Does Faith Healing Work?

Does Faith Healing Work?


Whether you are Christian or other, people talk about this thing called faith healing. Christians tend to call it faith healing, and others Reiki. . . and that tends to be the problem with not only faith healing, other gifts as well.

If the person with the gift is a Christian, a churchgoer, and they call their gift the right name, using it for what is considered "godly" things, like healing fellow Christians, or healing the "faithless" to show God's love to them, well that's all good and dandy. It's real, genuine, and works.

This concept probably runs through other religions too.

However, call it Reiki, let the healer be not Christian, and have them do their thing from a distance, and the Christians can see it as evil, yet it is exactly the same thing. As this is an adult site, I have the right to express my views.

It seems that there are things that don't or can't get healed. I have no idea why. I just know that sometimes there are things that perhaps have foundations in a person's environment, or similar, such as diet, that can't be changed without removing the source of the problem. Other things also, are things that people have been born with, and sometimes there is just no way, that this can be fixed with faith healing. An example might be one less toe, or a missing thumb.

I think this needs to be noted, that yes, wonderful things can be achieved, only because some things are not what we would think, they just won't be fixed. Then again, a touch of faith healing might really help as someone gets operated on in a hospital. What I mean by this, is that if people are concerned as to the negative potential of the operation, by getting together and using faith healing at the same time as the operation, the potential outcome is more likely to be positive.

It's basically using the old "mind over matter".

I think a way of explaining how faith healing can be of no assistance, using an example, is that if the part of a person's brain that controls their speech is removed in an operation, or similarly severely damaged, so that their speech control is destroyed, nothing can heal that as such. Faith healing can ease the distress a person might suffer from a condition such as this, as faith healing tends to be based on nothing but pure loving energy, however chances are it will not repair the irreparable. There is a chance that new brain cells can be stimulated to create a new kind of communication, however it is unlikely to be the same as before. This would also depend on the age of the subject involved. While I procrastinate here in order to explain to you that nothing is guaranteed, "miracles" can always happen, no matter what the religion of those asking for them.

For someone to heal from a distance, they really have to have the gift, concentrated, within themselves. There are people who do, and I suspect they have worked on me, since they worked out what I could achieve if I were myself. I cannot say how precious that is, as slowly I achieve this and that. It's taking a long time, however realistically, if I never achieved another thing besides the wonderful things that have already happened in my lifetime, it would still be wonderful. Those who have been reading my blogs since the start know what I am talking about.

These same people also know that it's not just about me. It's about a chain of people who work as a chain, each link doing a slightly different task, and the chain achieving in the end as one. Without one link in that chain, the next can't achieve it's previous potential. It can still achieve, just not in the same way.

Put any group together, who all believe that they will achieve a healing with one or a number of people, let them touch or meditate on the subject/s, and the subject/s will most likely be healed. As long as they all believe the healing will take place, it is very likely to happen. It's in the numbers, as in the power of the group. Let's face it, wherever we go, there are doubters, whatever it is. As long as there are a number who believe that the healing will happen, it's very likely to happen. Try it sometime, no matter who or what faith you are.

It's just about the concept that "faith moves mountains". The reason is because it really can, just not literally as such. It means that if you believe, as a group, that you can achieve something, your combined faith/willpower energies allow your group to achieve the desired outcome.

Now with this kind of healing, there is only one catch. As long as the subject believes they are healed, they stay healed. The instant they stop believing, or doubt, their malady can return, exactly as it was before. Again, this is not fact. Their malady can return, and in some, no matter how they think, the healing stays. It seems to depend on a lot of other factors.

The thread though, is that if the receiver believes, and another or others wish the healing, then it happens. It's that simple. It's exactly the same as a group wishing for anything. As a group, there is a good chance that provided their wish is not against the natural laws, as in the laws of nature, it can and does happen. There is another proviso, and that is the obvious one, that it cannot happen if an equal quantity of opposite desire is working against the group. The action will either be negated, or the superior group, as in superior in either numbers or willpower or both will succeed.

So how can this happen? Is there a scientific explanation? Uh, not as far as I know right at this minute. However if I share a little right now, here, about what I understand happens in faith healing, the scientists can take it a touch further, and hopefully soon find the scientific evidence that is needed.

Ask anyone around any kind of faith healers, and the general thread is that the faith healer seems to develop a "hot" energy in their hands as they use them to heal. Tap into the chinese version of things, and they talk about "chi", life force. In simplistic terms, this is the white light I have spoken about previously, your living energy, a low current electric circuit, that runs through your adrenal system. Science cannot quite explain it yet, which is why people like me keep searching for more new answers to try and allow science to explain it clearly.

I am not a genius, and just what I have said could just set a genius off, and he/she might just find the answer that we have been looking for. To me that would be wonderful.

That's what science is all about, so even if my answers are still a bit vague and sketchy, I am putting forward that yes, faith healing is possible, given the right circumstances, and yes, it can be reproduced almost anywhere at anytime, given a group, or in some cases just one person, with the right attitude.

Right now, science has not quite caught up with this theory. It is yet to be proven. Because I look at things carefully, I often find the basics, can show how it should work, without explaining the scientific theory behind it. Only once I explain it in simple terms, often the scientists are able to both explain and prove what I could not in scientific terms.

What a healer does, is move the energy around with their hands, or just focus it on the site they wish to have healed. Some have a lot of confidence, and don't have to work hard, just "wishing" and the event happens. Others don't have the same confidence, and feel the need to "work" their healing energy, thus concentrating it, so that when they feel it is strong enough, they can use it at the healing site on their subject.

This action would be similar to the way doctors "bombard" cancer cells to destroy them, only in this case, the healer "bombards" the cells in the healing site with their energy to achieve healing. Once science works out how the healing occurs, as in how the cells are bombarded with healing energy, and then what causes or if you like triggers the healing. I am so close to the answer here, and I do not have it.

Ok, healer focuses energy over cell, electric? heat? energy enters cell, and healing takes place, so the energy works like a slap on a baby's backside, or a trigger for the memory of the cell, or maybe the cell group. No I think it works on each individual cell. Umm.. . .so if the energy is electric, then maybe the cell's ionic status changes. Uh, sorry, either wasn't listening or stopped at this stage at school. If heat, then um . .ahh, warms up which agitates the um, neurons?, bits inside? or maybe the bits outside, so that the cell gets triggered to do what we might refer to as "think about the whole situation", only in cell terms, not sure how that would happen.

It's getting late. I am not sure I can achieve much more tonight. There is tomorrow, so I think it will be clever if I return.

Maybe someone else will continue this and find an answer that I can't in the meantime. With the internet, things are moving a lot faster today than they have been. If you do, please make sure you leave a reference here, so I can find what you have worked out, and read it before coming back here.

I don't get paid for this, so I can disappear anytime I like!

I will be back soon enough. . . .

I will never underestimate the power of the human mind- but I'm not real sure about faith healing. That is one of those "to each his own thing"

some times the things that comes from between my ears makes me pause for reflection
