“The Guardian knows nothing about your kind of healing…
But he can lay down for your guidance certain broad principles:
There is no such thing as Bahá’í healers or a Bahá’í type of
healing. In His Most Holy Book (the Aqdas) Bahá’u’lláh says to
consult the best physicians, in other words, doctors who have
studied a scientific system of medicine; He never gave us to
believe, He Himself would heal us through ‘Healers’ but rather
through prayer and the assistance of medicine and approved
treatments. Now, as long as your healing is in no opposition to
these principles, as long as you do not try and take the place
of a regular doctor in trying to heal others, but only give
them your kind of help through constructive suggestion—or
whatever it may be—and do not associate this help with
being a channel of the direct grace of Bahá’u’lláh, the Guardian
sees no harm in your continuing your assistance to others.
But you must conscientiously decide whether, in view of the
above, you are really justified in continuing. He will pray
for your guidance and happiness.”
