Remarkable Healings: A Psychiatrist Discovers Unsuspected Roots of Mental and Physical Illness
While most doctors agree that our emotional state affects our physical health, few would give credence to "spiritual influences". Dr. Modi discovered that during hypnotic therapy many patients claimed to have 'entities" attached to them, living in their energy fields and affecting their behavior. This book demonstrates the technique which she developed to "clear" these energy fields.

This is a remarkable book about "remarkable healings". It's written by a woman psychiatrist who through treatment with hypnotherapy, including past life regression and spirit releasement has healed hundreds, perhaps thousands of patients.
Both the mental and physical problems of her patients turned out to have been caused by:
1) current life traumas incl. prenatal and birth traumas
2) past life traumas
3) possession by earthbound spirits
4) possession by demon spirits
5) soul fragmentation and soul loss.
Demons can occupy different parts of the patients' bodies causing symptoms in these parts. Sometimes these demons are arranged in many layers in their bodies, one on top of another.
These demons are organized by "Satan" and take pleasure in tormenting in heinous ways those whom they have possessed.
Earthbound entities (souls that haven't gone to the Light after death) have possessed many of Modi's patients, and these in themselves may contain demon entities. Many types of demonic devices placed in various parts of the patients' bodies were described by the patients.
It must be noted that everything Modi describes is reportedly what she has been told by her patients, e.g. references to demons, Satan, hell, heaven, angels, etc. These are the terms used by her patients, even though they come from diverse cultures and have different religions, and she says this is why she uses them.
Treatment is carried out by enlisting help from the angels to transform earthbound and demon entities into the Light and send them to the Light. All parts and organs of the patients' bodies were scrubbed by the angels and all negative entities, energies and devices were removed. Their bodies were then filled with the brilliant white Light, shielded by a bubble of Light and covered by spiritual mirrors and rays of white Light. Soul parts that were with Satan and his demons or elsewhere were cleansed, healed before being integrated in the patient,
This is a weighty book amounting to more than 600 pages. It contains comprehensive details of all possible aspects of "possession", and is extremely enlightening (though this is a "dark" subject). It made me think that ALL our various ailments, diseases, etc. may be caused by these possessions, in addition to past life traumas, of course. At any rate, it is one valid explanation of the existence of disease, one that we have heard before, e.g. from Christ, 2000 years ago, modern day evangelists etc. (I have myself seen many examples of healings carried out in this way by the latter.)
At one point early on in the book the thought occurred to me that tha author herself must be under the influence of these demons, since she kept regaling us with multifarious examples of these possessions in her patients, which had the effect of lowering my vibration and making me afraid that I too would be liable to attracting these diabolic beings (or more of them than I already might have) into my system. But then fortunately she began to describe the healings by the angels and also provided us with prayers by means of which we can ask for help and protection. This helped.
But I have to say that the book could easily have been halved in length without this detracting from its message or fullness of necessary information. The author writes extremely simply and clearly. However, the language of the various patients and the demons speaking through them seems identical to that of the author for some reason (she transcribes the tapes of her regressions/treatments).
In short, I found this to be a useful, edifying book, with great credibility (I am not a Christian in the traditional sense, though believing in Christ.) However, it may well have a negative effect on the reader due to the many, many pages of depressing detail of the various cases of possession and violent past life experiences.

This book is confirmation to me of a few things I already believe. 1) That we are much more complex creatures that we can fathom, children of God and active participants in the human family over generations of time, 2) that we lived before - maybe not as different people, but as eternal souls, with experiences that cannot only be recalled in our subconscious minds, but that materialize within us as dreams and memories, in sometimes very complicated ways, and 3) that pains, illness, and other physical problems can be traced back to these memories and if the memories can be cleared and resolved, we can live more peaceful, happier lives.
Dr Modi may not completely understand the work that she does, and who does really understand us except our Creator, but she is doing something good. She is promoting goodness and healing, and I think that is what is important. I disagree that things that emerge from our subconscious minds need to be taken literally. Sometimes they're just figurative and helping us resolve things.
I had a lot of opposition when I considered reading this book, but I am so glad I did. It taught me a lot, and I am very grateful for the knowledge.

Incredible.
"By healing the soul, we can heal the mind and body. We can also realize that all our psychological and physical problems are some type of spiritual crisis, which can be cured by healing the spirit--the soul within" (p. 595). I agree.
So much of healing remains a deep mystery and the author, Dr. Shakuntala Modi, put it correctly when she said we've only tapped the tip of the iceberg.
Thank you for adding your piece of the puzzle to the world Dr. Modi. Truly ground-breaking work.

This book introduced so many new paradigms! It stretched my comfort zone, and I took quite a while to mull over Dr. Modi's experiences, insights. I found the information valuable in broadening my compassion for others, and deepening my understanding for and appreciation of this life .

Confirmation to anyone who has dealt with someone, or who has, a serious mental illness, and the reality of demonic attachment or possession. Excellent, recommended reading!
