The Science of Psychic Healing2070
the mental image, just described—that once formed the thought is easily
transmitted by merely thinking of it as occurring.
This last may seem strange to many of you who have understood, or have
been taught, that great concentration and effort were needed in order
to project a thought. This teaching is incorrect, the truth being that the
concentration is needed only for the purpose of producing a clear cut mental
image—clear visualizing—and that once accomplished the transmission or
projection is accomplished by a mere act of desire or will, in other words, in
thinking of it as occurring. Some healers and adepts in thought transmission
have found it of advantage to them in their work to imagine that they could
see the thought actually leave their brain; actually travel through space; and
actually be received by the mind of the patient. This plan certainly will aid
the mind in holding firm to the mental image until it takes effect.
In treating a patient who is present you should first tell him to quiet
and calm himself—in short, you should endeavor to get him to go into the
Silence as much as possible. We do not mean by this that he should go to
sleep, or slumber, but merely that he should calm his mind, and withdraw his
thoughts from the things and scenes of the outer life, so far as is possible. In
order to aid in bringing about this effect, you should endeavor to have the
room made quiet and still, and should also avoid bright lights which are apt
to distract the attention.
The proper condition once established you should sit quietly until
you feel that your own mental state is right for the treatment—that your
vibrations are raised to the proper degree (your own feelings must decide
this for you), then you may begin the treatment proper. From a mental
image of the patient restored to health—form a mental ideal of the proper
conditions and then “think” of that condition transferred to the mind of
the patient—a transferal of the mental photograph as it were. You may use
words in forming the mental conditions you wish—silently, of course. The
main thing is to form the mental picture of the ideal condition that you wish
to bring about. Remember this always. Try to mentally visualize your patient
