Psychic Healing .

[Guest guest]

Dear List,

 

Yesterday at 8.00 PM IST the Discovery channel aired a programme on psychic

healing. It was titled Discovery Spotlight I think. It was a mind blowing

programme but I was extremely tired and could not catch the names of the

characters properly. I will however try to give a rough account and try to be as

accurate as possible. I'm sorry I do not remember the name of the place. It

seemed like Spain I think.

 

It featured the work of a healer called John. He is a healer claiming to be an

instrument in the hands of souls who wish to benefit humanity. People usually go

to him after being condemned by the mainstream method. The programme focussed on

a child who suffered from muscular dystrophy, a lady with multiple cancerous

tumours, a lady paralysed by accident, a person with a defective heart valve and

certain other patients. Two scientists, one studying the level of pain in the

patients and also mapping their brains, and a quantum physics specialist Dr

Gautam Goswami, were also featured.

 

What immediately drew my attention was the psychic surgery being performed on

camera. I would not have believed what I have seen had not the Discovery crew

filmed it. It was awesome. The doctor who was observing declared that it was

highly unusual that the surgeries being performed, without anaesthesia, could be

tolerated by the patients without even flinching a muscle. The minimum of blood

flow considering the opening of the wounds was another surprise, he said. The

doctor was also amazed that such critical surgery like removal of deep seated

tumours lodged in throat and spine could be performed only with a knife and

scissors.

 

The patients were being taken to a triangle stuck on the wall when the surgery

was being performed. The doctor also said that while his instruments showed

extreme trance like activity in the brain of the healer, there was a significant

reduction in the brain activity of the patients. He said such trance like states

could be induced only after a lot of effort but this healer was able to get into

trances in seconds. The healer also healed with touch where surgery was not

required.

 

The quantum physicist said that such healings are often ascribed to placebo

therapy. But the effects of placebo therapy do not last long whereas the

patients here reported long term effects. He said the quantum theory of the

universe could support existence of energy after death and hence the

communication of energy between the dead and the living. He said if we view the

world in terms of energy then many miracles could be explained. The doctor also

reported how he had examined Reiki healers and observed raised energy levels

around their hands during the healing process. The scientists said one had to

have an open mind as many concepts that have been doggedly defended as science

have been changed later based on further evidence.

 

Not all people were totally healed but all of them felt better, happier and in

more control over themselves. Not only the patients but the accompanying

relatives too felt better. An young lady described how her family had disowned

her for falling for such "trash" but later her recovery had made the same people

approach the healer with their own problems. The patients said the only problem

was that they had to be strict vegetarians for a period of 40 days after

treatment and also had to abstain from sex.

 

The spirits occupying the healer also instructed a relapsed case to revert

back to conventional medicine and this time she was healed completely. The lady

ascribed the cure to the spirits and the healer. Most of the patients were full

of faith but some were also sceptical. However they developed faith after being

benefitted. Faith seemed to play a key part in the whole process.
