Chapter VII: The Practice of Pranic Healing.2005
He wrote much on the subject, and agreed with Hippocrates that these
“secret rubbings” should be imparted only to “sacred persons,” and not
allowed to become the property of the profane. Peter Borel, the physician
to Louis xiii, of France, reports that one Degoust, a clerk of the court at
Nismes, healed multitudes of people by rubbing their limbs.
And in our own time, Massage is a deservedly popular form of treatment,
and the new school of “Osteopathy” is growing in favor. In both of these
forms of practice, outside of any particular virtue due to the particular
merits claimed by the respective practitioners, there is a great benefit
derived by the transmitting of Vital Force from healer to patient, whether
the practitioner admits this to be the case or not.
In Rubbing for the purpose of stimulating the parts by Vital Force, the
healer should be gentle in his movements, force not being desirable or
necessary, as the effect is gained by the passing of Vitality to the parts, not
by the mere manipulation.
In applying this form of treatment, the palm of the hand, and the lower
part of the fingers, should be used. The tips of the fingers, and the end
of the thumb should be turned back. Healers having a fleshy lower part
of the thumb, may use its palmar surface effectively in this treatment. The
movements should be made downward. Some practitioners use a slightly
different movement from that above indicated, inasmuch as they make
a peculiar pressure with the flat ends of the fingers, following after the
pressure of the palm of the hand. Students may follow either plan, as may
seem preferable to them. Some healers claim to get the best results from
this employment of the finger ends, while others carefully avoid the use of
same. In each case it has been noticed, that the particular form of treatment
is used because the healer feels that the Vital Force is best conveyed by
his particular form of treatment. It seems to be a matter of “feeling” on the
part of the healer, and this peculiar “feeling” is a safe rule to follow, and it
manifests itself to all persons after they begin to give treatments.
