What does it take to perform a successful exorcism?

A real bona fide exorcism isn't something to play around with.\n\nFirst of all, you'd have to be sure you're dealing with a spirit, not just a medical condition -- and aside from treating the subject with the proper care and dignity, you could find yourself dragged into court for a misdiagnosis that goes awry. \n\nNext, you're not performing a surgical procedure, where if you do "A," then "B" happens. This isn't magic. This isn't science. This is a matter of someone's spirit and volition as well as supernatural forces outside of yourself, and you do not have total control over the outcome.\n\nSeriously.\n\nYou need some experienced people involved, those wise in the realm of spiritual growth and how people change. There are usually compulsive behaviors or depression or other psychological conditions involved, which need to be dealt with. And if the person does not want to be delivered, you are merely "sweeping clean the inner house" to be reinfested shortly after.\n\nThe person will need a solid spiritual and emotional support structure, to stick with any changes made to behavior and to deal with new freedom.\n\nAnd if you start messing with spirits, you will find all the flaws in your own spirit challenged, in front of those who are helping you. If you are not willing to expose your own dark secrets to others, don't mess with the spirits; they know what you hide, and you'll have to deal with it.\n\nI really advise you to "not do this at home."

Don't look on-line for demon busting information, look in your bible and look to God.  He has given us power (through his son and the holy spirit) over all of hell. "Resist the devil and he must flee."  If you believe you're dealing with something spiritual and can't seem to handle it on your own, gather your family or friends. "Where two or more are gathered, there I will be."  Chances are, whatever you're dealing with, you verbally tell it to leave and say it with authority through Jesus and it's going to leave.  Just remember to replace that area of your life with Godly things, otherwise if it returns and find that space empty, it will return and be 7 times worse.\n\nPraying for strength and wisdom for you to get through this.

First of all, Spirits cannot harm you. They can scare the hell out of you and play pranks but the spirits can not do any physical harm to you. \n\n I do agree though that before trying to summon a spirit, always ask God or your Divine Power (if you have one) to surround you with a protecting light. If you want to summon a spirit, make sure you are doing it for the Higher Good and for good intentions only (such as wanting to make sure a deceased love one is ok). The next step is to practice meditation. Your mind has to let go of "Ego" thoughts and Earth things and worries in order to able to effectively talk to someone from the afterlife. With meditation, prayer, and a true belief in time it can happen. It would also be good read books on the subject that will help you learn how to meditate more effectively. \n\nOne last thing, although bad spirits cannot cause you harm, you dont want to open your door to lower spirits or to just anyone. That is like leaving your front door open and allowing anyone to come in. Always pray to God before trying to communicate..VERY important.

Check this out:\n"Exorcism is the practice of evicting demons or other evil spiritual entities which are supposed to have possessed (taken control of) a person or object. The practice is quite ancient and still part of the belief system of many religions.\nThe person performing the exorcism, known as an exorcist, is often a priest, or an individual thought to be graced with special powers or skills. The exorcist may use religious material, such as prayers and set formulas, gestures, symbols, icons, amulets, etc.. The exorcist often invokes some benign supernatural power to actually perform the task.\nIn general, possessed persons are not regarded as evil in themselves, nor wholly responsible for their actions. Therefore, exorcism is generally thought more as a cure than as a punishment." (Wikipedia's explanation)\n\n"In Christian countries authentic cases of possession sometimes occur and every priest, especially if he be a parish priest, or pastor, is liable to be called upon to perform his duty as exorcist. In doing so, he is to be mindful of the prescriptions of the Roman Ritual and of the laws of provincial or diocesan synods, which for most part require that the bishop should be consulted and his authorization obtained before exorcism is attempted. The chief points of importance in the instructions of the Roman Ritual, prefixed to the rite itself, are as follows: \n\nPossession is not lightly to be taken for granted. Each case is to be carefully examined and great caution to be used in distinguishing genuine possession from certain forms of disease. \nThe priest who undertakes the office should be himself a holy man, of a blameless life, intelligent, courageous, humble, and he should prepare for the work by special acts of devotion and mortification, particularly by prayer and a fasting (Matthew 17:20). \nHe should avoid in the a course of the rite everything that savours of superstition, and should leave the medical aspects of the case to qualified physicians. \nHe should admonish the possessed, in so far as the latter is capable, to dispose himself for the exorcism by prayer, fasting, confession, and communion, and while the rite is in progress to excite within himself a lively faith in God's goodness, and a patient resignation to His holy will. \nThe exorcism should take place in the Church or some other sacred place, if convenient; but if on account of sickness or for other legitimate reasons, it takes place in a private house, witnesses (preferably members of the family) should be present: this is specially enjoined, as a measure of precaution, in case the subject is a woman. \nAll idle and curious questioning of the demon should be avoided, and the prayers and aspirations should be read with great faith, humility, and fervour, and with a consciousness of power and authority. \nThe Blessed Sacrament is not to be brought near the body of the obsessed during exorcism for fear of possible irreverence; but the crucifix, holy water, and, where available, relics of the saints are to be employed. \nIf expulsion of the evil spirit is not obtained at once, the rite should be repeated, if need be, several times. \nThe exorcist should be vested in surplice, and violet stole."  (from the Catholic Encyclopedia)\n\nI hope all this helps!

I do have books on the subject, but they are England and American versions. I implore you to use ultimate caution if you become able to conjur the spirits, you may open a portal that you cannot control and the consequences be devastating.

No tips. But you may be interested into the fact that the James Randi Educational Foundation offers a prize of one million dollars to anybody who is able to show any kind of paranormal or supernatural ability. To date, nobody has retired the prize. Think to that before giving your credit to people claiming that "they know" how to do or that "there is somebody" that does the trick. Anybody able to levitate out there? OK, great, then go RIGHT NOW and retire the million dollar that is waiting for you.

Some ghosts are like psychic echoes permently attached to a place or object. They are by far the most annoying of all paranormal phenomena. I've gotten ghosts out before, but it's not easy\n\nFocus every bit of spirituality you can toward the ring. Use a ring of candles, spiritual icons, idols, the bible, every spiritual thing you've got, focus it on the ring. It is very important that your intent be to help the spirit tied to the ring, not banishment. Banishment is negative, and your entire focus has to be positive. You are bringing all these spiritual things to strengthen it so it has the power to move on. You are empowering it. Have a dialogue with it, even if it feels like your only talking to your own internal dialogue, that's okay, and probably close enough to keep the conversation going. Obviously it feels like it needs something, so be supportive and sit with it. This is going to take several hours. It's got a lot to work through to get to the point where it is complete enough to no longer remain bound, so it's going to take time. It's going to want to connect to you because you're helping it and there's an emotional connection on its part, but you're not there for an emotional connection. You're like a councilor helping a client. You care, but you're not making a new friend. When it feels like it's ready, then allow it to be free and move on, and feel happy for it that it's able to move on.

You need some kind of doctrine, something that will keep people happy (they shouldn't have to use their brains at all) and frighten the pants of them at the same time - believe in this or else kind of thing, suppose you can't use Hell need something original and quite frankly a bit more realistic than a hot place at the center of the World where you get tortured.\n\nHow about this - you are an alien abductee and the aliens have taught you that they are the masters of the Universe and pretty soon they are coming back to save everyone and take them off to the center of the cosmos for total enlightenment but anyone who doesn't join your Church (for a modest fee of ten thousand green ones) gets lazer beamed and so do all their relatives and friends whether they joined or not and it'll all be their fault etc.\n\nThat should start you off. Stick it all over the net, write some stories about the aliens and your abductee experiences and pretty soon you'll have Scientology quaking in its shoes.

Get both. The Exorcist, the original, is scary and done well.  Emily Rose is correct from a mental heath point of view as well as depicting the guidelines of an actual exorcism. In current times you are required to have a psych evaluation.  Almost all cases of supposed possession turn out to be mental illness. That is the kicker in Rose, she meet the mental illness description, true, but there is more.  It's kind of like that bumper sticker  "Just because you are paranoid doesn't necessarily mean they are not out to get you."

I have found the Seven Sacraments very powerful,but there are internal actions that must accompany the external actions,and these must be done in a precise order to activate the experience.....When you asked this question did you know that you were in the process of waking up?
