(7) Distant healing.

Prana colored by the thought of the sender may be projected to persons at a distance, who are willing to receive it, and healing work done in this way.  This is the secret of the “absent healing,” of which the Western world has heard so much of late years.  The thought of the healer sends forth and colors the prana of the sender, and it flashes across space and finds lodgment in the psychic mechanism of the patient.  It is unseen, and like the Marconi waves, it passes through intervening obstacles and seeks the person attuned to receive it.  In order to treat persons at a distance, you must form a mental image of them until you can feel yourself to be en rapport with them.  This is a psychic process dependent upon the mental imagery of the healer.  You can feel the sense of rapport when it is established, it manifesting in a sense of nearness.  That is about as plain as we can describe it.  It may be acquired by a little practice, and some will get it at the first trial.  When rapport is established, say mentally to the distant patient, “I am sending you a supply of vital force or power, which will invigorate you and heal you.”  Then picture the prana as leaving your mind with each exhalation of rhythmic breath, and traveling across space instantaneously and reaching the patient and healing him.  It is not necessary to fix certain hours for treatment, although you may do so if you wish.  The receptive condition of the patient, as he is expecting and opening himself up to your psychic force, attunes him to receive your vibrations whenever you may send them.  If you agree upon hours, let him place himself in a relaxed attitude and receptive condition.  The above is the great underlying principle of the “absent treatment” of the Western world.  You may do these things as well as the most noted healers, with a little practice.

(1) Thought projection.

Thoughts may be projected by following the last mentioned method (Distant Healing) and others will feel the effect of thought so sent forth, it being remembered always that no evil thought can ever injure another person whose thoughts are good.  Good thoughts are always positive to bad ones, and bad ones always negative to good ones.  One can, however, excite the interest and attention of another by sending him thought waves in this way, charging the prana with the message he wishes to convey.  If you desire another’s love and sympathy, and possess love and sympathy for him, you can send him thoughts of this kind with effect, providing your motives are pure.  Never, however, attempt to influence another to his hurt, or from impure or selfish motives, as such thoughts only recoil upon the sender with redoubled force, and injure him, while the innocent party is not affected.  Psychic force when legitimately
