The British Alliance of Healing Associations
Founded in 1960
OBJECT
The object of the Association is to serve the public good by the due promotion of the study and practice of the art and science of spiritual healing in Warwickshire and the surrounding districts.
Definition Spiritualists define Spiritual healing as a form of healing by the use of forces and energies from the world of Spirit, channelled through the healer by the laying on of hands on or near the body, or prayer or direction of thought from a distance.
​
To put it simply; it is the transfer, via the healer, of the natural energy within the universe.
​
What is it purpose? The purpose of healing goes beyond securing physical improvement. Its aim is to bring into harmony your spirit, mind and body, so that you may lead a full, healthy and happy life, and possess a deeper awareness of God’s love.
How Do Healers Work? Healers are mediums who have developed the ability to link with the energy and channel it to you.
This is a simple and gentle process. Healers will usually begin either by sitting in front of you and briefly holding your hands or by standing behind you and gently placing their hands upon your shoulders. Such methods of initial contact assist the healer to attune with you and the source of the healing energy. Once attuned they may place their hands on or a short distance away from various parts of your body as and when inspired. This will probably include the area which you feel is giving you trouble. At all times he or she will be sensitive to your modesty. Touching is only with your permission and if you do not wished to be touched please tell the healer. Likewise if there is any part of the body that is sensitive to touch or you feel uncomfortable being touched then please advise the healer.
During the healing session you may feel a sensation of heat or cold emanating from the healers hands, you may feel a slight tingling or trembling or you may have non of these but the healing will still be taking place. You are likely to experience a feeling of peace and calm enveloping you as the treatment progresses.

Methods of Spiritual Healing
​
CONTACT HEALING Where the healer seeks permission to place his/her hands on the patient, while ensuring there is no cause for embarrassment.
​
NEAR TO THE BODY
The healer does not actually touch your body but administers healing by placing his/her hands within three inches of the body.
​
DISTANT HEALING Healing is sent by power of thought to someone who is physically present but is not receiving contact or near to the body healing.
​
ABSENT HEALING
The patient is not physically present and healing thoughts are extended to them.
Are Client Records kept?
Our Code of Conduct and Professional Indemnity Insurance conditions demand that we do so. A brief account of your condition is recorded and progress reports are made at each subsequent visit. These Records are Confidential, are accessible only to the Healer and Client, and always kept in a safe place.
​
What Will it cost?
Most spiritualist healers and churches provide healing facilities on a freewill basis. If you need the services of an individual healer then you are advised to ask if there is a charge before making an appointment.
​
Questions
​
How can I be sure the Healer is Registered and Qualified?
Ask if they are a Member of any Healing Association Registered with BAHA. Ask to see their Current Membership Identity Card. This proof will assure you that the Healer is Fully Trained, will be working to a Mandatory Code of Conduct and will carry Third Party and Professional Indemnity Insurance Cover.
Can healing help the Terminally ill? Whilst there can be no implication that Healing can cure, pain may be alleviated and for many a sense of peace and tranquillity is experienced. The fear of death felt by some may also be dispelled. The bereaved too may find much comfort and strength from Healing.
​
What about my Doctor?​
No person, Doctor or Healer can guarantee to cure illness and our Code of Conduct forbids us to claim that a cure can be affected. Healing is not a substitute for orthodox medical treatment; it is Complementary. You should continue to consult your Doctor and we would like you to mention that you are receiving Healing. Explain that it stimulates the Natural
Self-healing Forces of the body and does not interfere with Medical Treatment. Two further elements of the Code of Conduct relate specifically to the relationship between you and your Doctor:
​
1. A Healer must always ask whether you have consulted a Doctor about your Medical Condition and formally advise you to do so if you have not.
​
2. A Healer is forbidden to Diagnose or Countermand the Advice or Medical Treatment prescribed by your Doctor.
A growing number of Doctors nowadays refer their Clients to a Healer or have them working in their practices. The NHS Client’s Charter will support you if you ask your Doctor to refer you to a Healer. You may request a Healer to visit you in Hospital.
