Trance Healing
Personal Background
In November of 2004 Bev and I were traveling to England to conduct a workshop at the Bolton Spiritualist Church and while planning the trip we were drawn to the Arthur Findlay College at Stansted, Essex in the hopes of finding a educational opportunity to enhance our capabilities. We have always been fascinated with the process of trance and, since I lecture frequently, I was drawn to a Trance Speaking course and, since Bev is a contact healing medium, we also booked a Trance Healing course organized by SNU Minister Steven Upton. Little were we to know that this decision would be a life altering moment for us, leading us into a life of trance healing or more accurately Spirit Healing for healing energies from God through the love of Spirit are the true agents in this process. Trance in itself achieves nothing; it is only a way of establishing a level of attunement with our colleagues in the Spirit World.
Minister Steven Upton
Steven Upton is a Minister of the Spiritualist National Union in Great Britain and has been a practioner of healing mediumship since 1977 with a widespread reputation in the UK and Europe,(www.s-upton.com). In 1995 whilst teaching at the Arthur Findlay College an event took place that completely changed the direction in which his mediumship was developing, or in his own words "stagnating". He was asked to do a demonstration of trance healing. When stating that he did not do trance healing, he was told by the course organiser, Judith Seaman MSNU, that he did trance and he did healing, so put the two together and do trance healing. That demonstration has become what Steven refers to as a "life changing event". Over the years since then, he has become a leading exponent and teacher of trance healing and is the person we look to for our continuing process of education both at the Arthur Findlay College (www.arthurfindlaycollege.org) and the new educational and publishing venture developed by Steven and his wife Stella, Spiritual Developments Unlimited. We encourage anyone who has a serious interest in healing or other forms of mediumship to investigate these opportunities.
The Process of Trance Healing
Trance healing involves three components: Spirit, a medium and a patient. It is a very natural process which can affect the human form on many levels; physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
The premise of this process is that when invited to do so, the force of God's love and the healing power of Spirit can flow through the mind and aura of one individual to that of another and provide specific healing energies. The human brain is a physical vessel which houses the mind and within it there are three levels of consciousness: the conscious mind, the sub conscious and super conscious If we can abandon our conscious mind we leave space for Spirit and the Divine Force of God's love to blend with us and direct this healing power to another individual. It is a very simple process for all we do as healing mediums is achieve a level of attunement with Spirit and supply the mind for this to take place; it is a form of mental mediumship, no physical contact is necessary. Quite naturally, as with all forms of mediumship, the relationship between the medium and the Spirit intermediaries can have a direct and proportionate influence on the effectiveness of the process.
There are no guarantees nor claims to a cure for any condition; all human conditions are subject to the forces of Natural Law, however there have been some interesting results reported by a wide variety of treated patients, see two such reports below. Spirit Healing is not a substitute for traditional medical practices; it is complimentary process which attempts to address the causes of a problem rather than the symptoms.
"I saw my consultant late on Friday and was advised that the latest special scan showed that the tumour has shrunk,they have said it has become a fatty lump only and is no longer a threat, many many thanks for all your help, particularly as the Doctors were writing me off!" R.H.
“I had a call from ……………..who you were kind enough to give a healing session to when you were here. She had been to the hospital yesterday for her follow - up examination……… they told her that the results were a bit baffling, as they were all negative, she required no further treatment, and no chemotherapy!”
