CHAPTER V. THE THREE FORMS OF PSYCHIC HEALING.

As we stated at the close of our last chapter, the control of the cells manifesting

physical disease, might be accomplished by the several forms of Psychic

Healing, which may be considered in three forms known as :

(1) Pranic Healing, or healing by the sending of Prana or Vital Force to the

affected parts, thereby stimulating the cells and tissue to normal activity,

the result being that the waste matter is ejected from the system, and normal

conditions restored. This form of healing is known in the Western world as

"Magnetic Healing" etc., and many cures have been made by reason thereof,

although many of the healers have not known the principles underlying the

work, although they had acquired very good working knowledge of the

methods to be employed.

(2) Mental Healing, by which is meant the control of the cell-minds, either

direct, or through the Instinctive Mind of the sick person. This form of Healing

includes what is known in the Western World as Mental Healing, direct and

absent; Suggestive Healing; Psychic Healing, etc., etc., etc., and includes

many so-called religious forms of healing which are but forms of Mental

Healing, disguised under the cover of religious teachings and theories.

(3) Spiritual Healing, by which is meant a high form of healing arising from the

Healer possessing a high degree of Spiritual Unfoldment, and allowing the light

of his or her, higher mentality to pour forth upon the mind of the patient,

bathing him in a wave of high thought and lifting him, temporarily to a higher

plane of being. This form of healing is not nearly so common as one might be

led to believe from listening to the talk of the healers and their patients. In fact

it is very rare, and none but healers of a very high order possess it.

Many who think that they have it, are simply using the ordinary methods of

Mental Healing, and have not the slightest idea of what true Spiritual Healing

consists. But, no harm is done, so long as the results are obtained, and we

merely mention the matter here, that the reader may form a clear idea of the

entire subject.

Each of these forms of Psychic Healing will be considered in turn, as we

proceed.

The principal point to be remembered, at this point is that at the last all forms

of Psychic Healing are forms of Mental Healing. Even the healing by Prana, is

Mental Healing, for the Prana is moved by the Mind, and in fact, is the power of

Mind itself, as we shall see presently. The disease or trouble is called "physical,"

that is, is manifest in the cells of the physical body, and, if we examine it closely

we will see that it is really a mental trouble of the particular cells affected. And,

consequently the only way a cure may be effected, is by reaching the mental

part of the cell, and rousing it to normal activity. This may be accomplished in

many ways, but all ways, at the last are Mental Ways, for it is not the "way"

that works the cure, but the mind that is aroused by the Way. These points will

be brought out as we proceed.

In our next chapter, we shall consider the form of Psychic Healing called Pranic

Healing.
