I’ve often wondered what my mom would say if she learned of my religious faith. I’ve always been pretty open with my friends about it. Well I don’t go around dancing and screaming “I am a wiccan”, but if religion as come to subject. (which in all honesty hasn’t happen all that often) I’ve always been straight forward about it.
But my mom… and my sis as a matter of fact, are different. My mom is a walking contradiction and she is not even aware of it. She will think I joined some cult, while a lot of her personal beliefs are part of what Wicca is all about. She believes that you can send good vibes to people who are having health trouble… but don’t tell her it’s a form of healing spell. There is many other examples. I guess if I sit down with her and et her to listen to me she might accept my choice.
My sister is another problem. To her, the world is either white or black. White is everything that she is, likes and believes. Black is all the rest. We have had fights worthy of the titans during our youth because she did not understand I did not share her opinions. I’m afraid she’ll see Wicca, hear witch, and categorize me as crazy or evil. There is no changing her mind.…

It’s your spirituality and you can choose to share it or keep it personal to you. If your sister or mother is not ready to hear what you have to say, then you have the choice of keeping it to yourself (and deal with the consequences of that) or tell them (and deal with the consequences of that).
As for the difference between a healing spell and sending good vibes, the main difference is the use of labels. Either way, people get healed with vibes. The spells/vibes don’t seem to care about what labels people choose to use.
