A Word on 'Absent Healing'

Absent Healing is 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 healing sending a piece of material to be placed on the subject's body where the healing is required, or simply by prayers for the subject's 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. (answers.com)
