The\u00a0following week she told me she had come off painkillers (with her doctor\u2019s\u00a0consent, I hope). She came for a few more weeks, then stopped coming and\u00a0has not been since. Hopefully, still without pain.<\/li>\n<li>At another Centre a man was suffering severe pain after a road traffic\u00a0accident. The week after he received healing he reported he had likewise come\u00a0off painkillers. After a couple more weeks he disappeared for about a year and<br \/>\nthen came back saying that the pain had returned and that the only thing that\u00a0had worked was the healing. He disappeared again after one session and has\u00a0not been seen since.<\/li>\n<li>At the same Centre a woman who had been coming for a couple of months\u00a0said she had realized she had not had one of her previously frequent migraine\u00a0attacks since receiving healing.<\/li>\n<li>At the first Centre two men suffering from schizophrenia who had come\u00a0together and attended for several months reported that they had noticed a\u00a0reduction in their anxiety levels which their illness had caused. Stress is\u00a0frequently alleviated , whatever the cause, and is frequently given as the\u00a0reason for seeking healing.<\/li>\n<li>At both centres severely depressed elderly ladies responded well to healing.\u00a0One in particular looked as if she could have dementia, but after one session\u00a0she smiled as she returned to her son. A few weeks later she was sitting\u00a0chatting in a group of the other patients. The other lady was brought by a carer\u00a0and attended for a couple of months also responded well.<\/li>\n<li>Several other depressed patients reported feeling \u2018uplifted\u2019 for the week\u00a0after healing.<\/li>\n<li>A patient was brought by a friend to the writer\u2019s flat suffering from terminal\u00a0cancer and given healing. A week later the friend sought him out in the\u00a0Spiritualist Centre and said that the patient had passed peacefully although\u00a0prior to the healing she (the patient) had been distressed and terrified of\u00a0dying. The friend was immensely grateful and the writer was gratified that she\u00a0had made an effort to come to the church.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-9w4rg-0c97b04e8293361b31b5706320c19cf0\">\n#top .hr.av-9w4rg-0c97b04e8293361b31b5706320c19cf0{\nmargin-top:30px;\nmargin-bottom:30px;\n}\n.hr.av-9w4rg-0c97b04e8293361b31b5706320c19cf0 .hr-inner{\nwidth:45%;\nmax-width:45%;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-9w4rg-0c97b04e8293361b31b5706320c19cf0 hr-custom  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last  hr-center hr-icon-yes'><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-thin'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><span class='av-seperator-icon' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue8bf' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'><\/span><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-thin'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-15483q-927728ed470f11211d2cce32c2dd2179\">\n#top .flex_column_table.av-equal-height-column-flextable.av-15483q-927728ed470f11211d2cce32c2dd2179{\nmargin-top:-60px;\nmargin-bottom:0px;\n}\n.flex_column.av-15483q-927728ed470f11211d2cce32c2dd2179{\n-webkit-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n-moz-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:30px 30px 30px 30px;\nbackground-color:#f0f0f0;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_column av-15483q-927728ed470f11211d2cce32c2dd2179 av_one_third  avia-builder-el-11  el_after_av_two_third  avia-builder-el-last  no_margin flex_column_table_cell av-equal-height-column av-align-top '     ><p><div  class='avia-builder-widget-area clearfix  avia-builder-el-12  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '><section id=\"nav_menu-3\" class=\"widget clearfix widget_nav_menu\"><div class=\"menu-test-menu-container\"><ul id=\"menu-test-menu\" class=\"menu\"><li id=\"menu-item-625\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-625\"><a href=\"https:\/\/manchesterspiritualistcentre.org.uk\/about-2\/\">About<\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"menu-item-627\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-627\"><a href=\"https:\/\/manchesterspiritualistcentre.org.uk\/church-history\/\">Church History<\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"menu-item-640\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-640\"><a href=\"https:\/\/manchesterspiritualistcentre.org.uk\/the-philosophy-and-teachings-of-spiritualism\/\">The Philosophy and Teachings of Spiritualism<\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"menu-item-635\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-635\"><a href=\"https:\/\/manchesterspiritualistcentre.org.uk\/pioneers-of-spiritualism\/\">Pioneers of Spiritualism<\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"menu-item-666\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-666\"><a href=\"https:\/\/manchesterspiritualistcentre.org.uk\/development\/\">Development<\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"menu-item-712\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-712\"><a href=\"https:\/\/manchesterspiritualistcentre.org.uk\/about\/case-studies\/\">Case Studies<\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"menu-item-643\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-643\"><a href=\"https:\/\/manchesterspiritualistcentre.org.uk\/about\/our-mission\/\">Our Mission<\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"menu-item-634\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-634\"><a href=\"https:\/\/manchesterspiritualistcentre.org.uk\/philosophy\/\">Philosophy<\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"menu-item-621\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-621\"><a href=\"https:\/\/manchesterspiritualistcentre.org.uk\/about\/new-here\/\">New Here?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div><span class=\"seperator extralight-border\"><\/span><\/section><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-pjv9i-0683d431d5b6bc63b8cdcdfad784cfad'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Many people who visit churches and healing centres may feel benefit from\u00a0healing but there are no doubt others who feel they have not benefitted at\u00a0all.
