We don't know what was going on in that case, however consider this. The lady that thought if she just touched the hem of His garment she would be healed. And she was. She was not focused on the hem. She was focused on Jesus.
But this was not taught. It was not said to be a focus (rhymes with hocus pocus). It was not a repeated action. They did not objectify anything.
Peter apparently was anointed like Jesus was, to heal. What we do today is unbiblical. We call for the elders and they pray over the hankerchief.
But what they are doing it seems is asking Jesus (the focus of our faith) to do this for us since we can't get there.
