There are also a small number of Spiritist centers involved with new energy medicine technology using light, heat, magnetism and electricity to stimulate healing. This is an alternative to ‘passing’ or the ‘laying on of hands’ which is the more widely used and preferred method of the majority of the centers.

 

If all this falls into the unbelievable basket for you, then consider that when subjected to reputable medical testing, Spiritist centers claim up to 70% success rates with cancer patients, 90% with drug and alcohol addictions and 90% with depression. Whilst no one doubts that more studies and verification work needs to be done, the results to date have high levels of integrity and the indicators are strong and extremely positive.

 

Some healers say that they’re using spiritual energy to heal; some say that it’s the spirits or guides intervening, and some say that it’s both. Whilst we in the West are content to be blinkered by an arrogant need for scientific proof, we’re presented with one new cultural concept at least, in Spiritism, where these concepts are not only accepted, but alive and well. Elsewhere and within many other cultures and countries around the globe, the spirit world is something that sits comfortably alongside human existence from birth to death. We forget that even Einstein implied, when he declared E=MC squared, that energy and matter are essentially two sides of the same coin, thus suggesting the human body can be addressed as either energy or matter.

 

Spiritist doctors (regular qualified doctors who just happen to be Spiritists) treat these obsessions not so much as disease but more as if they are a constraint on both the living patient as well as the obsessing spirit. Hence, the doctors and mediums who take part in ‘dis-obsession’ sessions will counsel the spirit and assist it in obtaining release from the physical host as well as liberating the latter from the spirit. In effect they treat the process as if they are dealing with two patients, one spiritual and one physical.
