FIVE GREAT HEALERS SPEAK HERE
The intelligently directed healing forces emanate from a non-physical realm. They are not physical, but through healership are transformed into physical effects. One function of the healer is to be the means, where necessary, for non-physical energy to be made physical. In contact healing the healer is the attuned receiver through whom the spirit healing forces are received for transmission to the patient.
When absent healing is effective, attunement is established between the healing intelligence and the patient. The healer's function is to be the communicative link between the absent patient and the healing source.

The spirit self can be in attunement with spirit intelligence, and he is therefore able to receive spirit direction and healing forces. He is also able to receive corrective thoughts and directives from the healing intelligence rightly to influence him and so overcome primary causes of disease. The patient's spirit self can also act as a receiver and transformer of healing force in contact healing as well as in absent healing.
For the alleviation and healing of physical ill-effects, the healing forces produce a changed chemical effect in the patient's body. This implies a profound spirit knowledge of chemistry and energies. The spirit healing forces, producing a planned chemical change, must, before the act of transformation, be synonymous with the energy-formations comprising physical matter.
These healing forces are able to create chemical changes through the application of one given form of energy to another. Beneficial chemical changes are also induced through the physical bodily intelligence.
The healing forces possess individual, particularized characteristics to effect beneficial change through introducing new factors that alter or disperse the harmful
