It seems hardly a day goes by without hearing or reading about a new, or rediscovered, "alternative" healing modality. To those considering "alternative" healing for the first time, finding the right practitioner can be confusing. Many American adults know that a Cardiologist is a heart specialist, an ENT specializes in disorders of the ear, nose, and throat, and a Dermatologist is a skin specialist, but few Americans know that a Reiki Practitioner, an Energy-Based Therapist, a Light Worker, a Shaman/ess, a Spiritual Healer, an Intuitive, a Color Therapist, and an Aromatherapist, to name but a few, specialize in Contemporary/Indigenous Vibratory Spiritual Healing (VSH).

Vibratory Spiritual Healing (VSH) is a term used to describe a variety of ancient Spiritually-based healing modalities, which utilize Vibratory Spiritual Energy (Universal Life Force Energy, Prana, Chi, Ki, etc.) and provide a pathway for opening one's perceptions to higher planes of consciousness. It is a Spiritual practice which helps one to connect more fully to the Spirit/Source of Life Energy. It is in that connectedness, that one can truly begin to know what "healing" is and how it works.

VSH Practitioners assist a person to store enough Vibratory Spiritual Energy in their body to "push out" any imbalances, which can ultimately lead to a healthier state of being. They may utilize or provide education in one or more VSH modality: "Hands-On" or "Faith" Healing, Reiki, Chakra Reading, Color, Crystals, Essential Oils, Flower Essences, Herbs and Sounds, are but a few examples of modalities used by Vibratory Spiritual Practitioner.

Although these modalities utilize Vibratory Spiritual Energy, and Do No Harm, VSH Practitioners make no medical or healing claims about any modality, nor do they diagnose, cure, treat or prescribe. Information is not meant to replace professional medical advice, or substitute any treatment which has been prescribed by a physician, psychologist or other licensed mental health worker- information is given for personal experimentation and educational purposes only.

The title a Practitioner chooses to adopt, and call them self, reflects the way the Practitioner connects with the Vibratory Spiritual Energy. Regardless of the modality used, healing is a process and may/may not happen with only one session- for some individuals, it may take a considerable amount of time and sessions to regain health/wholeness. Issues concerning diet, physical/mental health, mindset, attitude, support system, repressed memories/emotions, and/or other environmental factors may be identified by the client. Responsible Practitioners urge clients to address any and all identified issues with members of their health care team in order to improve their chances of regaining health/wholeness.

Additionally, the title a VSH Practitioner chooses to adopt often reflects how their practice is structured. The more Contemporary a Practitioner is, the more likely it is that they will have set 30 - 90 minute sessions and will charge a set fee. Someone has to pay the rent, buy the massage tables, and pay all the miscellaneous expenses that come with running an office- even those who work out of their home, have miscellaneous expenses associated with their practice.

The more Indigenous a Practitioner is, the more likely it is that they will not have time limits for their sessions. Many Indigenous Practitioners believe that it takes as long as it takes, to get the job done. Many do not charge a set fee for their services- however, an equitable exchange of energy (donation from the heart) is typically considered to be customary and is usually gratefully accepted and appreciated.

If in doubt as to what an equitable exchange of energy might be, find out what local Contemporary Practitioners charge per session, and exchange something(s) of equal value with the Indigenous VSH Practitioner. Note: it is the equitable exchange of energy that is important- it does not necessarily mean the exchange of money (Like everyone else, Indigenous Practitioners also have bills to pay, so money is good too!). If the average Contemporary Practitioner charges $50.00 per session, a $2.00 jar of pickles would not be considered equitable, UNLESS the client really believed, in their heart, that the session was only worth $2.00 Again, it is the equitable exchange of energy that is important- a donation from the heart.

To recap: Vibratory Spiritual Healing (VSH) is a term used to describe a variety of ancient Spiritually-based Healing modalities. VSH Practitioners assist a person to store enough Vibratory Spiritual Energy in their body to "push out" any imbalance, which can ultimately lead to a healthier state of being. The title a Practitioner chooses to adopt, often reflects the way the Practitioner connects with the Vibratory Spiritual Energy, and how their practice is structured.
