This book is intended to be a practical presentation of the various forms of Psychic Healing. Very little about theoryalthough giving a general outline of the underlying theories that the healer may understand the nature of the work he is doingand have tried to make the book tell "how" to do the work. In introducing the subject we wish to say that we have not tried to make a religion of Psychic Healing, for this seems a folly to us. We do not see why Psychic Healing should be made into a religion, any more than should Drug Healing, Massage, Osteopathy, or any other form of healing. All true healing results from an application of perfectly natural laws, and the power employed is as much a natural law as is electricity. For that matter, all natural laws are of "divine" religion, and are equally worthy of respect and reverence. William Walker Atkinson (Yogi Ramacharaka) (1862-1932) was a prolific writer. His works treat themes related to the mental world, occultism, divination, psychic reality, and mankind's nature. They constitute a basis for what Atkinson called "New Psychology" or "New Thought".
