One of the most difficult things that any Healer has to contend with is unrealistically high expectations. The very nature of how Healing Energy is delivered via the laying on of hands can lead some people to expect that miracles can be performed.

We need to look at how miracles may be defined. Miracles do occur every day in many ways:

• the creation of any new life is a miracle, bringing with it so much promise

• People recover from illnesses they were not expected to recover from

• People have narrow escapes from, or sometimes in, accidents that could have ended their earthly lives

• new growth occurs where previously there was desert

• understanding is reached where war had looked to be a certainty

These are just a few examples of every day miracles and if you care to give it some thought you will doubtless be able to come up with many more.

Do miracles occur when a Healer lays hands on someone in need? If someone has healing and then makes a recovery is that a miracle? Only in the same way that someone making a recovery who is under the sole care of orthodox medicine can be said to have received a miracle. Without the dedication and thirst for knowledge of Scientists and Doctors, the research into disease and many modern treatments would never have been developed and many more people would return home to Spirit much earlier than they do now.

Healing, as has already been said, is intended to be complementary to orthodox medicine and a combination of the two is the desired way forward.

It is not unusual for a patient to consult a Healer when they feel that they have exhausted all other possibilities and have nothing to lose by giving healing a try. Sometimes, over a period of time, Healing can make a difference to that patient and this can lead to that difference being attributed to a miracle - Healing has worked where orthodox medicine failed. The truth is that it is usually a combination of the two that has made the difference.

A Healer should never make claims to be able to perform miracles and Spirit never do. There are times when the illness has taken the breakdown of the body to a point where it is not possible to reverse the damage, but it does not mean that Healing will not help. Sometimes, healing energy can slow or even halt the progress of a condition and it will usually make the patient feel more comfortable and relieve pain. It will never do harm and for this reason Spirit will always welcome the opportunity to do whatever they can. Even where it is not possible for Spirit to prolong a person's earthly life it is possible to make the end of that earthly life more comfortable and dignified and the passing back to Spirit easier than it would otherwise be.
