Spiritual Hygiene

Often clients will come to me for help at a point of being completely overwhelmed by crisis.  Perhaps their relationship is in serious trouble or they’ve been experiencing poor health, or simply unexplainable bad luck.  Whether or not these clients practice magick or spirit contact themselves, they may suspect that there is a more sinister force at work, causing their ill fortune.  It could be surrounded them, or their home.  At this point, I can perform a ritual of uncrossing or banishment, to remove any curse or spiritual attack that they may be victim of.  This is literally, a form of psychic surgery.  Just like with our physical and mental health, our spiritual health and wellbeing need constant care.  Prevention is so much better than cure, just like eating a healthy balanced diet and getting physical exercise is preferable to waiting until a diagnosis of heart disease or diabetes is made, before consulting a doctor for invasive surgery or treatment.

So what is negative energy?  Everything in the universe is made up of energy.  Living creatures, spirits, objects, the earth’s elements, absolutely everything in existence has an energetic signature.  Energy can build up like a residue, affecting places, objects, and people.  Have you ever entered the home of someone who is a heavy smoker? They may not be home, they may not have been home for days, but you can still smell the lingering odour of the smoke.  Similarly, if an argument, an accident or a death has occurred in a home or another building, the residue of that unhappiness and negative energy can linger beyond the event itself.  Negative energy can also be caused by spiritual entities attaching themselves to human hosts and syphoning their energy.  They might be earth bound ghosts which were once human, or spirit creatures that never had a living body.  They will attach themselves to the etheric field and the aura of the weak, and cause physical ailments and mental ill health symptoms.  A person can be vulnerable to attack if they are already sick or depressed, or if they are abusing drugs or alcohol.  Lastly, negative energy can be sent from human to human in the form of a curse or ‘evil eye’.

About curses:  Curses can come in many forms.  It is said that every word we think and speak is a spell, and that is why we call it ‘spelling’.  When we think hateful or resentful thoughts about someone, feel envious of them, or speak badly about them, we can unknowingly send negative energy their way.  When we speak angrily at someone, perhaps swearing at them (or cursing at them) we are indeed cursing them.  At the most extreme level, a witch may perform a ritual or be hired to perform a ritual, invoking spirits to cause harm to a target.  It is at this point that clients will come to me, feeling overwhelmed.

While we may not be able to control other peoples’ actions or ill-will towards us, we can build up our own spiritual resilience, leaving us less vulnerable to psychic or spiritual attack.

Physical and mental health:  The stronger we are health-wise, the stronger our aura will be.  Looking after our health with a nutritious diet, regular exercise, good sleep and meditation is extremely important.  I will write another blog entirely on the subject of diet and spiritual power as this is a huge topic in itself.  Avoiding too much alcohol or recreational drugs is also important.

Ritual baths:  Ritual baths can be beneficial for general clearing of negative energy and building up a layer of psychic protection.  You should wash your body before a ritual bath, by taking a regular shower.  In your bath you can simply have dead sea or Epsom salts and you can also add additional oils and waters such as rue oil, hyssop oil, uncrossing oil and Florida water.  It’s important to fully submerge your entire body and head at least once and to allow yourself to drip dry after the bath if possible.  Don’t rinse the water off if you can help it.

Your physical environment:  I believe that there is a great deal of truth in the teachings of Feng Shui.  To allow ‘chi’ or energy to flow freely, avoid clutter in the home.  You can wash your floors with Florida water, or other spiritual washes available from hoodoo supply stores.  Open your windows regularly and allow sunlight and fresh air in.  You can also smudge your home with white sage, paying particular attention to dark corners.  Sea salt can also be used in the home, either by placing a small amount in the corners of each room and at the entrances and window sills.  Alternatively, you can add sea salt to a bowl of fresh water, envisaging a bright healing light filling the solution in the bowl, and sprinkling it around your home.  Sound is also a powerful tool.  Clear the air by chiming a singing bowl, or playing high vibrational frequency music in your home.
