"Healing by sending energy through the hands, ,,is based on the healer's ability to connect with and consciously direct the cosmic energy of God. The body lives in an omnipresent sea of this vibratory power. This energy sustains life and recharges the vitality of the body as it becomes depleted by physical and mental activity." ,,,

That form, that photo, that picture is the physical expression of the > > form which had a mind which was fully enlightened and omnipresent. > > > > So once we see the form, our eyes associate with the form very naturally, > > because the physical and the mental run parallel. And once the form is in > > our vision, in our awareness, then naturally our mind gets in tune with the > > mind which occupied that form once upon a time. > > The form was occupied by a mind, that mind is an all time reality, eternal. > > The barriers of time are no barrier for it - continuum. > > The body is no more, but the form is there. > > And once we tune our eyes, perception, vision and cognition to that - > > because that was held up by a mind that was enlightened - naturally our > > mind gets in tune. > > > > And because that mind was and is and will for ever be omnipresent, > > immediately our mind gets in tune with the omnipresent.
