| Here are the first rules which I would have the student
    master: Preliminary Rules for Radiatory Healing 
      By an act of the will, after making your own quick, conscious alignment, link up as a
        soul with the souls of your group brothers. Then link up with their minds, and then with
        their emotional natures. Do this by the use of the imagination, realizing that energy
        follows thought and that the linking process is inevitable, if correctly done. You can
        then function as a group. Then forget about the group relation and concentrate upon the
        work to be done.Within yourself, then, link soul and brain and gather together the forces of love that
        are to be found in your aura and focus yourself and all that you have to offer within the
        head, picturing yourself as a radiant center of energy or a point of vivid light. This
        light is to be projected upon the patient through the ajna center between the eyes.Then say the following group mantram: 
      "With purity of motive, inspired by a loving heart, we offer ourselves for this
      work of healing. This offer we make as a group and to the one we seek to heal." [104] 
      As you do this, visualize the linking process going on. See it as moving lines of
      living light substance, linking you to your brothers on the one hand, and to the patient
      on the other. See these lines going out from you to the heart center of the group and to
      the patient. But work ever from the ajna center until instructed to do differently. In
      this way, the ajna center and the heart center of all the persons involved will be closely
      interrelated. You see here where the value of visualization comes in. It is in reality the
      etheric externalization of the creative imagination. Think this last sentence out. 
      Then use thought, directed thought, for a brief moment and think of the one you seek to
        heal, linking up with him, and focusing your attention on him so that he becomes a
        reality in your consciousness and close to you. When you are aware what the physical
        difficulty is, then simply recall it to your mind and then dismiss it. Forget now the
        details of the work, such as the group, yourself and the difficulty of the patient, and
        concentrate upon the type of force you are going to handle, which is, in this case and for
        the present, second ray force, the force of love. What I am here giving out is an
        adaptation of the second ray method of healing, arranged for beginners.Feel a deep love pouring into you. Regard it as substantial light which you can and will
        manipulate. Then send it out as a stream of radiant light from the ajna center and direct
        it through the medium of your hands to the patient. In doing this, hold the hands before
        the eyes, palms outward and with the backs of the hands next to the eyes and about six
        inches away from the face. In this way, the stream which is issuing from the ajna center,
        becomes divided into two and pours out through the two hands. It is thus directed on to
        the patient. Visualize it as pouring out [105] and sense the patient receiving it. As you
        do this, say aloud in a low voice: 
      "May
      the love of the One Soul, focused in this group, radiate upon you, my brother, and
      permeate every part of your body - healing, soothing, strengthening; and dissipating all
      that hinders service and good health." 
      Say this
      slowly and deliberately, believing in the results. See that no thought-power or will-power
      enters into the stream of healing energy, but only a concentrated radiating love. The use
      of the visualizing faculty and of the creative imagination, plus a sense of deep and
      steadfast love, will keep the mind and the will in abeyance. I would
    emphasize the urgent necessity for complete silence and reticence in relation to
    all healing work. Never let it be known by anyone that you are working in this manner, and
    never mention to anyone the names of those you are seeking to aid. Do not discuss the
    patient under treatment even among yourselves. If this basic rule of silence is not kept,
    it will indicate that you are not yet ready for this work and should discontinue it. This
    injunction is far more important than you can realize; for speech and discussion not only
    tend to deflect and dissipate force, but violate a fundamental rule which all healers are
    trained to keep, and even the medical profession on the physical plane follows the same
    general procedure. |
