Become Spiritual Healer

You may be aware of the growing popularity of the spiritual healing movement, both in the United States and around the world. An increasing number of people are turning to spiritual healing not just as a form of healing for themselves and their loved ones, but as a valid career option. But before you can launch out on your own as a spiritual healer, you should make sure you are trained in the specific methods you will choose to practice.

There are a number of ways to access training in spiritual healing. There are local schools near most mid- to large-size cities, as well as spiritual centers. And with the Internet, it is even possible to learn long-distance. Courses range from introductory sessions for people who are interested in just learning a bit about the field, to intensive training workshops designed to offer professional certification in the field.

Take a look at some of the alternatives available for training in spiritual healing. To earn an advanced degree in metaphysics, consider the online study programs from the University of Metaphysical Sciences in Arcata, California. Graduates can study for their Bachelor or Masters degree at their own pace, via mail or online. Candidates for a Ph.D or Doctor of Divinity degree work with instructors and the University of Metaphysical Sciences in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The UMS is a non-profit organization, and offers several program options depending on your career goals and your spiritual aspirations. Courses include Communication and Problem Solving, Hypnosis, Aura Viewing, Native American Traditions, Trauma and Recovery, Reiki, Yoga and many other topics, and students have a number of elective courses available to them as well.

Self-Healing Expressions offers a number of options for people looking to learn about spiritual healing at their own pace and according to their own interest level. They offer several choices as you being our journey as a healer.   Topics include healing through Reiki massage; an overview of the mysticism of Jesus and his healing works; using dreams for healing; and learning how to handle the stress of everyday life. There are special offers available if you sign up with a friend, and the company also offers discounts and other special offers from time to time. 

Modern technology has made it possible to learn from afar, and the instructors at New Spirit Services take full advantage of this to reach out to their students. The company offers a series of five weekend sessions, with a focus on alternative and complementary therapies like identity therapy, recall therapy, clearing therapy, intermediate spiritual healing, and a certification level course in healing.

The College of Light is another option for people looking to learn more about chakras and aura healing. The healing center offers two separate courses that can be combined to offer a comprehensive look at the use of aura viewing and chakra energy to effect spiritual healing. The workshops are held at the College of Light in London, UK, and are held over a half-day session. Other workshops available include medium and channeling methods, tarot, and psychic readings. While they do not offer an online learning option, The College of Light makes an interesting destination for anyone who wants to learn while visiting London. You can find healing courses nearly anywhere in the world, including a number of courses based in Australia. Before registering for any course, be sure to research the instructor and the organization holding the training, to be sure that they have the requisite background and certification to provide a thorough and useful training.

Certification and licensing requirements vary widely, and the requirements change depending on the country in which the training is offered. Most legitimate instructors will be happy to provide references, and many even offer testimonials on their websites. Do a little homework, to be sure that your educational experience is everything that it should be.
