"You can take most people in our society and school them successfully in the art of “healing touch,” which requires a practitioner to run her hands over the body a few inches over the skin to feel where there are energy hot spots (detected as a patch of warm air over that region). The practitioner then moves this excess energy to dispel it, and in many cases some healing is achieved, usually in the form of more rapid recovery than from conventional treatments.
With care and patience, anyone can be taught to manipulate light; healing touch is only one mode. Any miracle may be within reach, if only we begin to alter our conception of who we are and how our minds work." - Adapted from How To Know God, by Deepak Chopra (Harmony Books, 2000).
