Absent Healing
Healing at a distance from the subject, sometimes through
the subject providing some associational link such as a written
request for healing, or in reverse form, by the healer sending
a piece of material to be placed on the subjects body where the
healing is required, or simply by prayers for the subjects recovery
on the part of the healer or a band of healing associates.
Many people today, Christian, metaphysical, or modern Spiritualist,
hold sessions at which they pray for the recovery of petitioners
who write them for help. (See also Healing by Faith;
Psychic Healing)
