FAQ’s (Frequently asked questions)
WHAT IS A PRACTITIONER?
A practitioner is a person of high spiritual consciousness and deep understanding who is trained in the art, the science, and the skill of Spiritual Mind Treatment. When you call on a practitioner, know that you are in contact with someone who had devoted time and effort to learning how to offer effective affirmative prayer for others. A practitioner also knows how to offer you compassionate support and a new perspective on the challenges of life. A practitioner is a master at using the Spiritual laws of this Universe to reveal your own innate wholeness.
A practitioner is licensed to practice professionally, is bound by a high code of ethics to respect your confidence, and is dedicated to the cause of helping others.
Keep in mind that a practitioner, as well as being an invaluable resource when there is a need for healing, can assist you in expanding your possibilities. They can help you unfold to wonderful new life-experiences that are joyous, abundant, and filled with creativity.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT WHEN I CALL A PRACTITIONER?
The practitioner will ask to set a date and time to meet (this could be by telephone). The average interview will last approximately 30 to 60 minutes. The practitioner will listen to your description of the conditions you are experiencing, and through inquiry, will work to find the cause of these conditions. The cause will always be a belief or attitude – ministered by the Law of Correspondence – that is creating your current experience. The practitioner will then assist you in revealing a higher truth about yourself, and through the use of Spiritual Mind Treatment, will help you to set in motion the changes that you desire.
WHEN THEY TREAT, PRACTITIONERS:
- DO NOT WISH, THEY KNOW.
- DO NOT DREAM, THEY STATE.
- DO NOT HOPE, THEY ACCEPT.
- DO NOT PRAY, THEY ANNOUNCE.
WHAT IS TREATMENT?
Treatment is our form of affirmative prayer. A practitioner uses Spiritual mind Treatment to initiate the healing process. The use of treatment gives us the privilege of choosing the direction of our thought. Consequently, we move into greater harmony with the Power greater than ourselves and bring our experience out of darkness into light. It is a powerful tool used to change one’s thinking, one’s belief, one’s experience in a positive way.
CAN I DO SPIRITUAL MIND TREATMENT FOR MYSELF?
Of course! Religious Science International has developed an entire curriculum of classes designed to teach students how to direct the power of affirmative prayer within themselves in creative, specific and life-changing ways.
