  • Os Mortos Estão Vivos: Anna Prado E a Paranormalidade Na Belle Époque (1918- 1923)
    Os mortos estão vivos: Anna Prado e a paranormalidade na Belle Époque (1918- 1923) RAFAEL DE LIMA RIBEIRO Introdução Brasil, década de 1920. Fatos paranormais incomuns agitam Belém do Pará, provocando repercussão em nível nacional e internacional1. Uma mulher protagoniza eventos, que vão desde efeitos luminosos à materialização de espíritos. A perseguição ao Espiritismo pela Igreja Católica ainda era muito vigente no período de atuação de Anna Prado, mas não perseguia apenas o Espiritismo. No fim do séc. XIX e início do séc. XX, a Igreja perseguiu a Maçonaria, a Teosofia, o Protestantismo e outros que não seguiam seus preceitos. Essa minoria passou a se unir perante tamanha perseguição. No Amazonas, a Teosofia realizava reuniões no prédio da Federação Espírita, o Protestantismo defendia o Espiritismo. “Eram anticlericais, livres-pensadores, abolicionistas, anarquistas, socialistas, positivistas, espíritas, maçons e protestantes. Cada qual se movendo dentro de espaços circunscritos, mas em busca de uma transformação de toda a sociedade. Eles tinham um objetivo em comum: a luta em defesa do Estado laico e da República”. ( DEL PRIORE, 2014: p. 161). Anna Prado foi uma médium de efeitos físicos que viveu no Pará, de naturalidade amazonense, e que foi pioneira dos fenômenos espíritas no Brasil. Esses fenômenos mediúnicos de efeitos físicos, classificados assim na Doutrina Espírita, são aqueles que são percebidos pelos sentidos ordinários de qualquer pessoa, não havendo necessidade de que se seja médium para perceber tais fenômenos. Dentre eles a materialização dos espíritos, a levitação de objetos, transporte, efeitos luminosos, dentre outros. Apesar de serem efeitos físicos são perceptíveis a qualquer pessoa, seja médium ou não.

  • Historical Perspective
    Journal of Scientific Exploration, Vol. 34, No. 4, pp. 717–754, 2020 0892-3310/20 HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE Early Psychical Research Reference Works: Remarks on Nandor Fodor’s Encyclopaedia of Psychic Science Carlos S. Alvarado [email protected] Submitted March 11, 2020; Accepted July 5, 2020; Published December 15, 2020 DOI: 10.31275/20201785 Creative Commons License CC-BY-NC Abstract—Some early reference works about psychic phenomena have included bibliographies, dictionaries, encyclopedias, and general over- view books. A particularly useful one, and the focus of the present article, is Nandor Fodor’s Encyclopaedia of Psychic Science (Fodor, n.d., circa 1933 or 1934). The encyclopedia has more than 900 alphabetically arranged entries. These cover such phenomena as apparitions, auras, automatic writing, clairvoyance, hauntings, materialization, poltergeists, premoni- tions, psychometry, and telepathy, but also mediums and psychics, re- searchers and writers, magazines and journals, organizations, theoretical ideas, and other topics. In addition to the content of this work, and some information about its author, it is argued that the Encyclopaedia is a good reference work for the study of developments from before 1933, even though it has some omissions and bibliographical problems. Keywords: Encyclopaedia of Psychic Science; Nandor Fodor; psychical re- search reference works; history of psychical research INTRODUCTION The work discussed in this article, Nandor Fodor’s Encyclopaedia of Psychic Science (Fodor, n.d., circa 1933 or 1934), is a unique compilation of information about psychical research and related topics up to around 1933. Widely used by writers interested in overviews of the literature, Fodor’s work is part of a reference literature developed over the years to facilitate the acquisition of knowledge about the early publications of the field by students of psychic phenomena.

  • Description of Services Mind
    DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES MIND: Mental Health Counseling Mental health counseling is counseling provided to individuals and couples by a licensed counselor that helps promote optimum mental and emotional health and wellness using a variety of therapeutic techniques. This counseling aids individuals to deal with issues associated with family, parenting, marital problems, stress management, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, loss, trauma and sexual health concerns. Hypnotherapy (coming soon) Hypnotherapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses relaxation, concentration, and intense attention to achieve a heightened state of consciousness or mindfulness. This form of therapy uses the mind to reduce or alleviate a variety of issues, such as psychological distress, phobias, and unhealthy habits. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy technique which has been very successful in helping people who suffer from trauma, anxiety, panic, disturbing memories, post-traumatic stress and other emotional problems. EMDR therapy involves the client placing attention to a negative event and an image, belief, and body feeling related to this events. While the client focuses on the event, the therapist will begin sets of side-to-side eye movements, sounds, or taps. The client is guided to notice what comes to mind after each set. As a result of this therapy, clients experience shifts in insight or changes in images, feelings, or beliefs regarding the event. The sets of eye movements, sounds, or taps are repeated until the event becomes less disturbing. Stress Management Stress is an automatic physical, mental and emotional response to a challenging event. It’s a normal part of everyone’s life.
