I wanted to write a piece on Distant Healer L.D. Porter because I had long admired his modesty, and because I found his background fascinating. In anticipation of this interview, I asked L.D. to prepare a short biography in regard to his distance healing practice. He came back several days later without a word written. "I sat down at the table and I couldn't think of anything I had done," he said.

A classical musician by trade, for several years in the early 2000's, LD worked as a medical intuitive and healer alongside one of the most talked-about healers in the country, an Amish herbalist who has achieved a devoted following. "I really didn't do anything," L.D. said. "I just sat in the corner of the room."

Knowing his humility, I had a feeling that he was not telling the full story, and that became apparent after more conversation. This particular healer "used to call me his x-ray machine, because I could see into areas of the body and function as a medical intuitive, so to speak." L.D. said. "There were several of us on the team who did this work."

In his distance healing work, L.D. works by a process that he says involves mental thought. "I am able to go there, see the problem, and then later, we can help heal the illness or sickness through mental thought, similar to prayer but not quite the same," he said. L.D. also referred to his remote healing technique of "body scanning," which involves looking at the client "like a TV screen" through which he can assess the client's physical, emotional, spiritual, and energetic functioning. His new book "Awakening the Genesis Within," explores how you can realize your own healing gifts

In the fall of 2006, I accompanied L.D. to a healing fair he was working in Durango, Colorado, where he attracted a crowd by giving away free intuitive readings. He allowed me to sit near his booth for several hours. I observed him tell a skeptical chiropractor that his client "the older woman with white hair, your client, the one with glasses, she has a problem in her right knee. She could benefit from glucosamine." The chiropractor sat in stunned silence. After the initial shock wore off, the chiropractor confirmed the accuracy of L.D.'s psychic diagnosis and nodded his head approvingly. The situation played itself out the rest of the afternoon. Eventually, I gave up my notions of counting his "success" rate.

As the product of an abusive family growing up in Texas, L.D. became accustomed to distractions. To escape the trauma, L.D. would hide in the barns on his family farm and spend time with the world of intuition and spirit. Gradually, he was influenced by several mentors along the way to help develop his natural remote healing gifts. He credited Texas healers Jo Heller, whom he met in 1980, and Natalie Sturdy, with helping him hone his gifts. "These women were spiritual seers," he said.

Today, after nearly 30 years of distance healing practice, L.D. juggles his time between doing distance healing sessions, composing music, and caretaking land around Abiqu and Pecos, New Mexico. His distance healing work is in steady demand, with a devoted and growing clientele. He recently made several national radio appearances, no short accomplishment for a man unaccustomed to the spotlight. In humble fashion, L.D. shrugged it off. "I don't really feel I do anything," he said, smiling. "But I guess the work has an effect, because people keep coming back." - By Michael R. Smith, Ph.D.
