The Importance Of Spiritual Healing

Reason for choosing this particular therapy
Spiritual healing has been criticized for many years by doctors and scientists that hold a more secular approach to treating human conditions. The reason I chose this therapy is because of the large speculation that surrounds the natural healing process that spiritual healing adopts. The importance of this therapy has been noted in the last few years and this hands on approach is growing on a global scale and “spirituality is commanding more attention as modern scientific medical theory and practice are called into question” (Health and Healing, 2011). Many people have a negative view about spiritual healing as it seems unconventional and embodied in religion, which is a touchy subject for many.

Upon meeting the therapist, Karin Ritchie, I immediately felt her warm and accepting nature in the way she greeted me.

After receiving the treatment, all the doubts Kayleigh had were removed and she had found the solution to her problems.
When asked to state what they understood of health and illness, the following answers were given:
Karin – “Health and illness originate from within the body. As long as you keep your body, mind and soul aligned, illness will be unable to exist.” What this means is that if a person constantly remains in control of their body, they will be healthy. As soon as we lose contact with ourselves, we are more susceptible to contracting illnesses.
Kayleigh – “Health is about accepting who you are and then being able to love yourself. Once we love who we are, then you are able to fully love your body and treat it with that love. We do this by nurturing it with healthy foods and sufficient exercise in order for our body to thrive and remain healthy”. “Illness is something that occurs when our body becomes vulnerable to infection. This may result from neglecting our bodies or by storing
