you simple, plain instructions whereby you
may be enabled to do much good in relieving others. The main principle
to remember is that by rhythmic breathing and controlled thought you
are enabled to absorb a considerable amount of prana, and are also
able to pass it into the body of another person, stimulating weakened
parts and organs and imparting health and driving out diseased
conditions. You must first learn to form such a clear mental image of
the desired condition that you will be able to actually feel the
influx of prana, and the force running down your arms and out of your
finger tips into the body of the patient. Breathe rhythmically a few
times until the rhythm is fairly established, then place your bands
upon the affected part of the body of the patient, letting them rest
lightly over the part. Then follow the "pumping" process described to
the preceding exercise (Self-Healing) and fill the patient full of
prana until the diseased condition is driven out. Every once in a
while raise the hands and "flick" the fingers as if you were throwing
off the diseased condition. It is well to do this occasionally and
also to wash the hands after treatment, as otherwise you may take on a
trace of the diseased condition of the patient. Also practice the
Cleansing Breath several times after the treatment. During the
treatment let the prana pour into the patient in one continuous
stream, allowing yourself to be merely the pumping machinery
connecting the patient with the universal supply of prana, and
allowing it to flow freely through you. You need not work the hands
vigorously, but simply enough that the prana freely reaches the
affected parts. The rhythmic breathing must be practiced frequently
during the treatment, so as to keep the rhythm normal and to afford
the prana a free passage. It is better to place the hands on the bare
skin, but where this is not advisable or possible place them over the
clothing. Vary above method occasionally during the treatment by
stroking the body gently and softly with the finger tips, the fingers
being kept slightly separated. This is very soothing to the patient.
In cases of long standing you may find it helpful to give the mental
command in words, such as "get out, get out," or "be strong, be
strong," as the case may be, the words helping you to exercise the
will more forcibly and to the point. Vary these instructions to suit
the needs of the case, and use your own judgment and inventiv
