Paramhansa Yogananda taught specific techniques for awakening the divine healing energy that flows within each individual. These techniques have been found to overcome physical, mental and spiritual diseases including serious illnesses. He emphasized that we should use our God-given powers to heal ourselves and others, but not think of these powers as our own.

Yogananda's healing techniques use "...the scientific use of concentration and affirmations for healing inharmonies of body, mind and soul through reason, will, feeling and prayer." He emphasized that the darkness cannot remain where the Light is present. Attunment to the Divine Light (which is present in every atom of creation) through meditation, prayer and affirmation can drive away the darkness of disease in a person's body, mind and soul.

He recommended that we approach God as His child with faith and trust and prayer with devotion until all our doubts fall away. When we feel Divine Joy permeating our entire being then we know that God is responding to our prayers and He will heal us according to divine will in the way that is needed for our highest good.

Healing prayers are sent to others by drawing on this unlimited divine energy and then projecting it to the person in need.

Learn several of these techniques for sending your own prayers to others.
