When giving healing, a healer can become aware of certain effects, such as that of “heat” or “cold,” “vibrations,” or, what is more important, intuitive thought and direction. This intuitive direction usually needs the experience of time and healing to make it clear. When the flow of thought comes, even though the healer may not be aware of its source, he should accept it without questioning, but at the same time keep all information in reserve until there is substantial proof that it is factual. Does unusual heat emanate from the hands of a healer? Most healers are conscious of a feeling of heat, especially when in contact with certain diseased areas of patients. The diseases are mainly those dealing with arthritis, rheumatism, etc., and others where there is the need for dispersal. It also occurs if healing is being given for growths. This heat is felt by the patient as well. It is a heat that penetrates into the body. It is interesting to note that a healer may experience this strong heat condition when his hands are in a certain position on the patient's body, but if he moves the hands to another part of the body, he will find that the heat is not there. Yet it returns the moment that he replaces his hand over the affected part.
