Dear Mrs. Faith Simon,

 

Thank you for your inquiry about Spiritual Healing.  I understand with your being new to this type of modality, that you would have questions.  It is my hope that by the time you are done reading this that your questions are answered and you will be able to make an educated decision if this is something that resonates with you.

 

Spiritual Healing is commonly misunderstood in the sense that the receiver must have a strong belief in G-d or a higher power.  In Spiritual Healing, the Healer works with the Infinite Source no matter what that is called.  The healer is not the one that does the healing, but he or she uses the energy in your body and through the Infinite Source aids your body in healing itself.  There is no demonic practices or use of that kind of negative energy.

 

During your Healing session, you will experience relaxation, warmth and some people experience tingling in areas of their body.  There is no pain associated with this type of healing.  At the beginning of your session you will be asked for a complete medical history and also what your desires are for your session.

 

You will lie on a massage table, fully clothed, and if you are cold, a warm blanket will be placed over you as well as a bolster under your knees if you experience discomfort while lying on your back.  The Healer will scan your body using their eyes and hands.  Their hands can range from several feet away from your body to about 5" off of your body.

 

Once this is done, the Healer will focus on areas of your body where he or she feels dis-ease or dis-harmony and either lay hands on that area or hold their hands a few inches from your body. 

 

The beautiful thing about Spiritual Healing is that you do not have to follow any system of belief.  The one thing that would benefit you is to have a desire for healing and faith in your body's ability to heal itself.

 

The room where Spiritual Healing takes place may vary from Healer to Healer.  With that said, for my practice specifically, I have soft lighting, quiet music and candles.  Due to the fact that some people are sensitive to scents, I do not use incense.  However, if the client is agreeable there are times that I burn a bit of sage at the end of the session.  It is used in many cultures as a way to clear out negative energy and invite in healing.

 

It would be my wish to say yes I guarantee a cure.  It would not be responsible of me to say that to you.  I do know at the very least you will leave your session feeling more relaxed.  Some of the things you may experience are lessened side effects from the treatments you are receiving, a sense of peace as well as reduced or no signs of pain that you may have been experiencing.  These are just a few things that you may feel.  Ultimately it is up to your body.

 

I will stress to you that Spiritual Healing works along side your traditional treatments and at no time would I encourage you to stop your treatments or medication unless directed so by your health care professional.

 

The initial session is approximately 75 minutes in duration and the cost is $100.00. The follow up sessions are 30 - 45 minutes in duration and are priced at $70.00 per session.  I do extend a reduced rate when there is a financial hardship.  This is something we may discuss further prior to you making your first appointment.

 

I understand your feelings of desperation and the sense of urgency.  It is my goal to help you work through those feelings and have a sense of control over you body and your care.  I hope that I was able to resolve any of your questions and of course if you still have any other questions, please feel free to contact me.

 

I look forward to working with you.

 

Sincerely,

 

Rev. Kelly Lefcourt

Healing Practices in The United States

 

It is our Native American Indians that were first to practice Healing in the United States.  I would like to focus on The Cherokee Culture, as they are my decedents.  Cherokee medicine called NYWOTI is an ancient practice combining healing & spiritual knowledge that were developed over 4,00 years ago. It takes 15 – 20 years of apprenticeship (TSILA) to learn Cherokee medicine and the apprentice (tsila) needs to master seven areas of expertise.

 

They must be well versed in Herbal Medicine, Physical Medicine, Dreamwork, Language/Myths/Laws, Ceremonies, The Law of Nature and Conjuring. The use of herbs is only one tool of many used for healing. The Cherokee believed and still do believe that it is crucial to not only heal the body, mind and spirit, but to have the person with dis-ease commune with the family, the community and the Earth. This is a holistic approach used for centuries. It is important to good health to realize that we are part of one great source.

 

The Sweat Lodge is also another way that allows the person with dis-ease or dis-harmony in the mind/body/spirit to experience healing.  Traditionally the Healers construct near water.   Using various woods, herbs (Ginseng) and tobacco the Healers build a fire and place seven (7) rocks in it until they are red-hot.  The rocks are placed in the center of the sweat lodge and invite the community in.  They pour water on the rocks, sing songs and pray for the ill to get better.  Once they are finished they go to the water and bathe.

 

The Native American Indians also watch the animals to see what they ate or did when they were not well.  The Bear was a great teacher in learning what to use from nature.  When an animal was ill, they laid down on Mother Earth to feel better.  We all go back to Mother Earth for nurturing.

 

It has been shown that the first pharmaceuticals that were made by the pioneers in The United States were originated from the Native American Indians.  The Pharmaceutical industry grew out of the use of the medical healing plants. Over 200 medical drugs and there source can be linked back to Native Americans for their use of healing plants.  One of many is Aspirin.  It is found in the bark and leaves of the Willow tree, which was sometimes called "The Toothache Tree".

 

The variety of medicinal herbs in Western North Carolina is over 600 varieties that were and still are used by The Cherokee people.  Many Herbalists and Physicians underused or misused the botanical material and have since limited the varieties they use.  Traditional Medicine Men & Women today use these practices honoring their ancestors and knowing that they are helpful even in modern times.
