Talking to Spirits in Mediumistic Meetings - Therezinha Oliveira

Título: Talking to Spirits in Mediumistic Meetings

Sinopse: About the book
A dialogue between spirits and us, incarnate beings, has been happening for more than 150 years, guided by the insight that Spiritism has offered to all its researchers and practitioners. However, this requires a real- life, hands-on approach, which this book seeks to provide.

Containing 25 case studies described in vivid detail, Talking to Spirits in Mediumistic Meetings sums up 50 years of experience of author and lecturer Therezinha Oliveira as a director of mediumistic groups, and also as an instructor responsible for courses in this as well as several other fi elds of Spiritist philosophy and science, of which she was a master.
