In fact, approximately 20 to 40 million Brazilians have participated in this unique form of spiritual healing – called Spiritism.
Why? “Because,” says film-maker Emma Bragdon, “Spiritism has proven so successful.” She is completing a 40-minute documentary film that reveals the practical details of these healings, and interviews the physicians who are involved. “One spiritual center,” Bragdon continues, “has had 90% success with returning addicts and those profoundly depressed to a normal, healthy life."
