Frequently Asked Questions:Q: What can I expect from healing? If it works why haven't I heard about it on TV? A: Healing is a subject which has been effectively censored. If the results of healing were properly publicised in upmarket broadsheets, if the work of real healers was tested scientifically, the results would be so staggering that the public would demand healers as a regular part of medical treatment. Healing is a homely, everyday, reliable miracle which can cure twenty-year-old problems of a physical�nature in ten minutes. Q: Why should I believe you?� A: Good question. I think it perfectly reasonable to approach such phenomena as healing (which has been largely excluded from proper scientific investigation) in an open-minded, yet sceptical fashion. In my case the local press has been extremely helpful and reported several successful cures of mine wherein�longstanding physical complaints disappeared in only one treatment. Q: Sounds great. How do I find a healer if I live too far from you? This is not so easy. Joining a healing organisation can be disillusioning in my experience. Some healing organisations repeat like a mantra, 'Healing doesn't cure anyone; it just makes them feel better'. Whichever healing organisation you go to you have no guarantee of meeting a real healer, though there may well be one in any organisation. In my area people frequently advertise themselves as healers on a 'wannabe' basis, while real healers remain in the backround, suddenly emerging to heal someone at a jumble sale or the village fete. Nor is it an easy matter to recognise a real healer as these individuals can be eccentric. It is an awesome moment to discover one has healing powers and some people find this just too difficult to handle and don't use their healing gift. I myself am sensitive to the vital force people emit and so I can recognise a healer or a potential healer by their delightful energy field. I'm afraid if you want to find a real healer you have to hear it on the grapevine. Q: What is vital force? A: Vital force is a bio-electric energy essential to life and the workings of the biosphere. The energy can also be used by the mind. It has been discovered by scientists such as Faraday and Wilhelm Reich, is known as Chi in China, Ki in Japan and prana in India. It can be measured scientifically but academic science likes to pretend it doesn't exist. The earth emits vital force and the energy is drawn into the healer (I can feel it rising through my feet) where it is changed into a miraculous, atom-changing power. Q: Do I have to have faith in healing to be healed? A: You certainly don't. So effectively has the subject been censored that, until I was healed myself, I thought healing was something which old ladies did in church halls and which only added a chill to whatever ailments you may already possess. In the 'Dorchester Guardian' (21st August 1996) is a story of a healing patient of mine called Wendy Steele who I met in the local Corn Exchange. She mentioned a painful knee. I said I could heal knees, she said the problem was a referred pain from her back where she'd had an operation and I thought to myself that I wouldn't be able to heal anything where they'd been surgical intervention. Wendy didn't believe I could heal her knee either as she'd already tried healing from a healing organisation and it hadn't worked. I put energy into her back and the knee was instantly cured in a few minutes. "I can honestly say I've never had another pain since," she is reported as saying in the paper. "It's like a fairy story but it really happened. Everybody laughed because I'd spent �150 on the chiropracter, and then �150 on the osteopath, then for �5 he'd done that." Thus neither patient nor healer believed the treatment would work yet the Healing Agency itself achieved a miraculous cure in a few minutes. The article on my home page from the Western Gazette, 29 May 1997 tells a similar story. Q: Should healers charge for their services? A: If they don't there won't be many healers around to heal you. Healers exist in the same material world as everyone else and, if they're not paid, only a few retired people who also happen to be healers and are also willing to give up their time will heal you. Healing can have such dramatic benefits, when all medical treatments have failed, that it should be available on an� everyday basis. Certainly the UK NHS, which is always complaining that it's under such a strain, would have a quarter of its patients healed within the week if real healers were introduced. Somehow I don't think doctors or pharmaceutical companies would welcome the loss of authority and money. Q: So I've had�a healer recommended to me. What can I expect when I go to see him/her? You can't expect good taste, exalted music, (a famous healer called Fricker used to play music hall records on his gramophone while healing), seraphic smiles as any sort of individual can be given the healing gift. (I met a Punk Rocker who was trying to come to terms with his healing powers.) Nor is any healing equipment necessary. I work with patients in a chair.� Some healing manuals make a terrific fuss about what sort of clothing or jewelry the patient must remove but as far as I am concerned the vital force will penetrate any clothing and I never bother about jewelry. I like to start at the shoulders where tension builds up to relax a patient who should feel a surge of healing energy in the form of soothing heat. A minority of patients can feel the energy as cold rather than warmth; it will still work despite the temperature difference. The healer will put his hands on the source of the trouble (which may be different from the painful area in the case of a referred pain as in Wendy Steele's knee) and you will feel a soothing heat come through his hands. The heat will cool. In my case this used to mean that the healing session is at an end. The vital force is self-regulating and will cease when the patient no longer needs it. However, in the last year, after the heat has cooled I can sometimes feel the patient's body being manipulated under my hands! This is sometimes accompanied by sharp pains as if a psychic osteopath is manipulating the spine! Q: How long will this take? A: Anything from a minute to an hour. Q: Will I then be cured? A: Not necessarily. A vital part of the healing experience is your capacity to respond to the supercharged vital force. Every one of my patients now feels the heat, except the occasional dud. With the dud patient, there is no transfer of energy, no heat felt and no improvement - and no fee. Are you the sort of person who feels atmospheres? Then you're more likely to feel the warmth and emotional content of the vital force. But there are no qualifications to being a successful healing patient. Quite often a working person who has never thought about healing in his life may be better in one treatment. Sometimes people who are drenched in self-pity or even those who loathe psychic matters might prove to be one-offers. I once met a tall sour-faced man who, upon hearing I was a healer, declared, "That must give you a chance to get your hands on the ladies." His qualifications as a psychic researcher were not enhanced when he said he would shoot anyone who was found making crop circles on his property. As I was leaving, however, he mentioned he'd damaged his knee in France. I tested the vibrations in the knee with my hands and, as I did so, could feel them change. "I think you'll find your knee's better," I suggested. "Good Lord!" he said, flexing his knee. "How on earth did you do that?" On the other hand, sometimes gentle people who believe in healing don't get healed easily. This has always puzzled me and I have a theory that the nice person might sometimes condition the unconscious mind to think of others first and that their own cure is not that important. Q: So when the heat has gone I'm cured am I? A: Not necessarily. The heat goes from the area being treated but this means the end of the session, not necessarily the end of the problem. You may need more treatments. Healing should be regarded not as a bomb which has one miraculous chance to blow up your problems but an endless water supply which can wash them away. Q: So what are my chances of getting healed if I come to you, for example? My figures are only an estimate and they are hampered by the fact that I'm Last Chance Saloon. With few exceptions people only come to me when the NHS, chiropracters�and everything else has failed. In these circumstances I would say that 10% are one-offs, 40% need three treatments, 20-30% need a long course and 20% are not healed - though, there may be side benefits, such as sleeping easier, even if the main problem remains. Q: Can I ever be healed if I'm a healing 'dud'? A: I think if you studied the subject, reconditioned your subconscious mind, did relaxation exercises, and persisted in healing sessions with a real healer, you might have a breakthrough. Q: Can healing ever make you worse? A: Never. The reason for this is that a real healer is simply a channel for the Healing Agency itself. This is a power of such transcendental wisdom and love that a a mistake is impossible. On the other hand if someone was trying to direct vital force using his own mind he could make mistakes. Q: What is this healing agency? A: You must realise that I was trained as a philosopher and believe , as Joseph Conrad put it, "What other people call cynicism I call reality." It has been the astounding discovery of a lifetime to discover that there is a transcendental sea of unconditional love, as happy healing a pig as a prince, up there. Harry Edwards believed this was God. If he's right then we have nothing to worry about ultimately. Q: What illnesses can healing cure? A: As the great British healer, Harry Edwards (whose writings I found extremely useful�when starting out), pointed out, healing cannot replace a missing bone or nerve. Just about everything, mental and physicial can be cured by healing, given individual response. Harry Edwards used to say that someone would come to his sanctuary with a frozen shoulder and he'd think, "No problem" - and the shoulder would remain frozen. And then some other patient would come in and Harry would say to himself, "This poor devil hasn't got long" - and the poor devil would be healed... I myself have tended to specialise in joint and back problems. I like the no-nonsense nature of curing a person who has fallen off a horse 10 years ago and been in pain ever since and hearing them say, "Oh, that's better." I also get the impression that a quarter of the population has lower back problems associated with the sacro-iliac joint and I heal more lower backs than anything else. As I used to be a sufferer before I discovered healing I know a bit about the subject.� Q: So healing will cure anything? A: One rule is the sooner you seek healing before a serious disease has had time to establish itself, the better are your chances of a cure. I have stopped an MS case in its tracks in those circumstances - while failing to make any impact on a long-established case. Q: Do you treat mental as well as physical complaints? A: A miraculous physical cure demonstrates the power of healing while a mental cure could be coincidence. I do run a course for mental problems. I believe that if the patient can ally himself with his or her unconscious mind and develop positive will most mental problems can be overcome. Q: So how did you become a healer? A: It was the most extraordinary event of my life. In 1991 I had been suffering from a ME-like complaint involving perpetual colds and weird energy lapses which would strike at inconvenient moments. I had been reading about healing in the fascinating writings of Max Freedom Long but had no practical knowledge of the subject. An imperious local woman, Peggy Moore, who claimed to be a healer healed the disabled wrist of my companion, Julie by aiming vital force at the wrist. After this astonishing event she was soon aiming the palm of her hand at my chest. I experienced the� most wonderful relaxing warmth, took in a deep, peaceful breath which I can remember to this day, had a nap and woke up completely free of the debilitating complaint which had lasted ten years! Even stranger events were to follow. Peggy broke her wrist and thus was in hospital when Julie fell on her healed wrist and brought back the Bible bump. After my researches, always hopeful of psychic abilities, I thought I would try to heal the wrist. And it worked! Whether I'd been a healer all my life without knowing it or whether Peggy's healing had tuned me in, I don't know. At first I believed I was controlling the healing process by thought and breathing techniques but I have learned that I am simply a channel for the Healing Agency, though I have to use my judgement as to where to place my hands and for for long. Sometimes the Healing Agency takes over a patient's treatment. I once treated a young person for what seemed like the onset of rheumatoid arthritis. A few days later the patient's spine became hot, she vomited water and the symptoms completely disappeared! And I wasn't even giving her absent healing. Q: What is absent healing? A: The vital force which is transferred through the hands can be sent anywhere in the world. Sometimes the patient will feel the� healing energy. I am stronger in person than with absent healing but I have cured backs, sent one woman into a trance and changed family fortunes over the telephone, though you don't have to be talking to someone when you send the force. Q: So how long has this healing been going on? A: I can imagine a situation among a tribe at the beginning of time where one member seems to be buzzing with an energy which others find atttractive and, when those in contact with this person are healed, he becomes the tribal shaman. Max Freedom Long reveals that 'primitive' people had a sophisticated knowledge of the human psyche much in advance of our own and knew how to reach the Higher Self from which healing comes. In Egyptian art you frequently see people oustretching the palms of their hands which means they are sending vital force for a healing purpose. The Greeks had a famous healing centre at Epidaurus where messages carved in stone attest to this day to the success of healing. In the 2Oth-century century there have been many highly-successful healers - none of whom have been accorded the interest that a truly objective medical science concerned with public welfare would have given them. |
