Pangasinan Province on the Philippine Island of Luzon has long been associated with mysterious, metaphysical phenomena and alternative healing, as practiced by the indigenous Filipinos. This book explores psychic surgery, faith healing, and Spiritism from the historical perspective as well as the author s personal experience.... provides an in-depth look at the interplay between the world of physical reality and the spiritual world. Although quantum physicists are getting closer and closer to a scientific explanation for phenomena such as psychic surgery, and more and more people are talking about energy medicine, it is likely this thought-provoking book will raise as many questions as it answers.

Review:

Every once in a while you read a book that touches your soul, engages your heart and pushes your mind to look at the world in a new way. Jessica Bryan's Psychic Surgery & Faith Healing is a moving and detailed account of her life-changing experiences as a patient of psychic surgery and later, as a student and practitioner of the art of magnetic healing. Bryan travels to the Philippines, a renowned center for faith healers, where her doubts are melted by the intense tropical heat and the generous love of a local family of healers who adopts her as one of their own. Bryan's flowing and absorbing narrative invites the reader to live her journey and return transformed. --New Connexion Magazine-Vicky Thompson

PSYCHIC SURGERY & FAITH HEALING is well researched and enriched with personal experience. Jessica writes with humor and compassion, while bringing clarity to a subject that is often considered obscure, intangible, and underestimated. This book is captivating, beautiful, powerful, and poignant. --Heather Cumming-Author of John of God: The Brazilian Healer Who's Touched the Lives of Millions

Author Jessica Bryan delivers a well-researched account of psychic surgery and faith healing...Bryan's firsthand accounts of her own experience with psychic surgery, first as a patient and ultimately as a practitioner of magnetic healing, are both engaging and moving, and leave little doubt that there is something very real about this amazing phenomena. --FATE Magazine, January 2008
