Transcript of Spirit Release Therapy Session

There is much fear and misunderstanding surrounding the concept of Spirit Release. Many view it as a form of Exorcism, but nothing could be further from the truth. Spirit Release Therapy (SRT) is a very gentle, loving and respectful way of helping both the client/host and the entity(s) move in a direction of greater improvement; toward health and wholeness on the part of the client and toward spiritual progression for the entity. The word “therapy” can be a bit misleading as it generally refers to an ongoing process. However, in SRT all of the work is accomplished in a single session; the goal of which is to return the errant spirit into the light. Exorcism, on the other hand, is anything but gentle, loving or respectful. The exorcist uses ancient prayers, holy water, incense and invokes the name of, an ostensibly, loving God to condemn the demon spirit to hell for all eternity. Also, exorcisms can take weeks to accomplish. However, SRT treats all entities, human or demon alike, in the very same fashion. Both are creations of, and loved by, an incredibly benevolent Creator. What mother, regardless of what her child may have done, would want to see them suffer for all eternity? Is God any less loving?

I am not trying to challenge the personal belief system of anyone, but my experience has led me to do the work in this way and I think the results speak for themselves. I am including a session of a normal human being, who, out of concern for his family, refused to go into the light. After working with him, through a psychic and his Guardian Angel, he was ready to make the transition.

In the future, I will publish a transcript of working with a demon, so that you may compare the two and decide for yourselves if the Creator of all things would find this work commensurate with unconditional love.

SRT Session

A woman from another country had recently lost her husband, Romero, in a car accident and she had this feeling that he was still around her. She wanted to help him but she didn’t know what to do. While speaking on the phone to a friend of hers in America, she shared her concerns. Her American friend was a mutual acquaintance and contacted me to see if anything could be done. The session begins by invoking the aid of St. Padre Pio and St. Michael the Archangel.

Psychic: Padre and Michael are here.
Me: Can you bring in Romero for us?
Psychic: Yes, he is here.
Me: Romero, would you mind if I speak with you?
Romero: I don’t know you but go ahead.
Me: I know that you don’t, but your wife, Virginia reached out to a girlfriend of her’s in the United States and her friend reached out to us because she knows we do this kind of work.
Romero: But why doesn’t she want me with her?
Me: Who?
Romero: Virginia.
Me: She does want you with her and she is trying to help you. Do realize that you have died?
Romero: Well I know that our car was in an accident and since then I have been a little confused. I can’t get to her and I can’t make her talk to me. She keeps trying to tell me something about going into the light, but I just want to be with her.
Me: I understand what you are saying, and you are correct in saying that it is a little confusing, but we are here to help you if that is all right with you. Also, Virginia is right to invite you to go into the light. First of all, do you know that you have a Guardian Angel?
Romero: Well I was taught that we all have a Guardian Angel.
Me: Do you know that he is there with you now, and that you can see and talk with him?
Romero: It must be this strange guy who has been following me around.
Me: That’s the guy. They never leave your side. The difference is, now that you have lost your body—at this point, we both know that nobody dies—but now that you have lost your body, why don’t you ask that strange guy if he is your Guardian Angel?
Romero: He says yes and my name is Roberto.
Me: If you look into his eyes you will see that he is incredibly kind and really is there to help you.
Romero: I think you’re right.
Me: The thing is now that you have lost your body—I don’t like to say died, because that’s really not true—but now that you have lost your body, you need to move on with your own journey. However, that doesn’t mean that you have to leave Virginia behind and forget her. It means that when you go into the light you are able to realize more of your own potential and you can be more like a Guardian Angel to her. You can help her in so many ways, as well as yourself.
Romero: My son… He is… He is in the hospital.
Me: Yes, he survived the accident and he is in the hospital and he is being taken care of. The thing is, if you go into the light and you begin to realize your full potential you will be in a much better position to help your son and Virginia.
Romero: But even though, as you say, I am not in the body.
Me: That is correct, but how much help have you been so far, since the accident.
Romero: Well I cannot get through to her.
Me: And you will not be able to get through to her unless something changes.
Romero: Then how can I help?
Me: That’s why I’m here and that is why your Guardian Angel is here. We are both here to show you a new way to help them.
Romero: I don’t know you, but your voice sounds like I should trust.
Me: Good. You may want to ask your Guardian Angel if we are being truthful with you. He must tell you the truth at all times and he must do your bidding.
Romero: Okay, let me ask. He says yes. You can help me and then I can help her and my little son.
Me: Okay, is there anyone that you know who has also lost their body, but loved you a great deal while they were on Earth?
Romero: My Grandmother.
Me: We are now going to ask Roberto to help us. We are going to ask him to open the light and in the light you will see your Grandmother, because she hasn’t died either.
Romero: She is there! And she is waving.
Me: Yes, of course. She wants you to come to her.
Romero: But if I go to her, I will loose… Virginia.
Me: Ask your Grandmother if you will loose Virginia if you go into the light?
Romero: She says no. There will be a delay for a little second and then I will be able to help her. I can help her and I can still love her.
Me: Do you believe her?
Romero: Yes, she is my Grandmother.
Me: Okay, are you willing to go into the light?
Romero: Yes.
Me: It must be your choice, but there is nothing that you can do for Virginia now.
Romero: But I see two others. Are they with us as well?
Me: That is probably St. Michael and Padre Pio, they are here helping us as well.
Romero: They shake their heads, yes.
Me: They are spirit guides that are always here to help me when I do this kind of work. Ordinarily, I would always ask for their intervention to open the light in the past, but I think it is more respectful to ask your Guardian Angel to do that. But they are here to provide protection and to help in any way that they can.
Romero: That is good.
Me: Are you ready to go with your Grandmother at this time?
Romero: It is a big step.
Me: yes it is. Is there anything else that I could tell you that would help you.
Romero: No, I think I sense the honesty and the fact that there are so many here to help me so that I can help my family. I think I am ready.
Me: Okay, all you need to do is to walk toward your Grandmother.
Romero: I say good-bye to all of you and I thank you.
Me: You are most welcome and I am very happy that we could help.
Psychic: Okay, he is gone.
Me: Is there anything else that needs to be addressed?
Psychic: Padre says there is nothing more. That was all we needed. It was just a matter of getting him to believe.

SPIRITS IN THE LIGHT – SPIRITS THAT REMAIN EARTHBOUND

Spirit release covers a broad range of situations. For those that have “died”, lost their bodies, it refers to helping them to release the preoccupation with physical existence, let go of their fear and find their way back into the light or the perfect unity from which they came. For those that were angels and were never incarnate, it is a matter of helping them to understand that they are beings of light that have volunteered to hold a negative polarity in service to humanity. It is not a simple matter of giving erudite explanations because these spirits have been at their task for millennia and are convinced that what they do is whom they are. Rather, it is about treating these spirits with a great deal of compassion and calling upon the Archangels for their aid and assistance. After all, these beings must choose to return to the light, they cannot be compelled. The final entity, though rare, is the most insidious. It is a nondescript energy of fear and hatred usually associated with a physical place. Many atrocities may have occurred in this place and there is a widespread belief that the place is cursed. If enough energy is put into a belief, it becomes a reality. In essence, it is just energy. The resolution comes when the negative aspect of the energy can be released. The most powerful force in the universe, love, can accomplish this. Once this energy has lost its destructive component, it can be returned to Gaia to be used, as she will, toward her own betterment.

When the spirits of human beings or individual aspects, “lifetimes” of the soul are released and the body ceases to function, they either choose to go into the light or they remain Earthbound. If they go into the light, this particular lifetime comes to an end. The spirits are warmly received and celebrated by family and friends. Just because they are in the light doesn’t infer that their existence is one of complete nirvana. After the celebration of its return to the unity of all that is, the soul experiences a life review when it is ready for it. If it is carrying the weight of too many painful memories or self-recriminations for its actions it may create a particular paradise for itself that makes it easier for it to heal. There are also angels and guides to help with this process. Sometimes it takes a while until the soul is ready to release some of the self-judgment it carries against itself. Again, everything has to do with freewill; nothing will be taken from you. When you are ready, you will release those energies.

When the soul is ready, it will experience the life review. This has absolutely nothing to do with any kind of judgment. It is merely going through a replay of your life from the perspective of those you interacted with. You are able to feel how your words, actions, lack of actions, beliefs, and biases impacted others. If for example, you caused the death of another person, you will not only feel what the victim felt, but the feelings of the victim’s family, friends and associates as well as the consequences they had experienced as a result of that loss. On the other hand, if you were instrumental in saving a life, you would feel the love, adulation, and relief of the family, friends and associates as well as the consequences of having that individual remain in their lives. The life review is about learning. What good does it do to have lifetime after lifetime on planet Earth if we are oblivious as to what we may have brought about? Remember, any pain that you experience in this process, is pain that you brought with you and it will remain until you chose to let it go.

I realize that I am discussing the life review in three-dimensional or linear terms, but it is the only language I have. In reality, it is a multi-dimensional experience where you experience every event, every nuance, as well as their repercussions just as though you perceive with the mind of God. You are able to observe everything about everything without any kind of filter. Once the review is completed and you are able to release every form of negativity, the veil of forgetfulness is completely pulled back and you are ready to begin the planning for the next incarnation.

I realize that I haven’t addressed the relationship between ourselves and the spirit of our loved ones in the light. As they are in a much higher dimension, they have the freedom to be anywhere and everywhere at any given moment. If we communicate with them, they will absolutely hear us, as they are around us all of the time. They can communicate with us as well and do so through dreams, a feeling, or manipulating something meaningful in our environment. They may also make their presence known as odor, a sound or an apparition. The love they felt for us, they will always feel, only now it is many times stronger. You may chose to interact with the physical being that you once knew, but that was only an aspect of their soul that became fully reintegrated with their higher self once they returned to the light. The person that they were in their last incarnation can be fully present to you, but they are so much more. In all likelihood, they are also a grandfather, a great aunt, a best friend, a sister, and a mortal enemy. They are more akin to an angel and though they care for you deeply, they are aware of a bigger picture and would never attempt to influence your beliefs or free will. Many people say that they are unable to communicate with their loved ones who have transitioned. The problem usually lies in the fact that they are expecting their relatives to communicate as a three-dimensional entity and they are unwilling to open themselves up to other possibilities.

For those spirits that choose to remain earthbound, the story is a little different. Rather than transitioning into the light, they may begin a new earthly journey in the form of a disembodied spirit, and may or may not be aware that they have undergone a physical demise, especially if the shift was quick and caught them unaware. One of the things I have found, in doing this kind of work, is that the awareness you have of yourself changes little as a result of the event. Usually, the first reaction to a car or plane crash that claims your life is one of surprise. The victim may think, “Wow, how did I avoid getting killed?” They are aware of themselves so they know they are not dead. However… something has changed. They still see themselves in a physical body, though that may simply be a construct of consciousness. Psychics often refer to this phenomenon as the astral body. People who meditate and have out-of-body experiences will sense the astral body. Also, people who have a near-death incident are aware of themselves and everything that is going on around them, though they may show absolutely no brain activity on the monitors. They see their loved ones, the hospital staff, people in the waiting room, etc. but aren’t conscious of having walked to them. Their thoughts, not their feet, seem to take them from place to place or from person to person. At first, it is peculiar for them but one of the things that humans do best is adapt. If in your lifetime you were to have a major stroke or some other significant brain injury everything would change for you but eventually, you would find a new normal.

It is always the “now” moment as time does not appear to exist in this dimension. Consequently, there is no concept of it having passed. One of the things that I always ask spirits is to have them tell me what year it is. In every instance, they will give me the year that they died. If a great deal of time has passed since their physical demise, they are usually disbelieving when I attempt to make them aware of it, which tells me that they are not perceiving their surroundings exactly as they did when they had a body. Another strange thing about their existence is that people ignore them and this is very confusing for them, particularly when it concerns family. They do, however, have the ability to interact with other spirits and just like people, some are friendly and accommodating and others are not. They can also communicate with children and people who have psychic abilities. They find it peculiar that they can communicate with some people but not others and usually chalk it up to an idiosyncrasy of the new normal. Also, all of them are able to see their guardian angels, which never leave their sides, but they tend to be unaware of their identity. To their way of thinking, it is just that weird guy or gal that they can’t quite seem to shake, who, when they engage them, are usually saying things about the light. However, given your freewill, angels do not have the ability to influence you in or out of the body unless you give them permission. Further, as I mentioned before, the journey of a lifetime does not end until the spirit returns to the light.

Spirits that have not gone into the light usually remain earthbound for one of several reasons, fear, following their desires, or a peculiar mishap. Fear is almost always as a result of religious conditioning. Most humans suffer from low self-esteem, as they believe they were conceived in sin and born dirty. Further, if they have not done enough to expiate the negative consequences of their sinfulness they will be judged, by an otherwise infinitely loving being, and then sent to a place of eternal punishment. Realizing that where they are in the moment is considerably more attractive than eternal damnation, they choose not to go into the light and receive their ultimate sentence. These souls have a tendency to wander aimlessly for hundreds and perhaps thousands of our years until something occurs to alter the situation either by making the choice to go into the light or being motivated toward another circumstance.

Souls that choose to follow their desires may manifest that choice in a variety of ways. It may be that they are a parent and their death occurs when a child is very young and their maternal/paternal instincts prohibit them from moving on, not realizing that they can be ever so much more effective once they are in the light. Likewise, someone who is over-controlling and possessive of another may not wish to give up control of that person. It may also be that a human was incredibly materialistic and put all of his/her effort into acquiring possessions. Once having attained them, there is no desire to let someone else control them. As if to say, “If I can’t take them with me, I’m not going!” It is not unusual for these situations to end in a haunting of one form or another. Then there are those that suffer from addictions, whether it is drugs, alcohol, gambling, s*x or some other form. One common denominator with addictions is that the victim “knows” they must acquire their craving at all costs if they are to survive. Since their physical demise hasn’t impacted their mindset nothing has changed and they are not about to be directed somewhere else where the opportunity to address their addictions may not be present. The same may be true for someone who has spent their life in garnering power, either in business or politics. If power is the only concept that holds meaning for them, they are not likely to leave the arena where it can be found and exercised. Obviously, the topic of following one's desires has not been exhausted but this gives a basic representation.

The next category, I refer to as a peculiar mishap. I might also refer to it as an accident but that seems an inaccurate reference. One of the things I am referring to is when a spirit gets trapped inside the energetic field that surrounds another’s body forming an attachment. This field has been referred to as an aura, a merkaba, or an electromagnetic field. Regardless of what it is called, once a spirit becomes trapped, it remains trapped until it is released. If it is not released in the current lifetime of the person carrying it, the spirit will somehow remain with the akashic record of the carrier and it will once again be trapped within them when they return to the planet in their next incarnation. Despite the number of lifetimes a spirit may be trapped, time does not pass for them. In spite of all of this, I do not believe that the trapped spirit is aware of the successive physical aspects of the carrier’s soul, because the core identity remains the same. Looking over all of this, it begins to sound like a lot of falderal and gobbledegook. It is very difficult to explain these occurrences in three-dimensional terms because they are multi-dimensional in nature. I do not understand the mechanics of what I am trying to make clear but I have experienced them again and again.

When a spirit becomes attached to a living individual, both experience a change of sorts. For the physical being, there are a variety of symptoms that may begin to be noticed. The severity of these symptoms will usually depend upon the strength of the character of the spirit along with its intent to achieve its goals.

§ Low energy level
§ Impulsive behavior
§ Memory problems
§ Poor concentration
§ Ideas and opinions that are foreign
§ Severe headaches or migraines
§ Inner voice(s) speaking to you
§ Character shifts or mood swings
§ Abuse of substances (alcohol, to***co drugs or food)
§ Sudden onset of physical problems with no apparent cause
§ Sudden onset of anxiety/depression with no apparent cause
§ Strong emotional and/or physical reaction to a particular topic

One of the most confusing symptoms of an attachment is the unusual ideation that may take place—ideas, perceptions and awareness that appear to come from outside the physical host. However, since most people are neither aware of nor believe in attachments, they are at a loss to explain where this information is coming from. The problem is further exacerbated by the fact that all of the information a person processes does not come from the brain. Intuition, psychic awareness, episodes of déjà vu, and memories of one’s past lives cannot possibly reside in the brain, and yet, these memories can be called up under hypnosis. The best explanation I can offer is that this information is contained in the energetic field around the body. A field that comes fully developed when one arrives on the planet.

Nevertheless, once an idea shows up in the brain, the host has no choice but to attribute the idea to him/herself because that is his/her life experience. Further, because we are multi-dimensional beings with a myopic three-dimensional bias, we tend to dismiss those anomalies that do not conform to our known reality. The brain is like a computer and data contained therein must be entered to be available. Awareness, on the other hand, draws from both synaptic storage and the energetic field, and then brings the information to the brain so the host can understand it. Like a computer, a machine that cannot tell who is tapping on its keys, the brain cannot distinguish between information contained in its own field or if it is coming from a foreign entity that may be present. It is not only thoughts that get communicated. Fears, symptoms, phobias, cultural preferences, and even the ability to speak another language may be in the mix.

Finally, the second type of peculiar mishap takes place when you are approached by a demon and told that because of your misdeeds you belong in hell and their job is to acquaint you with your new duties. I know a lot of you will throw this book down at this point and say, “Now you have gone too far. I have gone through a spiritual awakening and I know that the all-loving, benevolent God did not create a hell.” You would be absolutely correct in your burgeoning awareness of God, He did not create hell, but nevertheless, it exists. One of the truths of the universe is that whatever we direct our energy toward, it becomes manifest. Is there a Santa Clause? Absolutely! For some it is a jolly old man in a red suit. For others, it is an energy that pervades the Christmas season bestowing joy and goodwill. Whether you believe in Santa or not, there are countless newspaper articles, books, and movies all supporting the existence of him in our culture. How much human energy has been directed toward the concept of hell? Do you think you would make much headway in trying to convince a fundamentalist Christian that hell doesn’t exist? The fact of the matter is, for the fundamentalist, it does.

Now, if you held such a belief and you knew yourself to be unworthy of the light, in all likelihood, you would resign yourself to what the demon was telling you. This does not interfere with your free will. The demon told you something and you made a choice to accept it, probably because it agreed with your belief system. Again, it is a choice and not a sentence. The interesting thing in all of this is that you can make a choice to leave that all behind you at any time, though that is unlikely to happen if your belief system remains unaltered.

My First Encounter With Spirit Release

Shortly after finishing my Doctoral degree in psychology I began seeing clients. I had been around the block, as they say, and I had seen my share of unusual things. After all, I had done a tour in the Navy and spent about 8 more years in the Merchant Marines. I left sailing to enter the Jesuits (a religious order of Roman Catholic priests) and I was with them for about 12 years. During that time, I spent two years in Southern Sudan, Africa helping to build and teaching in a Jesuit High School there. The experience was further heightened by the fact that Sudan was immersed in a severe famine, which was exacerbated by a protracted civil war. While studying my theology I also worked as an assistant chaplain to the men on death row at San Quentin Prison. I had been there, done that and thought I was ready for anything. Little did I know… My world was about to be changed by the next several clients I would see. I was about to face a challenge that would rock my world, my faith and my practice. It came to me pretty much the way everything else did, it was dropped in my lap without any pretense or warning.

One day, a client came into my office looking for help. Little did I know that her visit was going to dramatically change the way I approach therapy from that day forward. The client was a physically attractive, 36-year old woman. She was well-groomed, polite, educated and appeared to come from a middle-class background. For the sake of anonymity, I will refer to her as Betty. She told me she had found me by surfing the Web looking for therapists who did past life regression therapy. The problem, as she explained it, was her relationship with her husband. She had been to many therapists and counselors for this problem but none were able to help her. She was now certain that the problem must lie in a past life conflict as she had tried everything else. She told me she was coming to the end of her rope and she was certain that her husband was as well.

She told me she was married to a wonderful man whom she loved dearly. However, occasionally when they were having a conversation, Betty would begin to get agitated and then angry for no apparent reason. Soon she would be yelling at her husband and saying hurtful things. “Most of the time,” she remarked, “I don't even know what brings it on. I just can't seem to control myself. Rather than getting angry, my husband will calm me down and go through the conversation again with me. He begins by saying, this is what I said and this is what I meant to convey by it. When he does this, I can see that I have no reason to be upset. I apologize and everything goes back to normal. Only it doesn't, really. These irrational outbursts are becoming more and more frequent and I know that they're taking a toll on the relationship. My husband is a wonderful man and I don't want to lose him.” I asked Betty if she could give me any specifics on what set her off but she told me she could not remember any, except to say that they were all pretty trivial.

We talked a little bit about the procedures involved in past life regression therapy. I wanted to make sure that Betty understood what we were going to do and that she did not have any apprehensions or unrealistic expectations. Betty told me that she had never been hypnotized before. I explained the nature of hypnosis to her and answered all of her questions. She was very calm and relaxed and appeared ready to begin work. Betty was an excellent hypnotic subject and moved into an altered state quite easily. Since this was her first time with hypnosis, I applied some deepening techniques to further enhance the altered state. Eventually, we got to a point where she was seeing herself standing before a beautiful archway that contained a curtain of light. I told her that on the count of three I was going to ask her to walk through that archway and find herself in a different place and a different time. I further assured her that her own unconscious would pick a lifetime that would shed some light on the current situation. I began to count one... two...

"I don't think they're going to let me do that." I heard Betty’s voice say, in a quiet, non-committal, trance-like way. I was a little taken aback because I had never experienced anything like this before. "Who is not going to let you do this?" I asked. "I don't know who they are but I don't think they're going to let me do this" she replied, again in that trance-like voice. I was stumped and not quite sure where to go from here. My mind was racing trying to think of what to do next when Betty exclaim, with considerable distress in her voice, “I have a terrible headache. It hurts so much. Make it go away, Make it go away!”
I had never encountered an abreaction like this before in hypnotic work, particularly since Betty had not yet been directed to experience an altered reality. However, it did feel like I was back on somewhat familiar ground because I had done hypnotic work with people who had migraine headaches. I calmed Betty down and asked her to address the headache and to inquire why it appeared.

Again, in that dreamy, altered-state voice I heard, “Headache, why are you here?” Then a big smile formed on her face and in a slightly surprised voice, I heard her exclaim, “Oh! It’s Phil!” “Who is Phil?” I asked. “He was a neighbor of mine. We were just friends. He wanted to have an affair with me but I didn’t want anything to do with it. I was happily married and besides he was too unstable and had a lot of problems. He eventually committed su***de by shooting himself in the head.”

I asked if I could talk to Phil and got the surprise of my life. Betty, who was still deeply ensconced in an altered state of consciousness, slowly turned her head toward me and with her eyes still closed, said, in a much deeper voice, “Who the hell are you?” It was disquieting to hear this crude interrogative coming from my very polite client. I explained that I was Betty’s therapist and that she had come here seeking my help. I then asked Phil, “Do you understand that you are dead?” With a derisive attitude, he explained, “That’s stupid, If I were dead would I be here talking to you?” I had to admit his logic. I then tried to get him to accept that he had nobody. But apparently, from his perspective, he still did. He admitted that he had attempted to kill himself once, but it hadn’t worked. However, he continued, he must have caused some damage because everything has been different since that time.

I took Phil back in his memory to the point of the attempted su***de and asked him to turn around and look behind himself. He saw his body lying on the floor in a pool of blood and realized that he had indeed transitioned. He told me that after that event people had begun to ignore him and he found that to be very frustrating. He went to see his friend Betty. When she ignored him, he grabbed her by the shoulders intending to shake her but instead found himself inside of her.

I asked Phil if he had seen a bright white light after he had left his body. He told me that he did but that he could not go into it because he was Catholic. I didn’t quite understand what he was trying to tell me and asked him if he could clarify it for me. He told me that su***de was a mortal sin and if he went into the light he would be judged and sent to hell. So, he decided to stay where he was.

“If you are Betty’s friend, why are you causing so much difficulty for her?” I asked. His answer was that he was not trying to cause trouble but he did not like being in bed with that other guy (Betty’s husband). I told Phil that Betty chose to be with her husband. However, Phil still thought he could win her over if he loved her enough. Especially, since Betty’s husband was beginning to exhibit signs of frustration over Phil’s intervention. I finally got him to understand that Betty was not growing closer to him. “In fact, she came here looking for help because your actions are making her suffer.” He felt bad about that but admitted that he did not know how to leave her body.

I told him if he thought about the light it would appear for him. He told me he could see the light now and added, “But I already told you why I can’t go into it.” I tried to encourage him, telling him that everything would be fine and that he would not be judged for his actions. To which he replied with a sneer in her voice, “I don’t believe you. You would tell me anything to get me out of here.” Actually, I had labored under the same kind of Catholic programming and I wasn’t entirely convinced of the veracity of my statements either. “Is there was anyone that has crossed over that you would believe?” “I had an aunt once who was very kind. She never lied to me.” Hoping against hope, I told him that if he looked into the light he would see his aunt. Phil said that he could see her. I instructed him to ask his aunt if he would be judged. “She says that I won’t be judged. She says that I will be warmly received and that I don’t have to suffer anymore.” “Do you believe her?” “Yes, I do.” “Are you ready to go with her?” “Yes, I am.” “All you have to do is walk toward her.”

Betty told me she could see him going into the light. “He stopped,” she said. “He wants me to deliver a message to his wife and little girl but he doesn’t want you to hear it.” “If it is something you are willing to do, please proceed”. Betty sat there for a few moments as though she were listening, occasionally nodding her head. “Yes, of course, I’ll tell them... He’s gone.”

“How are you feeling now?” “I feel fine... except now I have a pain in my neck and left shoulder.” Again I instructed her to address the pain and we found it to be George. She told me that George was another friend of hers who had died in a car accident. He went through the front windshield and was almost decapitated. His story was similar to Phil’s. He thought he was lucky to survive the accident but was frustrated by everyone ignoring him. He finally sought out his friend Betty and when he touched her he found himself trapped inside of her.

George had been watching what was going on in this therapy session and came to the realization that he had transitioned on his own. Before we had an opportunity to inquire if he wanted to be released, he asked Betty if she could do the same thing for him that she had done for Phil. Once again we called for the light and it appeared. Quietly, she said her goodbyes to her friend and he moved off into the light.

Again, I asked Betty how she was feeling and she told me she was feeling a lot lighter. I inquired about any other pains or sensations and she told me there were none. Because it had been such an emotion-filled session I directed Betty to go to a quiet, serene, rejuvenating place of her choosing so that she might collect herself before I brought her out of her altered state. Once she had returned to the here and now we processed what had taken place in the session. Even though it was a most unusual session, Betty seemed to think that it had gone very well. I let her know that if anything else came up, I would be happy to see her again. She thanked me and left my office.

Ordinarily, that would have been the last I would hear of Betty, but this case has a Postscript. About a week later, I received a call from her. She told me that she was so happy that she just had to call and let me know how well things were going for her. She and her husband were getting along wonderfully and had not had a single blowup since the appointment.

Not long after my initial experience with spirit release, I was again doing Past Life Regression therapy with a client. This woman was 42, about 5'10" and rather hefty. When we got to the point where she should have been perceiving another lifetime, I asked, what are you experiencing now?” I was quickly met with a shushing sound, and the following dialogue ensued.
"Pardon me?" I said. Again I was shushed. "Why are you shushing me?"
"Be quiet, he'll find us." "Who will?" I asked. "That mean guy".

The shush-er was in fact the spirit of a twelve-year-old girl who had died in a fire. When she saw the 'white light' she thought it was more fire and went away from it. Eventually, she ended up in my client. The 'mean guy' was another spirit who was caught in the client as well. The girl was deathly afraid of him so we quickly and quietly released her and returned her to her relatives in the light before continuing.

"How are you feeling now?" I asked. All of a sudden, the musculature of this woman's face changed. She seemed to be growing ugly before my eyes. Her eyes popped open and she glared at me with intense hatred. She then jumped out of her chair and started yelling in a crazed, masculine voice, "I'll ask the questions here!" At the same time, she began to flail at me with her fists. I had all I could do to grab her by both wrists and by sheer force of will directed her back into her chair. At that moment, her face returned to her pleasant countenance and she innocently inquired, "Why are you holding my arms?"

I didn't want to alarm her but I was scared to death and not really feeling at the top of my game. I was wishing that she were anywhere but in my office at that point in time. The entity was not released that day as the processing of what had taken place consumed most of our time; also, neither one of us was anxious to revisit the experience. In fact, it took several weeks for us to embolden ourselves to the point where we were ready to try the release again. During that time, I lived in dread of what might happen at the next session and prayed to every angel and saint I ever knew for protection.

When we were ready to begin the work again, we invoked spiritual protection by imagining ourselves being surrounded by white light and we invited in our angels and guides to be part of the process. This time, there was no unpleasantness. Once into an altered state, the client’s physiology did not reflect what was taking place within. However, the affect of the entity was unmistakable. He was furious and he did not try to hide it. He was a member of a subversive group in Russia in 1916. He hated Tsar Nicholas II for the persecution he and his family had endured and had accepted a commission to sneak into the palace with a bomb to assassinate the Tsar. Something went wrong and the bomb detonated prematurely. The assassin was mortally wounded and lingered in agony with his anger seething at those who made the bomb, his failure to complete his mission, and the fact that the Tsar was unscathed. When he saw the light he did not want to go into it but rather remain behind and finish his mission. When I informed him that nearly a hundred years had passed since that time and that Nicholas had been dead for most of them, he agreed to go into the light.

My path for learning about spirit release work began a journey of spiritual awakening. Most of the time it was rewarding, often confusing, and sometimes incredibly frightening. I've had to alter not only the way I perceived therapy but also the way I view spirituality and the human condition. It raised the additional question of my responsibility to the non-corporeal clients that entered into the therapeutic situation. I attempted to let go of the religious programming that had been such a significant part of my life, as that perspective only seemed to muddy the waters in my search for clarity.

Even with all of the reading I was doing, I still found it difficult to do the spirit release work. The biggest problem I was facing was that I had to learn a different way of doing the work with each client I saw because of the way they described their experiences while in an altered state of consciousness. There were those who were quite verbose in their reporting, which made the work flow more smoothly. Some were incredibly parsimonious and would only offer material in response to a specific question. If I was not able to pose an appropriate question about who or what the client may actually be experiencing, I would simply have to do without that information. Others only reported vague impressions or sensations. Eventually, through a series of synchronistic events, I was put in touch with a woman who had psychic abilities. In her mind's eye she was able to see, speak to and feel the entities present.

We soon formed a working relationship. There were several spirit helpers that we invited into every session, including Padre Pio, a canonized saint of the Catholic Church who, in his last incarnation, had been an Italian priest in the late nineteenth and first half of the 20th Century. The archangels, Michael, Gabriel and Raphael were always invited and present, as well as many other helping spirits who would often show up, especially if they were important to the client.

Working with the psychic made the spirit release work go more smoothly because of the consistency. Occasionally, (through the psychic) St. Michael would instruct us in ways to improve the work; usually, offering information to counter some misperceptions I held. He would sometimes inform us that, in a few days, we would be experiencing something new and hinted at ways to deal with it. He would sometimes speak to us of spiritual realities that would be worlds apart from anything we had learned from our respective religions.

Those encounters took place more than 20 years ago but I can still recall them vividly. I have had a great many experiences since that time and have discovered complexities in the human condition that I never learned in my doctoral training and could not have conceived in my wildest imaginations. I am continually being surprised by spirit but they seem to have lost their ability to shock me.
