EARTHBOUND SPIRITS
The following article is from Nancy Rebecca. Just in time for Halloween. The book she recommends, When Ghosts Speak, was quite an eye-opener!
|
What defines a haunting? A haunting is an event that
happens in a location over and over again, that causes deeply emotional
reactions. There are many types of hauntings A couple of examples are: a
spirit that stays around a house or property but is not malicious or, very
dark spirits who are driven to frighten people.
Most houses have what I
prefer to call, "spiritual activity".
Spiritual activity can be energetic imprints of memories that
remain in the home long after the inhabitants have left. The stronger the
emotions tied to an event that happened at a location, the stronger an
individual can feel those past memories. The imprinted memories remain in one
spot in the home and do not move. So every time you are in that area of the
house you can feel it.
Another kind of spirit activity is when actual spirits move
about the house and the experience can change from day to day, or night to
night. The spirit does have the ability to think and interact with others who
live in the home to differing degrees depending on the connection and or the
ability of the persons living in the house to sense or see the spirit and the
strength of the energy that connects them. Some spirits will be repetitive in
their behaviors such as always going into a child's room to check on the
children. Or if they cooked and baked would prefer to always be in the
kitchen helping you cook.
"May God grant you always...A
sunbeam to warm you, a moonbeam to charm you, a sheltering Angel so nothing
can harm you. Laughter to cheer you. Faithful friends near you. And whenever
you pray, Heaven to hear you." - Irish
Blessing
Some spirits can be so filled with anger and resentment that
they can cause whoever lives in that house to be angry and resentful, and
yet when that person is outside of the house and away from the energy, they
feel fine. There are others who can be jealous, sexual, comforting,
protective, and other spirits who prefer to frighten the life right out of
you!
Poltergeist were thought to be mischievous spirits that love to
move items about the house causing pictures to fall off the walls, furniture
to move, glasses to fall of shelves. This can be a spirit. However, these
activities can happen during highly emotional states where you yourself can
cause things to move, and it is not another spirit at all. This is very common
with young children and teens. Once the hormones come into balance it does
not happen again.
When I was young we had a rocking chair that was haunted by a
spirit. At night I would hear the rocker creaking and would be terrified to
get out of bed. One night my brother and I woke up, hearing the rocker, we
crawled on our hands and knees into the living room. We saw it rocking, but
no saw no spirit. I dared by younger brother to go sit in the chair. He stood
up and walked closer, and within 2 feet the rocker suddenly stopped. My
brother ran back over to me and sat next to me on the floor. Suddenly the
rocker started rocking again. We high-tailed it back to our beds and threw
the covers over our heads.
I grew up in Arkansas
where history of ghost is deeply rooted in our Southern culture. There was a
hanging tree there and every night cars would come from all over and park
their cars to watch the lights of spirits moving across the land on their way
to the tree. The folklore was that if one of those lights came over to your
car everyone inside would suffocate to death. I witnessed this spectacle
myself, as I sat in the car with my Uncle and cousins. One of the light
beings moved to our car and my Uncle threw the car into drive and we took off
down the dirt country road. My cousins and I watched out the back window
screaming for him to drive faster as this white light followed us. It was
several miles before we finally lost sight of it.
As I write this newsletter,
more of these rich memories come flooding to the surface. Now that I am an adult, it has become my life's path to work with
all spirits. My clients are spiritual beings in a human body. Once you let go
of the body you are a spirit. Many religious organizations teach that all
ghost/spirits are evil. If they were truly of God they would go straight to
heaven. If they are not in heaven then they are not of God. This is probably
one of the biggest lies of them all.
I would say based on my experience that 70% of spirits that we
assist to "cross over" simply became stuck on the earthly plane
because of the suddenness or trauma of their death or because of
"unfinished business" with loved ones. Staying too long with their
loved ones here they may forget how to get back to the other spiritual planes
(it can take awhile to get used to becoming spirit without a body!).
They are
so filled with gratitude when someone assists them to cross over after years
of being lost in a world that has changed so much and become quite unfamiliar
to them.
I recommend the book, When Ghosts Speak written by
Mary Ann Winkowski. Her website is; www.maryannwinkowski.com.
The TV show, Ghost Whisperer is about her abilities. In her book she teaches
you how to help spirits to cross over, creating the doorway into the light for lost
souls.
We are naturally afraid of the unknown and unseen. Education is
our primary focus in everything we do. Helping to identify hauntings and
assist spirits to move on is one of our strengths and passions. Do not
hesitate to let us know if you have questions. Read our energetic tips for
ideas to clear your own home of stuck memories and energies.
We would love to hear the wide range
of esoteric topics you would like to see us write about in upcoming
newsletters.To that end.....answer this question.
If you had a most burning question or subject that you would
like an answer to or information on; what would that be?

Energetic Health Tips
This month's energy tips is all
about clearing the space you live in. We will provide several options
that we use all the time. We usually start with the simple, easy techniques, depending on the level of dense energy in the house. We encourage you to
create the habit of clearing your space on a regular basis so then you know
your environment and know when it is out of balance.
1. Sit quietly in a comfortable
place in your house. Have your journal with you so you can make notes about
what you notice.
2. Ground yourself first, to the
center of the earth. Center yourself as you breathe, and connect with Mother
Earth to strengthen your grounding. Then imagine the Sun or a golden light
above you showering your aura with gold. (Our meditation CD's also give a
lovely guided meditation you can listen to first).
3. Imagine a grounding cord going
from the center of your house, extending down through the earth's crust,
deeper and deeper to the center of the earth. Imagine a
strong secure grounding image that will stabilize your house. This grounding
will also serve as a drain to absorb thick, dense, congested energy.
4. Now Imagine a large golden ball
of Divine Cosmic energy above your house. As you are sitting in that
space, use your intuitive sense and feelings as you experience this golden
light cleansing and clearing every nook and corner with gold, as the thick, old
energy dissolves and drains out of the house down the grounding cord.
5. Remind the house of the current
date. Say something like, "Today's date is _____________. Any old outdated energy
in this house will come fully into this present moment, all other energy will
be released."
6. Set intention that any spirits
in your house that are not in alignment with the Divine will be released
easily and effortlessly.
7. Sage, Holy Water, Sea Salt, and
other sacred objects can help clear your space.
8. Clear each individual room using
the same technique of grounding, golding, and present-timing, by moving room
to room after you have done the main entire house first.
9. Physically cleaning your house
helps you to own it energetically and spiritually. Give it a
good scrub, and clean out all the clutter that holds onto old energy. You can
bless the water you use to clean, by simply saying a prayer, or grounding the
water, showering it with gold before you use it to clean.
10. Archangels Michael, Gabriel,
Ariel and Uriel are who we call upon to assist in clearing and protecting.
11. Calling in the assistance of Jesus
to clear negative dark energy has helped in all situations. Do not
hesitate to do this even if you do not feel like you know what you are doing.
Jesus does not expect you to be politically correct, just speak and request
from you heart for the help and it will be there for you.
10. Read the book, When Ghosts Speak, if you are curious about going deeper in assisting spirits to cross
over.
