Sonia Reid - Professional Coaching and Healing

 

Building rapport and an understanding of how any healer works is more likely to be successful, face to face on the first session but after that, there is no reason why distant healing could not be successfully used as part of a programme, planned by you at the first session. So for this reason, the service is only available after one face to face session

If anything proves to me that the power of thought and intent creates change, it is distant healing. As far as I’m concerned, it’s pure magic!

There have been many studies over the past 30 years, proving the beneficial effects of distant healing on people, animals and plants and theories about how it might work. In this article, I would like to share some of my own clients’ experiences of distant healing and my thoughts about how it might work.

Because of the diversity of approaches to healing, the act of healing from a distance varies widely. Some might call it prayer whilst others call it the power of intent i.e. just focussing on another with the intention of bringing about a beneficial change.

My normal practice is to ask my clients to prepare themselves and their rooms in advance, as if it were a face to face session. A session starts with a brief chat on the telephone. We then put the phone down whilst I work and then call each other back after around 25 minutes to discuss the effects.

Of course this hasn’t stopped me from randomly sending healing thoughts to any person in need of healing, who might come to mind in between but the result is much harder to measure.

The following 5 examples show the kinds of responses clients have had to distant healing.

Client A: A client in severe back pain reported a sense that her bones and muscles had finely adjusted and re-arranged themselves during the session, which gave her far greater freedom of movement. She also felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen, which she described ‘like a thin thread of metal’ being pulled out of her womb. This reminded her of a previous gynaecological condition, which made her quite tearful. She later decided to consult her GP in case the back pain was related and also to spend some time exploring the sadness she hadn’t realised she was still hanging onto. This case gives an example of how healing can affect not only the physical level but also the mental and emotional levels, even when administered from a distance.

Client B: A diabetic, had a painful skin complaint, which suddenly appeared on her legs. On both occasions that distant healing was requested she benefited from instant relief from the soreness and burning sensation she was experiencing. In addition she reported an improvement in the condition during the following weeks saying that previously it had been extremely painful to put pressure on her feet but that now she could walk quite normally.

Client C: A client who’s relationship had finally broken down irretrievably, was also experiencing a growing pain at the top of her breast bone. I offered a distant healing session. She had an errand to make first and we agreed I would start the session when she called me on her return. I did not hear from her for some time so began sending out my intentions as I continued with what I was doing. Assuming that we must have misunderstood each other, I called her to start the session. She had been out, was now much more philosophical about moving on from her relationship and the pain had disappeared. ‘Well that’s great but I haven’t actually started yet!’ I said

Client D: Client D had identified the need for a greater work/life balance during a previous Life Goal session and we agreed on a course of 6 distant healing sessions On the first occasion, I had a cassette tape on, which I had forgotten to rewind. As I was in a relaxed, focussed state, I jumped when it switched itself off.

Immediately after the session, the client reported that she had been deeply relaxed until her dog barked, which made her jump! We compared the estimated times of these occurrences and found them to be similar. The benefits described by this client were largely about new ways of thinking. Ideas about how to fit in more downtime would come to her during sessions or just after and gradually she was able to free up more time for family and friends.

Client E: A regular client of mine had been wrongly accused of assaulting someone during the time that I knew him. He had spent over a year preparing evidence to back up his case and his solicitor was not as encouraging as he would have hoped. The night before he was due in court, he rang me to say that his case papers had mysteriously gone missing and asked me for absent healing to help him get through the next day. The next time I saw him, he was both baffled and excited. Apparently, he had arrived in court, taken his place in the box and the case had been dismissed with no explanation from the court or his solicitor. I continued to see him for a few more weeks but the reason why was never established.
 

I was recently pondering on events such as these, where no rational explanation can be found, when I received an email that switched me into ‘Spiritual Detective’ mode.

I was convinced the answer had to lie in consciousness and the end of the trail led to this Youtube clip of Professor John Hagelin Theoretical Physicist with a doctorate in Consciousness, speaking on the Superstring Unified Field Theory.

                                                            

Consciousness has been explained from the perspectives of a variety of different disciplines e.g psychology, neurology, biology, philosophy as well as physics and no doubt others. If you look it up in a dictionary, you will find words and phrases like, ‘awareness; perception; the totality of a person’s thoughts’.

Some physicists believe String Theory may unify all the laws and forces of nature both at the microscopic level of energy and the macroscopic level of matter. Dr John Hagelin is one such Physicist and in the clip he explains the relationship between Unified Field Theories and the Unified Field of Consciousness.

I don’t propose to summarise the interview here, do watch the clip if the subject fascinates you as much as it fascinates me. But essentially, the points that interested me were his description of ‘one single field of intelligence’ that permeates everything, i.e. you, me, the gate post and the space between etc, which he referred to as Universal Consciousness and described as ‘an ocean of possibilities.’

If Consciousness is, ‘the totality of a person’s thoughts’ then Universal Consciousness is the totality of all thoughts and this flows through us all.

This would allow for the possibility that a thought, focussed on the intent of bringing about a beneficial change in another part of the whole connected by this universal consciousness, can travel through this ‘ocean of possibilities’ to its intended target and create effects at the energy and matter levels of that target, as can be seen from the above examples.
