“We have seen throughout recorded history–people have believed in possession by earthbound entities. That does not prove its validity, of course. Like reincarnation, life after death, the soul, and many other concepts, spirit possession most probably cannot be proven. For me, as a therapist working with troubled, unhappy people in pain – emotional as well as physical – the issue of proof is not a priority. Results are! Because depossession therapy eliminates pain and suffering – in my view – its continued use is justified.” –Dr. Edith Fiore
Welcome to my first Mystical Therapy post—a space where the unconventional is explored, the mystical is honored, and healing goes far beyond the norm. This is healing **beyond the body—beyond the veil, beyond the known—**where mystery becomes medicine.
And what better place to begin than with healing the dead to heal the living through Spirit Release Therapy. Often overlooked or misunderstood, this powerful technique addresses the root cause of emotional, mental, and physical struggles. When the dead are cleared, other healing modalities begin to work more effectively—unlocking deeper transformation, faster recovery, and lasting relief. Until then, the healing process can be painfully slow…or may not unfold at all.
Let’s begin at the threshold—where the living and the departed co-exist—and where true liberation begins.
✨What Is Spirit Release Therapy?
Spirit release therapy, also known as depossession or spirit rescue, is a specialized therapeutic approach refined through years of clinical observation and practice by medical professionals, psychiatrists, therapists, and spiritual healers worldwide. This transformative method addresses the presence of earthbound spirits—souls that, for various reasons, remain tethered to the material realm rather than transitioning into the light after physical death. Commonly referred to as ghosts, these entities may unintentionally or intentionally influence the living, often contributing to detrimental physical and psychological symptoms, profoundly disrupting the well-being of those they attach to.
Through a compassionate and structured process, often utilizing hypnotherapy in a clinical setting, spirit release therapy gently guides these entities toward resolution, fostering healing for both the affected individual and the spirit itself, allowing for a peaceful transition. While this practice is grounded in the understanding that death is a transition rather than an end, belief in an afterlife is not necessary to experience its benefits. In fact, no religious or spiritual beliefs are required for a successful spirit release integration.
While spirit release therapy challenges conventional approaches, it offers a holistic perspective—one that recognizes the deep interconnection between mind, body, spirit, and the unseen dimensions of existence. Pioneering researchers and clinicians, such as Dr. Shakuntala Modi, Dr. Carl Wickland, Dr. Edith Fiore, and Dr. William Baldwin, have extensively documented cases where persistent psychological distress, addiction, and unexplained physical ailments were linked to spiritual interference. Their findings reveal that identifying and facilitating the release of these attachments can lead to profound emotional relief, mental clarity, and overall well-being.
✨The Nature of Earthbound Spirits: Why Some Souls Do Not Cross Over
Lost, restless souls may remain in the earthly realm for various reasons, often becoming stuck due to unresolved emotions, unfulfilled desires, addictions, or attachments that bind them to the living. Some souls linger out of fear—fear of crossing over, fear of judgment or the unknown, or fear of hell and eternal punishment if they were raised with strict religious beliefs. Some remain earthbound due to a traumatic passing, unaware that they have died. Others remain because of deep emotional ties, such as a protective parent unable to leave a child behind. Even when motivated by love, a spirit’s presence can still have harmful effects on the emotional, mental, and physical well-being of those they attach to. On the darker side, some earthbound spirits hold onto anger, betrayal, or a sense of injustice from their lifetime. These souls may seek revenge or attempt to harm individuals they believe wronged them.
✨The Disruptive Influence of Earthbound Spirits
Whether driven by love or resentment, the energy of these disembodied entities can create significant disturbances for those still living, manifesting as unexplained mood swings, anxiety, depression, fatigue, or physical ailments lacking a clear medical cause. In his groundbreaking book, Thirty Years Among the Dead, Dr. Carl Wickland explores the impact of spirit attachment on mental health, documenting cases where such entities may trigger violence, as well as homicidal or suicidal thoughts and behaviors. He presents an alternative perspective on schizophrenia and Multiple Personality Disorder (now Dissociative Identity Disorder), suggesting that many cases of mental illness stem from spirit attachment rather than solely psychological or neurological causes. According to Wickland, earthbound spirits, unable to transition after death, may influence or "possess" susceptible individuals, leading to auditory hallucinations, erratic behavior, and drastic personality shifts.
✨A Holistic Approach to Healing: Mind, Body, Spirit, and the Unseen
Spirit release therapy offers a compassionate and transformative way to address these attachments. Through this method, the earthbound entity is identified, trauma is processed and the restless soul is guided to release its connection to the physical plane, finally transitioning into the light, where it can rejoin loved ones, find peace, receive deep rest, and continue its own unique spiritual journey. The effects for the living individual are often immediate and profound: emotional and mental clarity returns, unexplained symptoms diminish or disappear, and an overall sense of relief and well-being emerges.
By recognizing the profound connection between spirit and matter and addressing the underlying causes of emotional, physical, and spiritual turmoil, spirit release facilitates healing for both the living and the dead. It recognizes that true transformation extends beyond the physical realm, affirming the sacred truth that holistic healing transcends material existence and encompasses the unseen realms of our earthly plane.
✨An Invitation: Embark on a Healing Journey Beyond the Veil and into the Mystical
The insights I share in this blog may challenge what you’ve always believed about life, death, and the unseen forces that shape our reality. I warmly invite you to embark on this journey with me, approaching it with curiosity and an open mind—one that embraces both scientific exploration and the profound, often unexplainable healing experiences that transcend conventional understanding. When we step beyond the limits of what we think we know, we create space for deeper awareness, transformation, and a more expansive view of what it truly means to heal.
In today's world, empirical evidence and clinical research hold undeniable importance, providing valuable frameworks for understanding health and well-being. Yet, healing is deeply personal and often transcends the limits of data, reaching into the emotional, spiritual, and mystical realms. True transformation occurs when we honor both science and the uncharted dimensions of human experience.
Creating a therapeutic environment that respects both scientific rigor and experiential wisdom is essential for fostering innovative healing methods. This approach encourages us to explore the depths of the human experience, empowering individuals to trust their unique healing journeys. By recognizing the full spectrum of healing—bridging the seen and unseen, the tangible and the ethereal—we open the door to deeper transformation. Healing becomes more than just recovery; it evolves into a journey of connection, self-realization, and wholeness—one that extends beyond the individual to uplift and expand our collective consciousness.
✨Final Thoughts
Could some of the struggles we face—the unshakable sadness, the persistent fatigue, addictions, psychological or physical disturbances, the thoughts that feel foreign—be energetic burdens that don’t belong to us? At the very least, it is a profound reminder that we are not just physical beings navigating a material world—we are souls living among souls, intertwined in the sacred play of existence. And sometimes, the most compassionate act we can offer—both to ourselves and to the unseen—is the graceful act of letting go.
