There is another point which I would seek to emphasise. In all healing methods of an esoteric nature, it is essential that sound medical practices of an orthodox kind accompany the subtler modes of help. It is in the wise combination of the two approaches, and in the cooperative work of the orthodox physician and of the occult healer or healing group, that the soundest results will be produced.

Students who attempt to heal will therefore need to realize two things:

1. The nature of the disease, as diagnosed by a good physician

2. The center which controls the area of the disease.

The whole process is one of either stimulating activity or of withdrawing energy, of making more active an allied center and thus abstracting attention from the center governing the diseased area or organ, or of balancing the energies flowing between two centers and thus producing an equable and even interplay.

The work of the healer and of the healing groups will therefore be supplementary to the orthodox care; results will have to be carefully watched and noted on both sides. Any group which is formed for healing should work under certain determined policies, and here are a few which I would suggest as essential to success in this transitional period:

1. The patient to be healed (or helped, if healing is not possible) should always be in the hands of a good and reputable doctor, and if not, should be encouraged to consult one.

2. The nature of the disease should be known to the group, and should be determined by careful, orthodox medical diagnosis.

3. The age of the patient, his birth date and some information anent his circumstances should also be known, so as to provide a focal point of interest, and a magnetic area should be constructed around the patient which will attract the thought-directed energy of the group.

4. The healer or the healing group should have a general grasp of the nature and the anatomy of the body, the placement of the various organs in the body and the position and nature of the centers governing the diseased area or areas. Charts giving this information should be studied.

5. The faculty of imagination and the power of visualisation should be emphasised in a healing group, and the ability should be developed to send streams of energy to the patient and to the area in the patient's body where the trouble lies.

6. The healer or the healing group must remember that it is not mental energy only with which he works.

7. He creates, for himself:

1. A thought of healing power.

2. That created focal point of concentrated attention becomes the directing agent for the healing force or prana.

3. This prana is neither mental nor Astral in nature. It is pure planetary substance or living essence, and is that substance of which the vital body of the planet is made.

4. The healer or the healing group appropriates as much of this substance as is possible, and by the power of their united thought they direct it to and through the center involved. Healing work is circulatory, and this must not be forgotten. The pranic energy (thought-directed) is not sent to the center and there permitted to accumulate. It is passed through the center, first of all to the organ involved or the area where difficulty is to be found, and then is sent out to the body as a totality. It might be regarded as a system of flushing, with a purificatory and stimulating effect.
