Chandler Spirit Works Blog

Sometimes I hold off writing about difficult clearings because I simply do not want to bring that energy back up again in my memory. Much like we do not welcome memories of car crashes or tough surgeries back into our lives to ponder. As I sit down to write this report, I have reduced certain energy centers in my system (Chakras) so I will not feel the experience as much in recalling it. This is a technique I have learned and over time have perfected so I do not feel emotions as much when working with clients and hearing about challenging times in their lives, or if I am doing a clearing. This focuses my energy higher in my chakra system, so that I see and understand well, but do not have to feel the event so strongly.

The best policy for doing a clearing is to go with a great kit of tools,

have your Guides with you, have great respect for what might be there (like the respect you have for a great wave or storm), but have no fear.  Entities or ghosts are like certain animals that can feel your fear and will take advantage of it. It is also good to have one or two trained assistants with you who know what they are doing. But this often doesn’t work out for me, and I have done a good number of clearings on my own. When I have done my research, my Guides are in tow, and I have a clear understanding of what I am walking into, the clearing/blessing almost always works out okay for all.

I don’t consider my work to be anything like the TV shows about ghost hunters. I am really all about negotiating with energies and spirits. Give respect, respect, respect! But this clearing really does fit the “made for TV” category well – complete with good photos. Lots of movement in a dark, confined space, no place to run or even walk, and here it comes! I do not want to be thrown against a wall or have an entity breach my energetic defenses to my body. This can happen and did happen to a spirit work colleague. She then needed my help in banishing the entity that had attached itself to her. So really, my blog is usually not about ghosts flying towards you eating cupcakes trying to slime you, like the Ghost Busters movie. But this case is a little different.

There have been just a few times that I have been in progress on a clearing, with my Guides close by, that I felt vulnerable. It’s the same kind of feeling you might get if you are tired, driving alone late at night in a neighborhood you are not familiar with, and you get a flat tire. You are fine, maybe you call for service help, and then you see some people walk around the corner of a building right towards you. You feel afraid… and then they stop to ask if you need help. The service vehicle turns the corner, and you are fine.

In my case I did not have a flat tire.  I came face to face with a powerful self-serving entity in a cramped, dark crawl space under an old house, with only my Guides in support and most of my tools out of reach. This energy was not interested in negotiating; it knew why I was there and wanted to take full advantage of my situation. I could not stand to defend myself; I could only shuffle backwards, crouched and crablike on all fours, moving as fast as I could to get to my full bag of clearing tools. Yes, I felt very vulnerable.

But let’s back up a bit and see how this all came together on a hot summer day in the Mission Hills neighborhood of San Diego, California.

This client is a sensitive. Her gifts allow her to notice and see energy on a very high level. Feeling and noticing energy is one thing; clearing unwanted energy is another. You may know that something is around you, that you are not alone. Or that the antique dresser you bought was in a home that had some difficult times. But what do you do then? With some training we can do well in managing our energy and defending our energy field, most of the time.

I have worked with this client for a couple of years, helping to clear her energetically and teaching her about healing and energy stones. I had cleared her home before, in August of 2007, with a trained assistant and my Guides. There was a good deal of energy there, and the clearing took quite awhile. I used a number of tools to remove old imprints.  There were orbs, mostly not a problem, but we saw a ghost walk from her living room into the kitchen who was not interested in communication, and not there for her highest good. Once it went into the kitchen we did not run into its energy again, but I created a boundary to keep it away, just in case. I took photos under the house and a light look did not reveal much energy.  From her paperwork, the readings with rods and photos, and our own abilities, we identified the energy to be cleared from the main living areas and did so. I supplied a list of deflections and Feng Shui remedies. After the clearing, the house energy seemed lighter and remained that way for some time.

From the first clearing, I could see that her home had many challenges. It is on a canyon and most of the house sits on stilts – literally not grounded. The roadway curves left in front of the house, sending the energy from cars and people (or traveling spirits) directly toward the house. Judging by the cigarette butts, gum wrappers, etc., it looks like the sidewalk gets a good deal of foot traffic. The back of the property is open, with no fence or wall to prevent people from coming up the canyon and interacting with the house.

My client requested another clearing in the summer of 2009. There had been break-ins next door, a man had been sleeping in the hammock below her deck, and some of her personal property, including mail, was missing. She lived alone in this old house with her two cats, and I felt she had lost interest in it – it had become too much for her to manage energetically. With the challenges of the house itself, and with her being a sensitive, energy was attracted like moths to a flame. She was running out of the energy reserves to keep them away.

Based on my research for this second clearing, I wanted the support of an assistant. With two of us and our Guides, we would have the strength needed if we had to confront something that was not open to negotiation. As it turned out, I wasn’t able to get an assistant lined up, but that was okay – I felt I could handle it.

My client felt energy was coming from below the house. On a couple occasions, we had placed energy stones under the house, and previously, I had felt energy moving up like a vortex in the old heating system in the living area and along the chimney. But to be honest, this time it felt mild. It seemed to me that her own energy was very low and maybe what she really needed was some time away from her home, a vacation to regroup and relax.

I cleared the living space of the home first. Walking from room to room, the clearing moved rather fast. There were no orbs to be photographed. But I got the strong feeling that her home was no longer being imprinted by her energy. There was a void in the home from this lack of imprint, but no energy present, other than her and her kitties.

I headed to the driveway to make my way under the house. I asked my client to burn some sage and use Reiki symbols to keep it clear upstairs, in case I ran into something that wanted to exit without giving me a chance to communicate. She gave me the key to unlock the crawl space door with and down I went.

Under the house, I felt like I was in another time, over a hundred years past. I found an old broken wooden pipe like you see in the movies. There were wire strands tacked here and there that maybe held wood or pipes at one time. A bit of light came in through the crawl space door and also through some small patches where the shingle siding of the house had broken. But the space was mostly dark and definitely too short to stand up in. I had to move crouched down, sometimes on hands and knees, progressing bit by bit.

As I took readings with my rods, moving about with difficulty, I found it hard to carry everything – my bag of tools, my rods, flashlight, and camera. So I left the bag, grabbing a small container of holy water and sea salt, and moved deeper under the house. I would use the salt to create a barrier once I was done clearing the crawl space, and I wanted the holy water with me – just in case.

It was hot and stuffy. My clothes were drenched with sweat and getting caked with dust and dirt from below. But I kept moving, doing energy reading and taking photos, clearing spaces as I went. The readings and photos help me find the energies that are difficult to see, or are perhaps hiding.

Then I came upon something very odd. There was a pile of sand. Not that unusual – my client loved the beach and maybe she had thrown some under the house. But this sand pile had a drawing in it.

And not a comforting image at all. It reminded me of what I might expect to see drawn on a wall in the final minutes of the Blair Witch Project. It looked kind of like a bird or owl, with deep set eyes. I felt that someone had been under the house, probably up from the canyon. But the more I looked at the drawing with my flashlight, the more it seemed to be co-created. Perhaps someone, maybe even my client, got under the house, then found themselves in a trance… that’s what it felt like to me. It was like automatic writing (how spirits write through you), but instead of writing it was a drawing of a strange creature. With talons, deep set eyes, and strong wings it was really saying, “Keep away!” The more I looked at it, the more I felt connected to its energy. And the more I felt my tire go flat someplace I would rather not be.

Clearing this symbol became my next priority. I looked around quickly with my flashlight, took a couple photos and used my rods to help me see energy. I asked if there was anyone or any energy form that needed assistance. Dead silence, just a small creak of the floorboards above. All seemed clear, the photos showed nothing in the air, no orbs, so I proceeded with my work. I surrounded the drawing space with holy water while doing a blessing. Then I used sea salt to seal the space and started drawing Reiki symbols in the air above to hold energy in. The area felt larger than it was as my holy water and salt created a perfect circle around the drawing.

Then I felt a huge surge of energy come up from the ground in front of me, like the earth itself was being pulled up. When I looked up, it was like a wall of energy stood before me. The underside of the house fell away to the canyon and although there was structure around me, I felt the fast decline of earth in front of me.

I quickly said, “I am not here to push others aside, if this is your home and you are in harmony with those living here, that is fine.” Then I asked, “Do you need help in any way?” I am sure this all came out of me very fast, and it was the last thing I said for several minutes. I felt the energy moving towards me, like a sand storm or a sheet of cold hard rain, but this was solid energy. I started to crab-walk backwards as fast as I could. I needed to regroup. I wanted some tools out of my bag and I wanted a wall behind me. I was out in the open – vulnerable.  I could not stand up, or even walk on my knees. There were support beams and pipes that I had to maneuver around and under as I went. I mostly found them by running into them.

With this energy moving fast toward me, I started thinking, “Next steps! Guides be strong, go to my sides!” My Guides as orbs can move very fast and will assist in any way they can. I was sending all my energy in front of me to block the entity’s movement. My flashlight was hanging by a cord on one hand and my camera hanging on the other. The camera kept getting in my way, dragging along in the dirt as I moved toward my bag. So I stopped just for a moment and took a shot. I felt a strong surge moving to my right, which, in the photo, appears as a visible fog or mist in the previously clear air. 

I stopped to block the energy for a moment, and asked a Guide to move that direction, and I took another shot. Just that quickly, the mist was gone. The energy seemed to be moving in multiple directions now, but my crab-scramble was getting me ever closer to my bag of energy tools.

I felt something to my left and quickly took another photo.  Finally, I lunged to my bag and pulled out sprays, stones, and herbs very fast. At this point there was no thought of, “Let’s talk this out, can’t we just get along?” It was, who is stronger and who is going to attach or deflect or weaken the other.

With my back protected and my tools in hand, I held my ground and deflected the energy that was moving towards me from the front and the right side. As the next several minutes went by there were more surges toward me, but I noticed they were not as strong. It was kind of like standing next to an open fire pit. From time to time, the fire really catches and burns and you can feel the intense heat, so you move back for a minute until it calms down again. That is how this felt but more dense and electric, and unlike a contained fire, it moved all around me like a cat in the dark.

This encounter lasted about twenty minutes. I was able to remove this energy from under the house because it showed itself as I was closing a portal it had been using (the drawing in the sand). And it was determined to get at me, rather than just hide and wait. So our jousting took its energy down to a level that I could work with.

With my tools, my Guides, and my own energy, I could move it out of the space and seal the house off from it, at least for the short term.

What I want to say next is very important. If you had come along with me on this clearing to assist, you may have noticed what I did. But depending on your gift, it might have been more a feeling, not seeing, or just an energy awareness. You may not really have known that something was right in front of you. You might have felt something like a small sting if it energetically attacked you, or it might have thrown you off your feet. Or you may not have noticed it at all. We all see and feel and notice differently; we all have our reality and how we relate to it. But if you had this energy contact, a couple days later you might feel tired, like you were coming down with a cold. Your dreams might become less fun, even slightly upsetting. This might increase over time. Your attention to what you do might lessen, your work might suffer, or your relationships shift. You might even start saying things out of character for you, or the world might just feel out of balance, like something is missing. You might recognize that you are not alone. It is important that you know what you are doing when you get into these situations. Be very respectful, have heightened awareness, and hold on to what brings you spiritual confidence. There is overwhelming good out there and just a few energies like this one who are self-serving. This is true in the flesh and in spirit energy.

I drove up to but never went on this property again. My client had lived there for a few years, but moved out a few months later and left the city.

Ann & Robert’s Ranch House and Land Clearing/Blessing

 

Ann and Robert had worked with me while living in San Diego, on psychic awareness training among other things. They had purchased property in Arizona for retirement. They were living on the property while the home was being remodeled, and began to have concerns about the space, and felt it needed clearing.

 

Ann felt uneasy on the property, and was being awakened from sleep at 1:45 am regularly. The dogs and cats felt stressed, and the two dogs seemed to see orbs or energy moving through the home, nervously looking at ceilings and corners. When they first moved in the dogs would not come into the house unless forced.  The animals avoided certain rooms and their behavior had changed since moving there.

 

There had been a shooting death on the property in the past. The house felt kind of heavy to them, but the bunkhouse, where the shooting took place felt very heavy. It was felt that the property was sacred Indian land, but the land had suffered serious abuse – garbage dumped, buildings in disrepair, drug addicts living there. A boy who lived there before had seen the spirit of a tall cowboy on the porch; a previous tenant of the home was a tall thin cowboy who died there. A neighbor said he had seen a Hispanic woman walking in front of the house. When he tried to talk to her, he said she split into two and was gone.  Ann had the feeling of not being alone in the ranch house, mostly in the family room. Repairs to the house seemed to take longer than they should. Robert felt spirits pass through the house, but they didn’t seem to bother him.

 

Based on the information they provided, and the multiple orbs showing in the photos they sent, I felt there was a very good chance there was spirit activity at the ranch.

 

Arrival Friday 7:30 pm

 

Driving to the ranch you can see the land was damaged by many mines from time past.

The towns in the area seem to be fading – nature taking them back and providing an opportunity for the land to heal.

At the ranch – as I come through the gate, I feel “peek-a-boo” energy that is not fully sharing itself. I enter the house and feel there is energy there but again not showing itself. I just introduce myself, knowing I have a couple of days to work with what I find.

 

Entering the front door, to the left it felt calm, but as I moved to the right, I felt strong energy – the most I had encountered so far – so I introduced myself again. That first night, Ann heard the pull switch on the floor lamp knocking against the lamp. Peek-a-Boo might be at work.

 

I was waiting until Saturday to start the clearing, but I set up and started the tape recorder in the house to see if there is contact the first night.

 

I tried to phone out; no service to my cell phone. I’m sleeping in a small trailer, and the wind is moving fast. Comfortable and cozy as I wait to see if there is a visit.

 

I set my travel alarm clock for 6:30, so I could get up early and do some work. I’ve had this clock for years, and it has always been accurate. But even though I could clearly see that it was set to go off at 6:30, the alarm instead went off at 1:45 both mornings, the time that Ann had been awakened since living at the ranch house.

 

Wee Hours of Saturday Morning

 

I had turned down the heater, preferring to sleep in a cooler space. As the night went on, I felt energy move into the trailer. I said hello and took a couple of photos (did not see anything). I fell asleep with my guard up just a bit.

 

A while later with a chill on my back side, I thought my blanket must have fallen off me. But when I reached back to grab the cover, my hand went through cold. I felt some sadness, but mostly gratitude to be close. This was young energy wanting close contact: the boy from the bunk house. I got an image of him in the bunk house just sitting on the floor waiting. I let him stay with me this evening – he just wanted to be closer – his energy told me he seldom leaves the bunk house because there are so many others walking around the ranch and it scares him. It was an odd feeling to have this cold energy against me. I have felt this before in homes I have cleared, but seldom do I have continuous contact. Here we had an agreement. I can tell you this, lay next to a ghost and you see some of its past. The energy clings to you –not just your body, but to your spirit. It took a couple weeks after this experience to fully remove some of the thought s and images this ghost passed on to me. I played the Cowboy Junkies on my iPod and we both fell asleep. What dreams there were!

 

Saturday Morning

Time to start the clearing. Who are the energy players to consider?

 

• The harm to the land – difficult Feng Shui to say the least.

• Child ghost in bunk house.
• Tweaker’s energy – they hang around due to their own low energy?
• Cowboy on the front porc.h
• Person that died? Lightning struck his spurs and killed him.
• Native Americans, lots of reasons to be resentful.
• Hispanic woman (spirit) on the road who split in half and faded away.
• Perhaps there is some disagreement, miscommunication, minor anger between Ann & Robert – I need to find out if this is playing into the energy around here.

 

I will start with the outside grounds. I ask Ann & Robert to give me two hours alone with their home, either tonight or Sunday night so I can work the energy with it.

There is so much swirling around here. It feels like some sort of crossroads.

 

A place of hunger – several days before this clearing, I became less interested in food. Now that I am here I understand. There is an overall feeling of hunger on this land.

• To heal it – the Natives hunger for this.
• Child in bunk house – to be held and released. He hungers for comfort.
• Tweakers – They hunger for the drug and how it masks real feelings in their lives.
• Cowboy on the front porch – He hungers for how it used to be when this was his porch.
• Ann & Robert – They hunger to make this place blossom into their home, and hunger for the change they desire at this time in their lives.

 

Clearing the Grounds on a Full Moon Day

(A rather cold day I might add.)

 

I start with the entrance to the ranch. There is a gate at the entrance; people have to get out of their cars to open this gate. It is to keep cattle within the ranch property, as this is open range. Several cars a day come by this spot and it is in fairly close proximity to the ranch house. I spent a good amount of time clearing the gate area, and then added symbols in the earth to help the clearing hold and to deflect energy that drifts towards the ranch house.

 

Moving towards the ranch house, I felt the footsteps of many who had been here before. Some were doing just fine, others facing major challenges. I had felt strongly that clearing the gate area was needed to pay homage to Native Americans. This feeling would increase as I worked to clear other parts of the property. I created a small talisman of feathers and a broken arrowhead to pay respect to the land and its people that have been broken over time. I walked around the house and cleared the grounds of energy and drew some symbols into the earth.

 

On the dog’s fence in the back, I added tobacco for respect and for protection for the animals that are outside.

 

[Notes to Ann & Robert: I would place a fresh talisman every now and then at the gate, as the one I put there fades. This will help keep the communication open and positive to the Native American energy. Their energy knows you two are different than many others who came before you.

 

Consider moving all stray items in the front yard over towards the old fire pit at the far end of the fenced lot. Clutter invites unwanted energy to your location. The energies tend to have cluttered minds and are usually self-serving. Leave as little as possible around that will attract this type of energy.]

 

Moving back toward the road I came face to face with the dump. “The dump” is a reality of life in most cultures, on land and sea and now even space. Our rubbish is left in these out-of-the-way places, so we do not have to see as it piles up over time. Living near a dump can be difficult, but it is an especially harsh contrast in this landscape of subtle beauty. The dump collects energy – energy loves it and pulls from it what it can. [If possible, the dump should be covered and healed soon. I know there are many tasks at hand on the ranch. But covering this up and planting native brush or sage, or some of the scattered prickly pear cactuses and century plants will go a long way to heal the energy of this land and the ranch.]

 

I created another talisman of feathers (crow and parrot feathers with abalone shell) to fly above the dump area, to let all know it will be here for just a short time longer and healing is on the way.

 

I knew coming here would stir up my emotions. I am practiced at managing emotions to work with energy, but the dump was difficult. It reminded me of the movie “Dancing with Wolves,” when he came to the outpost and saw the beauty of land and then the realization of what others had done to it. The water was soured with dead animals and trash was strewn everywhere down the hill to the pond. He cleaned it up and helped heal the land. As you know, his connection to the native people became strong… but his connection for the land was there from the beginning.

 

[Ann, you have a strong connection with this land, and this is not surprising with one of your Spirit Guides being a Native American. It is important for both of you to take your time to heal the land and home. As we talked about, sometimes the order of our list changes given the priority at hand. As I write this, the two of you are taking your bathroom apart and opening up the floor to fix a pipe so you can have hot water – top priority!]

 

As we all should do from time to time, I asked for forgiveness and healing for the land. Using sacred symbols from Reiki – mental, emotional, the energy of lasting events – I asked for the space to continue to heal and the consequences of trespassing for the natives of the land not to be directed to the caregivers that live here now.

 

Moving on with the clearing: The tree to the right, before the dump, is almost a channel for energy. It feels to me there is a past and current path of energy that moves by the bunk house, dump, main gate, and ranch house. I can feel loop energy at my feet, as well as animals passing by. Under the tree, there are many stones collected from the area, and among the stones is a broken grinding bowl. It is a reminder of the past inhabitants of this injured land and of a broken way of life.

 

The tree area seems like a crossroads for people and energy of the distant past and recent past, death, drugs, a large family (possible hunger). As Ann and I took a break and walked around the fence perimeter and down the road, she mentioned a bathroom incident (with her husband) where something fell on the floor and nothing was there when he looked, but it felt mischievous. I feel the young boy’s energy is comfortable around them and moves toward them in the night. I took a photo of an orb right by the bunk house door – he was checking me out, came out to say hello. Sunday I will read both his energy and the bunk house, and let him know he can fully transition. But I think he may stay on awhile, as long as Ann and Robert are alright with it. He seems to need the in-between connection at this time, to experience part of a childhood that he never had.

 

Tonight I will clear the main house. Ann and Robert will go out to dinner and this will give me an open connection to the home and spirit energy. There is some stuck energy from the tweakers for sure, and also some dream interruption coming from both the child and Native Americans, I think. Ann and/or Robert may connect more with this in the next year or so.

 

Saturday Night Full Moon Clearing of the Ranch House

 

After being around the ranch for a full day, I already felt where some of the energy was held up, stuck, and looping (repeating). I knew I was going to have to do this clearing with just my guides and myself. There was an option for assistance, but I did not know this person well enough. Ann was ready to help if called upon, but I felt there was going to be a good deal of energy moving and I did not want any of it to stick to her. So I was fine going into the ranch house with my guides and a fresh bag of tools. Plus I had one dog to assist (who started by sleeping on the bed).

 

Entering the home from the front door, I felt a good deal of “cob webs.” This is clinging energy, in general. It is much like walking through an old barn and having cob webs all over or walking into a smoke-filled room. It is hard to read everything until you clear away the cob webs – energetic house cleaning so all can be seen and felt.

 

As I started on the left side of the house with the bookcases on the two walls, the space felt like it was still imprinted by others that had lived there before. It did not fully feel like Ann and Robert’s energy. Many days of sitting by the fire to warm up, and days lying around on drugs came to my vision. This was cleared.

 

[To help keep this area clear, please move a lamp and chair of yours to this spot. The lamp should be turned on for awhile every day. (This was done before I left.) Also, a salt lamp in the bookcase would work well to move energy, as it generates negative ions (a good thing). Both the salt lamp (on during the night) and the floor lamp can be on a timer so you do not have to remember to do this. I left a tall candle in the bookcase that has high energy in it to keep clearing the space after I left. And burn a little sage on occasion.]

 

The kitchen has been heavily imprinted by Ann and Robert, and it seems there has been a good deal of work done to it. I think the door was replaced right before I got there. If the kitchen is used for cooking and enjoying food, the room will be yours very fast. If you use a room regularly, your fresh energy just brushes away old energy like a broom.

 

[Think about  putting crystals in the window above the sink. They create energy movement by throwing rainbows throughout the space.]

 

The same is true of the main living space with that very nice large TV. This area, with the viewing table Robert made, the collection of items in it, the paintings on the wall, and statue from the parents (along with the dogs and cats on the couch) all come together to make this space yours. There is little room for other energy, although there was still some minor stuck energy. This place has the strongest imprint from Ann and Robert in the home!

 

[Consider moving the chair to the right of the door as you come in; it is breaking up the energy flow. It can move over toward the left of the TV and then move back whenever it is in use. Remember, these are just suggestions; do what feels right to you. Just make sure your energy is being imprinted as needed.]

 

As I moved toward the bathroom and computer room, the energy started to shift a bit. I felt the energy imprint of the child from the bunk house, more like a trail of energy into the bathroom and heading into the computer room. These two rooms are the main areas the young boy feels comfortable visiting. His energy is not threatening or harmful. It seems to want some contact and to be noticed, and it is capable of playing. So if you run into him again, it may be in a playful way. Moving items, making some minor noise, skipping by. It seems like the two of you are in agreement to this. Just let him know that you have boundaries if you start to feel uncomfortable. And that he can walk into the light any time he wants, not to be afraid, there are many waiting for him to come home.

 

Note: All the time I am moving through rooms, I am using sage, bells, holy mist, singing bowls, candles, Reiki symbols, Peru wood sticks, photos, stones, mirrors and other objects to clear these spaces. These tools assist in moving the cob webs and smoke from in each room. The home is not that big, but it took two hours to clear to this point.

 

The computer room was where I felt something was afoot, in the words of Sherlock Holmes. I could not put my finger on it, but my bed-sitting animal assistant and I were not at ease. I could not see or find the source of this unease. The computer room is crowded; it needs some space cleared so energy can move out. Although it feels like you are in this space, the imprinting is mainly around the computer station. There is a good deal of energy stuck in the corners. By even moving the one floor lamp out you can notice the difference. But finding a way to move other items out would be highly recommended. This room has mixed energy and being so close to the road, this is very inviting to energy passing by. I spent a good deal of time in this room because it needed it. The boy’s energy, the cowboy’s, and some Native American energy were in here. The room was full but it felt okay – just crowded. I would sage this room often and possibly run a fan in it from time to time. Opening windows toward the horses would be good because that brings their feeling closer to the home and they are in your heart.

 

I had already walked through the laundry/shop room. There was very little energy of anyone in there, so it cleared easily.

 

I was nearing the end of my work. I had done walk-throughs of all the rooms but one – the master bedroom.

 

As I entered the bedroom, the dog was on full guard. I could see the room better now. Since I had cleared the rest of the house, it drained this room of its cobwebs and smoke. I could really start to see that this room did not belong to Ann and Robert! The room had very little of their imprint. [Prints need to be added to the walls. Each of you needs to add your belongings to the space, family photos, knick-knacks, whatever it may be.] I did not feel alone in here, but I had not seen anything. I was using my divining rods at this time because they can pick up very subtle energy; tonight’s clearing had been going on for awhile and the two hours outside earlier in the day had taken a toll. As I started to scan the left side of the room with the rods, I felt I was being watched and not just by the nervous dog. The dog was starting to move away toward the left side of the bed, when it had spent the entire evening on the right side. I stopped for a moment to ready my hands and third eye. Then I asked the question, “Is this space clear?” and wait for my guides to answer with the rods. If they cross, it is clear. If they open up, the space is not clear. The rods were giving me a clear signal. As I scanned towards the bed, they started to uncross. Moving across the bed, the rods started to shift, and the dog and I started to shift. It was like all of a sudden I was standing on what had just been thick, solid ice, but now it was thin and I could see the current below me moving fast. As I got past the bed towards the far left window, the rods were not giving me a clear signal anymore. Then I moved to my right, where the coat rack was, and the rods flew wide open and hit me in the sides of my face. This was quite unexpected and to say the least gave me great pause.

 

The room had cleared, the webs were gone, the smoke had lifted. I was face to face with something that was not pleased I was in the home, and really not pleased that I had found it. So being as casual as one can be in this situation, I slowly backed out of the room with the rods near my face as if I had forgotten something in the other room. There was no way I was going to show my back to this thing. We were reading each other, and I could tell that this entity did not want to communicate or talk. It wanted me gone and it felt like a snake ready to strike if I gave it the slightest reason to do so.

 

Back in the front room I dug deep in my clearing bag. I pulled out my strongest tools, started to run my orbital energy, and pulled my guides close to me. I remembered that I had asked a couple of spirit friends to send me energy this evening from San Diego, and I felt they were with me as well. They would definitely be needed.

 

Moving back into the room reinforced the reality that only one of us would be left there when we were done. I came in with the words, “You really have to leave now; this is not your home and what you are doing here is not in balance with the reality of this home and those that inhabit this space.” And so the fight began. I do not feel the need to go into detail about this now. I might in the future, but I did not even want to talk about this with anyone for several days after I got home from the clearing, not even my lovely wife. I will just say that it ended well, the entity is no longer in the home and when it left it was in such a weak state that I do not see it returning or being able to connect with anyone in the near future. Once again, I was given the opportunity to learn a lesson or two, and to be able to move forward knowing I had helped. But contact was made with a self-serving entity and being a flesh-and-blood person, that can be hard to shake off.

 

When I got home, I had an email from one of my friends who sent me energy that evening. This is what it said:

 

John,

Good afternoon!

At one point, Saturday, it felt like the sounds of the light saber from Star Wars in my head when I stopped and put protection around you….

I was completely entertained, but am hopeful that it moved to the state of Nevada……

 

It is my guess if it felt that huge in my mind, the light I sent may have been the size of Tinker bell and a small impact…….I am learning!

I had LARGE hopes…..

 

Hope all is well!

Take Care!!!!

 

Her impact was not small! I feel it made all the difference in the world in what I was doing at the time.

 

With the threat gone, the dog and I regained our composure. I now understood why the boy’s energy was mostly in the bathroom and computer room. The bedroom had been full of the big bad wolf! Now it was time for some remedies to keep the room and home clear of any other visitors like this one. Stones were placed in the doorway where the entity left. A mirror was hung to deflect any returning energy; a sage wand was pinned outside the door to keep the space clear. A large mirror was put in place to keep road energy from moving in this direction. Black tourmaline was put under the mattress to keep unwanted spirit energy away and help with sleep. Peru clearing sticks were left on the pillows. [I would suggest moving the clothes rack (I think you did) and maybe put the long dressing mirror there. I would add rice paper to the windows to let light in, but not other’s peering eyes.]

 

Sunday 8:00 am

I went over my clearing notes with Ann. She said she had the best night’s sleep she has enjoyed in a long time.

 

I asked Ann to help create a healing circle near the old tree. We used stones that came from under the tree and the broken grinding bowl as the center piece. We made an offering bag of tobacco, juniper berries, abalone shell, and papaya seeds from Mexico all wrapped in a tissue from the ranch house. We dedicated this offering to the energy of the past people and then said a blessing prayer. In this prayer we asked for the Native American energy to watch over the new land guardians that are here now, and help them grow and heal the land. This felt good and it seemed to be an agreement held by all.

  

 

The Shed Adjoining the Bunk House

When I opened the door, there was an energy release. I feel much of the couple’s past is stored in here – perhaps some they have not really left behind yet. To the left the first thing I see is a Top Cop trophy of Robert’s and a photo of Ann with her horse. So walking in here could create a melancholy feeling for them. Their lives are in a growth period and this takes a little time to work through. Walk lightly with each other.

 

The energy in here is disjointed – not arranged. Organization of the area would be helpful – even just stacking items in place. This would allow for energy flow. [If possible take a half-day and do some light organizing.]

 

Revisiting the Bunk House

The boy had left. He told me at one time that he wanted to visit Ann and Robert more, but when I went in the bunk house, he was not there. I heard the sound of singing birds as I walked in – maybe his release. Maybe he found a spirit friend to run with in the hills, but he was definitely not there. I cleared the space – it moved easily. It does not feel like the space has been used in some time other than to hold some stuff and one young spirit. When I first walked the grounds and came by the bunk house, I asked the boy if he would like to show himself to me. I let him know that I was here as a friend and he could be close if he liked. (This was before he visited me at night in my trailer.) I took a photo and a single orb can be seen just outside of the bunk house door. Peek-a-boo.

 

Funny, as I finished my notes on this clearing, I was on my last sheet of paper and my memory card was completely full on my camera. I guess the clearing is complete – 10:35 am Sunday.

 

Postscript: Energy is REAL. As I mentioned, before I came out to clear this property, I felt a sense of hunger about the place. I lost a lot of my own appetite, but I felt it was an effort to get close to the energy there, and be able to work with it. When I returned home after the clearing, I still had an almost unhealthy lack of appetite. My taste for certain favorite foods completely disappeared. I lost a lot of weight in a short time. I feel better now, and am glad to be down to a healthier weight again, but it was not the easiest way to get there.
