There are a number of most
important points for the healer, or practitioner, to always remember and always
practice:
- The practitioner should have firmly fixed in mind the fact that there is but one mind and but one expression of this one mind although it fills all space with its numberless manifestations.
- This awareness removes the line of demarcation between patient and healer.
- Another vital essential is this: If one hopes to be of any help to a patient one must not give treatment for disease. That would surely intensify the disease!
- In giving a spiritual treatment the practitioner should utterly dismiss all thoughts of disease and of personality from the mind.
- To hold the thought on disease would mean MORE disease.
- Rather the healer should mentally see Life whole, free, at peace and in harmony through the power of the Radiant Christ within.
If one is not sufficiently disciplined
in mind to see through, or beyond, the condition one should not attempt to be a
healer; or else such a one should confine his efforts exclusively to absent
mental treatments.
To see, or to believe in, any
condition that a patient may seem to have disarms a practitioner immediately
and renders his efforts impotent in behalf of the patient.
The
steps in giving a successful treatment for one who is present personally
with the practitioner:
1. Have the patient RELAX physically as completely as possible, all over, toes, ankles, knees, spine, shoulders, arms, hands and even the eye-lids (for the eyes should be closed in the silence). The whole body of the patient should be as limp as possible. The greater the physical relaxation you may induce on the part of the patient the greater his RECEPTIVITY to the mental treatment will be.
2. Have the patient "empty" his conscious mind as completely as is possible, trying to think of nothing at all insofar as this can be done; have him try to make a vacuum of his mind, as it were. This complete relaxation of the conscious mind also induces a much greater receptivity.
3. The healer must completely remove the line of demarcation between the patient and self. There are not two persons present, not really, not patient and practitioner. The two are one, and the establishment of this fact firmly in the mind of the healer is of untold importance. Remember that Mrs. Jones, practitioner, is not giving Mrs. Smith, patient, a mental treatment. As long as the one treating is aware of any sense of separation, or distinction, between patient and self there will be little if any results achieved.
4. Once all sense of separation is really removed from the practitioner's consciousness, the actual treatment is given. The patient is now in a passive, or receptive attitude, both mentally and physically. The healer is in an active, or generating, position. Yet the "two" are one, the one person being the negative pole, the other the positive, and between them the healing current of Life may now freely pass. Into the Absolute the practitioner now projects a steady stream of positive, constructive, powerful thought-energy, at the beginning of which process the patient's name is either silently or audibly called in order that the flow of spirit may be given definite direction.

Ecc.
30:15-16,: "Health and a good estate of body are above all gold: and a strong
body above infinite wealth!"
"My
mind is a center of Divine operation. The Divine operation is always for
expansion and fuller expression, and this means the production of something beyond
what has gone before, something entirely new, not included in the past
experience, though proceeding out of it by an orderly sequence of growth.
Therefore, since the Divine cannot change its inherent nature, it must operate
in the same manner with me; consequently, in my own special world, of which I
am the center, it will move forward to produce new conditions, always in advance
of any that have gone before." Thomas Troward
