National Federation Of Spiritual Healers

With the increasing popularity of spiritual healing in the United Kingdom, the National Federation of Spiritual Healers has seen a recent upswing in members and general interest, especially via the Internet. Founded in the mid-1950s, the National Federation of Spiritual Healers, or NFSH, is a non-profit organization that currently has more than 5,000 registered members.

The NFSH offers a range of services to its members, including a training program that is offered by locally in the UK, as well as overseas in Australia, Poland, Japan, New Zealand, Germany, the United States, Switzerland and Canada. The website, at www.nfsh.org.uk, offers links to help you find a training session in your area and your language.

The Healer Training program offered by the NFSH is open to anyone who is interested in becoming a spiritual healer. There are four separate parts to the Foundation Course, which is held on private estate in Camberely, Surrey. The facilities include a dining hall and residence, where students can relax and enjoy the wooded surroundings while they learn about the healing arts.

If you can't attend the Surrey residential course, the website offers links to a number of spiritual healers that offer private instruction or seminars, in several regions of the UK and throughout other countries. All of their tutors are certified and licensed, so you are assured that the training will be of the highest standard.

In addition to its training courses, the National Federation of Spiritual Healers also operates more than 50 volunteer-staffed healing centers. The website also includes searchable database of spiritual healers in the UK and throughout the world.

There are several levels of membership in the National Federation of Spiritual Healers. The Friend level is for people with an interest in the healing arts, but who are not necessarily practitioner. An Associate membership is available for health care practitioners who are interested in exploring complementary healing therapies. A Probationer membership is the appropriate level for a practitioner who is still in training. Healer membership is reserved for those spiritual healers who have fulfilled the necessary requirements to be certified to NFSH's standards or practice. For those who live outside the UK, a Global membership is also offered.

Membership prices range from £20.00 - £46.00, depending on the level requested. Membership packets are available by contacting the number on their website.
If you are interested in finding gifts, supplies and resource materials related to spiritual healing, the NFSH gift shop might be of interest. The shop offers subscriptions to "Healing Today" magazine, which is available for delivery in the UK and abroad. There is also a selection of musical CDs, and a new line of gifts is expected to be available soon.

While the site offers links to help you find a healer in your area, distant healing is also possible through the National Federation of Spiritual Healers. Each week, a number of NFSH member healers join forces to help heal people who have registered for that week's session. There is an easy form on the site that makes it simple to sign up for this process, and there is no limitation on how far away you are. While there is no charge for this service, the organization does glad accept donations to help defray costs and maintain their level of services.

The NFSH also offers a referral service for medical offices and hospitals that are looking to hire a healer to work on their staff. This growing trend in adding a spiritual component to the health care facility is seen as a positive thing by many doctors and health care providers, and the National Federation of Spiritual Healers helps make these connections possible.
