Here's an example.
My mother is getting on in life, and a few years ago she had to have double bypass surgery. It was very rough on her, and she suffered complications. I took care of her for 10 days and used what I'd learned about "Scientology assists". These are simple techniques anyone can learn and use.
In Scientology we recognize that there are three parts to man. There is the body, the mind and the being, called the "Thetan" in Scientology. You don't have a thetan - you are a thetan.
A Scientology assists helps the thetan (you) confront the environment, and brings him or her into better communication with the body. By doing this, the being helps heal the body much faster than if one were to rely simply on medical treatment. In fact I have seen it occur that medical treatment got nowhere until Scientology assist were also applied.
At any rate, with my mother, it was so gratifying being able to help her with these techniques. It made her recovery much smoother, and it made me feel great to be able to help.

SCIENTOLOGY EARNS AN ASSIST AT GROUND ZERO, TRAVOLTA SAYS
John Travolta is thrilled that his beloved Church of Scientology found its way to Ground Zero.
When the longtime devotee of the religious group heard that his church was aiding rescue workers at the World Trade Center site, he told Rosie O'Donnell that "Some of our volunteer ministers who are on Ground Zero along with the Red Cross are using these assists that are taking people out of shock. And they really work."
The 'assists' to which Travolta refers are procedures used to get an individual to confront and handle physical difficulties by addressing spiritual trauma. It was "these assists" that attracted Travolta to Scientology in the first place.
'I was in Mexico, shooting a movie with an actress who was a Scientologist,' Travolta told O'Donnell in the December issue of her magazine, Rosie. 'I wasn't feeling well, and she gave me one of these assists, and I felt better immediately, and I thought, 'Hey, there has to be something to this.' I was only 21.'
Travolta adds that Scientology even helps him know what role his own celebrity should play in the world — especially at a time like this.
'One of my favorite quotes from [Scientology founder] L. Ron Hubbard is, 'It's all right to think that you're the most important person in the world, as long as everyone else is equally important.'
'Celebrities can be more valuable in the time of crisis, but we are not more important.' As all of us have seen these last two months"
