In the second place, there is the effect upon the astral body of the
patient, which tends to materialize better physical conditions. In the
third place, there is that combination and union of the minds of the two
persons, which gives extra force and power to psychic influence. Is it any
wonder that cures take place under these circumstances?
In the modern revival of the almost lost art and science of psychic
healing among the general public, there has been unusual stress laid upon
the feature of "absent healing," in which the patient and the healer are
not in each other's presence. To many this has seemed actually miraculous,
and as a positive proof of divine interposition. But a little thought will
show the student that such cures are not unknown in the pages of history,
as a casual examination of the sacred books of almost any religion will
show. Moreover, the student will see that to the effect of certain
principles of psychic influence there needs but to be added the principles
of telepathic communication, or, better still, the principles of astral
communication by some phases of clairvoyance, to account for the entire
phenomena of "absent healing."
Space is no barrier on the astral plane, as you have seen in the
preceding chapters of this book. Once the en rapport condition is
established between healer and patient, and the rest is simple--the astral
body is induced to energize more actively, and as a result the physical
manifestation is improved and normal functioning restored.
