Intent is seen as a healing mechanism that triggers the largely unconscious process of electromagnetic energy changes that take place during healing (Joe Potter). A psychologist must encourage the client to become more conscious and manifest intention, which will lead him or her to the multi-dimensional nature of healing of the body, mind, nature, and spirit. Smith (2002) defines manifesting intention as creating, holding, and expressing thoughts, images, feelings, beliefs, desires, will (purpose), and actions that affirm possibilities for human betterment or well-being. Well-being results when an individuals intentionality and consciousness interconnect with a great level of prospect (Watson).

Wilber (2000) states that The Integral Model of Intentional healing (IMIH) encourages a full spectrum of therapy in which a client works with the body, the ego, the shadow, the existential self, the soul and spirit, attempting to bring awareness to all of the, so that all of them may join consciousness in the extraordinary return voyage to the Self and Spirit that grounds and moves the entire display. (For a schema of the IMIH see Watanabe).
As one can see there is a lot of work being done in the area of alternative therapy; the
Prince is making a case for the gradual integration of such therapies that satisfy the criteria to be integrated within mainstream medicine. Despite the strong resistance in UK by some with vested interests, the time will come when official recognition will be forthcoming even by the sceptics.
