This method worked for me when i did healing to my self.
I imagined that my healer self is coming out from me,and then perform healing to the affected area.The whole vision lasted no more than 2 seconds,so not to give my consious mind the time to think.
The effect took place immediately and the pain stopped.
The important thing to make it work is to 'know' that whoever you choose to externalize,is coming from the inside of you.At least that's what i observed so far.
It's like dressing up you inner self as you want,then see him jumping out from you,and then perform the task you want him to do.
By the way,i did that to stop a planetary force,because it was throwing me out of balance.
