Practicing Eternity Medicine is disarmingly simple. No formal procedures are required. Eternity Medicine mainly involves conveying empathy, compassion, and love to the sick and dying person. This provides the support for the revelations and wisdom that usually come to the dying — the regaining of their "missing half," which is imperishable. The great task of Eternity Medicine is to facilitate and not obstruct this process.
