Reference: The 12 Aspects of Mindfulness
The purpose of assist is to orient a person who is in pain or confusion, or who has just been through a shock.
When he is in pain you do a “touch” assist.
When he is in confusion you do a “locational” assist.
When he has just been through a shock you do a “contact” assist. One can get into mental contact with a recent trauma.
These assists are described in Scientology materials. The assists are done only for a short period just to orient the person. They are not to be done for a long, long time.
Assists are a quick action.
