Heals with "warm hands"

Ever since I was 19 I've had enormous back problems. I have problems sitting for any length of time. These problems didn't occur now. After further treatment of my hands and feet, most of my back pains are gone. Incredible, says Jorun and tells us that it's several years since she could move without pains in her back.


Halvard Nordfjæran appears to be just an ordinary man from Frosta, but he makes his living healing people with his hands. He is a healer. Last week he arranged a healing demonstration at Stjørdal Hotel. The few people who attended were given a thorough explanation and demonstration of healing.

Healing is using the energy around us. Call it spiritual power, God's power or the power of love, if you like. I channel this energy and use it to heal people, said Nordfjæran.

According to healers, sickness and other problems are caused by blockage of energy flow in the body. Healers believe that they loosen these blockages and in this way can treat all kinds of sicknesses. Healers maintain that they first and foremost influence the soul and the mind and that all sickness has its source in the mind.

Healing is often connected with religion but no religion can claim the monopoly on healing. Besides, healing is the oldest method of treatment. Healing is more widely recognized in England, the Netherlands and Denmark than in Norway. All these countries have special departments for alternative treatment methods in hospitals. It is only during recent years that healing has become more accepted in Norway, says Nordfjæran. We now have many examples and proof for how effective and credible healing is.

On one occasion Nordfjæran treated a person with one foot shorter than the other. After he treated her, the short leg had grown 2 cm. Nordfjæran feels that it's time people became aware of alternative treatments.

Full time healer for 14 years

Nordfjæran discovered that he had special powers 14 years ago when he discovered that he could cure pain in his own foot by placing his hand on it. Through his dreams he soon learned to understand how he could use his special talent. From then on, he has made his living by healing.

Everybody can learn healing but not everybody can be as good at it. You have to have the talent. Like playing the piano. Everyone can play but not everybody can be a concert pianist. Healing is not mystical, it's a natural use of energy, claims Nordfjæran.

And the people who came to the meeting received a full demonstration. After explaining of the meaning of healing, the participants sat in a circle and held hands. Nordfjæran then went around and touched each one on the chest, shoulders, back or head.

I channel energy and transfer it to the participants. Holding hands allows the energy to flow through the whole group and not just to the person I'm touching.

After about an hour of laying on of the hands the participants told of varying degrees of heat and cold where he touched them, like tingling of the skin and movements in the other's hands. Everybody felt radiation from his hands.

Ever since I was 19 I've had enormous back problems. I have problems sitting for any length of time. These problems didn't occur now. After further treatment of my hands and feet, most of my back pains are gone. Incredible, says Jorun and tells us that it's several years since she could move without pains in her back.

Be open-minded

A little scepticism is in its place where healing is concerned. There are healers who abuse their talent and practice healing for the money, even if they are a minority, says Nordfjæran. But he challenges people to have an open mind about things they don't understand. Healing is definitely an alternative to traditional school medicine.
