OK, done that. As well as the sight thing,I got "directed" (hard to explain, but it's to do with natural energy flows going where they're needed) to her overall health and emotional support.
On the "faith" thing... what I find works for me isn't faith in some all-powerful being, and certainly not a being as described by other people where some of the details supplied quite obviously aren't true. What works for me is "this technique for doing things produces results". If I switch on a light switch, I have "faith" that there's a good chance a light will come on. There may of course be a "pop!" and a lot of other lights going out, but chances are on my side. If I pour water on the garden, I have faith that it'll go downhill, soak into soil available, and make plants feel better. If I do a bit of meditation, pull in energy and run it through my chakras for a bit, I know I'll feel better and more energised to face the day. If, once grounded like that, I pull in more energy, visualise a friend, and send it their way, I know there's a good chance the karma flows of the universe will help me direct it to make things better for them. It feels a lot like watching the water head for the driest bit of soil and get soaked up, come to think of it. All natural processes, with a bit of intervention from me, and I don't understand any of them, i just use them.
Had you and Jan considered any of the "alternative therapy" methods, by the way? Lots of different names and techniques, but we're all watering plants, just with different shaped wateringcans and hosepipes.
hmm, having just come up with that analogy to try to explain to you, I find myself liking it more and more - thanks!
