When people witness a spiritual healing session — especially one with no physical touch — they often wonder:
“What exactly is happening here?”
It may look subtle, but what’s taking place is profound.
Spiritual healing moves energy with intention. But how it moves — and where it moves — depends on the method, the healer, and the divine guidance involved.
Rev. Starlene Joyner Burns has studied and practiced many healing modalities over the years. In some traditions — especially those found in metaphysical churches — the energy of God is channeled downward through the crown chakra and into each of the main chakras.
Each chakra governs different emotional and physical functions. For example:
The heart chakra influences the lungs and circulatory system.
The solar plexus supports digestion and self-power.
When divine energy flows downward through these centers, it supports healing in the areas where those energies reside. This pathway brings light, alignment, and spiritual nourishment into the physical form.
In contrast, the National Spiritual Science Center (NSSC) healing modality — which Rev. Starlene has practiced for decades — raises energy upward, from the body toward the Higher Self.
This method activates the spiritual controller, also known as the Inner God — the divine consciousness within each person. It’s a way of saying: “Let the God in me rise up and respond.”
In this approach, the energy isn’t just flowing; it’s working in cooperation with your divine nature to initiate healing, not just physically but also emotionally and spiritually.
This upward movement is powerful because it invites the part of you that already knows how to heal — your spiritual intelligence — to take the lead.
Rev. Starlene doesn’t choose one method over the other. She listens — to the person, the moment, and the guidance she receives.
Sometimes, healing energy needs to descend — to fill and realign the body’s energetic centers.
Other times, energy needs to rise — to awaken the Inner God so that healing becomes a divine collaboration.
Either way, healing is never random. It’s spiritually guided and always intentional.
