Residual Energy












Residual Spiritual Energy: Understanding physical space and past impressions

First, a short physics lesson: For those of us who work with the paranormal on a daily basis we understand that energy can neither be created, nor destroyed; it can only be transformed from one state to another. This is based on Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity which explains the conservation of energy. Einstein states that energy and mass are the same and are compatible within life forms such as humans. Each state is symbiotic living in coexistence until the body no longer can support life.




When however, the body is no longer viable that energy source still remains. It is allowed to exist in the same space even though the physical body no longer is viable. The energy remains in roughly the same shape and takes no more space than its original form. What does change however is that the atoms convert into light energy. This light energy can be absorbed by its surroundings are remain as a residual impression. If in fact there has been a traumatic cause for death the likelihood that the impression will remain at that site is higher than if the death were from expected cause.



Residual Spiritual Energy


A simplistic way to explain residual spiritual energy is to think about a scratched CD. When it is played and it is working it has all its elements intact. However, when that skip plays it will continue to skip until you change the song. This continuous skip plays the same lyrics and will not change until you manually change the song. When a trauma occurs and there is a death associated with the trauma the energy is absorbed into that specific time and area. The energy can be moved on with the assistance of someone who is spiritually aware, or if another spiritual body comes to the aid of the individual.



When energy seems to be locked into place there can be unexplained phenomena such as, but not limited to: footsteps, heavy breathing, foul smells, or other sensations which are generally unexplainable by mundane reasoning.



How does this kind of thing happen?


The sounds and images are related to traumatic events that took place at the location, causing some sort of disturbance sometimes called a "psychic impression." This is the reason why so many battlefields have become famous for their haunting over the years. In other situations, the impressions were left because of a single act of violence such as a murder, or ongoing physical or sexual abuse. Rooms can act as sponges and absorb energy given off by the offender, or the victim and releasing when someone who is very young or highly sensitive arrives.



Very often though some of these instances do not involve traumatic events they can also occur in something as innocuous as a staircase. The reason for this is just simply the mere action of going up and down the staircase that leaves the energy impression. Often times this energy is that of young children who find staircases irresistible to play on touching the banister and the walls as they run and play. Reputedly, that is why so many haunted staircases exist, because of the number of times people go up and down them and the amount of energy that is expended in doing so.



Residual energy is basically an imprint in time. Sometimes an object will carry the imprint of its owner. I have a client who had obtained a lazy boy chair from her Grand Parents home. She wanted the chair because she loved her grandmother very much and she like to sit in that chair. But shortly after she brought the chair into her home and placed it into her living room things begin to change in her home.



She had noticed that there were more fights occurring in that room than any other living space within her home (especially with her children) and it seemed to really start almost days after the chair was brought into the home in hindsight. She came to me for a Reiki healing, and while I was working on her one of her relatives came to me in spirit wanting her to know that the reason there was so much hostility in the home was because there was a very angry old man who I will call Bob. This angry man was her grandfather and had in his later life he became very bitter and hostile. In his death my client was hoping that he would be released from his mental torment, but for him this would not be the case.



I suggested that she take care of the room with holy oil, a blessed medal of Arc Angel Michael and special crystals placed under the chair until I could get to her home more than an hour away. She has since notified a mutual friend of ours that my suggestions are working and holding off the negative energy.

Puberty and Poltergeist

THEY ARE DEFIANTLY HERE

A poltergeist is generally described as a spiritual energy that creates unexplained noises, can move objects and can make a living space uninhabitable to those it terrorizes. It is extremely rare, but in some cases this sort of energy has been associated with human possession. The word poltergeist originates in the German poltern meaning “to rumble” or to “make noise” and geist meaning “ghost” or “ spirit.”


There are many theories for why this sort of activity occurs ranging from those who are emotionally unstable, to those who are going through some sort of hormonal change. Some believe that young people have the ability to discharge personal energy in the form of telekinetic activity when they are angered, or traumatized. Within this article I will discuss some of these rationales and offer my own take on the subject. First, let’s define some terms.


Parapsychology is the study of poltergeist phenomena which defines this type of activity as a type of uncontrolled psycho kinesis. The term psycho kinesis is derived from the Greek words psyche meaning "breathe," "life," or "soul," and kinein meaning "to move.”


Although the word poltergeist means noisy spirit generally it is neither a spirit nor a ghost, but an invisible energy which is usually mischievous and not malevolent. Ghosts are generally thought to be spirits of those who have died. Usually ghosts are an imprint on something which has gone on before such as a battle field, or a stigmatized property where a violent act caused death.


A poltergeist is energy that has been created by energy from a chaotic situation generally in pubescent girls who have experienced a traumatic upbringing. This was the conclusion of a seventy year research project conducted at the Rhine Research Center in Raleigh-Durham, NC, USA.


Where there is a bio-host for poltergeist activity the individual is generally unaware that they are causing a disturbance. All of the energy is repressed into the subconscious, and generally does not manifest until the host is exhausted and unable to maintain focus. It must be understood that these individuals are not able to control the activity and in order to restore balance within their body require assistance from parapsychologists and spiritualists in order to restore balance.


If the individual dies on site and they have not been able to restore their mental health the likely hood that there would be residual energy left to permeate the property is highly likely. The types of paranormal activity that can occur are: objects thrown across the room, feelings of being watched, objects that vanish and show up someplace else, electrical items cease to function, water turning on or off by itself, windows or doors that slam open or shut, intense displays of anger with an unknown cause. Becoming aware of when this activity occurs who is in the home and what happens right before, or shortly after is very important in the diagnosis of this type of activity. Although when it is occurring it is very easy to become frightened or even angered it is best to keep your emotions in check so as not to add more fuel to the fire. Remember if it is indeed poltergeist activity the one who it surrounds is not aware of what is happening, and will be terribly confused if you confront them in a malicious manner.


Poltergeist activity is not the same as demonic possession, although it should be treated with a spiritualist (someone who is familiar to the child from their own church, or personal acquaintance of the family who understands how to deal with unbalanced energies.) NEVER TRY TO TAKE ON THE RESPONSIBILITY OF ASSISTING YOUR LOVED ONE IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING. YOU COULD MAKE THE SITUATION WORSE.


Theories


Poltergeist activity is widely thought to be manifested by the living, especially children and teenagers. This is different than possession, which is usually demonic. The living person is projecting their own energies to cause these things to happen. Because children and teenagers are always growing and changing, and their body chemistry is never really normal until full adulthood, this is thought to be the main reason for poltergeist activity occurring. If we are thinking in terms of the Harry Potter universe, think of why underage wizards are not allowed to use their magic outside of school. You can also think of it as out of control telekinesis.


Stopping poltergeist activity


How do you stop a poltergeist? It is very simple. Talk to your kids. Make sure they are not experiencing any trouble at school, or with their friends. Examine your home life. Is there any major changes happening, such as a move, separation, death in the family, that your child could be struggling with? This could also apply if there are no children in the house, but you still suspect you have poltergeist activity.


Common misconceptions


Poltergeists are not demons, or negative entities. They also do not assume any form. They usually aren't that noisy; unless of course the object which gets thrown makes a loud noise.

What Causes a Haunted Environment?

spirit wander






 First, a short physics lesson: For those of us who work with the paranormal on a daily basis we understand that energy can neither be created, nor destroyed; it can only be transformed from one state to another. This is based on Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity which explains the conservation of energy. Energy and mass can not be created, nor destroyed only transformed.  Every living thing has both energy and mass and once this living thing is no longer viable its energy is then released. 

For sake of argument no one knows with absolute certainty exactly where this released energy goes.  In this article I will be taking the side that some human energy lingers in the environment for a period of time where there has been a traumatic expiration of life.

Residual Spiritual Energy


A simplistic way to explain residual spiritual energy is to think about a scratched CD. When it is played and it is working it has all its elements intact. However, when that skip plays it will continue to skip until you change the song. This continuous skip plays the same lyrics and will not change until you manually change the song. When a trauma occurs and there is a death associated with the trauma the energy is absorbed into that specific time and area. The energy can be moved on with the assistance of someone who is spiritually aware, or if another spiritual body comes to the aid of the individual.


Where the energy seems to be locked into place there can be unexplained phenomena such as, but not limited to: footsteps, breathing, smells, or other sensations which are generally unexplainable by mundane reasoning.


How does this kind of thing happen?


The sounds and images are related to traumatic events that took place at the location, causing some sort of disturbance sometimes called a "psychic impression." This is the reason why so many battlefields have become famous for their haunting over the years. In other situations, the images have been created by events or actions that were repeated, which caused an impression. Reputedly, that is why so many haunted staircases exist, because of the number of times people go up and down them and the amount of energy that is expended in doing so.


These kinds of haunted places act as giant storage batteries, saving up the impressions of sights and sounds from the past. While apparitions are most commonly connected to these types of haunting much of the activity may be in the form of sounds, and even smells.


So, considering this type of haunting is basically an imprint in time, whatever an apparition was wearing and doing will appear the same. Sometimes an object will carry the imprint of its owner. I have a client who had obtained a lazy boy chair from her grandparents home. She wanted the chair because she loved her grandmother very much and she like to sit in that chair. But shortly after she brought the chair into her home and placed it into her living room things begin to change in her home.


She had noticed that there were more fights occurring in that room than any other living space within her home, and it seemed to really start almost days after the chair was brought into the home in hindsight.

I suggested that she take care of the room with holy oil, a blessed medal of Arc Angel Michael and special crystals placed under the chair until I could get to her home more than an hour away. As simple as this sounds it is still working at the point of this writing.

Attract that New Job NOW!





Are you out of work? Try these techniques to attract that new job NOW!! If you are in need of a job and feel like you have lost hope, direction and your self confidence what you might just need to help give you a boost is working on your spiritual energy.


Yes, I am sure you have heard all about the power of now, and you are up to your ears in hearing you need to think positive to bring abundance. Although you may understand that it is important to think positively, it is also important to EXPECT that positive change too. Without that needed expectation all your efforts could be waisted.  In this article I will give you the tools you need to obtain that much needed new job.


Identify the Goal


Jobs are often like relationships and relationships can last for decades or they can fall flat in weeks. You would not just meet up with someone right away and start telling them all your guarded secrets now would you? No, you would be careful to understand who they were first. This is the same technique you need to start out with your new job. Find out all you can about the position you would like to obtain. Learn specifics such as what tasks you would be performing, if you will work with others, or on your own. What sort of skills would you need? Do you need schooling to make a good placement? Most importantly you must be realistic about your qualifications. Make a list of all of these qualifications for your new job. No matter what job it is if it makes you feel good about whom you are then its right for you. Make adjustments where you need to for your list!


Take Intentional Action!


In spiritual practices, energy always flows where the attention goes. This means that in order to get the energy of your new job, you need to make sure you’re being attentive and putting energy into finding it. Spend time every single day looking at classified ads, sending out resumes, talking to people about your search, and thinking good thoughts about the future. Even if you’ve hired a headhunter to find a position for you, still be active in the process by requesting daily updates from them and investigating companies online that your representative has selected for you. Be intentional about finding work- don’t treat it as a process that should find you- we call it ‘job hunting‘ for a reason! If you choose to use prayer as a method for calling forth work, I am right behind you on that one, but consider praying for guidance, empowerment, and wisdom in actively finding the right job- not for having it delivered to your doorstep.


Every Action Has An Equal Reaction… What’s Your Reaction Going To Be?


Who are You?


The truth about why many people have a hard time finding work is that in their core they don’t believe they deserve anything great. It’s imperative that you spend time each day checking your thoughts and beliefs. If you aren’t confident that you deserve the very best job for YOU as an individual- replete with great pay, awesome benefits, amazing co-workers, and sky-high potential for promotion… then we need to talk! Remind yourself consistently that for every person on the planet, a new need is created- and due to that new need, a new job is out there somewhere with your name on it. There is more than enough for all of us, and ‘lack mentality’ is only going to help you attract a seriously lack-luster job!


In a reality filled with infinite possibility- you truly can have whatever you desire!




Interview On The Astral Plane


In meditation, call forth the perfect situation in to your mind once you have what that is clear. Place yourself in the fullness of work and notice all the small details. Have conversations with you boss and ask questions- allowing responses to come through without judgment as truth. If anything funky happens in your visualization that doesn’t feel right for you… take note and take accountability. Go back to your list of qualities and start re-writing. Anything that manifests in this meditative state is either something you’ve consciously asked for- or a fear that’s manifesting. The sections above should help rid yourself of fear and get positive, while clarifying the things you do want to attract!


Spiritual meditation is the wise person’s true magic!




Sending out your Message


Select a stone or other object to serve as a sort of ‘still point energy beacon’ for your goal. Let this item remind you whenever you interact with it about your goals- and give it the power to be a lucky talisman… drawing the right guidance and connections to you like a magnet. Once you land your amazing job- hand it over to someone you love who needs some help finding theirs!


Watch Out… It’s Contagious!


Have a friend who’s got a sweet job? Take them out to dinner or invite them over for tea. The old axiom ‘you are who you associate with’ is very true- and by spending time with people who have the money, connections, lifestyle, attitude, health, spiritual connection, etc. that YOU want you’ll start emulating them and learning subtle secrets to big success!




Live The Dream


If you find yourself sleeping in and lazing about because you aren’t working right now, you’re slowly and silently digging your paradigm into a dark hole. Keep waking up on time for work, making a good breakfast, catching up with the news, and getting yourself ready for a productive and abundant day. If you live in the energy of a positive job- you’ll manifest that job… there’s no way to avoid it!


Don’t hit the snooze button too many times this morning and slept through living a higher state of abundant being!




Hand Me That Box Cutter, Will Ya?


If you’re living in a box about your career- now is the time to break free! Source very well may be telling you that your old belief about the work ‘you must do’ is a lie! Are you sure you’re doing what you want? Is fear and low self-esteem preventing you from approaching the job/career you truly want? Right now, give yourself permission to dream as wildly as possible about what you’d spend your days doing to earn money and participate in society in any way you’d truly love to. Got it? Now go get it!


Opportunity is calling for YOU!


The process leading to your perfect job may have some history… and there may be some more time ahead before it manifests. In the meantime, you are in control of the health of your body, mind, emotions, and spirit in the matter. Continue to do the things you love (even if you have to scale them back due to financial concern). Be creative, try new things, love yourself- and most of all, love healing yourself! Try to enjoy the process of finding work- because it just means a change is needed and you’ve entered a higher state of being! If you find yourself in a depressive or anxiety-ridden state, talk to friends for support or connect with a top-notch mental health provider. Sometimes just venting and getting some feedback makes all the difference in the world. Remember that in you deserving to be abundant in the limitless- you also deserve joy!


Keep moving forward even if it’s one toe at a time keep moving! YOU CAN DO IT~

Becoming a Light Worker



Establishing yourself as a light worker




If you are new to the experience of becoming in tune with your inner voice and you find it difficult to trust your instincts the following information can give you some peace of mind and direction, and I have personally found that they work quite well.

• If you have the space clear out a room and use it solely for spiritual development this room should be considered your spiritual sanctuary. If you do not have the space for a full room a corner area that is free of clutter will do just fine. In this space you will meditate, read, and journal your spiritual growth.

• Before you retire for the night clear your thoughts of any of the days troubles. Understand that nothing can be done minutes before rest and that your body will be more prepared for better results if you rest fully. You may find that using a CD of inspirational music, mediations, or positive feedback will result in good rest and a sharper mind.

• Researching to find a mentor in person or online can help you stay on course.

• Daily affirmations regarding spiritual development, motivation, and peace of mind are recommended to feed both your mind and your spirit. Keep in mind that what you take in with your senses will produce either negative or positive results. If you truly want purposeful change you must change your habits.

• Listen and be aware spiritual messages can come in many forms. Spirit can speak to you directly if you feel an intuitive pressing that says pay attention then you need to take note. Write down what you feel, sense. If you keep getting this message at least 3 times it means that you are definitely receiving a message from spirit. Pay Attention!!

• Who are you choosing to associate with? Are these people working towards making their personal lives better, or do they complain and constantly say their life is rotten because of someone else, or some circumstance? It is important to be around like minded people who share your desire to create peace and well-being. You may find that you have to let go of some people even some relatives. It will not be easy as we do not generally like change, but if you are at that point in your life where you desire positive change; then spirit will send you friends and those who will help you with that change.

• Do not try to make all of these changes over night. I have found that it generally takes 21 days to make or break any habit. If you force yourself to fit into a new mold to quickly you will shatter into many fragmented pieces. Take small steps be kind and compassionate to yourself.

• Make sure to pay attention to your body as a whole. Mind, body and spirit all have importance, and all require balance. Good food, good information, and quiet time for spiritual learning are what it takes to become spiritually aware. Things you can do to help yourself along in these areas are:

1. Expose your mind to get thoughts by visiting web pages that are empowering, speak with people who are positive and willing to listen and offer perspective. Find a book or site with daily affirmations that resound in your spirit.

2. Learn about healthy foods and what is best for your body type. Take time to exercise. Get regular check ups, and follow doctors advice.

3. Learn new spiritual techniques that inspire you to grow, and teach others how to also be spiritually aware. It’s in the teaching that you find yourself learning more and more.

• Where do you want your life to go? Think on these things dream your life into reality. Give your dreams life by daily reminding yourself of how you see your life in the next 5 years. You must make a plan to get to where you are going otherwise you will not go beyond where you are now. Just as a plant needs sunlight, soil and water you also need to cultivate your dreams.

• Visualize in your minds eye where you want to go. In the psychic realm many visions come through in pictures learning how to develop this technique will help you bring what you need to move forward. Think on this everything you see in your surrounding space was first seen in someone’s mind. The concept of visualizing is not a whimsy magical thinking concept. You need to first think it to achieve it. Once you have this picture in your mind’s eye write it down, or draw it the best you can.

• If you have the time and it is available in your area find a psychic group. Joining together with like minded people will help you grow and learn things in which you may not by yourself. Keep going for as long as you find it useful. As with all things you can outgrow a group as well.

• Learn how to use energy for protection as you are learning how to become more aware it will be necessary to learn how to protect yourself from energies you may find unwanted. This all may sound very woooo wooo to you, but I assure you it is very real. You may decide that you want to carry a stone, or crystal with you which deflects unwanted energies, I suggest you use smokey quartz.

Smokey Quartz Gemstone meaning

Smokey quartz is nature's stone of endurance. If you need an extra boost, carry a smokey quartz gemstone with you. It promotes:

• Personal pride and joy in living

• Creativity in business

• Opens the path for perception and learning

Smokey Quartz is a protection stone that cleanses and clears negative energy.

Smokey Quartz is a grounding stone that transmutes negative energies and facilitates your ability to get things done in the practical world. It enhances organizational skills and is good to have around in the workplace or home office.

Healing properties of Smokey Quartz

Smokey Quartz is connected with the sounds of the universe. It makes you more aware of sounds including telepathic sounds. Smokey Quartz helps relieve depression.

Layman's Guide to Detecting Paranormal Activity


Paranormal activity usually occurs in highly charged areas where there is unsettled energy such as a murder scene, or it can come about years after you move into a seemingly peaceful home. If you are not used to such activity it can scare you and cause confusion. As I am interested in teaching the layman how to co-exist with the paranormal world I will give you a run down on what you can do to clear up the mystery question: Am I experiencing something that can be explained by science and reasoning, or is it paranormal?

These steps are only to be used for a guideline to help the layman understand what sort of activity is occurring and offer possibilities as to how to create a more balanced situation.

1. 1, 2, 3 say cheese: Have your video recording device at the ready. Getting anything you can on an imaging recorder is your first step into credibly obtaining hard evidence that there is something paranormal occurring. Record everything you can for as long as you feel the activity. Having something with a date and time stamp is also important for documenting your experience.

2. Can you hear me now? Digital recordings or EVP’s are another way you can record your experience of the paranormal. If you are hearing voices, or noises when you enter a room or a particular area you will want to capture this on a voice recorder. I have used just a hand held micro recorder to capture EVP’s with much success. If you choose to do this do not under any circumstances provoke the entity. Doing so could create a problem that you really don’t want to deal with and you could find that you are in way over your head. If you have children under the age of 18 in the area have them leave. It is rare, but if you truly do have an entity to deal with you, as a layman, will generally have no idea if it’s friendly, or hostile. Do not take matters into your own hands if you have extreme paranormal activity. CALL A PROFESSIONAL IN YOUR AREA.

3. What is that SMELL? Have you noticed smells that are out of place? For instance, a cigar, or other tobacco, flowers, perfumes, colognes, garbage, sulfur, or any other odd smell that just should not be in the immediate area? Take note of what you are experiencing and if there is a specific time or area where you notice that smell, then write it down. It may have a reasonable explanation, or then again it could be useful in documenting a real paranormal experience.

4. Ticky Tock what time is the CLOCK: Normally when someone says they have experienced a paranormal event, many people automatically think it happened in the middle of the night. In the world of the paranormal there is not necessarily such thing as a time limitation. Their habits, for the most part, will continue on just as they did when they were living. Many times when there is a paranormal event and the entity has not crossed over completely they will continue to repeat the events leading to their death. This energy can build up and bleed over into the mundane world we exist in, and cause those who are aware to experience what they see, hear, or feel as that energy touches their living body.

5. Frosty encounters: Take notice of the temperature in the room, or location where you are when you feel this difference in balance. Is it unusually cold, hot, or humid in only a certain location? After you check to make sure the furnace, air conditioner, and the weather reports for the local area are not the cause of the disturbance document what you see and feel. Note the time of day, weather conditions, conditions of the property and any other qualities that you feel interact with the paranormal activity. Being aware of your surroundings is crucial to reporting accurate findings when dealing with paranormal activity. You have find that there is a reasonable and sound explanation, or you may in fact be experiencing true paranormal activity.

6. Do you see what I see? Two heads are better than one especially in the paranormal world. If you have witness to the encounter then you can match information, or find plausible explanations for what is occurring. I find that if I want to get a second opinion on an event where paranormal activity may be occurring I will have at least two others who can validate the energy, or negate it so that we can make a better assessment and provide accurate information. Also, having other people can give you more of a chance to gather more information. In any type of event good or tragic people see things differently. One may pick up on information where as another seeing the same thing will not. Having at least two other people can help you gather information more accurately, and either gives credence to the event, or a reasonable explanation as to why it is occurring.

7. Ready for GO: Once you have gathered all your evidence and are certain that what you are experiencing is real phenomena then you can take the next step in contacting a paranormal research group in your area who may find interest in your research, and conduct their own regarding your paranormal case. As important as it is to research your case it is as important to research the paranormal group you choose to investigate on your behalf. There are a lot of groups that can be found on the internet and there should be some way to decide if they are a good fit for you.
Paranormal activity occurs every minute of every day are you as aware of your surroundings as you think you are? THEY ARE WAITING FOR YOU TO TAKE NOTICE

A word about gemstones & pendulum's

 Gemstones and Pendulums 101

                                                           how to pick your pendulum


A simple tool used for communicating and gaining guidance from the spiritual world; pendulums can be used to find missing keys, or missing loved ones. Pendulums are one of the easiest psychic tools to use for discovering energy movement within a specific area, or to communicate with subtle psychic energies. When using a pendulum for divination it acts as a sort of antenna that magnifies energy when you ask a question.


A pendulum can be as simply as a piece of cotton attached to a 6 inch string, or as ornate as a diamond point with a polished gemstone. When you decide that you would like to explore the energy of the pendulum the following information on gemstones will help you decide which one you would benefit from the most.

     Many believe that gemstones can receive, contain and even transmit certain energies that you can tap into and even use for healing. Many who work with gemstones in metaphysical fields claim that individuals are often attracted to a certain gemstone. Practitioners believe this kind of instinct is governed by the individual's chi (energy) and serves as a barometer to pick up the kind of energy best suited for the balancing of auras and charkas. Below are some of the most popular gemstones and the common properties associated with each.

It also soothes and heals the central nervous system. Sodalite clears the mind for deeper and wiser thinking, aids logic along with opening third eye intuition, stabilizes mental processes and aids in the shift from emotional to rational thinking. Use it if you are a person who over reacts emotionally or has panic attacks. Helps to eliminate confusion, change habits and stimulate ones intellect.
