WHY CLEANSE YOUR HOME…?
Easy...it’s evident that EARTHBOUND SPIRITS EXIST ALL AROUND US – they were people, now souls, who chose to ground themselves to the physical world and not move forward into the light after they crossed over into spirit realm. Every so often these earthbound spirits attract to us and linger (better yet loiter) in our homes. Depending on the type of energy or spirit that has attracted to you, this may lower the energy of living space and manifest in “hauntings” (poltergeist activity, feelings of being watched, physical manifestations of sensing spirit energies, etc).
THESE SOULS NEED TO MOVE FORWARD in order to progress with their spiritual growth on the “other side”, and for reasons unknown to us, moving forward is not easy to do. The reasons unknown could be fear of punishment for past deeds, confusion at the time of death, stubbornness, unaware and no realization death occurred, lack of knowledge of what they need to do, etc. Most are benevolent souls wanting to stay connected to the physical plane, other souls have more malicious intentions keeping themselves in this state of being and grounded to the physical world.
PARANORMAL ACTIVITY RELATES TO SCIENCE:
DEFINITION OF PHYSICS is the science of matter and energy and of interactions between the two, grouped in traditional fields such as acoustics, optics, mechanics, thermodynamics, and electromagnetism, as well as in modern extensions including atomic and nuclear physics, cryogenics, solid-state physics, particle physics, and plasma physics.
DEFINITION OF META-PHYSICS is the philosophical study of being and knowing, the branch of philosophy that examines the nature of reality, including the relationship between mind and matter, substance and attribute, fact and value.
Some scientists and skeptics will readily say that spirit/paranormal activity does not exist since it can not be proven by the techniques available today. Well, for every person who says it does not exist because no one can prove it does - PROVE THAT IT DOES NOT EXIST!
LOWER VIBRATIONAL FREQUENCIES:
Grounded spirits operate on a lower vibrational frequency; this lower vibrational frequency is closer to our dimensional realm. Souls who have crossed forward and into the light, spirit guides and guardian angels operate on a higher vibrational frequency which is why we are not always in constant contact or communication with them.
Operating on a lower vibrational frequency may allow you to capture some really great evp, and photographic paranormal anomalies, as well as physical manifestations (things that can be heard, felt, smelt, seen and moved in the physical world that is caused by spirit energy).
Lower energy will manifest best in cool, dark and quiet places (kind of like mold, I guess). The cliché “Like Attracts Like” serves as the best example when dealing with grounded spirits, but there are instances when a negative spirit attracts to a person who is not negative.
Another cliché comes to mind “Birds Of A Feather Flock Together”; meaning if one negative spirit attracts to a relatively positive person, is it possible that the one negative spirit, itself, then attracts other negative spirits to it and the person (or host)…? Next thing you know, there are several negative spirits attached to one host – lowering the vibrational frequency in a major way with things running amuck at home.
HIGHER VIBRATIONAL FREQUENCIES:
In order to raise the levels of vibrational frequencies you should cleanse the home.
HOW DO YOU COMBAT WITH LOWER vs. HIGHER VIBRATIONAL FREQUENCIES?:
By increasing the vibrational frequency and raise the condition of the atmosphere in order to create an environment that is uncomfortable to host any lower negative entity.
LOWER NEGATIVE ENTITIES ATTRACT TO AND RESPOND TO THEIR SURROUNDINGS:
If the environment is dark, create more LIGHT.
If the environment is quiet, create more SOUND.
If the environment is cold, create more WARMTH.
If the environment in the air is stale, create more AROMAS.
If the environment lacks faith, establish RELIGIOUS CONVICTION AND ARTIFACTS.
CREATE MORE LIGHT BY opening curtains, blinds, drapes, altering interior decor using lighter shades of paint (on bedroom walls or accessories like throw pillows, linens, curtains, towels). Creating more light can also be done by lighting candles. Different color candles have different meanings and effects in order to raise the light and vibrational frequencies in your home.
CREATE MORE SOUND BY playing music of any kind, but to repel negative entities play religious music, classical, nursery rhyme music, anything “uplifting”. Singing bowls are great to use in order to raise the vibrational frequencies anytime, they are made of brass and come with a wooden mallet, but if you don’t have time to play the instrument yourself, different companies sell musical cd’s for this purpose.
CREATE MORE WARMTH BY altering interior decor using lighter, warmer shades of paint (on bedroom walls or accessories like throw pillows, linens, curtains, towels). Different color candles have different meanings and effects in order to raise the warmth and vibrational frequencies in your home.
CREATE MORE AROMAS BY lighting and burning the sage, sweet grass and incense resins on a frequent basis. Creating more aromas can also be done by putting flowers in the house. Different flower types possess different meanings and effects in order to raise the vibrational frequencies in your home.
CREATE MORE RELIGIOUS CONVICTION BY personal faith & belief, prayers & DISPLAY RELIGIOUS ARTIFACTS throughout the home (depending on your religion…use the one’s that would apply to yourself).
PRAYER FOR CLEANSING A HOUSE
By Dr. Preston T. Bailey, JR.
Pray this over every room in the house:
"By the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, I bind every evil spirit that is in this room and command them to flee right now and go where the Lord Jesus Christ sends them. I claim by faith that this room is covered under the blood of Jesus Christ and no evil spirit can enter it."
After going through every room in the house, pray:
"I dedicate and consecrate this home to the Lord Jesus Christ; and Satan has no hold on it.
I surrender everything in this house to the Lord Jesus Christ and claim it under His protection.
I bind every evil spirit that is in this house & command them to flee & to go where the Lord Jesus Christ sends them.
I claim by faith that everything in this house is covered under the blood of Jesus Christ from the top of the roof to the bottom of the footing and everything in between.
I claim by faith that this house is surrounded by a hedge of thorns, a wall of fire, a wall of faith, and covered under the blood of Jesus Christ.
I pray that warring angels would come to protect the four corners of this house and everyone inside.
Thank you for the complete victory we already have in Jesus Christ. AMEN".
COMMON HOUSE CLEANSING RITUALS AND THE NECESSARY TOOLS AND INGREDIENTS:
When cleansing a home of negative energy (spirits) there is a variety of techniques to use. The most common method is to burn certain herbs by placing a small portion on top of a charcoal disk in a fire-proof/heat-resistant bowl, light the charcoal then fan the smoke throughout each room using a quill. Make sure to fan the corners of the rooms and closets to cleanse every bit of space. While smudging, you may recite any type
of prayer to influence the strength of the cleansing.
USE COMMON SENSE AND BE CAREFUL WHEN IMPLEMENTING ANY NEW COURSE OF ACTION.
BOWL (fire-proof/heat-resistant): a novice will use an abalone shell to smudge, but the shell retains heat & burns through. There is glass, but it is not heat-resistant either and can cause burn injury. The best bowl I’ve found to use is a large stone mortar. I also crafted my own little mini-smudge pots by taking small aluminum baking dishes, wrapping 2-3 layers of heavy duty tin foil around the dish and leaving enough extra tin foil to scrunch into a handle so that I can hold it very easily.
QUILL OR HAND-HELD FAN: if using a quill, it’s best to get at least 3 feathers and tie the ends together using a rubber band. Using 3 quills will allow greater centrifugal force in fanning out the smoke to all areas of the rooms in the home being cleansed.
CHARCOAL DISKS: these are sold in packets & light up easily with an igniter.
FIRST - Careful burning things inside, don’t burn yourself & don’t burn down your house.
SECOND - Careful cleansing your home, it’s simple, but don’t apply these methods in a threatening manner - this is a peaceful enactment performed with conviction and assertiveness.
THIRD - It’s best to consult with someone in your local area (i.e.: meta-physical store, etc.). And remember; everyone has their own collection of source knowledge & experience. It’s not who is right or wrong – it’s what method applies to the circumstances, your beliefs, what you feel comfortable doing and what has or has not worked for you in the past.
PLANTS AND RESINS USED TO SMUDGE YOUR HOME:
Two plants frequently used in smudging are Sage and Sweet Grass.
WHITE SAGE – BURN FIRST IN ORDER TO PURIFY YOURSELF AND/OR THE HOME. White sage is usually sold in the form of small or large pre-tied bundles, and is considered the most powerful (or potent) in ridding negative energy. White sage is burned by taking a bundle, lighting the end and then fan the smoke in smudging ceremonies to drive out bad energy.
SWEET GRASS – BURN SECOND AFTER BAD ENERGY IS DRIVEN-OUT IN ORDER TO ATTRACT GOOD SPIRITS. Sweet grass is usually sold in the form of a long braid swatch, and is said to attract positive spirit protection. It is burned by cutting little bits over a charcoal disk or can be burned like white sage.
OTHER INCENSE RESINS – BURN THESE LAST IN ORDER TO ENHANCE AND MAINTAIN THE FLUID AFTER-EFFECTS OF THE SMUDGING. Smoke from these incenses is said to have the ability to ward-off negative energies, “They” being of spirit form and “Gaseous” in nature are unable to “Breathe-In” the smoke from the incense resins.
QUALITY INCENSES AND RESINS:
Don’t use incense sticks, they are made out of artificial materials (i.e.: artificial color, synthetic perfume and fragrances, chemical binders and petroleum by-products). Instead use natural incense that’s scented with real tree sap. Higher quality incense is made out of essential oils, gums and resins.
COPAL incense resin (dried tree sap)
Use to cleanse and purify both spiritual and physical items. Copal comes from various species of the “Bursera” tree in Mexico and South America.
DRAGON'S BLOOD incense resin (dried tree sap)
Use to strengthen the potency and effects of the other incense resins when banishing negative energy, also cleanses & purifies the space from negative entities. Dragon’s Blood comes from the “Draco” tree in Indonesia.
FRANKINCENSE incense resin (dried tree sap)
Use to cleanse & purify a space of negative energies. Frankincense comes from the “Boswellia sacra” plant in Somalia.
MYRRH incense resin (dried tree sap)
Usually blended with frankincense because of its similar properties, and generally it’s used for everything the frankincense is used for but has added healing and attraction properties. Myrrh comes from the “Commiphora myrrha” tree in Africa.
SANDALWOOD incense logs or shavings (tree bark)
Don’t use sticks, use “Chandan Dhoop by Mysore Sugandhi” which is sandalwood made into a paste, formed into logs, or use sandalwood shavings. Use for calming and purification. Sandalwood comes from the “Santalum” tree in India. “Chandan” means sandalwood in Hindu.
