Friday "Spirit Rescuing"

Dear Diary,

I have recently been working on some spirit rescues and I wanted to make a note of some of the things that I have learned by doing this kind of work. The reason for the name spirit rescue is because it is really about rescuing the spirit that is trapped or feels the need to be connected to the physical side of existence. When I first started to learn how to clear houses and to work with the spirits I had a teacher that taught that we could pull the disembodied spirit into an open portal then close and seal the portal shut. What I found by doing this type of clearing is that while it brought resolution to the household it didn't help the spirit that was being trapped or tormented by being stuck. By doing this we caused a lot more anger in the spirit when they found another door to return or when they were caught somewhere else still lost.

The other thing I learned was that when you go into a home it is important to talk to the spirit to help them get ready for moving into the light. Again remembering that the spirit has free will and for them to move into a higher frequency they have to be the ones to choose to go where they can be cared for and loved. Many for whatever reason may be afraid or for some reason want to stay connected to this side and so they continue to be stuck in what you may call purgatory. It is all of our destiny to move on into the light once we break from the physical body to continue our own evaluation of existence and connection with our Creator.

I found by doing this kind of work that I feel very passionately that it is wrong to manipulate or shut these disembodied spirits behind a closed portal where they do not make the connection to the other side to go on in their own evolution. The other thing to remember is that spirits are intelligent and can think for themselves. Like the living they can be friendly, curious, fearful, uninterested, vengeful, loving, controlling, funny, playful, obsessive, compassionate, angry, upset, jealous, possessive, or just be passing through.

When working as a spirit rescuer the main focus is to help the lost spirits to reach the light.  An introduction and acquaintance must be reached before being able to help encourage the spirit to move on. I always like to call in the angels as they can often convince a lost spirit to go back with them into the light. On a few occasions loved ones from the other side can be asked to help coax the spirit to walk into the light with them.

If a spirit has been between worlds for awhile they lose a lot of their connection to the higher frequencies in the light. This makes it a little more difficult for them to resonate with it so that they can find their path back into the light. I discovered that by helping to raise the energy in the house to a higher vibration will help raise the energy of the spirit so that when the angels and loved ones come they are not afraid of them and will go peacefully as they begin to resonate with higher energy. Essential rose oil is amazing in helping to raise the vibration in a home or even if you wear it helps raise your own vibration so when a spirit is close to you they start to attune themselves to that higher frequency. Also peppermint oil will help clear out negative energy in the house to help raise the energy.

If you are being attacked black tourmaline which is a gemstone will help with protection or the essential oil white angelica will also help. Protection prayers or using white or blue light through your chakras and surrounding yourself in it is another way to help with protection.
