Remarkable Healings: A Psychiatrist Discovers Unsuspected Roots of Mental and Physical Illness [Paperback]

Shakuntala Modi (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 1, 1998

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.

Amazon.com Review

Over the centuries, doctors have tried countless therapies to battle mental illness--from shock therapy to drilling holes in the head--and have had little success. In Remarkable Healings, Dr. Shakuntala Modi offers a revolutionary psychotherapeutic treatment that dips into the controversial realm of past-life regression and demonic possession. It might sound like she is straying outside the bounds of credible psychiatry, but compared with some of the methods her peers still employ, Modi's therapy is conspicuously humane, preserving the patients' physical health and concentrating on repairing their problems at a fundamental level.

Interestingly enough, Remarkable Healings is not based on Modi's own religious or spiritual beliefs, but is pieced together entirely from the reports of her patients, who discover under hypnosis that their psychological and physiological problems stem from supernatural causes such as trauma in a past life or the interference of a discarnate entity. The picture that emerges is an odd mixture of Christian motifs involving God, Satan, and hell combined with other ideas such as karma and reincarnation. Modi is the first to suggest that this milieu may simply be a construction of her patients' subconscious, but stresses that treatment based on this system has a much higher success rate than conventional chemical and talk therapy.

Remarkable Healings could be seen simply as well-written entertainment revealing some of the darkest aspects of the human psyche, or as a source of instruction for defending against demonic possession, or even as a message of inspiration. However, perhaps the most far-reaching effects of Remarkable Healings will come from those therapists who are willing to set aside their aversion to unconventional methodologies and pass on the remarkable healings that Modi has discovered. --Brian Patterson

5.0 out of 5 stars Use the techniques outlined in this book to heal yourself. May 5, 2000

By Joanne Craft-Lane

Format:Paperback

This book took me by surprise. The first surprise was that ALL of us can be possessed by demons and earth bound spirits (discarnates) and not even know it! How subtle and secretive the dark forces can be. Dr. Modi, M.D., is a psychiatrist who, to her surprise, found other beings inhabiting the souls and bodies of her patients. It was these beings who claimed to deliberately cause their "host" problems. The detailed descriptions these demons (some of them fallen angels) gave on how they became evil is fascinating. Those imprisoned angels (after being freed) gave Dr. Modi very detailed descriptions on how they were trained and forced to do evil. They describe how they were tricked into becoming dark and why they could not return to the light. I was also surprised to learn that these possessing beings can cause us REAL suffering (physical, emotional and mental). Which explains why some conditions never clear up no matter how much medicine we take. My final surprise was how powerless they really are when discovered and how fearful THEY are of the angels and God's Light. Many of Dr. Modi's patients had miraculous healings. This made me take a close look at my own chronic pain and it's possible root cause. Dr. Modi describes how quickly and easily she was able to help her patients free themselves of these destructive influences. Using her techniques, I have been successful in ridding my own long-standing pain and suffering that I thought could not be cured. The Bible tells us "Physician, heal thyself" and Dr. Modi's book gives us the knowledge of HOW to do just that! This book can help everyone to heal him or herself.

5.0 out of 5 stars finally get to root cause of psyche and health problems October 23, 1998

By [e-mail]

Format:Paperback

This really "remarkable" book by Dr. Modi is a practical no nonsense book than enables us not only to heal longstanding psychological and health problems, but reveals the answers to mysteries that have puzzled people for millenia. Dr. Modi, M.D., is a psychiatrist who saw the limitations of traditional psychotherapy and drug prescriptions for most mental and physical health problems. Using hypnosis as a tool, she was able to interview the "soul" of the patient to find out the cause of their problems. To her surprise, she found not only the soul, but other beings were often inside the person, entities, discarnated, demons, inner children, past life personalities. By clearing away all this debris, the soul was able to start healing its missing and wounded parts, resulting from traumas of this and past lives. Many patients had miraculous healing from just one or 2 sessions! She interviews actual demons and ghosts and gets detailed answers as to how they get their training in hell, what motivates them, and how to free them into the light. She finds how past life traumas and relationships determine who we know in our present life, and what health problems we now have. She describes how we choose all major life events, both positive and negative for soul growth. All of this is done without religiosity or theory. It is all practical for the healing of bodies, minds and souls. I myself am a very successful health practitioner. after just 4 days of applying her approach with patients I'm also getting remarkable results. One lady I have given dozens of remedies for migraines, finally got them licked for good when we successful persuaded two black demon to leave her head. Jesus casting out demons was no metaphor, it works.... This reading is not for the faint of heart. There is detailed description of torture and suffering, often triggering similar memories in the reader. But if you want to help yourself, or according to Dr. Modi, 92% percent of people who you know, read this book, today, you won't be able to put it down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best mental health therapy June 23, 2000

By Luc Therrien

Format:Paperback

It's the best book I've read since the Holographic Universe (Michael Talbot) and Life between Life (Joel Whitton and Joe Fischer). I've grown disatisfied with the current schools of thought on treating mental health disorders. Whether it's the bio-medical approach or the Jungian approach, none of them seem to have any lasting impact... until now. Dr. Modi's approach restores my hope in mental health therapy. Whatever your mental health problem is, seek out therapists who use her approach. It's not only your best hope, it may be your only hope.

5.0 out of 5 stars Attachments of Darkness are real, and can be removed November 25, 2004

By L. Haney

Format:Paperback

This book looks at attachments of darkness, spirits, and how they suppress the body and mind. There is good and powerful information here. I have read many books on the subject, and have been trying to fit in where alternative medicine and these "things" that I know fit together. If you want to go even further, about where these things come from, and more precise methods to "dis-attach" them, pick up Dr. Snow's book on alternative medicine, hands on healing and prayer power, called The Power of Divine, a Healer's Guide on Miracles. The changes that occur often include "undiagnosisable" medical and emotional problems disappearing. Lives change because of this information, and it changed mine. Read these books!

5.0 out of 5 stars Should be 10 stars June 11, 2011

By A. F. Z.

Format:Paperback

I was a patient of Dr. Modi. Everything she writes in her books is true. I initially saw her for acute depression, loss of short term memory, and psychic incidents entering my life. During treatment I was cured of the following things:
A. Acute Depression
B. Loss of Short Term Memory improved
C. She helped me to understand that I was actually having psychic occurrences brought about by a psychic opening and a kundalini uprising.
D. Needle phobia so bad that sometimes Alien Hand Syndrome would happen. My left hand would shoot out and grab the wrist of a nurse or doctor holding a needle and restrain them until my brain took over.
E. A phobia about touching certain kinds of cloth or fabric.
G. Fear of being crushed.

Many of the problems were healed through past life regression where returning to the precipitating incidents, healing the emotions, forgiveness, and understanding allowed the damage to drop away from me. Other problems were solved by releasing human spirits, minor demonic possession, and releasing and reclaiming soul attachments.

It may sound ridiculous but I tell you it is true. I am a highly intelligent, very well educated (Ph.D.) person who held a number of very responsible positions in my community over the years. I am now retired.

I currently use my reveled psychic abilities including a talent for healing for the good of others. I've seen several physical miracles occur while doing healings. I work only at church and there is no charge for my services although you may make a donation to the church.

I believe so strongly in Dr. Modi's work that I went out and became a Certified Hypnotist and a Certified Instructor of Hypnotism recognized by the largest of the national hypnosis organizations.... I help people using hypnotism much as Dr. Modi does although I do not pretend to have her knowledge or ability. I have released demonic and human spirits. I've used past life regression to heal some remarkable things even malignant melanoma.

My education as a hypnotist cost me about $10,000 but I don't charge for treatments. I do accept donations.

If you want treatment, don't fool around. Dr. Modi is the real authority. Go to her. I and the few other hypnotists that do this kind of work are second best. Many hypnotists are not competent to do this work because of lack of understanding. Read more ›
