​
João Teixeira de Faria, often referred to as John of God, was born to a poor family on June 24, 1942. His family could not afford a proper education for him, and João left home at the tender age of 14 to work. When João was 16 a beautiful woman appeared to him. She spent hours talking to him and told him to go to a Spiritist Center where people were waiting for him. Upon arrival at the Center, João fainted and the spirit of King Solomon entered into his body and spent hours curing those present. João was unconscious during the incorporation, and was informed only after he regained consciousness what had happened to him. His work continues in the same fashion today. “When I feel intense spiritual peace, and indestructible happiness, this is the sign that incorporation will follow”, says João. Many helpful entities enter and use the body of John of God to heal others.
​
João continually states that “I do not heal anyone, it is God and the good spirits which work through me that heal”. This simple man has dedicated his entire life to what he calls “his mission”, offering himself as a full trance medium channel at least three days a week with two sessions per day at the center in Abadiania called The Casa. The heavy schedule, incorporating and disincorporating, and the intense work performed can take a heavy toll on the body. Even with this toll, Medium João is determined to see his mission through to the end. He currently enjoys good health, and also says that with or without him, the healing work of The Casa de Dom Ignacio will continue.
healing at the casa
The healing process at the Casa begins the moment you decide to come. Once you arrive in Abadiânia, the healing is a fulltime process. After you arrive home, the healing continues for weeks and often months. I will be here to help you leading up to the trip, throughout our time shared in Abadiânia, and following your arrival home to answer questions, provide love, support and hold sacred space for you. There are many intricacies to the healing that takes place at the Casa.
The Casa of Dom Ignacio is a spiritual hospital. Numerous people of many faiths flock here for healings on both the physical and spiritual level. The helpful spirits, referred to as the Entities of the Casa (and Entities of Light), create a powerful, healing energy throughout the Casa and Abadiânia. Many of these spirits were doctors, therapists, healers, and notable figures during their lifetime. The Entities provide a strong support to help you with your desired healing. You are also responsible to commit to do your part in your own healing. It is a co-active process.
Joao Teixeira de Farias, or ‘John of God’, is a full trance incorporation medium. Although he remains a simple man, strength, conviction, and faith emanate from his being. During Casa sessions, he donates his body to work with the helpful spirits of the Casa. Joao continually reminds visitors: “I do not heal anyone, it is God and the good spirits which work through me that heal.”
Wednesday, Thursday, and Fridays are Casa Days. During this time, ‘John of God’ receives incorporation from one of the helpful Entities of the Casa. Each person may visit him with three requests for help once per day. The Entity will hear your requests and scan your energy body to determine what would be most helpful for you. You will then be told, through a translator, instructions on the protocol to follow to help with your requests. There are a number of possibilities (blessed herbs, crystal bed, spiritual intervention or “surgery”, meditation in the “current” room, visit the sacred waterfall, etc.). Rest assured, I will accompany you through the line to hold space for you, ensure we are clear about instructions on your next step, answer questions, etc.
