Many healing channels work with Spirit guides and companions. Some work with the aura, with the chakras, and with color. So long as the healing channel understands what he or she is working with, in conjunction with basic spiritual healing, it can all work together, as a harmonious and whole healing experience. Prayer represents a means whereby we talk with God and express our wishes to God. In healing, prayer becomes important, in that it acknowledges that there is a power, beyond the self, at work.
Prayer helps focus the healing work.
The real power of prayer lies in the faith behind the prayer. When we pray for healing, we should present our healing requests to God and, then, allow God to respond to the needs of the individual. Very often, spiritual healers tend to tell God what THEY want to see happen, rather than allow God to manifest what He knows the individual needs to have happen. Finally, prayer must always be complemented with meditation. An Informative Three-Part Series on Color, Healing, and the Human Aura by Rev. Simeon Stefanidakis.
