In addition to healing in the presence of the person, there is 'absent healing' in which the healing occurs at a distance. This means it is important to tell the person what you are planning to do and to ask his permission. Psychic healing transfers energy from the healer to the sick to repair and rebalance his energies. If an inept healer overdoes the process, or if he doesn't take the precaution to 'disconnect' himself afterwards, he may find himself becoming sick due to energy drain and a linkage to his subject. Similarly, the healer should always be in a good state of health or he could unintentionally transfer his illness to the subject.
Creative visualization is one of the easiest techniques.
Psychic healing should always be combined with medical care and treatment. In creative visualization, we visualize the person being well. Sometimes in absent healing it is helpful to arrange a time for treatment in advance, asking your subject to be in a receptive state of mind and to sit back and close his eyes. The banishing ritual is helpful in psychic protection and healing since it forms a protective barrier against malevolent forces. Thus, the banishing ritual is an essential first step in almost any formal full magick ceremony.
