What is 'Force Healing' in The Mandalorian and Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker?

The 9th episode of the Star Wars saga might have left ardent fans in a divisive argument but it evidently managed to show some of the best uses of the force. Both Rey and Ben Solo are seen using the force in creative ways throughout the film which evidently was not seen before. Both the pivotal characters were seen using the force to heal their injuries, even the one which looked fatal. Rey explains earlier in the film how she uses the power of her force to heal a wounded sand serpent. It is then explained that the bearer of the force has to transfer a part of their essence in order to heal someone. Later during the battle on the ruins of the second Death Star, Rey is seen healing Kylo Ren using her force from a Lightsaber wound.

Though this concept of using the force to heal someone is introduced in the last film of the Star Wars saga, it was being hinted at majorly in The Mandalorian. The Child or Baby Yoda is seen trying to fix Mando's wounds using his force ever since the second episode. Only in the seventh episode, the persistent character of Baby Yoda succeeded in healing someone using his force.
