Healer Ambrose Worrall said that spiritual healers and physicians are alike in that they both have to ensure the best conditions for successful operations on the patient.16 Worrall prepared himself for healing treatments by maintaining personal cleanliness, and a relaxed, expectant state of mind. |

Worrall described how he prepared the patient for spiritual healing by sitting with him or her and doing a "tuning-in operation." For this, he fixed his attention on the patient, but not on his or her body, or existing symptoms. His goal was to cause his patients to temporarily forget about their afflictions. He talked casually about sports, or any other topic that would build rapport and divert the mind of the patient away from their disease or symptoms. Bad hygiene on the part of the patient was, Worrall believed, an impediment to the tuning-in process, and made the task more difficult for Worrall. |

When "attunement" was achieved, the "healing flow" occurred. "I am simply relaxed and let this strange power do the work,'' he said.17 Books by and about the Worralls cited here attest to the many successful outcomes of their patients for over thirty years. |

Ideal healing conditions are promoted in an environment that optimizes relaxation and rapport between client and healer. Many spiritual healers have preferred to work in a church, because the hallowed, peaceful ambiance promotes a sense of trust for those who are comfortable in a place of worship. Sometimes a neutral space that avoids the negative psychological associations that many people have of organized religion and religious institutions is preferable. Since people have complex thoughts and feelings associated with their homes, families, and workplaces, I often prefer to do healing treatments elsewhere. |
