he healthy physical condition of
the organ, or part or body, as the case may be. See this condition as
existing at the present time, and not as merely to come in the future. At
the same time, you will do well to mentally speak to the patient, just as
you would in case he or she were sitting before you in the physical body.
Tell the patient just what you would in such case. Pour in the
suggestions, or affirmations, or whatever you may wish to call them. In
some cases in which an excellent en rapport condition is established,
patients become aware of the treatment, and sometimes can almost see and
feel the presence of the healer.

A prominent Mental Scientist, of America, instructs his pupils to consider
each of the organs of the patient, or of themselves, as having a separate
intelligence; and, therefore, to "speak up to it" as if it really
understood what was being said to its organ-mind. I would say that such
form of treatment would be calculated to bring about very good results,
indeed. The principle of concentration and mental picturing would be
invoked very strongly in such a case, and the astral counterpart of the
organ should respond to such treatment quickly and effectively. It is an
occult fact that there is mind in every organ and cell of the body, and if
the same is awakened in the astral counterpart, it will respond to the
command, suggestion, or direction. The writer in question evidently is
well acquainted with this occult law, judging from his other writings, and
has simply veiled his knowledge with this easily understood method of
treatment which undoubtedly will "do the work," to use the American term.

Finally, no matter what may be the theory, or method, given in connection
with psychic healing of any or all kinds, you will find the same general
principles underlying it that have been presented over and over again in
this book. In fact, many purely material and physical remedies owe their
success to the fact that they appeal to the imagination of the patient,
and also inspire confidence in him. Anything that will inspire confidence,
faith and hope in the mind of a patient, and will bring to his mind strong
mental pictures of restored health and normal functioning of his
organs--that thing will make for health for him. So, there you have the
whole theory and practice in a sentence!
