No Sensation in Treatments ~ Ernest Holmes

"It is sometimes thought that in giving or receiving a treatment, one must experience some physical sensation:  "I felt nothing unusual during the treatment." It is not necessary that the patient should feel anything unusual.  There is no peculiar sensation which accompanies a treatment, neither is it necessary that the practitioner should feel anything, other than the truth of the words that he speaks.

When we plant a seed in the ground we do not have a great sensation, and it is not probably that the soil has any; but the seed planted in thee creative soil will, nevertheless, produce a plant.   "What is true on one plane is true on all."  Know what you are doing just as definitely as the gardener does.  It is the person who knows what he is doing who gets results.

Sometimes people who are being treated, as well as the practitioner, feel a great sense of peace, or elation, a vibration of light.  Such a treatment - if it could be seen - might appear as light.  People often do have a sense of light during a treatment; but it is not at all necessary that either the practitioner or the patient should experience any sensation out of the ordinary during a  treatment.  The practitioner does not work himself up into an emotional state. While it is true that the treatment is creative, it is also true that whatever feeling there is, must be an effect and not a cause.  It must be the result of a conviction."
