## Resource

For decades, the western world has sensationalized Filipino psychic surgery and mediumship, but what is the true story behind these profound indigenous practices? In this eye-opening episode, researcher Scott Matthew Taubold dives into his groundbreaking work, The System of Healing Used by the Filipino Espiritistas , revealing the authentic truth of this system straight from the healers' own cultural perspective. Stripping away the biases of skeptical parapsychologists and western doctors, Taubold explores the deep, fascinating connection between human consciousness, illness, and alternative medicine. Tune in to uncover the essential principles of this unique healing model and discover what the Espiritistas can teach us all about the mind's untapped capacity to heal the body.
