Domain XIV · Western esoteric, divinatory & new spiritual movements · Grigori Grabovoi · 1995 · Russia

What it is

This is a healing and salvation movement, not a therapy. Its founder, Grigori Grabovoi (born in Soviet Central Asia; Interfax and RFE/RL give Kazakhstan, RBTH gives Uzbekistan), teaches that its stated aim is eternal life for everyone, and that people who receive the teaching should pass it on by…

Format

• Typical session count and duration: no source gives these for the movement, and none applies to the therapist's work below.

Who practises it, and how they are trained or regulated

• Formats: large paid seminars (prosecutors cited up to 500 people at a fixed fee per head in 2005) and much more expensive individual sessions; books and lecture transcripts sold under licence; since his release, teaching abroad, an education centre in Serbia, online material and costly devices claimed to stop ageing.
• Version followed: the teaching "On Salvation and Harmonious Development" as Grigori Grabovoi's own lecture series and licensed translations present it (the German epubli edition of one lecture in that series is the primary text consulted), together with Russian and international news reporting on the movement, its foundation and the Moscow fraud case from 2006 to 2021. The number-sequence practice is named here…
• This is a healing and salvation movement, not a therapy. Its founder, Grigori Grabovoi (born in Soviet Central Asia; Interfax and RFE/RL give Kazakhstan, RBTH gives Uzbekistan), teaches that its stated aim is eternal life for everyone, and that people who receive the teaching should pass it on by teaching others, under a personal licence, sub-licence or contract with a licensed organisation.

Evidence status, as the guide reports it

• The movement's account of change: consciousness, directed by the teaching and by concentration, is held to restore health, steer events and ultimately overcome death. Evidence status in one line: no controlled study or systematic review supports any of the healing, event-control or resurrection…

Questions to explore with your client

• What drew you to it, and what are you hoping it will change?
• Does it involve any substance, plant preparation, remedy or supplement? Has your doctor or prescriber been told, especially about any medication you take?
• Is it a group, retreat or community? How do they respond if someone wants to leave or raises a concern?
• How do you and the practitioner understand what is happening, in spiritual or cultural terms? Is that a source of comfort, worry, or both?
• Does it use a device, heat, cold, water or a physical procedure? Has a medical professional checked that it is safe for you?
• Who runs it, and what training or registration do they hold?
• What actually happens in a session or meeting, and how often?
• What does it cost, and is there pressure to commit to more?
• How do you feel afterwards, in the hours and days that follow?
• Does it fit with, or clash with, the work we do here?

What practitioners of it watch for

• one member cut off; secrecy about money; children caught between parents.
• sudden loss of all support, intense guilt, depression, and pressure from remaining members.
• your own reactions (contempt, fascination, rescue fantasies) and pressure to take sides in family disputes.
• magical thinking that grows into anxiety, using codes instead of seeing a doctor, or the young person feeling foolish.
• shame that stops disclosure; escalating spending after a setback; a sense that stopping will harm someone ("if I stop, she can't come back").

When to involve someone else

• New or worsening physical symptoms, or advice to stop or change prescribed medication: involve the client's doctor or prescriber.
• Signs of coercion, isolation from family and friends, escalating costs or secrecy: discuss openly and consider safeguarding.
• A crisis or thoughts of suicide: follow your crisis protocol. In the US, call or text 988; in the UK and Ireland, Samaritans on 116 123.
