Have you ever walked into a room on a very hot day and you walk through one area of the room and it is freezing. You look up and see there is no air conditioning in the room and it is 90 degrees inside and 96 degrees outside, but, this one spot is frigid. Well, that might have been a spirit. And, you may be working or living with a ghost.
In my experience, ghosts are typically leftover energy from an incident. Or what some experts call a residual haunting. Residual hauntings are benign in nature. They can’t harm you. You may pick up on negative energy if the event that happened was a negative event. This energy doesn’t think or even know that it is there. This event just keeps happening over and over again. If you don’t mind it being there you can just live with it. If it is a positive energy,one day it may go away on its own or it may not really bother you to have it there because it is just something that makes you happy. This type of haunting is easy to dispel by simply doing a house cleansing. You will learn about this in our second podcast.
What happens if it is an intelligent haunting? It speaks to you, it knows that it is there and sometimes you may even see it. Your options are to live with it, cleanse your house and/or ask it to leave voluntarily. Some will listen and some won’t. That is when the cleanse is necessary. Or you may want to cleanse the home because you can feel the negativity and it is effecting you in a bad way. You could also invite someone intuitive into your home, in hopes they can help the spirit move on. Sometimes, in the house cleansing process the spirit will realize it is time to let go and move to what is next for them.
In my experience, people are scared of the unknown. So, it is easier to think that this ghost is really a poltergeist and there to do you major harm. As with witchcraft in the old days when witches were persecuted for no good reason.
So, the next time you feel the presence of a ghost, don’t get scared. And before expelling it, try living with it. Then, ask yourself these questions:
- Is this a negative or positive energy?
- Is this a residual or intelligent haunting?
- How has my life changed since I noticed this ghost?
- Is this something that I can live with?
- Is this entity hurting me or someone else?
Once you have spent some time with this spirit and have answered these questions honestly, then you will know what to do.
