about change and the need for it. It often helps bring a sense of proportion and perspective and a greater feeling of 'feet on the ground', of regaining control, irrespective of whether you are ill or not. On the other hand, it can be especially helpful in crisis situations and with terminal illness. It can stand alone as a therapy, has no harmful side effects and works well with any other therapy. It is a process above all that helps you help yourself.Do I need faith?
No. Healers work from a wide range of philosophies and many simply see their ability as a natural resource. Nothing special is expected of the patient however, except perhaps openness to anything that happens and a degree of trust in the healer. An awareness of the need for change and the motivation to do so can also be helpful.Healing and my doctor
Healers always encourage you to remain in touch with your doctor in case your illness calls for medical intervention. Healing complements any treatment a doctor is giving you so do tell him or her that you are receiving healing and about any positive benefits you experience.
