Course Material & Activities

“Human life can be likened to a house fitted with three windows of the body, mind, and soul. Through these openings come pouring forth the three different kinds of perfect light of God—known as health rays, faculty rays, and wisdom rays. These triune rays are responsible for the perfect health, mental equanimity, and enlightenment of the soul of man.

All physical diseases, psychological inharmonies, and soul maladies born of ignorance come from man’s own mistake of shutting out the rays of God. 

There are many ways of opening the three jammed windows of life. Those ways are generally called healing.

Divine Will Healing Mary Kretzmann Online Course

An Ananda minister and the director of the Ananda Healing Prayer Ministry, and a founding member of Ananda, Mary Kretzmann moved to Ananda Village in 1978. She and her late spouse, Tim, raised their family of three children here. A gifted channel for divine energy and hands-on spiritual healing, Mary has helped heal many through the power of prayer.

In her early years at Ananda, Mary began to explore Yogananda’s healing techniques deeply with a small, dedicated group who were praying for others. She felt inspired to put more energy into this healing ministry, developing it from its humble beginnings into what is now the Ananda Healing Prayer Circle. Mary helps beginners learn the practices. And through newsletters and personal guidance, as well as through classes at The Expanding Light Retreat, she helps those interested to go very deeply into the experience of God through healing prayers. 

Mary has coauthored a book on Yogananda‘s prayer techniques called Divine Will Healing. The book contains extensive chapters on healing techniques and principles by Paramhansa Yogananda and Swami Kriyananda and shows how a person can effectively apply those teachings. Her book A Healer’s Handbook: Channeling the Light of Yogananda and Christ, chronicles Mary’s insights and experiences in healing others and serves as a guidebook for those who wish to gain a deeper understanding of this fascinating area of spiritual service.

Our thoughts, will, feeling, muscular strength, proper action of organs and glands—all depend for their existence on the Life Force. Billions of body cells are kept alive properly working through this secret vital power.

By consciously willing, you can draw Life Energy into the body through the medulla oblongata to replenish the energy that is expended through thoughts, feelings, and physical activities. If you follow these teachings, you will learn to draw on Cosmic Life Energy to vitalize every body cell.
