Reference….. Sample, Testing Your Alternative Healing

Sending light, drawing symbols.  Crystals. Distance healers as an alternative healing therapy.   Do they make a difference?  I guess they don’t hurt.  If however you are spending money you want to establish the money you spend is worthwhile.

There are many people around offering such services.  Because they are “spiritual” there is a natural reluctance to subject these treatments and services to critical thinking.  When I have voiced concerns in the past I was met with strong opposition with no logical argument or supportive proof.

An small but growing industry has emerged as people seek to fill the chasm that has due to dissatisfaction with churches.  Within this treatments are intuitively made up and there is much divine guidance.  Increasingly it is difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff.

I propose a simple solution.  Many years ago I worked as a laboratory technician.  The machines would constantly move from reference (or the known substance) to the sample (the unknown).  In this way we could track down mistakes easily because the results for the reference would be noticeably out.

A great way of determining whether or not a spiritual healer is worth contributing time or money to is to set criteria to measure the results by, and limit the time frame.

Don’t be vague and use something like “I feel better”.  This is too general.  Spiritual healers more than any others are difficult to pin down when it comes to results.

I felt something” is a better measure.  Other indicators, such as symbolic dreams are excellent.  If you do want to remember your dreams a combination of B6 and Zinc may be helpful.*  Sometimes we are advised to look for symbols.  This isn’t the best method because we tend to see symbols anywhere if we are actively looking for them.

Serendipity is an awesome experience but one that should be allowed rather than sort out, shouldn’t it?  It wouldn’t be as magical if we go behind the scenes to manipulate the trick.

Ideally alternative healing and spiritual healing should lift our spirits more than our pocket book.
