Another kind of healing is through the force of bodily
magnetism, where the magnetic force of one body affects another body and brings
about the cure. This force, too, has only a slight effect. Thus someone may lay
his hand upon the head or stomach of a patient and perchance the latter will
benefit from this. Why? Because the effect of the magnetism, and the impression
made upon the psyche of the patient, may dispel the disease. But this effect is
also very slight and weak.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (Table talks in Akka, authenticated by
‘Abdu’l-Baha; ‘Some Answered Questions’ – 2014 revised translation by the
