Entity Possession - Freeing the Energy Body of Negative Influences
For centuries Eastern traditions have taken the subject of entity possession quite seriously. Ayurveda, the traditional medicine of India, recognizes bhutas or entities and their influence on mental and physical well-being, as well as the ways they can be evicted from the individual. Now, in a work that is unique in Western literature, Dr. Samuel Sagan examines the problem of these incorporeal beings that attach themselves to human beings as parasites, causing various emotional, mental and physical problems. A landmark study that presents sound analysis and treatment of this phenomenon, Entity Possession demystifies a topic that has long been overdramatized by the folklore surrounding possession and exorcism.Using actual case studies of the "hungry ghost" phenomenon, Dr. Sagan analyzes their mechanisms and motivations, presenting the facts of entity possession, and including many tips on how to dislodge these parasites from the individuals whose lives are thrown out of balance by their presence.

About the author
Samuel Sagan
19 books50 followersBorn in Paris, 18 July 1957, 1:27 PM, Samuel Sagan started practicing meditation during his teens.
This early passion for meditation led him to study medicine at Paris Faculty of Medicine and Sanskrit at Censier Sorbonne Nouvelle University.
Samuel Sagan first geared his medical studies towards neurosurgery and psychiatry, but soon became disabused with the practice of conventional medicine. After completing his medical degree (M.D.) he studied under a Taoist master, acquired degrees in acupuncture and homeopathy and practiced medicine in France with a focus on alternative therapies and healing.
After several long trips to India, he wrote a thesis for a Doctorate of Medicine on the topic of chakras and subtle bodies in the Hindu tradition. For this voluminous work, supported by original Sanskrit translations, he was not only awarded the title of Doctor of Medicine but also a silver medal (2nd highest possible award for a medical thesis in France), and the title of 'faculty prize-winner'. He was elected to the French Society of History of Medicine. He also completed a Master of Sacred Science, and a Doctorate of Divinity from the International Gnostic church.
In the early 1980s, he was so impressed with the results obtained through regression therapy that he made it his main therapeutic modality when working with patients. Over a period of fifteen years, this would lead him to develop the Inner Space Interactive Sourcing technique and the Inner Space Techniques of alternative therapy.
From 1983 to 1987, he stopped all activities to practice full-time meditation.
Feeling the need to establish a center where genuine seekers could receive real training in meditation – with techniques that work! – Samuel Sagan chose to migrate to Australia. In 1987 he arrived in Sydney, where he founded the Clairvision School. He became an Australian citizen in 1989.
Since then, Samuel Sagan's life has been dedicated to teaching meditation and Inner Space Techniques. He has trained hundreds of past-life therapists, taught the Clairvision techniques of awakening the third eye to thousands of people, and given more than 2,000 lectures, transcripts of which amount to approximately 5 million words.
Samuel Sagan is the author of fifteen books. Some of them are manuals, such as A Language to Map Consciousness, Awakening the Third Eye, Regression, Past Life Therapy for Here and Now Freedom. Others are novels, using the storytelling format to pass on teachings about meditation: Sleeper Awaken!, The Return of the Flying Dragon...
There are presently more than 200,000 books in print. Works by Samuel Sagan have been translated into French, Spanish, German, Portuguese and Polish.

I bought this book expecting to receive information on how to get rid of negative entities that attach themselves to people. He does not give you that info. Instead, he teases you with the thought that you will learn this in the last chapter. It doesn't happen. He ends up giving you a lecture on why this is dangerous and how you should let him or one of his trainees do it. Sorry, not everybody can fly to Australia, find one of your students or learn the technique from one of your workshops. I guess you're supposed to live with this possession instead of trying to get rid it yourself. Extremely, extremely disappointing.
The only reason I gave it two stars instead of one was because he redeemed himself with his very thorough explanation on how and why these negative forms can attach themselves to a person. Very enlightening. Too bad you can't get the whole package with this book. The whole book was nothing more than a stick with a carrot being held out in front of a donkey.

Good information and corresponds to what I have seen in my work. Three stars because I would have liked more information about freeing the energy, as promised by the title, rather than just encouraging them to seek help from someone trained. Maybe a more advanced version of the book would be good.

Samuel Sagan comes up with a very solid theoretical background about the subject of entities, which makes this book one of my all-time favourites in that area. I always recommend it to people who wish to know more about this fascinating subject!
However, when it comes to the actual clearing of entities, he advocates for his own method, which may be safe but is neither the only one nor the fastest available...
