How is it done ?
If one is to believe what one sees on the T.V., movies, etc. this sort of thing needs lots of ritual, prayers, people etc. In reality this is not the case. These things can be required but every case is different so it is best if each situation is treated individually.
In this type of work one needs to remember basic principles if one is to succeed regularly and effectively. Negative energies/entities dislike light. This means that if someone has a lot of negative thought energies (thought-forms) in their aura then they can be dissolved by the patient and/or other people directing light in/around the aura of the patient. Negative entities respond to this treatment by leaving the aura of the obsessed/possessed person.
This "light" approach can be done physically and non-physically. The latter is where it matters most and can be achieved by everyone imagining this light permeating the relevant area. One can also pray for assistance from higher spiritual beings as well when one does this. As a negative entity can move from the affected person, to one of the therapists, it is important that the therapist radiate light outwards (from inside themselves) as well.
If entities are simply removed from an affected person, and cannot get into the therapist's aura, then they either get into someone else's aura (causing them possible problems) or they end up wandering around dead, causing problems intentionally, or unintentionally, all around the place. It is important therefore that higher forces not only be asked to guide/protect the people involved from the effects of negative energies/influences but that such influences be removed to the spirit planes.
Other term that are often used for this type of work are "spirit rescue" or "soul rescue". Lastly, it should be kept in mind that if people are going to be involved in some way with spirit communication then they should know how to do such things as rescues.
There are a number of books
listed on this site that deal with the topic
of "rescues" etc. Our booklet on Psychic
Protection , for example, covers this
subject in more detail.
