Spiritual Healing
Spiritual healing is a healing philosophy incorporating the concept of spiritual energy as a healing force which uses prayer, meditation, individual or group spiritual resources and other methods of focusing thought energy.
The purpose is to heal the 'spirit' or that part of an individual that is more than the mind and makes them unique. Spiritual healing can be part of a larger religious practice or it can be achieved through individual counseling, or sometimes by something as simple as a vacation.
A 'broken spirit' can result from emotional trauma and may need professional mental health assistance, but often spiritual healing is achieved through prayer, meditation, and a good support network.
Using this philosophy, a strong spirit can contribute to a healthy body. Sometimes a 'broken spirit' can manifest unhealthy physical and mental symptoms. A spiritual healing practitioner can help a client address the root cause of an ailment while a medical or other health professional addresses the physical or mental issues.
