The practice of laying hands originates from Biblical references that are seen as advocating the spiritual benefits of physical contact. Beyond the direct situational benefits of subduing an individual or assuaging the individual with human contact The Family believed it to have value in spiritual confrontation.
The contains many references to the laying on of hands as well as references to support the notion that laying hands is not an absolute prerequisite to rituals such as exorcism.
