In a talk with Miss Ethel Rosenberg, in October 1904, 'Abdu'l-Baha said:-- The healing that is by the power of the Holy Spirit needs no special concentration or contact.

It is through the wish or desire and the prayer of the holy person.

The one who is sick may be in the East and the healer in the West, and they may not have been acquainted with each other, but as soon as that holy person turns his heart to God and begins to pray, the sick one is healed.

This is a gift belonging to the Holy Manifestations and those who are in the highest station.
Of this nature, apparently, were the works of healing performed by Christ and His apostles, and similar works of healing have been attributed to holy men in all ages.

Both Baha'u'llah and 'Abdu'l-Baha were gifted with this power, and similar powers are promised to Their faithful followers.
Attitude of the Patient In order that the power of spiritual healing may be brought fully into operation certain requirements are necessary on the part of the patient, of the healer, of the patient's friends and of the community at large.
On the part of the patient the prime requisite is, turning with all the heart to God, with implicit trust both in His Power and in His Will to do whatever is best.
