Spirit releasement is among the most important work that a psychic medium can perform, helping direct earthbound entities into the Light. I received a call from an engineer at Harris who told me he didn’t believe in this stuff but suddenly his house is haunted and he was referred to me by an unnamed mutual friend who said I can banish demons and bad spirits. Not what I’d put on my resume, but I told him I’d check it out. I met with Domino, a 30 something very conservative, left brained engineer, his wife, her grandmother and their 8 year old daughter. We sat at the dining table and I explained what we’d spend the next hour or two doing. When I feel their response to what I’m saying, that helps me know how to word things so they understand. Their understanding of the process is a factor in how successful the house clearing will be. Once the solution becomes clear in consciousness, the problem disappears on its own.
After the briefing, I did some preliminary setting out of water and salt at the open doorways, then we all joined hands at the table and began saying the Lord’s Prayer together. Almost as if on cue, the dishes in the kitchen cabinets began to rattle and the doors on the cabinets began to shake. “That’s what they do,” Domino’s wife said as she broke the circle, got up and took her daughter out of the house. I explained ahead of time there might be some spooky looking stuff going on but that it was all natural and nothing to be afraid of. She said if she felt nervous, she would go wait in the garden until we were done, so that’s where she went. The remaining three of us again joined hands and said the Lord’s Prayer three times without incident.
Then we took a walk through the house to see what was what. It was quickly clear there was a new presence attached to a desk. After asking about it, it turned out he’d gotten it a few weeks earlier at a garage sale. He agreed it was about that time that he started to feel haunted but he had not connected the two before. In addition to the dishes rattling, he would hear sounds of walking and opening doors and cabinets, he would smell cigar smoke, but when he looked, there was nothing there.
I suggested we move the desk out of the house to work on it. He did not want to touch it, so the grandmother and I carried it out to the garden. It was a beautiful dark wood and we cleaned it with oil and vinegar, then smudged it and did the releasement ritual and left it in the sun while we went back into the house.
The grandmother was about my age and I felt very energetically supported by her presence. The greater part of her knew what was going on and was participating. Domino, on the other hand, clearly did not like having his world changed in this way. We proceeded through the rest of the house, clearing and sealing room by room. The house was immaculately clean and orderly, so it was a pleasure to walk through.
We brought the desk back into the house and you could tell it felt differently. He didn’t want it back inside, though, so we ended up putting it at the end of the laundry area in the garage. I made him help us carry it, so he could see how it felt and see there was nothing to be afraid of with the desk itself.
The weird sounds and smells did not happen the next night, nor the next, nor since. Domino told me he didn’t know what was going on and he didn’t believe in any of this, but it definitely felt better since we did whatever we did. He didn’t even want to know what we really just did, he said. I find that’s often best. People get freaked out by things that transcend their familiar band of perception. Sometimes you don’t need a long explanation, you just need to be open to the fact that there is simply a greater reality. And it’s nothing to be afraid of.
