Persistent Spirits
By Tina Gilson
I was contacted by someone living north of me, close to the Canadian border, who was having issues with a spirit harming him. He had spent about a year following someone else’s advice and doing all the things he was told to try in order to get rid of it on his own. He smudged his house, had his home investigated, told it to go away, and an assortment of other attempts were made. He continued to be attacked, and his family was being impacted by it in other ways as well.
I spoke with him at length and we set a date for me to go to his home. I created a protection jar and some black salt for protection as well. I wrote down the directions for him on how to make more if he needed to, as I didn’t know how big the home was, if the trouble was isolated to a particular area or the entire home, or other details about the physical space.
I investigated his home and did a variety of clearing techniques. I was able to determine a lot of information on what was going on and details about the family that I was not told prior to my arrival. While I need certain details about the activity taking place, I try not to get too much information in advance. Knowing too much beforehand has the potential to taint one’s impressions, but it’s also more validating to the client if I can share things with them I had not been told ahead of time.
When I was done, I met with him and shared all the information I received, what I had done, and how to use the protection jar and black salt. I told him he and at least two of his children are intuitive and have mediumship abilities. I explained this meant spirits will be drawn to them, regardless of how much they smudge, but that he can manage it so it is not overwhelming or out of control.
Some of the most important pieces of information I shared with him regarding the specific entity that was attacking him were vital to keeping it at bay. I reminded him that he has the body, so he has the power. People often falsely believe that because it is in spirit form and cannot be seen, nor does it have the same physical limitations as the living, it has more power than they do. This is simply not the case.
More importantly, I stressed that just because the spirit was gone, that did not mean it couldn’t return. I told him people often unintentionally call them back in, usually just from talking about them and the experiences they had. I explained how to act like it never happened, how to avoid calling it back, and what to do if he believed he had inadvertently called it back in.
While some spirits are harder to deal with than others, there’s always help available.
