Beverly Rubik had a remarkable personal healing experience with the world-renowned faith healer, the late Dr. Olga Worrall, back in the 1970s. Olga placed her hands on Beverly's knees while in a trancelike state, sending energy, and her knees were spontaneously healed from chronic pain due to dance injuries. Following that, she began conducting scientific research on Olga Worrall and other spiritual and energy healers. She will tell her story as well as a few other stories of remarkable healings that have occurred in the clinic as well as the laboratory, on humans as well as animals and cell cultures. Although these data include the qualitative and depict unique and sometimes uncontrolled events, they provide insights into the mysterious real-life phenomena of healing. They are also inspirational.
These stories raise many questions, including the following: What is the power of consciousness, prayer, and/or human energy to heal? How does it work? What is the role of objects such as crystals used in healing? Is there a 'power of place" or a special role of conditioned space in healing? What can science tell us about healing, and where does it fall short? Are these stories congruent with indigenous understanding of healing, and if so, how? These stories may help healers and clinicians in their healing work, as well as stimulate new scientific research on the phenomena. Moreover, the transpersonal dimensions of healing are extraordinary and reveal the full human potential. Healing experiences are remarkably unique to each person and typically offer deep spiritual lessons for both healer and healee.
