Faith, guided imagery, hypnosis, pscho neural linguistics, realxation response directives, prayer etc etc

The phenomenon is remarkable no matter what you call it.
I've seen it. You've seen it. I've done it, You've done it.

The act does not require a God to work. It does not require a religion. But you can add them both to the process if you want.

All I would ask is that it is done for good and not evil.
