Vol. 4, Healing And The Mind World

1. The Main Aspects of Healing

Breath

Breath is the principal and essential power that can help in healing.

  • There is a silent healing, and
  • a healing by focusing the glance,
  • by holding the painful part with the fingers,
  • by rubbing it,
  • by waving the hand over the painful part,
  • by touching and by not touching it.

But behind these different ways there is one power working, and that is the power of the breath. This power can be developed by breathing practices.

And when the breath is so developed that it creates an atmosphere around the healer, then the very presence of the healer heals.

The power of the breath can be developed by physical exercises, by rhythmic exercises of the breath, by pure living and by concentration.

The power of healing is greater than the power of the channels one uses to heal, such as the finger-tips or eyes. The eyes have more power than the finger-tips. They are finer, and the power that manifests through them is radiant, while it is not so radiant in the finger-tips.

But besides the power of healing one must have a clear idea of how to recognize the complaint of another person and of the best way to heal him.
