When a new client comes for a Compassionate Clearing, I like to clear entities first. Most people walk in with a variety of entities (unseen beings who attach to our energy fields), and entities can interfere with their clearing. Sometimes, clients will come with a ghost or two attached.

For the most part, ghosts don’t belong here, and I call those beings lost souls.  The majority of souls head back to the Light when they die to begin the process of review and plans for their future. Yet, many leave some aspect of themselves behind to comfort the bereaved. Depending on need, they can stay a week or so, or they can hang out five or more years. In some cases, they return after many years for quick messages.

These ghosts will console those left behind with small gestures to let the living know they are okay, such as entering their dreams to give words of comfort or wisdom. These dreams will feel very real because they are.

Your loved one may manage to exude a smell that is familiar, such as grandpa’s aftershave, grandma’s banana bread, or flowers. When you notice a familiar smell that reminds you of your loved one, it is significant. Pay attention for the message.

In my most intense experience, it was flowers. When my father died, the church was filled with the smell of carnations. For years, I hated that smell, as it reminded me that my daddy was gone. At some point, I forgot. Years later when I was in college, struggling with chemistry, Daddy, who was a medical doctor, contacted me several times to let me know he was helping me with my studies. He was somehow creating that carnation smell in the middle of winter.

The deceased may also manage to direct your attention to a song on the radio to give you a message, or whisper in your thought processes. He may direct you to speak to a stranger who gives you a hidden message.

As long as the contact is friendly, it’s a good thing. On the other hand, there are some ghosts who stay and try to manage your life instead of their own spiritual process. I call those beings “lost souls.”

It may be a concerned grandfather of a neglected child who only wants the best, but stays much too long after death and tries to direct the child’s life indefinitely. It may be an angry person, still intent upon revenge. (Watch out!) It may be someone who is really upset to be dead, and is looking for a host with whom to ride. It often is a former person who worries that he is going to hell once he leaves the earth plane, so he attaches to someone or something.

There are many reasons for souls to try to stay earthbound. However, I believe that the natural order of things is to resume one’s spiritual progress in other realms. While it’s important that souls move on with their spiritual work, they may need to be coerced. It’s my job to get them to do so.

If a deceased loved one hovers nearby soon after his transition, enjoy his presence – that is, if you like having him around. However, be sure to not encourage him to stay too long. He needs to be moving forward in his own spiritual progress.

In last month’s issue, I discussed where entities are found in abundance, and how to best avoid them. If you missed it, you can find it here:  Protect Yourself from Entities. This time, I will address the more complicated issue of how to know when you have entities.

I have noticed that most new clients have entities, especially when they have never been cleared. Entities are very common and seem to enjoy the chaos of this planet. Many feed off of drama.

I’m tempted to say that you won’t know if you have entities unless someone checks you. But actually, I should say that it is difficult to know if they are attached to you. Symptoms often mimic other issues.

Some symptoms of entity attachments:

• Tiredness
• Irritability
• Mental confusion
• Poor memory
• Irrational fear or anger
• Depression and suicidal thoughts
• Vague illness that can’t be diagnosed

See what I mean? Most of these signs could be ascribed to other issues. And, often, we don’t pay much attention when we have them until they begin to dominate our beings.

Some symptoms can even slap an entity-aware person in the face, and he may still not get it. I remember noticing that my former husband who taught multi-handicapped children, was coming home deeply depressed. He didn’t know what was wrong, but under my ongoing questioning, finally admitted that he felt suicidal.

I was shocked, as that is not part of his makeup. But he had been taking his students for work training in a cafeteria at a local mental hospital. While there, an entity jumped him. I did an entity removal, sending it back to the light, and he was immediately cheerful.

So if a person who often works with entities doesn’t know, then how are you to know? Ask yourself these questions:

• Do you feel drained?
• Do you have frequent nightmares?
• Do you hear often self-criticism inside your head?
• Are you ill, and cannot get a diagnosis and treatment that works?
• Do you have a lot of accidents?
• Do you sense something there when no one is in sight?
• Are you depressed with no apparent cause?
• Do you have mental confusion when you used not to have it?
• Are you feeling different and uncomfortable for no apparent reason?
• Are you suddenly experiencing a new addiction to drugs, cigarettes, gambling, sex or alcohol?

Now, there are many reasons for most of the above-listed questions besides entities. However, if you suspect, even just a little, that this behavior has come from unseen sources, it’s best that you have a knowledgeable person check and clear you.

I recommend that everyone have a yearly entity check and removal. Call for your session today. 512-444-9777.

Entities (a general term meaning unseen energies that tend to attach to humans) are everywhere. As anger, despair, and hatred accelerate, more are being attracted to our planet. These boogies, as I call them, feed off the intensity and negativity.

Clients whom I have cleared of entities often ask me how to keep them off. I’m happy to share that information. Since you can learn to avoid them, I’d like to explain what attracts them to a particular person.

As opportunists, entities look for people who are compromised in some way, making them an easier target. Strong emotions such as depression, hatred and rage are attractive to the tricksters. These feelings are like a banner over your head that reads “Come on in!”

While a few live on the body, most entities desire to reside in the auric fields* of a human or animal. Altered states of being such as inebriation through drug usage or excessive alcohol consumption create cracks in the aura that allow easy entry. The cracks may be temporary or, if drug or heavy alcohol consumption is regular, the cracks may be permanent.

Where do you pick them up?  They can be anywhere. Bars and hospitals are the worst places for trickesters. Nursing homes have a lot of lost soul (ghosts) entities, as people die there and may decide to stay there. Entities can be found any place there are crowds of people.

To keep them off I recommend several things:

• Flower essences, as the essences work in the auric field. I particularly recommend Bach Flower’s Rescue Remedy taken internally or splashed on the body before entering a crowded area or where negative people hang out.
•  Any sacred oils such as frankincense, myrrh, rose, and to a lesser degree lavender, daubed on the body. Also, angelica oil is a powerful anti-entity agent.

So how do you get them off of you to begin with? It depends on how bad they are and why they are attached. In mild cases of infestation, you can merely ask your angels and guardians to remove them. Or, you can take Rescue Remedy on a regular basis. In more serious cases, I recommend that you call an expert.

I’ve been removing entities since 1986 – 30 years – and if you need help, I can do that by phone or in person. If you’d like an appointment, call me at 512-444-9777.
