Patrick San
Francesco is more
than an interesting
person. He is
also more than a
renowned healer.

I
always wondered what a man who channels divine
energy would look like. In August 2014, I was
privileged to attend a talk by such a healer: Patrick
San Francesco of Goa, India. I also attended his workshop
on healing the next day in Cape Town.
Patrick was down-to-earth, funny and totally natural.
He is tall and thin and speaks English very well, with
a faint Indian accent. I heard from his attendants that
he does not eat much – apparently, only once a week.
He reportedly also sleeps just one hour each night. I
guess the divine energy that he channels sustains him
adequately.
For Patrick, it is imperative that we celebrate the
wonder of life. He is of the opinion that when we interact
socially with others, our happiness should overwhelm
them.
When he was just about three years old, Patrick
realised that if his dear mother fed him every day, how
much more loving would be our Divine Mother/Father.
During his talk, he told us that when he was 17 a friend
played a prank on him, stretching some fishing line across
the top of a staircase to trip him up. Sure enough, Patrick
fell down the stairs and damaged his neck. The family's
doctor told his parents that their now-bedridden son would
be a quadriplegic for the rest of his life. Patrick, already
a healer since the age of four, told the physician very
confidently that he would stand up in three days – and
he did.
I didn't know what to expect from Patrick's colour
healing workshop that weekend. It was frankly a bit way
out for this scientist, but I trusted that he knew what
he was doing when he instructed us to visualise certain
colours in meditation. He also encouraged us to build a
protective egg around ourselves. One of the participants
reported that after the previous evening's healing session,
she had been able to move a frozen shoulder and arm for
the first time in months.
According to Patrick, he sees 100 patients a day.
One of them, an American patient, once offered a large
donation to the charity for solving his problem. Every
day, this man had suffered mysterious and debilitating
pain in his right leg. No other doctor or healer had been
able to come up with a diagnosis. Patrick asked him just
two questions: 'Did you change your job lately?' and 'Do
you drive to work now?' The man answered both in the
affirmative. Then Patrick gave him the solution: if he
removed his wallet from his back pocket while driving
to work, his pain would stop. The bulky wallet had been
cutting off the blood supply to his sciatic nerve, causing
the pain in his leg.
