There used to be a group of people in Toronto who called themselves The Emmisaries of the Divine Lght. My mother used to belong to this cult. They eventually moved to Loveland Colorado way back in the middle 50's..

They would lie on a table and swish their hands over a persons body and whoosh all the aches and pains and depressions would just evaporate.

I went once but too weird for me.

Mind over matter can do the same thing. imo
