Every Healing is a Planned Act
- Harry Edwards (Canadian Spiritual Healers Association Established 1961)

From the time that man put three sticks together to make a shelter he has gradually added to his knowledge of construction - so it is that the designers of our finest buildings and bridges etc, owe something to primitive man. Nothing should stand still, we always look ahead. It is the same with spiritual healing.

We have learned that spiritual healing is not an act of spirit magic - it is a spirit science, and there is nothing automatic about it. Every healing is a planned act, needing an individual diagnosis and particularized treatment.
    
In the past, healers were content to clear disease though a technique of passes. Healing took place because the passes were an expression of the intention. Today, we know that the action of the hands is not the act of healing. This is amply illustrated by considering the diversity of disease that healing overcomes. Consider the difference between dispersing a cataract, adjusting the heart action to heal a blue baby, the break-up of the chemical formations that cement a joint with arthritis, or the balancing of mental obsession. Obviously, different characterized forms of healing energies are needed for each condition, and this includes mental healing, for thought influences are a form of energy too.

The unquestionable results that follow absent healing, in which it is found that this method of healing can be just as effective as contact healing -in some case more so- give cause for much intelligent speculation.
So far, healership has mainly been the passive use of the human instrument, employing his gift of healing, which is a faculty of attunement with spirit doctors, for the healing energies to flow through him to the sick one. I predict the future will have a different story to tell. The healer will become a conscious collaborator with the healing intelligence.
    
We know that man is body, mind and spirit. We are learning more about each of these three components. Man has a brain, a wonderful recording mechanism, but in addition to the mind and brain he also possesses a number of bodily intelligences, which act independently yet in close liaison with his mind and spirit. This is proved by the glandular control of cells of every one of the billions of cells of which our bodies are comprised, the rate of reproduction of the cells controlled through the glandular systems. The influence of the human personality is received by the genes within the nucleus of the cell. Intelligence can only be received by intelligence; thus there must be a linking-up between the mind and spirit with the intelligence within the cells.
    
Consider again the intricate organization that comes into play with the healing of a wound. The instruction given to the blood; to lower the blood pressure, to accelerate clotting, to direct reinforcements of white cells to cleanse the wound, the flow of the platelets to bridge over the wound, to close the glands and capillaries to bacterial invasion, these are only a very few of the organized processes involved in the healing. The full story supersedes in control, detail and planning that which is required for the building of a sky-scraper. This intelligent organization is not the responsibility of either the brain or the mind.

So it is, through spiritual healing we are learning more and more about the body and its intelligences. These intelligences are used in spirit healing. They are receptive to instruction and in spiritual healing through spirit, from the mind to the body, directives are given to bring about chemical changes, to give stimulation and energy nutrients needed to overcome the cause and ill effects of disease.

As the gift of healership advances, through closer affinity between the healer's total self with that of the patient, so the healer will become intuitively knowledgeable of the healing potentials, and thereby become a more conscious collaborator with the healing processes.

Let me illustrate this in a simple healing act. A person has rheumatism or fibrosis, arthritis, etc, in which unwanted chemical substances are deposited in the tissues. The healer knows the areas in which there are deposits, because of the painful effects. In a condition of affinity with the patient, he directs to the patient's bodily intelligence the instruction to activate the scavenging white cells in the affected part to carry away the adhesions, thus the bodily intelligence will get busy in that way. I know that the act of healing of these troubles is far more complicated than this, but this is a very simple illustration to indicate my meaning.

When the primary cause of sickness lies in frustrations, etc, the usage of the healer's mind by the spirit doctors can become consciously known by the healer in transmitting corrective thought influencing to the patient to overcome the particular frustration, and in this the healer will become a conscious collaborator with the healing intention. - CSHA reproduced with kind permission from Harry Edwards for CSHA use only, copyright protected.
