Healing

Psychic & Spiritual Healing

Well, what is healing and how does it work?

All life force manifests in rhythmical energy frequencies. When we concentrate on conscious matters we unconsciously harness the physical level of energy to the job in hand - we not only affect our own BodyMind functions but also influence the corresponding levels of emotional and mental being in people and other forms of life about us. As we concentrate we are both transforming and channelling energies from more than one level of consciousness.

What we purpose, concentrate upon, results in a harnessing of energy working on a similar principle to the way we connect batteries. We can increase the power or pressure we output whilst still providing the same stable amount of energy -that's the 'series' example. We can increase the amount of energy we provide whilst maintaining the same output of power or pressure -that's the 'parallel' example.

What Spiritual Healers do when healing is increase the amount of energy -but not only human kind (that acts as a channel); they transform energies of a higher nature and produce it to their patients. In other words they work in parallel; sympathetically with Spiritual forces.

This power is as good as its connections. If contrary actions are introduced into the "work" a healer is doing the harmony is disordered. This principle of correspondence - is an expression of the universal "Like Attracts Like" law. Healing energy is released when levels of natural "personalised" energy, within the psyche, act together in harmonious relationship. Healing energy as such does not exist separate from the psychic spectrum but is an emission of a quality force. When a person is depleted - say physically, then the healing energy restores the weakened state by pumping in a revitalising force. The harmonised energy released by the healer is directly compatible to the weakened state - so the patient's condition is nourished as one thinks of food providing convertible energy to the body. Healing works otherwise by introducing DIFFERENT energies to forces present in the BodyMind of the patient. In this way a healer provides key to the locked door. Healing begins by effecting change at whatever level the patients BodyMind system accepts change. After each progression to better health the healing energy "loses character" until, it merges with healthy condition. The system we call BodyMind is not only the physical, mental, emotional person -it includes all levels of the unconscious and higher Self. Given the opportunity of change the BodyMind reconstructs an individual's health harmonious to the archetypal form of itself.

So you see -healers are facilitators, providers of energies customised to the uniqueness of the individual, animal, plant or place.

Healing helps restore energies; relieves stress physical, mental and emotional, and positively helps all kinds of ailments, minor or chronic.

Healing in JCPF Spiritual Healing Clinics is FREE. We are a charity and the services we provide is given by healers without charge -but somehow we must pay for the rooms we use and the equipment etc required to produce services, so if you can make a donation it is always gratefully received.

We get a buzz out of healing people and animals. If you can't come to a clinic but would like healing we can always send out absent healing to you -yes that works too!

If you would like to attend one of our healing clinics -here is a a when and where guide -:

The JCPF Phoenix Healing Clinic, Buckland Community Centre, Portsmouth

Monday's 1.00 pm - 3.30 pm
Tuesday's 11.30 am - 3.30 pm
Tuesday's 7.30 pm - 9.30 pm


The JCPF Phoenix Healing Clinic, Winton House, High Street, Petersfield

Monday's 10.30 a.m. - 12.30 p.m.

If you feel you must have contact healing but can't make the clinic sessions some healers in the charity are prepared to give private Healing sessions.

Private Healing sessions are usually half hour or less but can be recommended for one hour depending on the need of the patient. Available Healers, advised on the website, will endeavour to schedule appointments at your convenience. Fees are very reasonable and usually set to cover expenses of the visit. Patients should request costs on making an appointment. Advise the healer you contact of your health conditions -if they are of the view that another healer/therapist is better suited to meet your needs they will advise accordingly at no charge.

Healers also heal animals! Healers love working on animals -they are so responsive -often going to sleep whilst we do it! JCPF Spiritual Healing Animal Clinics are scheduled by appointments only -so do please ring and enquire. Home visits are possible -ring to arrange a private healing session from one of our healers advised here on the website.

Don't be surprised if you hear a healer say that their best patients are animals! Be they domesticated pets, farm managed or wild, animals instinctively know when Spiritual Healing is helping them and respond trustingly to the healer. The basic principles of healing animals are the same as healing people -the only difference is in the techniques used. Animals are very sensitive to environments and that plays a large part in being able to approach horses and cattle for example. The domestic cat, dog, budgie etc are less concerned at the approach of a human being. Animals will often lie down and appear to sleep when healing is given -most healers know this to be true of dogs, cats and budgies -even guinea pigs! They generally respond more quickly than people -hence being the healer's favourite patient!

If you would like healing for an animal you own -simply give us a call or send an email

Would you like to be a healer?

Spiritual healing is 'touch' healing and described variously by adherents as energy healing, faith healing, divine healing, reiki, shamanic healing and psychic healing to name but a few. The practise is as old as Man and the skill can be developed by anyone who has a sense of care and an acceptance that life and intelligence is more than the five senses would have you believe.

Welcome to the JCPF Spiritual Healing Development & Registration programme!

All that is required of a trainee healer is they have completed a JCPF introductory psychic & spiritual development course -this programme, be it a Chakra Development course or a Discover Your Psychic Self course, will have begun the process of developing your energy system by teaching you to be responsive to higher psychic & spiritual planes of consciousness and harmonising the inner and outer nature. The net result will have energised and renewed your sense of self and increased your awareness of the unseen world of our being.

Safety first is our psychic & spiritual development motto -you can be assured that as you learn the necessary psychic protective advice will be given and of course it is also inherent in the practise you will be taught.
The process of healer training following an introductory course is quite simple -you attend JCPF Healing clinics of your choice on a timescale and regularity that suits your lifestyle and develops the skills of healing 'hands on' with patients, guided to full healership by a qualified registered healer. In your own time you can study what theory is required and take the multi-choice test papers when you feel confident of achieving a pass mark.

The rudiments of healing can be learnt in a few intensive weekend courses but the development of healing skills is a much longer process, in fact healing is a non-stop learning experience that healers never tire of. None of us ever learn it all but with guidance you will achieve full healer registration within one to two years and prove to yourself that not only does healing really work but you can be confident in your ability to provide it.

Healer training has developed considerably over the years, back in the sixties when the JCPF was started it was a peer qualified process; competence levels varying significantly from organisation to organisation. Today we have a nationally recognised development and qualification programme which the JCPF is part of. You only need to have interest to be a healer for us to develop the healing ability -when you have it you won't look back, it helps your health as well as others whom you practise upon.


Send us an email. letter or pick up the phone and talk to us and we will answer all your questions.

There are no BIG figure fees

Why? It's our mission as a charity to make healing skills available to all who want to learn. Give us your commitment and we will teach the skill and provide the facility and the patients to make you a first class healer able to work anywhere and professionally if you wish, on a one-to-one basis or in group situations as you prefer.

Which of our Introductory Courses would you like to do?

'KNOW YOUR PSYCHIC SELF'

To know your psychic and spiritual self you need to be aware of consciousness present and know what is different when it changes -this course concentrates on doing just that step by careful step in a fully controlled and protected environment under the guidance of Steve Lashley, a teacher gifted with higher communication skills and BodyMind control. At the end of 10 weekly evening classes you will be able to shift consciousness, access the higher psychic mind and be aware of the Spiritual World. And this is just a start….and if you think you can do this already. Boy! Have we got news for you!

Steve may be young but as you will find out if you sign up on this course, age has nothing to do with the gift of insight and the power of intuition. We all have the attribute -we can all develop it -with us you can do just that in a safe and controlled environment. Courses are normally held on a Thursday evening.

'WHEELS OF FIRE
'

Would you be surprised to know that the body's major organs have counterparts, unseen by the normal use of our senses? No? I thought not -you've been reading the books! These 'unseen' organs are called chakras and not only influence physical well being they are gateways to higher consciousness. Tuning in and getting the benefit of this consciousness is not exactly a walk in the park -you need skilled guidance to discover your psychic & spiritual self. Your teacher over this 14 week Foundation course is Pam Ashenden with many years of practical teaching experience of chakra development. In safety and with skill seven journeys twice taken in capable and inspired hands will open you up psychically and guide you spiritually. It helps not a little that Pam is also a trained Hypnotherapist and familiar with peoples fears and phobias -under her tutelage you can be confident of entering into the deeper and more powerful self and becoming empowered by doing so. Courses are normally held on a Thursday evening.

After these introductory courses -are you inspired to take another dedicated healing course?

'THE POWER OF SPIRITUAL HEALING'

Having completed an introductory course you will be aware of the energy you have released and begun to express psychically -you may also be conscious of communicators from the World of Spirit who can be called upon to help you in your chosen pathway -if you consider Spiritual Healing is on that path, this course is for you. Your teacher Steve Lashley will introduce you to the methods and means of channelling healing energy, how to work with your communicators and how (most important) how to effectively communicate all this to your patients. Courses are normally held on a Monday evening.


No time for another course -but want to do something more?

'JCPF SELF HEALING WORKSHOP'

A two hour workshop that just requires you turn up with an open mind. I bet your life is busy, doing this, doing that -trying to make ends meet. Meet the next door neighbours! They are hell bent on keeping it together just like you. The quality of life is everything -isn't that what we all strive for, a positive and healthy lifestyle -success and contentment? Your teacher Pam Ashenden will show you how -and in two hours you can change your present paradigm, heal mind, body and spirit and most importantly learn to BELIEVE ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. Take control of your life! With over 30 years of healing and counselling experience Pam brings know how and a combination of skills to teach this workshop as a practising medium, healer and qualified hypnotherapist. Workshops are normally held on a Saturday.


Would like to focus on Self Healing?

'HEALING THRU' PSYCHIC ART WORKSHOP'

This workshop is about how to use art as a form of healing. Pam Ashenden, your tutor, is a psychic artist and a conventional artist. The seven wheels of energy called the chakras connect to different parts of our physical lives. Encouraging these centres of energy to work harmonically brings the mind, body and soul together -so you know where you are at and where you are going! By meditating on each chakra in turn we can release negative conditions and difficulties that relate to our lives. Using watercolours or pastels we can express that generated energy and transform it into a creative force. The process releasing pent up energies, develops a state of peace and contentment by which self-healing takes place. Paint produced on paper flows freely with no conscious design or purpose; in this way the innermost depths of being are revealed. No previous experience in art or psychic & spiritual development is necessary. All materials are provided. Workshops are normally held on a Saturday.

Getting Qualified -what it means


The JCPF is a member of the Alliance of Healing Association and by that membership a member of the UK Healers. The Alliance (AHA) is the umbrella organisation to over 40 healing organisations of various backgrounds -some organisations are religiously based, others are not and they range from John O'Groats to Lands End. We all have in common healing practises that adhere to the AHA code of conduct, which itself is a mirror of the national standards set by UK Healers.

By attaining Full Healer registration and being insured with the JCPF a member is able to apply to any other AHA organisation should you leave our area and would like to join another healing organisation closer to your new place of residence. Not essential by any means as the JCPF will maintain your membership provided you pay the fees even if you live abroad (as a UK national) and can demonstrate periodically you are still using the skills developed.


Q&A on Spiritual Healing training

Do you think you can do it? Someone in the family has the ability? Or just interested to explore the possibility?

Truth is most people have the gift of healing -if you have a strong caring nature it's almost certain you do have the ability. Is there a difference between Reiki and Spiritual Healing? Essentially no -techniques and training programmes vary but the end result is the same; healers promote natural energies to their patients in a state of higher consciousness that encourages the patient's own body and mind condition to positively respond.

I'm curious why would people want to become healers?

That's easy to answer -healers heal because they get a 'buzz' out of doing it! they also generally keep in better health because of the practise. As you probably know doing something that's meaningful for someone else makes you feel good. In this 'plastic' world of ours it's essential to get 'real' if we are to have a satisfying life.

How long would it take me to train as a Spiritual Healer?

The physical techniques to learn are very simple and can be taught quickly -learning to shift your consciousness and connect with the higher vibrational nature of the soul takes longer and of course in our present day world we must perform to healing conduct standards that meet public expectations of good practise. You can become a fully registered Spiritual Healer within two years -or you can take as long as you like to achieve the theoretical and practical training needed. Beware of adverts that say you can qualify in a matter of days or weeks! During training you will have the satisfaction of seeing patients (remember animals as well as people) getting benefit from your healing expression.

OK. Given I want to do this how do I go about it?

The JCPF provides introductory psychic & spiritual development programmes -10 to 14 weekly evening classes depending on which one you attend. These courses teach how to control and utilise your natural energies, raise and lower consciousness at your command and develop awareness of your higher nature -the root from which all spiritual healing energies will emanate. On completion you will be prepared and competent to enrol into the Spiritual Healing Training programme if you so wish. A personal tutor is assigned and hands on healing can begin in Healing clinics soon after.

I lead a busy life; I don't think I can commit to regular attendance for year or more!

No worries! The JCPF Spiritual Healing programme is designed with you in mind -you can do as little or as much as you like and you can have a choice of what healing clinics you attend. You will be issued with a JCPF Healing manual which is also a workbook used to chart your progress -it contains all the theoretical and practical knowledge you need to know, lots of self testing questions, useful diagrams, graphics, etc. Your tutor will be a fully registered healer and will practically guide you to develop your healing powers -you can discuss with them at anytime the knowledge needed to achieve Full Healer status.

Well, that sounds do-able, what exactly do I need to learn to become a Fully Registered Spiritual Healer?

It's mostly practical hands-on healing with people and animals genuinely in need of help. You will learn how to prepare yourself, the patient, shift your consciousness to link with Spirit, techniques of applying the healing, how to close down and return to normal consciousness, aftercare with patients and how to provide healing at a distance. On the theoretical side you'll need to prepare and maintain essential clinic patient documentation, know the healing standards that govern practice, learn about Mind systems (chakras and mind & body energies) and have a rudimentary knowledge of anatomy and physiology.

You mentioned self testing earlier -do I have to take exams?

No. it's not like that -the self testing questions are designed to have you feel confident you know the subjects, when you feel confident (your tutor will help on this) you can complete a self assessment at the subject level of your choice. If you don't succeed at first -try again and again! Over 90% of students achieve first time round. Practical healing skills are assessed ongoing and you will know session by session how you are doing by talking with your tutor.
That sounds great! How quickly could I achieve full healer status given I attended weekly?
If you are that keen within two years commencing the first week of your introductory course!
Quite apart from the satisfaction of a personal achievement you will be qualified to heal anywhere in the UK and in Europe wherever Spiritual Healing can be practised. As a trainee you will be insured and that insurance will continue as a full healer provided you maintain your charity membership. You will be able to heal in one-to-one situations as your qualification gives you authority to do so. Your registration via the JCPF charity is nationally recognised by the Alliance of Healing Associations (AHA) and UK Healers; this means you can apply to join other organisations that are similarly associated. Of course we would love you to work in our healing clinics -you will be encouraged to do so, some of our healers do this as well as practising professionally.

OK! One last question -this all sounds good -a strong practical training environment, personal tuition and a step by step ladder to achievement, but how much does it cost?

Hold on to your hat! I daresay you've looked around and seen the cost of courses and programmes -some of them running into three figures. Quality for quality, content for content our prices are the lowest you will find ANYWHERE! Our charity has been teaching healers for over 4 decades and ALWAYS irrespective of the advanced level of tuition provided we have kept our costs as low as possible. Your tutors and administrators don't get paid -they do it because they love doing it!

Spiritual Healing & Reiki

What's the difference between Reiki and Spiritual Healing?

Spiritual Healing otherwise known as Psychic & Spiritual Healing has been a practise for thousands of years, its practitioners believing the essence of healing energy channelled is of a spiritual order. Dr Mikao Usui, the founder of Reiki healing believed the same. The manner in which any spiritual healer by whatever healing name they practise becomes a healer is as follows: The prospective healer must have a sense of care for others, be able to shift their consciousness from the ordinary and mundane to the psychic and spiritual level and dedicate time and energy to the practise of healing.

You cannot become a healer by reading a book -it is practise that makes a healer and invariably the prospective healer learns from a person with a proven record of healing. This process of initiation varies from a do as I do approach in which the trainee follows the directions and copies the practise of their teacher to ritualistic methods of induction -and of course it can be a combination of these two approaches.

In the JCPF the process of initiation commences with the introductory psychic & spiritual development course and continues during clinic training practise until such time the tutor has evidence that the trainee is capable and able to work on their own as a healer. Initiatory steps include stimulation of the energy system, introduction and development of a relationship with Guides of the Spiritual World and tests upon theoretical knowledge that includes healing standards and conduct guidelines. Dedicated course programmes are not part of some other spiritual healing organisations and the 'ultimate product' not only may take longer to produce, the individual trainee might become able as a group healer only. The Reiki system of initiation is always carried out one to one between the trainee and the Reiki teacher ritualistically and in stages is given healing symbols that activate higher consciousness.

The practical process of training can differ widely -Reiki healing is a highly structured system of course programmes interspersed with practise development where philosophically the accent is upon the universal and emphasis is upon the natural, whereas in some spiritual healing organisations tuition is less structured and philosophically it can be much more an emphasis upon religious and psychic and spiritual teachings. In the JCPF we steer a middle course -some course programme and a much larger element of self initiated practise albeit with tutor help on hand. We don't insist upon a religious conviction but in accordance with our Spiritualist principles teach the need to invoke and develop relationships with guides of the Spirit World.

The key to successful practise of any healing method of practise is the ability of the healer to control their 'front and back door' of the human condition. Control of the 'front door' is the ability to manifest healing energies whilst being capable in the same period of being aware of the normal conscious world. Control of the 'back door' is the ability to facilitate the spiritual order of energies into the human system whilst being protected from unseen forces that can disrupt or deny the emission of healing.

In the JCPF control of these 'doors' is accomplished by developing the energy nature (both in the introductory programme and in healing practise thereafter) and initiating the trainee into the psychic nature of their mind and body system during which they learn about guides and doorkeepers, those spiritual guides of the Higher Worlds. By developing a relationship with these beings the trainee can ensure protection and facilitation of spiritual order energies whilst healing and cessation of these same energies when healing is concluded. Other methods of grounding are also taught to ensure control of the 'front door'.

When Reiki healing is effectively taught the practitioner has control over the 'front door' and relies upon the spiritual order of their initiation to protect them from unseen dangers.

Any system is ultimately the responsibility of the practitioner and problems and lack of power are always caused by the practitioner's state of 'connection' being unsafe. A good Reiki healer may not have a consciously aware relationship with denizens of the Afterlife yet may still be controlled and likewise a spiritual healer developed as described above who does not invoke the Guide relationship can be open to disruptive forces.

Initiation by symbol and initiation by opening the psychic door and developing a Guide relationship is not mutually exclusive or in conflict -the symbol promotes an abstract relationship whereas the awareness of Guides gives objective awareness via the supernormal senses. JCPF spiritual healers are expected to develop the Guide relationship whereas Reiki healers may choose not to.

In conclusion it's worth noting that Dr Mikado Usui was a Japanese Spiritualist and his methods of teaching involved a practical understanding of the human energy system. During the 20th century following Reiki introduction in the 20's a number of Reiki branches were born that adapted the understanding of different energy healing practises to the simple principled approach that Usui taught. In essence the history of Spiritual healing is no different.


The JCPF as a religious registered charity neither holds nor promotes a corporate philosophical belief -members are entitled to interpret Spiritualism in accordance with their own psychic and spiritual revelation provided such interpretation is based upon 'an acceptance of an afterlife and the ability of Man to have communication with it and recognition of a universal power beyond all'. The ethos of membership is the pursuance and practise of loving harmonic relationships with fellow Man through service in acknowledgement of the universal power of Love.

Q&A for Spiritual Healing Patients

Q & A for Spiritual Healing patients


Q. Does Spiritual Healing claim to cure?

A. No. In fact even orthodox medical practitioners shy away from making claims of a cure. Spiritual healing will help alleviate the suffering of your condition, whether it be mental, physical or of a deep soul nature.

Q. In what way could the healing help me?

A. All health complaints bring tension into the mind and body; initially healing works by dispelling that tension -then the body's own defence mechanisms are given a boost. Spiritual Healing continues to work by aiding the body and mind restore health balance.

Q. Should I also go to my doctor with my condition?

A. Spiritual Healing is a complementary therapy, which means we expect you to have consulted your doctor and there is no reason why you shouldn't tell the doctor you are connsidering having Spiritual Healing; complementary therapy is encouraged by the NHS.

Q. I'm on a course of drugs prescribed by my doctor -will they affect my getting a benefit from Spiritual Healing?

A. No. Spiritual Healers will never ask you to stop taking prescribed medication. With some drugs that have a suppressive effect upon the human systems the healing effect may take a little longer, but in any event healing will help in some way.

Q. How many sessions of healing would it be helpful for me to have?

A. That rather depends upon the kind of complaints you want help for. Minor complaints may be helped sufficiently in one session for you to say -that's better! Chronic and more serious health complaints are usually helped by having a regular session -once a week or fortnight is ideal, though some benefit will be felt if the sessions are further apart.

Q. I don't suffer from any particular health complaint but I get tired easily and it's difficult to cope with life generally. Can Spiritual healing make me stronger?

A. Healing will help restore your energy balance -why do you think healers heal? It's because they get a boost to their vitality when working. Patients get the same and when you feel more vital then life becomes much more interesting!

Q. Can I see how this works without having it myself?

A. You certainly can. Come to any JCPF Wednesday mediumship demonstration event (usually first week of the month) and just sit it -demonstrations of healing are usually given.

Q. OK. So I come to a healing clinic, how does it happen -what can I expect?

A. First a very warm welcome -we are personally interested in helping you. We will ask for a few details; name, address and nature of your problem(s) -this forms the basis of your healing record. After healing any notes made will be with your consent. At anytime the healing record can be seen by you and a copy provided if required.

Q. How does the healing take place and do I have to do anything?

A. Healing will take place either in a chair or on a healing couch if one is a available -the choice is yours. If the healer recommends the chair only it's because getting on and off a couch may not be helpful to you getting benefit from the session. At other times some healers prefer to use the chair.

Q. I understand its hands-on healing but what exactly does that mean?

A. Healers will never ask you to remove clothing, unless it's an outer coat or heavy footwear. The healer's hands may lightly touch or they may hover over the body area -they will never place their hands over private areas.

Q. What kind of reactions can I expect to have?

A. Most healers provide a healing energy that warms the area of the body they are focussing upon, however sometimes it's not and a cool like feeling can be felt. In either case it means that you are feeling the healing energies. Sometimes a vibration can be felt internally or you are aware of energy moving about your body.

Q. How long do the sessions last?

A. In a healing clinic the actual healing takes around 10 minutes, the admin bit before and after no more than 10 minutes also -but you can stay in the healing atmosphere as long as the clinic is open!

Q. If I'm unable to leave home and attend can a healer attend me at home?

A. We provide a service which includes home visits when healers are available to do it. We also will take your name and some information about your condition and carry out absent healing -yes that works too!

Q. If I want private one to one healing -can that be arranged?

A. Yes it can. On the website you will see contact information to guide your choice.

Q. Finally, what's the difference between Spiritual Healing and Reiki?

A. Thought you'd never ask! Not a lot really from a patient's point of view -the techniques of hands-on varies but in essence healing is the same. Spiritual Healers are taught and qualified to shift their consciousness when opening up for healing -Reiki healers will tell you the same. At the end of the day you are the judge on what benefit a healer gives you.
