This guide explains in plain language what is spiritual healing, what happens in a session, what to expect and how to integrate the change within you.

What Is Spiritual Healing?
Spiritual healing is the receiving of healing energy through spiritual or energetic means. A practitioner connects with the Spirit and provides that energy to you. Call the source of the healing the Divine, Creator, God, universal consciousness or whatever name feels true to you. The term describes the source of the healing and and that it comes from something greater than any one person.
How Does Spiritual Healing Work?
I personally connect with the Creator, set my intention that this work for the health and happiness of my client and ask for guidance. I set aside my own ego, fears, insecurities and projections so that what comes through is as clear as I can make it. In that state, I am the observer of the healing as I see the energetic shifts take place. I also act as the translator between the Creator and you.
One way to describe is that after a spiritual healing session, two energies run in parallel within you. One is the healed state and secondly the state that has not yet healed. My role is to create the conditions for you to receive the healed state. When you match that frequency, you then are able to heal yourself. So I am the enabler, the Creator is the healer and you walk the path by bringing these two energies into one.
A Metaphor for How Spiritual Healing works: The Train Line
Picture a train in London that wants to reach Edinburgh. It has no direct line or is not aware of the direct line. Instead it takes the long way round through Cornwall, Birmingham and Manchester. As a figure of speech, in a session I can build the direct line for you. You still need to decide whether to take it or fall back on the long road. I make the connection and you need to choose the better way for you.
What Happens in a Spiritual Healing Session?
Every energy healing session begins with a conversation about what is happening in your life and what you would most like to work on. I may ask questions to help things open up for you. Then you get comfortable and from there I work intuitively to clear any energy blocks or limiting beliefs you may have. Each session ends with a short closing conversation.
Akashic Records readings work differently because I carry them out remotely. I identify the energy blocks and issues and send you a detailed summary with affirmations to heal them. Change is gradual, so you read the affirmations for a few weeks or a couple months and most people notice a shift around the third to fifth week.
What Does Spiritual Healing Feel Like?
Experiences of energy healing vary widely. Some people feel warmth, some feel washed in light and some feel as though someone is holding their hand or shoulders. Many describe a weight lifting from their shoulders or feeling like themselves for the first time in a long while. Tears are common and welcome. Many of us put our emotions aside to cope, and when the burden lifts, emotional healing begins because we can feel again. A heightened nervous system can come down and someone who felt low can feel more like themselves.
After an energy healing session people usually feel calmer, more present and more settled. They are often surprised by how much they were carrying and by how different they feel without it.
What Shifts in the Days That Follow
Once energy blocks and burdens are removed, the shifts often arrive quietly. Sometimes you get a clearer sense of what you want, a feeling of walking your own life path, the courage to move on and the ability to choose differently in situations that used to pull you off course.
How Long Does Spiritual Healing Take to Settle?
There is no set time for how long spiritual healing takes to settle. It depends on how ready you are, how safe the change feels to you and whether you are ready to receive it. For some people the effects are immediate. For others they need time.
For example, manifesting a dream job or a soulmate involves other people and for changes to take place in your environment. So your frequency changes first and your world follows next and that may need time depending on your synchronicity.
Need to bear in mind that, spiritual healing takes place in the highest and best way for you. A change or a shift that would not be safe for you will not take place immediately but it will take place as slowly as your system feels it is safe.
Why You Might Have Not Noticed the Change Yet
Sometimes energy blocks are healed and removed and the change has not reached your awareness yet. Common reasons include:
- The shift is subtle and sitting underneath many layers.
- Your nervous system needs more time to catch up and settle.
- Your environment does not help you relax or keeps giving you challenges.
- The change is grounded and embodied but life has not yet presented the situation that shows you can act differently.
- There are other blockages that stop you moving on or changing.
Your Role in Spiritual Healing
Your part is to want the healing, to stay open to the process, be open with me and be honest with yourself. You do not have to agree with everything that I will tell you and some scepticism is always healthy. Afterwards you integrate the lessons and you are enabled to choose differently.
My role is to apply the techniques to the best of my ability and to be as clear as possible to received the needed guidance.
One session is the start of the work, and inner healing cannot be outsourced. Each of us is responsible for our own healing, and I find that very empowering. I am here as a reminder of your natural energetic state and that you can always return to it.
How to Integrate Your Session and Support Your Inner Healing
Inner healing continues long after the session, and awareness is what holds a shift. Taking in bite-size advice from a healer or therapist is only the beginning. Noticing what has changed, and realising you can move forward, is what empowers you to act differently.
- Awareness – Awareness is what holds a shift and keeps your inner healing moving. Noticing what has changed and realising you can move forward is what empowers you to act differently.
- Grounding – Walk barefoot, take mindful walks in nature, drink plenty of water and care for your body. Avoid alcohol and heavy foods for a couple days so you can understand what the session has brought you.
- Build a Daily Practice – Journaling, meditation and breathwork quieten the mind and help you feel the shifts. A sound bath is a lovely way to sit, meditate and do something good for mind, body, spirit and emotions. Inner healing grows through small, consistent daily choices.
Mind, Body, Spirit – How Everything Is Connected
Mind, body, spirit, emotions, environment, ancestral patterns and karmic patterns are all interconnected. When we work on one, it translates into the others. I hold this as a rhombus. Spirit sits at the top corner, emotions and thoughts at the two sides and the body at the bottom, with awareness at the centre.
Energy moves in every direction, so a walk in nature can shift your spirit as much as a meditation can shift your body.
Begin Your Spiritual Healing Journey
If you have just had a session, give the change time and trust your own strength. If you are curious about one, I can assist with:
- Limiting beliefs and self-doubt: Theta Healing finds the subconscious beliefs beneath the surface and replaces them with positive ones.
- Emotional heaviness: Reiki and Chakra Cleanse release what you have held back so you can feel yourself again.
- Feeling drained by outside influences: an Aura Cleansing removes the external energies affecting you.
- Feeling lost or off your path: an Akashic Records reading uncovers your soul story, gives you clarity and offers karmic healing.
- Patterns that keep repeating: Theta Healing and Akashic Records readings work at their roots.
- A restless mind: a sound bath or a Reiki session gives you space to settle.
- Wanting change that lasts: transformational coaching guides you to integrate it step by step.
