Introductory words about Spiritual or Energetic Healing:

In the process of spiritual or energetic healing it is not permitted to establish a diagnosis. The body´s own intelligence and the abilities of the healer as well as the integrate intelligence of the patient decide where the energetic impulses have to go to, namely where they are actually needed. Energetic healing therefore represents always “a help to help yourself” or acts as an impulse for the body to activate the self-healing forces, present in each of us. Thus energetic healing supports all forms of applied medical therapies.

If one gives one´s own energy in charity and benevolence to fellow people and performs healing through one´s hands or on a spiritual level, one should always keeping in mind not to make any healing promise. the same applies when you come to see me. In my practice I will not give you a healing promise or establish a diagnosis (please, see my legal note below).  

Legal background:

Decision of the Federal Constitutional Court on March 2, 2004 (AZ: 1 BvR 784/03) defining the characteristics of a healer: 

“Whoever activates the self-healing forces of a patient by laying on of hands and thereby does not establish a diagnosis, is not required to have a license to practise as a naturopath.”

The pre-requisites for this exemption (no license to practise) are:

The healer is obliged to point out to the client that his/her work does not substitute the activities of a doctor or naturopathic practitioner. This instruction has to be handed out to the client before (!) the session starts, or it may be stated on a poster clearly visible in the treatment room. More has not to be observed.

 

Ruling of the Federal Constitutional Court with regard to Spiritual Healing without license to practise as a naturopath / homeopath:

“Healers that practise the laying on of hands to activate the self-healing forces of their clients, are fundamentally different from the model of a doctor or practitioner. Due to this fact the regulations for alternative practitioners cannot be applied here. The same is valid for activities / modes of healing of religious nature. The reason underlying is that the healer does not establish any diagnosis. 

Permitted is a targeted treatment, if the diagnosis is from a doctor or practitioner. Therefore it is logic that a doctor or practitioner may transfer clients to a healer. For practising the healer does not have to be in his/her practice or any sort of special treatment room. She/he can exercise the work from at home. This procedure does not represent any problem for the doctor or practitioner, as she/he transfers no medical responsibility  but a pastoral care.  

Prohibited are diagnoses, such as analyses established by the application of Radionics, prescriptions of Bach flowers, essences or other means to be used as medicaments; not allowed is advertising in all forms by medical histories or letter of thanks from patients, and also the advertisements of objects with reportedly beneficial effects.  

The healer is hold responsible for the fact that the client does not take her/him for a doctor or practitioner, and that the client does not confuse spiritual healing with medical science. That is the reason why the Federal constitutional Court demands clarifying informative notes as described above.

 

Legal note:

I should like to point out that in the process of spiritual healing it is not permitted  to establish a diagnosis, and also that spiritual healing cannot replace or substitute the treatment of a doctor or alternative physician. It is rather the case that a spiritual healing session or the process of healing hands sets important impulses for the restoration of the balance between body, mind and spirit by which a holistic healing is started off. In doing so the self-healing forces of the body are stimulated and activated. Go on reading here more about the legal aspect.
