Evidential Medium, Author & Spiritual Teacher
.jpg)
Healing Made Simple is a practical guide to spiritual healing by evidential medium and Reiki Master Hannah Macintyre, and the fifth book in the Mediumship Matters Mini Guides. It explains what healing is and isn’t, how to heal yourself, how to give a treatment, and how to work ethically, without the rules, rituals and over-complication.
​
What if healing was simpler than you’ve been told?
When Hannah got her first Reiki qualification, she thought she was going to go out and save the world. The way it was sold to her, healing was going to fix everything.
It didn’t. What it did was change her life in ways she never expected. It gave her boundaries, the confidence to say no and the confidence to be seen. It gave her the strength to stand up for herself, and even the desire to go to therapy.
As Hannah says, healing is “really simple, and it’s available to everyone”. You don’t need levels, symbols or the right music. You just need to ask, and then get out of the way.
​
What This Book Is About
There’s a lot of misinformation about healing. Some people treat it like a miracle cure. Others bury it under so many rules, levels and rituals that it feels out of reach.
Healing Made Simple cuts through both. Hannah draws on more than a decade as a Usui Reiki Master and Angelic Reiki Master, and on her own simpler, spirit-led approach. She explains what healing energy is, where Reiki came from, and what symbols, attunements and chakras really are. Then she shows you how to use them, or not, in your own practice.
The book covers healing yourself, giving a full treatment, distance and group healing, and working with friends and family. It also covers what happens in the weeks after a healing, and the ethics every healer needs to understand.
​
What You Will Learn
Inside this book, you will discover:
-
What healing is, what it isn’t, and what it can realistically do
-
How energy works in healing, and why you can’t pick up other people’s “bad energy” unless you decide to
-
The history of Reiki, from Mikao Usui to the West
-
What Reiki symbols and attunements really are, and why Hannah believes the power was always yours
-
The chakras explained simply, as keys to information rather than fixed rules
-
How to heal yourself, with no hand positions or special kit
-
How to give a healing treatment, from setting up the room to bringing your client back
-
Distance healing, group healing, and when it’s right to offer healing to friends and family
-
What happens after a healing, and how to look after yourself while it works through you
-
The staircase: Hannah’s simple way of understanding how healing actually works
-
Healing ethics: consent, not diagnosing, keeping messages out of it, and why clients aren’t friends
A Simpler Way to Understand Healing
Hannah is passionate about one thing above all: understanding how and why this work happens is fundamental to your results with it. For years she followed the rules she’d been taught: the symbols, the hand positions, the music you had to play. She worried constantly that she’d done it wrong.
Then she started asking why. If the energy goes where it needs to go, why do you need to move your hands? If spirit know what to heal, why does the healing depend on a symbol? Those questions led to the simpler, spirit-led way she works and teaches now.
The book shows you that:
-
healing energy has its own intelligence, so you don’t need to steer it
-
tools like symbols and crystals can help you, but they aren’t doing the healing
-
healing is an unfolding, drip by drip, not a quick fix
-
the healing on the bench is only the start, and the real work happens in the weeks after
-

About Hannah
Hi, I’m Hannah Macintyre — Usui Reiki Master and Angelic Reiki Master, evidential medium, Amazon bestselling author, podcast host, and spiritual mentor. For over a decade, I’ve been supporting people to explore their sensitivity and connection with Spirit in a grounded, accessible, and deeply human way.
​
I don’t believe mediumship is reserved for a chosen few. I believe it is a natural capacity that many of us carry, often quietly, and that with the right understanding and encouragement, it can be developed with confidence.
​
My own journey was not instant or dramatic. Like many people, I doubted what I was receiving and assumed I needed certainty before I could trust it. What I learned is that mediumship is not about getting everything right. It is about listening, responding, and allowing communication with Spirit to unfold.
​
Healing changed my life, not by fixing me, but by helping me choose myself. That’s what I want it to do for you.

Frequently Asked Questions About Spiritual Healing
​
What is spiritual healing?
Spiritual healing is inviting in a higher-frequency energy from spirit, which works through your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual self in whatever way it needs to. Put even more simply, Hannah describes healing as love: allowing yourself to be loved, and letting that love work its way through you.
​
Can healing cure illness?
Healing is not a cure and is never a replacement for medical treatment. Nobody should stop or change their medication because of healing. In Hannah’s experience, healing helps in other ways. It can bring calm, help people cope, and give them the strength to look after themselves and get the support they need.
​
Do I need to be attuned or qualified to do healing?
Not for yourself. Hannah believes healing energy is available to everyone, and self-healing is as simple as asking. If you want to heal other people, even friends and family, she strongly recommends a proper course first, for the ethics and practical knowledge. You’ll also need a certificate to get insured if you work with the public.
​
Why does understanding how healing works matter?
Because without it, it’s easy to get caught up in rules, worry you’ve done it wrong, or expect healing to fix everything. When you understand how healing energy works, and what it can and can’t do, you can relax, trust the process and get out of your own way.
​
Do I need Reiki symbols, crystals or special music?
No. Hannah still loves the Reiki symbols and uses them as doorways in her own self-healing, but she doesn’t believe the healing depends on them. Tools can help you relax and focus, and the book shows you how to use them, but they aren’t doing the healing.
​
Why do I feel emotional after a healing session?
Healing often keeps working for around a month afterwards. You might feel tired, emotional, energised or unsettled, or find old memories coming up. The book explains why this happens, and how to be kind to yourself while it works through you.

Start Your Healing Journey
You don’t need the perfect room, the right music, the symbols, the certificate or anybody’s permission. You don’t have to be fixed, serene or glowing before you begin.
You just need to ask, and then get out of the way.
Because with healing, what we’re really doing is loving people until they learn to love themselves. Including you.
