Divination Before Healing?

[SmileySpirit14]

I would also agree that there is no need to perform divination as a prerequisite before healing someone.

It may well be that in and around the time of healing a physical illness may not appear to respond. This does not mean to say that the healing given, has not, and is not continuing to have a positive effect on the patient, whether this is be on an emotional, spiritual or physical level.

It is often said that the patient will have accepted the healing perhaps subconsciously even though they may appear to have rejected it at face value.

From my humble and limited experience with face to face healing - I have never seen anyone refuse an offer of healing or help. Although we all know people who appear to be suffering and in need refuse offers of healing, or even simple loving human contact like an embrace or holding of a hand (which is very healing).

It may not be appropriate to carry out hands on healing with some people as this may not be good behavior, and certainly you should ask for permission to give them healing. If any physical contact is involved you must ask the patients permission first and agree with them as to what they are comfortable with in the first place. In other words apply common sense and adhere at least to a moral code if not professional level of conduct as a healer. In addition and this is slightly off subject: the healer or sensitive may become aware of physical or other problems with their patient. This is often the case with the highly developed intuitive healers. He or she really should not offer diagnosis for good reason therefore as this has moral and legal implications. This is certainly the case in the UK and I assume so elsewhere.

It is appreciated that if you have a personal relationship with the person in need, then it may be difficult to act with detached compassion and may have your own feelings to take into account. But then it is often said 'heal the healer within'... which can be a hard bullet to bite. Take some time out to work on yourself and be resolved in building your spiritual power, emotional and physical resilience as best you can when you have time.

With distance healing one could ask for permission to offer healing. If you so wished you could send thought up to the patient or their spirit first as a gesture of respect. On the other hand it is probably worth considering that you are acting as the channel and putting yourself in a position of trust that healing will be sent... which is invariably the case. So whether you ask for permission or not may well be in some way irrelevant!

With respect to Tarot and spirit contact: tarot use does not imply spirit contact. However the tarot reader may have mediumistic ability. I respect that this is another nest of worms and probably worthy of separate debate...

Hope my little reply helps,

I'm under the impression that one should do some sort of divination before healing someone.  Such as a Tarot reading or another form to see if the healing is, well acceptable.  I've heard that not all people should be healed if the illness is for a reason; example, a learning experience.  In addition I've heard that your not supposed to heal someone whom you don't have their permission first.

Comments welcome...
