Healing is an ancient practice that has been used for thousands of years and is sometimes referred to as the laying on of hands. It aims to promote better health and general well-being by channelling energy through the healer to the patient. Healers may put their hands near patients or sometimes on them. Some healers also work at a distance or through prayer, although there is no need for patients to have religious beliefs to receive healing. Some healers will call themselves spiritual healers, while others prefer to say ‘hands-on’ healers or healers.
