Hear the amazing story of British healer Sandy Edwards and her mission to demonstrate that spiritual or energy healing works, not through the countless successful healings she has given over decades, but via a rigorous and large scientific research project.

The two-year study that she instigated was carried out by University of Birmingham researchers and backed by a U.K. National Lottery grant — a study that stands up to the closest scrutiny and underlines healing’s potential to improve lives and health systems, and perhaps even generate significant cost savings from patients no longer needing expensive treatments.

The results, detailed in her book Spiritual Healing in Hospitals and Clinics, were “spectacular,” according to Dr Michael Dixon, head of the Royal Medical Household and chair of the College of Medicine.

“The obvious truth from her research is that healing can provide significant benefit to a substantial number of patients…shown at a remarkable level of statistical significance,” Dr Dixon wrote in the book’s foreword.

Listen as Sandy recounts how she got into healing and was astonished to find that, despite not feeling a thing as she practiced it, she had the gift — a gift she notes that all of us share. “It’s part of being human.”

Sandy outlines the role of the other hero of the story, Dr Sukhdev Singh, a highly respected National Health Service consultant physician who was open-minded enough to notice that some of his long-suffering patients were benefiting greatly from healing.

Together, they set the course for a marathon journey that culminated in two research papers, both confirming what healers and their recipients had known for years: that energy healing works.
