Local Healer Explains How Scientific Prayer
Helps Us Overcome the Healthcare Crisis
At a time when many Americans are struggling with the fear of disease, lacking health insurance, and wondering how to pay for healthcare, Medford-based spiritual healer Janis Hunt Johnson contends that scientific prayer works to keep people healthy — and to bring healing when we do get ill or injured.
“All people deserve healthcare whenever they need it, no matter what. There is an alternative that works wherever you are, 24/7. It doesn’t cost anything to turn to God in prayer,” said Johnson.
Johnson’s book, Five Smooth Stones: Our Power to Heal without Medicine through the Science of Prayer, offers a practical guide to spiritual healing that includes many real-life examples of healing by scientific prayer alone — from the common cold to terminal illness and everything in between. She explains that a radical reliance on God (Infinite Good) can heal and transform, even in life-threatening situations.
Based on her own experiences since 1991, when she suffered from chronic carpal tunnel syndrome and all medical treatments failed, “I had a full physical healing through prayer alone. Over the years I’ve learned that no matter what your problem is, you can heal anything with scientific prayer — which, rather than requiring a leap of faith, is based on a true understanding of the unchanging laws of the universe. Science and spirituality don’t have to be in conflict."
Rabbi David Zaslow, founder of The Wisdom Exchange, the Ashland publisher of Johnson’s book, met her in 2005 after she attended a Passover Community Seder meal. She started taking his Talmud and Bible classes, began studying Hebrew, and eventually edited Zaslow’s seminal interfaith work, Roots and Branches: The Jewish Roots of Christianity.
Johnson told him about her own book, and ultimately he offered her the opportunity to publish it. They also discovered they had a musical background in common: Before becoming a rabbi, Zaslow was jazz concert producer for Jazmin’s, Ashland’s premiere jazz club; before becoming a healer, Johnson was a singer/songwriter/recording artist in Chicago and Los Angeles.
“I believe that people of many faiths will benefit from this book, which looks destined to make a significant contribution in our hurting world,” Zaslow said.
Janis Hunt Johnson has worked as a professional writer and editor for over 26 years. In 1995 she completed formal instruction in spiritual healing, with annual refresher courses since then. She now runs a public spiritual healing practice, CS Renewal Healing Center, in Southern Oregon.
As part of Jacksonville’s Whole Town Yard Sale, Johnson will be signing copies of her book at the Local Authors’ Table at Jacksonville Books, 555 North Fifth, in Jacksonville, Oregon on Saturday, September 12th, 9:00 AM–3:00 PM.
