Spiritual Healing in Hospitals and Clinics

This book reveals groundbreaking research on the benefits of spiritual healing, demonstrating its positive impact on patient recovery and well-being.

In Spiritual Healing in Hospitals and Clinics, Sandy Edwards presents compelling scientific evidence that spiritual healing can significantly enhance physical, emotional, and mental health. After qualifying as a spiritual healer, she took a bold step by volunteering her services to a consultant gastroenterologist at a city hospital. By offering healing sessions alongside conventional medical treatments, she meticulously documented the effects, leading to surprising and overwhelmingly positive outcomes. This initiative, supported by the University of Birmingham and a national grant, culminated in the largest clinical research trial of spiritual healing to date.

The results of this two-year medical trial, which involved 200 chronically ill hospital patients, reveal that spiritual healing, also known as energy medicine, can effectively aid the healing process. Many patients, who had long suffered with little hope of recovery, experienced substantial improvements after just five 20-minute healing sessions. Edwards illustrates how spiritual healing can alleviate pain and distress, leading patients toward recovery, and provides intriguing evidence from case studies as well as other research projects that challenge the notion that energy healing is merely a placebo.

Through the lens of her research, Sandy Edwards showcases how spiritual healing not only improves patient outcomes but also contributes to faster recovery times, resulting in less time spent in hospitals. Spiritual Healing in Hospitals and Clinics stands as a testament to the potential of integrating spiritual practices into traditional medical frameworks, offering hope and healing to those in need.
