The Mystical Practice Of Psychic Surgery

The phenomenon of psychic surgery has always fascinated me. Although I have never personally witnessed such a procedure first hand, I did see footage of a psychic surgeon in action many years ago.

Despite the poor quality of the movie, it seemed to me to be very real and certainly not a parlor trick, as many skeptics might suggest. The footage left a lasting impression and piqued my curiosity about a practice that operates on the edge of the mystical and the medical.

The film I saw was recorded by a friend who is very enthusiastic about psychic surgery. He had filmed the footage during a trip to the Philippines, where he observed the procedure firsthand.

He explained that psychic surgery is essentially the manipulation of energy and vibration. The practitioner is able to penetrate the patient’s skin with his bare hands using “polarity,” which is the balancing or manipulation of opposing energy forces.

In many spiritual and alternative healing practices, polarity is a term used to describe the dynamic interaction between different types of energy, often referred to as positive and negative energy, or yin and yang.

The idea is that everything in the universe, including the human body, operates on a balance of these opposing energies. When this balance is disturbed, disease or physical ailments can result.

In psychic surgery, practitioners use polarity to perform seemingly miraculous procedures with their bare hands. The idea is that by tapping into and manipulating these energies, they can create a state in which the physical body becomes malleable, allowing them to penetrate the skin without causing pain or bleeding. The procedure is performed without invasive surgery or the use of anesthesia.

In the Philippines there are healers who are reported to practice surgery by simply pointing their finger at the skin area to be incised; the flesh opens with minimal bleeding  ~ Priscilla Rich

Psychic surgeons are able to align or calibrate their own energy with that of the patient to facilitate psychic healing, almost as if they were creating a bridge or gateway between different dimensions of existence to remove diseased tissue, foreign bodies, or negative energies from their patients’ bodies. It is a way to access a deeper, more fundamental aspect of reality, where energy and matter are intertwined, and where healing can occur on a level that transcends conventional physical methods.

The phenomenon of psychic surgery therefore involves more than just physical manipulation of the body. There is a spiritual component that suggests to me that divine intervention plays a role in the healing process, especially given the lack of scarring after such procedures.

I recall our host explaining how psychic surgeons often work to rid patients of negative entities that have attached themselves to both the person and their possessions. These negative entities are believed to cause physical, emotional, and mental health problems, and their removal is considered essential to the patient’s healing process.

During psychic surgery, patients report feeling various sensations as the procedures are performed. They describe feelings of “pulling” and “tugging” as they feel damaged tissue or foreign bodies being removed. Some even report a sensation of “cool fluid” entering their bodies during the procedure.

In some cases, psychic surgeons exhibit changes in posture and voice that indicate that a spirit guide or “spirit doctor” has taken over the task at hand. This concept of spirit doctors is central to the practice because psychic surgeons are essentially physical mediums.

Physical mediumship is a form of mediumship in which a spirit or other non-physical entity manipulates the physical environment to produce observable phenomena, such as moving objects, producing sounds, or even materializing substances such as ectoplasm. In this process, the medium acts as a conduit, allowing spirit entities to manifest in the physical realm.

Thus, psychic surgeons do not act alone, but are guided or controlled by spiritual entities that take over their bodies to manipulate energy and physical reality and bring about healing.

Psychic surgery is most commonly associated with the Philippines. It is a practice that has gained particular notoriety and attention in that country, with a number of practitioners performing surgeries without the use of traditional medical tools. The practice is deeply rooted in the spiritual and cultural beliefs of the region.

Although similar practices exist in other places, such as Brazil, where instruments may be used, bare-handed psychic surgery, which is widely known and often depicted in media and documentaries, is primarily associated with the Philippines. In Brazil, psychic surgeons traditionally use instruments such as knives or scissors. Trance states in Brazilian psychic surgeries are induced through energetic dancing to the sound of percussion instruments and drums, while in the Philippines trance states are achieved through gentle chanting and prayer.

An accurate description of what is actually occurring still eludes us. Still, some of the better research on psychic healing reveals that something other than suggestion is taking place ~ Priscilla Rich

These practices reveal the rich tapestry of healing traditions that exist around the world. Psychic surgery is often a last resort for individuals who have exhausted all other avenues of healing. The willingness of people to turn to such unconventional methods speaks to the deep desire for healing and the hope that alternative forms of treatment can offer.

Whether or not one believes in the efficacy of psychic surgery, it is a compelling reminder of the human quest for health and wholeness, a quest that transcends the boundaries of conventional medicine and taps into the mysterious realms of the unseen.
