Psychic Healing - Chapter 5 - THREE FORMS OF PSYCHIC HEALING
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.
