Pranic healing is based on the concept that the body has the ability to self-repair and that the healing process is accelerated by using the "Life Force Energy" or Prana that is all around us from the sun, in the air and earth. Spread Health and Strength with the body's own Prana - the vital Life Force. Prana may be used to directly control the body's cells via the mind, or mental healing; and by calling the light of "higher thought" down on the body, or spiritual healing. An appreciation of our "higher nature," the author reminds us, will result in an healthy sense of physical rejuvenation. A century later, it's a lesson many of us-in our anxious, stressful times-can continue to benefit from. "This is a book for healing. The best way to get the benefit of this book is to start in to put its teachings into practice. Do not be content with merely agreeing intellectually to its propositions, but get to work and do something. This is the only way for you to get the benefit of the book--to get your money's worth from the book. The author has placed in your hands the operation of a mighty force of Nature--you must do the rest. He has pointed out the way--you must take the steps yourself. He has opened the door, but you must walk through it yourself. The methods described in this book may be used in self healing, even when it is not so stated in the text. In fact, self healing is probably the favorite idea of the author, who believes in people doing things for themselves, and being independent, so far as is possible."
