Actually I did have some coloured grains of wheat that the Nechung had blessed, came from a friend who was a well reputed monk, so it was probably genuine :-)

The other thing is that I have a medical degree in an old type of acupuncture that includes two very old treatment protocols for possession. They are patterns of inserted needles, one for superficial possession at the front, another one at the back for deeper types.

During the last year at school we had someone with multiple voices chatting in her head report most of them leaving after this treatment, so clearly something happened...
