Coping with death & bereavement; Unexplained phenomena & the paranormal; Ghosts & poltergeists

What if you could speak to your deceased loved ones one more time? What if grief didn't have to mean letting go?

For over twenty years, Dr. Irene Blinston has guided grieving individuals through a remarkable healing process using an ancient Greek ritual adapted for modern use. In this groundbreaking book, she reveals the power of the psychomanteum, a darkened chamber designed to facilitate contact with the deceased-and its profound ability to reduce the symptoms of grief.

Drawing from landmark research at the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, Dr. Blinston shares compelling case studies of participants who experienced dramatic reductions in grief symptoms after just three hours in the psychomanteum. Whether or not they made ""contact"" with their loved ones,

92 out of 100 participants reported lasting healing.

Gazing into the Afterlife explores:

The history and science behind mirror-gazing and limited sensory stimuli for grief healing Detailed protocols for the psychomanteum process, from preparation through integration Moving accounts of transformative encounters including visual, auditory, and deeply emotional Applications beyond grief due to death, including trauma, loss of identity, and life transitions The crucial role of trained facilitators in creating safe, sacred healing spaces

This isn't about proving life after death. It's about discovering a pathway to peace and healing. The research shows that the psychomanteum helps the bereaved maintain healthy continuing bonds with the deceased while moving forward with their lives. From sudden deaths and complicated grief to ambiguous loss and disenfranchised grief, this innovative approach offers hope where traditional methods fall short.

Whether you're a mental health professional interested in new tools for grief work, a bereaved individual looking for healing, or simply curious about consciousness and human potential, this book provides both scientific rigor and compassionate guidance. Dr. Blinston's unique combination of research expertise, facilitator experience, and personal transformation makes this an essential resource for understanding grief in the 21st century.

The psychomanteum isn't magic-it's a carefully structured process that creates space for what the grieving heart most needs: connection, expression, and peace.

Discover how this ancient practice, backed by modern research, is transforming grief work and offering relief to those who carry the weight of loss.
