00:00:27,185 --> 00:00:28,655
Hello, welcome to Practically Magic.

3
00:00:28,705 --> 00:00:35,245
Today I am your local witch
and healer and mystic.

4
00:00:35,675 --> 00:00:42,745
I'm here today because, and the day I'm
recording this is actually October 1st.

5
00:00:43,525 --> 00:00:47,965
It's going to come out a few weeks
later than that, but we're getting

6
00:00:47,965 --> 00:00:52,165
closer and closer to Samhain
or Halloween, All Hallows Eve.

7
00:00:52,715 --> 00:00:56,195
And people love to get witchy
during this time of year.

8
00:00:56,195 --> 00:00:58,865
We love the feeling of fall.

9
00:00:58,865 --> 00:01:03,195
We love that it starts to,
the veil starts to feel thin.

10
00:01:03,305 --> 00:01:09,345
So today we're going to talk about
some dark and spooky topics, which are

11
00:01:09,385 --> 00:01:14,965
actually going to be very helpful for
anyone and everyone in their lives.

12
00:01:15,025 --> 00:01:18,135
So let's start our episode pulling a card.

13
00:01:21,805 --> 00:01:22,125
Okay.

14
00:01:22,765 --> 00:01:23,745
All right, all right, all right.

15
00:01:24,115 --> 00:01:28,865
I pulled this card earlier and I don't
know why, but I felt like I just needed

16
00:01:28,865 --> 00:01:34,405
to put it back and try again and pulled
it just now and it's the exact same card.

17
00:01:34,455 --> 00:01:36,985
That is usually how it
works with Demination.

18
00:01:37,785 --> 00:01:40,145
I apologize if I sound
like I'm a little stuffy.

19
00:01:41,265 --> 00:01:45,115
The fall time comes with the
beautiful fall colors, but it also

20
00:01:45,115 --> 00:01:49,515
comes with a lot of dust and pollen
and unfortunately it interacts with

21
00:01:49,515 --> 00:01:51,745
my body as if I have a very bad.

22
00:01:52,405 --> 00:01:59,075
So I am working through it and it
feels like every time I start to record

23
00:01:59,075 --> 00:02:05,265
something or put myself on camera for
any reason, all of a sudden I have

24
00:02:05,375 --> 00:02:12,055
eyes watering and sniffly nose and I
made sure I was all ready to go before

25
00:02:12,055 --> 00:02:15,985
I got on camera before I hit record.

26
00:02:16,005 --> 00:02:20,765
And now I'm sitting
here just crying tears.

27
00:02:22,575 --> 00:02:24,095
Yeah, I'm just gonna go with it.

28
00:02:24,505 --> 00:02:25,225
I'm gonna go with it.

29
00:02:25,225 --> 00:02:26,605
It's just what it is.

30
00:02:26,715 --> 00:02:27,465
It's what's happening.

31
00:02:27,515 --> 00:02:30,925
I'm gonna be a little puffy,
a little wet, a little snotty.

32
00:02:30,925 --> 00:02:31,415
It'll be fine.

34
00:02:34,545 --> 00:02:34,915
Okay.

35
00:02:36,825 --> 00:02:37,565
It's not my favorite.

36
00:02:38,375 --> 00:02:39,745
This is the card that came up.

37
00:02:40,085 --> 00:02:43,425
I'm using my elemental Oracle deck today.

38
00:02:43,425 --> 00:02:48,385
One of my first Oracle decks and
it's very science, very scientific.

39
00:02:48,455 --> 00:02:51,855
And the one that keeps
coming up is the magic card.

40
00:02:53,035 --> 00:02:55,115
And the word that comes
up with it is alchemy.

41
00:02:55,615 --> 00:02:58,165
It's so interesting because I was
actually going to do an episode

42
00:02:58,165 --> 00:03:03,275
on alchemy, but I felt like I just
didn't know enough about it yet.

43
00:03:03,455 --> 00:03:07,855
to talk about it on a podcast episode.

44
00:03:07,865 --> 00:03:12,075
But there is a lot about alchemy
that's very fascinating to me.

45
00:03:12,185 --> 00:03:17,585
And the way that I engage with alchemy
or the way that I understand it in

46
00:03:17,595 --> 00:03:24,215
the world of healing and what I do
with clients and energy is that we

47
00:03:24,215 --> 00:03:26,805
are turning what we have been given

48
00:03:27,875 --> 00:03:32,385
what resources we have available to
us in our own mind, in our own energy,

49
00:03:32,385 --> 00:03:36,765
in our own body, to be able to spin
that into gold and to be able to

50
00:03:37,055 --> 00:03:42,605
transform that into something that is
very powerful and useful and valuable.

51
00:03:43,275 --> 00:03:50,015
And I feel like what we're about to do
today is going to take some things that

52
00:03:50,015 --> 00:03:53,565
people have deep rooted fears about.

53
00:03:54,035 --> 00:03:58,065
and turn it into something that
makes them feel powerful and magical.

54
00:03:59,345 --> 00:04:03,965
So we're talking about today's
spaces and cleansing spaces.

55
00:04:04,335 --> 00:04:07,855
Basically, the topic is haunted houses.

56
00:04:09,065 --> 00:04:11,035
I love a good story.

57
00:04:11,425 --> 00:04:12,435
You know I do.

58
00:04:12,495 --> 00:04:14,185
I love to tell a good story.

59
00:04:14,685 --> 00:04:20,605
And I especially love the haunted
houses, stories and ghost stories.

60
00:04:21,505 --> 00:04:23,565
I think they're fun and entertaining, but

61
00:04:24,015 --> 00:04:29,715
Even still as a child, think I was
terrified, terrified of my house

62
00:04:29,715 --> 00:04:34,955
being haunted or actually seeing
a ghost or having interaction with

63
00:04:34,955 --> 00:04:36,205
something that would be a ghost.

64
00:04:37,185 --> 00:04:39,785
One of my favorite TV shows
when I was a kid was X-Files.

65
00:04:40,055 --> 00:04:46,575
And although there is a main plot in
X-Files that had to do with aliens and

66
00:04:46,585 --> 00:04:53,345
alien conspiracies, actually my favorite
plot lines were the kind of obscure

67

Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [04:29.602]

68
00:04:53,795 --> 00:04:58,065
off the beaten path episodes where
they would do something about the

69
00:04:58,065 --> 00:05:01,275
paranormal or about ghost stories.

70
00:05:03,325 --> 00:05:05,555
They were the most spooky to me.

71
00:05:06,855 --> 00:05:11,915
And honestly, for a long time, when I
was a kid, a teenager, probably late into

72
00:05:11,915 --> 00:05:18,365
my early adulthood, I was a little bit
terrified of mirrors in the bathroom.

73
00:05:19,165 --> 00:05:23,365
And when you would get out of
the shower and the shower steam,

74
00:05:23,575 --> 00:05:25,975
would make the room and the mirror steamy.

75
00:05:27,055 --> 00:05:32,515
There was something, I must have
seen it on unsolved mysteries or

76
00:05:32,605 --> 00:05:37,825
something when I was a kid, but there
was sort of those ideas of paranormal

77
00:05:37,825 --> 00:05:39,465
experiences that people would have.

78
00:05:40,475 --> 00:05:46,895
these paranormal experts would talk about
how that ghosts had to, or spirits or

79
00:05:46,925 --> 00:05:51,765
entities had to be able to interact with
energies going on around them in order to.

80
00:05:51,775 --> 00:05:53,715
manifest or make themselves seen.

81
00:05:54,185 --> 00:05:58,835
And I thought the steam from the
shower was going to make somebody

82
00:05:58,835 --> 00:06:00,405
appear or something appear.

83
00:06:00,405 --> 00:06:03,355
Or if I looked in the mirror,
there would be that image.

84
00:06:03,915 --> 00:06:06,965
We've seen it on horror movies where
it's you look in the mirror and

85
00:06:06,965 --> 00:06:10,765
there's a person standing behind
you and the reflection you turn

86
00:06:10,765 --> 00:06:12,855
around and there's no one there.

87
00:06:12,855 --> 00:06:13,905
Those kinds of things.

88
00:06:15,065 --> 00:06:18,235
And I did have some experiences,
especially because when I

89
00:06:18,285 --> 00:06:20,325
was a teenager, we moved into

90
00:06:22,685 --> 00:06:27,185
my dad's childhood home, which
was his father's childhood home,

91
00:06:27,195 --> 00:06:32,735
this, this home, the old reader
homestead, we called it, was built

92
00:06:32,785 --> 00:06:38,045
in 1880 something, 1883, I think.

93
00:06:38,435 --> 00:06:41,775
So even when we moved into it, it
was over a hundred years old and,

94
00:06:42,715 --> 00:06:48,805
it was a great old, used to be a
farmhouse, kind of Victorian style.

95
00:06:50,035 --> 00:06:50,785
not as...

96
00:06:51,195 --> 00:06:58,695
maybe lavish as Victorian homes that
you see in haunted house type things.

97
00:06:58,715 --> 00:06:59,045
But

98
00:07:01,405 --> 00:07:03,115
it was a little bit more like a farmhouse.

99
00:07:03,355 --> 00:07:07,695
had a front parlor and a family
room that were both in the

100
00:07:07,695 --> 00:07:09,795
front of the house and a porch.

101
00:07:10,805 --> 00:07:14,825
It had an upstairs that was once
one big room that had been kind of

102
00:07:16,185 --> 00:07:19,405
shifted to several bedrooms upstairs.

103
00:07:19,405 --> 00:07:20,053

104
00:07:20,145 --> 00:07:22,695
When my family moved in, we added
a bathroom upstairs because the

105
00:07:22,705 --> 00:07:26,045
only bathroom in the house was
one that was built on the back of

106
00:07:26,045 --> 00:07:28,325
the house where the kitchen was.

107
00:07:28,335 --> 00:07:31,645
So it was the only bathroom and
it was right off the kitchen.

108
00:07:31,985 --> 00:07:35,785
So one of those houses that was
probably built in phases because,

109
00:07:36,605 --> 00:07:40,005
you know, families changed and
needed needed different things.

110
00:07:40,005 --> 00:07:42,275
And it probably started
out with an outhouse.

111
00:07:42,375 --> 00:07:43,275
I'm just assuming.

112
00:07:43,285 --> 00:07:47,085
But my great grandmother
raised her children there.

113
00:07:47,095 --> 00:07:50,005
She had my grandfather in that house.

114
00:07:52,225 --> 00:07:55,715
before he was born, her
husband died tragically.

115
00:07:55,755 --> 00:08:00,225
And so she had to raise those
kids herself, by herself,

116
00:08:00,285 --> 00:08:02,155
and manage the orchard.

117
00:08:02,875 --> 00:08:06,115
And part of the orchard was sold off.

118
00:08:06,715 --> 00:08:10,565
And so this house had a lot
of history, a lot of families.

119
00:08:10,605 --> 00:08:13,035
And I just happened to be a descendant of

120
00:08:13,475 --> 00:08:14,715
the family that lived there.

121
00:08:14,715 --> 00:08:20,755
So when my grandfather passed away,
I was in high school and I had been

122
00:08:20,755 --> 00:08:22,265
living in this house for a while.

123
00:08:23,485 --> 00:08:28,015
he, my grandfather had taught us how to
do the irrigation and how to kind of take

124
00:08:28,015 --> 00:08:30,245
care of the tractor and things like that.

125
00:08:31,025 --> 00:08:35,335
I think he was very much attached to
this house because he grew up there

126
00:08:35,335 --> 00:08:37,215
and he loved it and he took care of it.

127
00:08:37,255 --> 00:08:42,065
And he put a lot of love and hard work
into it and raised his family there.

128
00:08:43,325 --> 00:08:47,535
And so me and my sister being the new
generation of family that was living in

129
00:08:47,535 --> 00:08:52,385
this house, there were some instances
that just unexplained things would happen.

130
00:08:53,725 --> 00:08:56,885
My grandfather's favorite
singer was Johnny Cash.

131
00:08:56,925 --> 00:09:02,725
And when he passed, we had our radio,
our CD player, entertainment center,

132
00:09:02,745 --> 00:09:06,535
whatever, you know, we called it
that would all of a sudden start

133
00:09:06,535 --> 00:09:08,635
playing Johnny Cash out of nowhere.

134
00:09:09,125 --> 00:09:13,605
when no one had touched it and it would
turn, the dial would turn up loud.

135
00:09:13,655 --> 00:09:16,935
So the volume would turn up
and our family would be like,

136
00:09:17,865 --> 00:09:19,315
who's playing music really loud?

137
00:09:19,315 --> 00:09:20,795
Can someone turn that down?

138
00:09:21,325 --> 00:09:24,555
And when we realized that nobody
was actually playing it, that

139
00:09:24,555 --> 00:09:28,645
it was just playing, we would
realize that must be grandpa.

140
00:09:28,655 --> 00:09:32,385
He's playing Johnny Cash, he's letting us
know that he's here and that that's his

141
00:09:32,385 --> 00:09:33,875
favorite, that was his favorite singer.

142
00:09:33,885 --> 00:09:34,315
So.

143
00:09:35,085 --> 00:09:35,349
Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [09:11.16]

144
00:09:35,395 --> 00:09:38,215
I remember one time I did get out
of the shower in the new bathroom

145
00:09:38,215 --> 00:09:43,905
we built upstairs and we had dark
linoleum that we put in that bathroom.

146
00:09:43,905 --> 00:09:48,925
It was a dark green and kind of
trying to renovate the house and

147
00:09:48,925 --> 00:09:50,235
make it updated a little bit.

148
00:09:50,525 --> 00:09:54,965
Put in actual light switches because
the house had those pull string lights

149
00:09:55,045 --> 00:09:56,565
upstairs when we first moved in.

150
00:09:57,815 --> 00:09:58,975
Like I said, very old house.

151
00:09:59,865 --> 00:10:03,735
And I remember when I got out of the
shower, you you step on the dark linoleum,

152
00:10:03,735 --> 00:10:09,465
your feet would create a footprint on the,
you know, from the steam on the ground.

153
00:10:09,545 --> 00:10:15,105
And I, one time I looked down and I
could see where I was standing, where

154
00:10:15,105 --> 00:10:20,155
my feet were, but next to my feet
was a footprint that was not mine.

155
00:10:20,165 --> 00:10:21,885
It was not my size foot.

156
00:10:21,925 --> 00:10:27,225
And it was right nearby me where
I had not stepped yet when I

157
00:10:27,225 --> 00:10:28,275
was stepping out of the shower.

158
00:10:28,815 --> 00:10:29,395
So.

159
00:10:29,905 --> 00:10:33,565
There was just a moment where I was
like, wait, whose footprint is that?

160
00:10:33,845 --> 00:10:37,185
And I was pretty terrified
because I didn't know what to do.

161
00:10:37,545 --> 00:10:41,045
But haunted houses are some
of our favorite stories.

162
00:10:41,265 --> 00:10:49,475
love the idea that a space that
people can live on after they die

163
00:10:49,495 --> 00:10:50,725
or that we can interact with it.

164
00:10:50,725 --> 00:10:54,225
There's a lot of ghost hunter
shows out there that try to

165
00:10:54,235 --> 00:10:57,405
contact or to get evidence and

166
00:10:57,405 --> 00:11:01,705
proof, recording and
video of what a ghost is.

167
00:11:02,965 --> 00:11:05,225
There was even a court case.

168
00:11:05,865 --> 00:11:12,095
was learning about the
Stamwowski versus Ackley case.

169
00:11:12,465 --> 00:11:19,025
A man named Jeffrey Stamwowski was
buying a home in the 90s and he didn't

170
00:11:19,025 --> 00:11:20,965
realize upon signing his contract

171
00:11:21,375 --> 00:11:24,315
to purchase the home that
it was notoriously haunted.

172
00:11:24,365 --> 00:11:25,835
Nobody wanted this house.

173
00:11:25,855 --> 00:11:27,845
It had been on the market for a long time.

174
00:11:31,195 --> 00:11:35,805
the neighbors and the community in the
area knew that this house was, there

175
00:11:35,805 --> 00:11:40,775
was a lot of stories about noises and
footsteps and things crashing around.

176
00:11:40,785 --> 00:11:44,115
And people were well aware that
this house was possibly haunted.

177
00:11:44,295 --> 00:11:46,305
He was not aware when
he purchased the home.

178
00:11:46,305 --> 00:11:49,105
So he went ahead and went under contract.

179

Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [11:25.267]

180
00:11:49,425 --> 00:11:53,215
But when he realized the rumors, he
tried to back out of the contract.

181
00:11:53,255 --> 00:11:56,645
And there was this
pretty famous court case.

182
00:11:56,645 --> 00:12:02,585
They called it the Ghostbusters
ruling because in the ruling of the

183
00:12:02,615 --> 00:12:09,445
case, the judge had actually said,
we need to make it part of the law

184
00:12:10,945 --> 00:12:13,995
to disclose any haunting rumors.

185
00:12:14,025 --> 00:12:18,955
You need to let a buyer of a home know
if a house is rumored to be haunted.

186
00:12:18,965 --> 00:12:18,975
or

187
00:12:21,475 --> 00:12:24,415
they can decide to back out of the sale.

188
00:12:25,365 --> 00:12:30,855
that being an actual ruling of somebody
who it sort of legitimizes the idea

189
00:12:30,855 --> 00:12:34,815
of a haunted house that some that
a house or a space can be affected

190
00:12:34,815 --> 00:12:40,055
by energy or have an entity that
does not feel safe for some people.

191
00:12:41,485 --> 00:12:44,975
I know I am a big fan of
watching the dead files.

192
00:12:46,085 --> 00:12:50,545
show because again, it's sort of an
interesting dynamic to be able to

193
00:12:50,575 --> 00:12:54,775
legitimize the things that mediums
are experiencing when they go into

194
00:12:54,775 --> 00:12:58,245
a house or when they go into a
space and they can feel entities,

195
00:12:58,385 --> 00:13:02,015
can feel certain people, certain.

196
00:13:04,325 --> 00:13:09,685
perhaps people who've passed on or people
who have never inhabited a body but

197
00:13:09,705 --> 00:13:13,045
are surrounded by a sort of heaviness.

198
00:13:13,375 --> 00:13:21,445
so that show is interesting because
it has a very logical minded private

199
00:13:21,445 --> 00:13:25,025
detective retired from the police force.

200
00:13:25,035 --> 00:13:27,685
He's really good at investigations and

201
00:13:28,385 --> 00:13:33,225
He investigates the property separately
from the medium who investigates the

202
00:13:33,225 --> 00:13:35,385
property from a mystical point of view.

203
00:13:35,395 --> 00:13:40,035
So she goes into the home and she talks
about what she sees, what she feels.

204
00:13:40,745 --> 00:13:44,485
She even goes to a police sketch
artist and has them sketch any

205
00:13:44,595 --> 00:13:49,025
images that she receives in her
channeling, in her being able to,

206
00:13:49,795 --> 00:13:51,325
what she's experienced in the home.

207
00:13:52,395 --> 00:13:55,075
And then separately, the private
investigator will investigate

208
00:13:55,075 --> 00:13:56,305
the history of the home.

209
00:13:56,305 --> 00:13:56,725
Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [13:32.647]

210
00:13:56,785 --> 00:14:00,665
any events that happened there,
anyone who's lived there, died there,

211
00:14:01,805 --> 00:14:06,455
anything he finds out and he brings
it to the end of the episode that,

212
00:14:06,875 --> 00:14:12,925
you know, the owners or the people
who live in the home, whatever they're

213
00:14:12,925 --> 00:14:15,075
experiencing, it's usually not good.

214
00:14:15,135 --> 00:14:17,375
It's usually like they are terrified.

215
00:14:17,465 --> 00:14:21,585
They are having experiences that
they don't want to continue or

216
00:14:21,585 --> 00:14:22,855
they don't want to affect them.

217
00:14:23,375 --> 00:14:25,975
And this is an effort to find out more.

218
00:14:26,185 --> 00:14:27,155
find out why.

219
00:14:28,655 --> 00:14:31,535
so it's interesting when they get to
sit across the table from this medium

220
00:14:31,565 --> 00:14:36,065
and this private investigator and
both of them reveal what they found.

221
00:14:37,315 --> 00:14:41,575
My mom and I love this show because
it is really, really fascinating to

222
00:14:41,575 --> 00:14:47,245
see how many times, how often she is
really accurate in what she discovers.

223
00:14:48,185 --> 00:14:54,115
She discovers sometimes people
who actually lived or have a

224
00:14:54,115 --> 00:14:55,385
connection to the property.

225
00:14:55,945 --> 00:15:02,195
And the history that the PI has
dug up will corroborate that.

226
00:15:02,625 --> 00:15:04,695
it's very validating with that.

227
00:15:05,415 --> 00:15:09,095
But what I've noticed at the end of
these episodes is that when it comes

228
00:15:09,095 --> 00:15:14,925
time for people to say, well, what do
we do if there is an entity or if there

229
00:15:14,945 --> 00:15:21,525
is a certain spirit that seems to be
wanting to harm us or wants to bother

230
00:15:21,525 --> 00:15:23,545
us or doesn't like us living there?

231
00:15:23,765 --> 00:15:25,005
What are we going to do about it?

232
00:15:25,355 --> 00:15:29,975
she will often give kind of
a formula for what you could

233
00:15:29,975 --> 00:15:32,785
potentially do to help the situation.

234
00:15:32,975 --> 00:15:35,975
And she talks about cleansing
the space or cleansing the home.

235
00:15:36,325 --> 00:15:40,345
She talks about finding a
spiritual leader or oftentimes

236
00:15:40,365 --> 00:15:42,015
she will mention a Reiki master.

237
00:15:43,195 --> 00:15:46,565
She says, find yourself a Reiki master
and have them come and cleanse your house.

238
00:15:47,405 --> 00:15:50,805
And I kind of love this
because I am a Reiki master.

239
00:15:51,035 --> 00:15:52,335
I do understand that.

240
00:15:52,465 --> 00:15:55,455
do understand what she's saying
and why a Reiki master would be the

241
00:15:55,455 --> 00:16:00,765
perfect profession or person who
could come and help cleanse a space.

242
00:16:01,445 --> 00:16:05,025
But what I'm hoping to be able to
bring forward today when we talk about

243
00:16:05,035 --> 00:16:11,575
haunted houses and types of haunting
and cleansing spaces is I'm hoping to

244
00:16:11,575 --> 00:16:18,115
be able to help people feel empowered in
that whatever they've got experience that

245
00:16:18,125 --> 00:16:19,805
they're experiencing with their space.

246
00:16:19,805 --> 00:16:20,969
Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [15:56.377]

247
00:16:21,135 --> 00:16:23,735
that they are not helpless with it.

248
00:16:24,395 --> 00:16:25,975
I'm going to share another story.

249
00:16:25,975 --> 00:16:29,285
So I have a friend who is a real
estate agent and she just happens

250
00:16:29,285 --> 00:16:35,105
to be very connected to the world
of energy and mystic type things.

251
00:16:36,085 --> 00:16:37,325
Woo woo, if you will.

252
00:16:40,945 --> 00:16:44,795
She is really great at selling houses
and she is extremely personable

253
00:16:44,795 --> 00:16:46,625
when she works with clients.

254
00:16:46,665 --> 00:16:49,165
So she's the kind of person who's like,

255
00:16:50,045 --> 00:16:53,425
you know, during the sale of your
house, your water heater happened

256
00:16:53,425 --> 00:16:57,115
to go out or leak or something,
I will pay to have it repaired.

257
00:16:57,405 --> 00:16:58,395
I will help you.

258
00:16:59,005 --> 00:17:03,645
She's very much about making sure that the
buying and the selling process of homes

259
00:17:05,875 --> 00:17:10,885
is very rewarding and it isn't
as stressful as it needs to be.

260
00:17:10,915 --> 00:17:14,245
And she's very good at
putting people first.

261
00:17:14,755 --> 00:17:18,275
So she had a property that
she was trying to sell.

262
00:17:20,085 --> 00:17:28,095
The owners had a teenage boy and for
whatever reason, the teenage boy just

263
00:17:28,105 --> 00:17:29,925
seemed to be kind of in a dark place.

264
00:17:29,985 --> 00:17:33,075
He was getting into a lot of trouble.

265
00:17:33,225 --> 00:17:36,035
He was alienating himself.

266
00:17:36,795 --> 00:17:40,355
There was a lot of tension in
the home, know, things like that.

267
00:17:40,775 --> 00:17:44,925
But they had asked her to sell
their home and she was having a

268
00:17:44,925 --> 00:17:48,575
lot of difficulty even getting
people to come and see the home.

269
00:17:49,465 --> 00:17:52,035
doing showings and she's
very good at her job.

270
00:17:52,115 --> 00:17:54,945
So I know it wasn't that and
I had seen the home myself.

271
00:17:54,945 --> 00:17:58,285
So I knew this was a
very desirable location.

272
00:17:58,295 --> 00:18:04,085
It was a large home, lots of
bedrooms, lots of big open spaces.

273
00:18:04,105 --> 00:18:05,695
It was light.

274
00:18:07,215 --> 00:18:12,425
There really wasn't any logical physical
reasons why this home was having

275
00:18:12,445 --> 00:18:15,515
trouble being sold or being seen.

276
00:18:15,525 --> 00:18:15,545
So

277
00:18:17,715 --> 00:18:21,115
she invited a Reiki master
to come and cleanse the home.

278
00:18:21,125 --> 00:18:24,135
She gave no information
whatsoever to this person.

279
00:18:24,145 --> 00:18:29,525
She just knew that they are good at
cleansing energy and cleansing spaces and

280
00:18:29,605 --> 00:18:33,195
healing the healing work that Reiki does.

281
00:18:34,025 --> 00:18:38,445
Reiki is just an energy of love and
light that helps when infused into

282
00:18:38,445 --> 00:18:44,175
a space or into a body, it can help
cleanse and balance those spaces.

283
00:18:45,865 --> 00:18:46,865
she had

284
00:18:46,865 --> 00:18:47,539
Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [18:23.465]

285
00:18:47,635 --> 00:18:52,365
The Reiki master come and drum, which
we'll talk about in just a minute.

286
00:18:52,395 --> 00:18:56,495
But in drumming the spaces and going
through the space, she also was doing

287
00:18:56,495 --> 00:18:58,265
smoke cleansing and things like that.

288
00:18:59,485 --> 00:19:02,425
She did go into one of the
bedrooms that the home was empty.

289
00:19:03,045 --> 00:19:04,185
They had already moved out.

290
00:19:04,185 --> 00:19:10,855
So she went into one of the
rooms and she was like, there

291
00:19:10,855 --> 00:19:14,155
was a teenage boy in this home.

292
00:19:15,225 --> 00:19:17,955
And this teenage boy was very disturbed.

293
00:19:19,355 --> 00:19:22,975
It's possible that he was harming animals.

294
00:19:23,495 --> 00:19:27,265
And that was interesting because in
our neighborhood at the time, there

295
00:19:27,265 --> 00:19:34,575
were some reports of some people's
pets being harmed, like at night.

296
00:19:36,245 --> 00:19:39,915
And it looked like that the
windows in this boy's room were

297
00:19:39,915 --> 00:19:44,115
tampered with, like he had broken
the seals or something like that.

298
00:19:44,535 --> 00:19:46,525
been sneaking out of his room at night.

299
00:19:47,235 --> 00:19:52,555
So whatever was going on, whatever
this young man was involved in

300
00:19:52,645 --> 00:19:59,155
and how he was doing life, it
was what you might call dark.

301
00:20:00,215 --> 00:20:01,705
I don't know if I prefer the term dark.

302
00:20:01,735 --> 00:20:05,695
I think that kind of has a negative
connotation, but it was very heavy.

303
00:20:05,715 --> 00:20:07,075
It was a very heavy space.

304
00:20:07,595 --> 00:20:10,575
She did some work to cleanse
that energy out and to remove

305
00:20:10,575 --> 00:20:12,115
it from the space of the home.

306
00:20:13,915 --> 00:20:19,925
After she did her cleansing, the home
was under contract very soon after.

307
00:20:20,055 --> 00:20:27,045
So I'm always relaying this kind of
story to real estate agents when I'm

308
00:20:27,045 --> 00:20:30,675
networking with my business Prism Healing.

309
00:20:30,705 --> 00:20:34,125
I'm talking to real estate agents and
I'm like, you might think that the

310
00:20:34,125 --> 00:20:40,275
work that I do is not valuable to you
or that it's just woo woo or you don't

311
00:20:40,855 --> 00:20:42,755
necessarily understand how it works.

312
00:20:44,605 --> 00:20:51,695
I can assure you that the effort put into
and the intention putting into cleansing

313
00:20:51,695 --> 00:20:56,535
a space of any energies, whether they're
heavy or not, but cleansing the previous

314
00:20:56,565 --> 00:21:02,015
owner's energies out of the home and
allowing the vacuum or space to be emptied

315
00:21:02,015 --> 00:21:08,295
out so that they can attract new owners
to the home can be really, really helpful.

316
00:21:08,745 --> 00:21:10,495
And if you're not looking to
sell your home, if you are

317
00:21:10,495 --> 00:21:11,965
just a person who is like,

318
00:21:11,965 --> 00:21:12,193
Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [20:47.865]

319
00:21:12,225 --> 00:21:16,465
Listen, I just want to make sure
that my home is optimal or that

320
00:21:16,495 --> 00:21:18,265
if there is entities in my home,

321
00:21:20,395 --> 00:21:26,035
that I can have a home that's cleansed
and uplifted and raise the vibrational

322
00:21:26,035 --> 00:21:29,565
energy of the home itself, that the
family that's in it is protected.

323
00:21:29,585 --> 00:21:32,555
And so I'm going to talk about
a couple of ways to do that.

324
00:21:32,635 --> 00:21:35,845
So there are a couple of types
of hauntings, if you will.

325
00:21:36,395 --> 00:21:39,775
I'm going to just go over
a few that I know of.

326
00:21:39,805 --> 00:21:43,755
I'm sure that there are experts on
hauntings and spirits that can dive

327
00:21:43,755 --> 00:21:46,745
into this much more than I can, but
I'm going to talk about what I know.

328
00:21:47,905 --> 00:21:57,695
There are spirits, for example, spirit
being or souls being that they had

329
00:21:57,715 --> 00:22:00,255
inhabited a body they have passed on.

330
00:22:00,765 --> 00:22:07,235
And by the way, typically if they are
staying in a space, it is because they

331
00:22:07,315 --> 00:22:13,175
have not yet moved on to the next realm,
moved into the light, if you will.

332
00:22:13,955 --> 00:22:15,315
So they're hanging around.

333
00:22:15,395 --> 00:22:19,015
So these are the types of entities
where it's like, they don't know that

334
00:22:19,015 --> 00:22:26,085
they're dead or that they have unresolved
issues or they have something that keeps

335
00:22:26,085 --> 00:22:30,065
them connected to what they believe to
be their physical body or their ego.

336
00:22:30,825 --> 00:22:32,935
This is a painful state for them to be in.

337
00:22:32,965 --> 00:22:35,665
It's not helpful to not go on.

338
00:22:36,855 --> 00:22:40,735
And most of the time when spirits are
souls of somebody we know and love who've

339
00:22:40,765 --> 00:22:46,195
passed on, they no longer remain in
the physical state of what they looked

340
00:22:46,225 --> 00:22:50,455
like, what they were wearing, what
their body, what their struggles were.

341
00:22:51,685 --> 00:22:57,715
I have heard it said that when a spirit
moves on, so let's say you have grandma

342
00:22:57,715 --> 00:23:02,495
or grandpa and they've passed away and
they've decided to move on, they're able

343
00:23:02,495 --> 00:23:04,035
to move through the light and move on.

344
00:23:04,635 --> 00:23:06,515
When they're in their white light selves,

345
00:23:06,685 --> 00:23:09,605
you probably wouldn't even
recognize them because they have

346
00:23:09,605 --> 00:23:13,185
shed all of their earthly ego.

347
00:23:13,955 --> 00:23:17,575
They are no longer in a state
where they care as much about

348
00:23:17,575 --> 00:23:18,755
what's going on on Earth.

349
00:23:18,795 --> 00:23:23,005
They are ascended beings, if you will.

350
00:23:24,435 --> 00:23:26,115
And there's many levels of that.

351
00:23:26,795 --> 00:23:32,925
But I think there are certain
souls that can remain attached to

352
00:23:32,925 --> 00:23:35,055
the Earth and to their lives here.

354
00:23:37,135 --> 00:23:42,805
Now, there are something called
shadow people, and I don't think

355
00:23:42,805 --> 00:23:48,055
that these types of entities have
held a body at any point in time.

356
00:23:48,785 --> 00:23:52,115
I'm not exactly sure what they're
connected with, and I'm not sure

357
00:23:52,115 --> 00:23:53,845
they're all exactly harmful.

358
00:23:55,125 --> 00:23:58,065
This is and many people will
understand this if I say this.

359
00:23:58,475 --> 00:24:02,065
This is the type of thing
where you're not quite looking.

360
00:24:03,085 --> 00:24:05,415
Your eyes are not focused on

361
00:24:05,705 --> 00:24:09,535
something, your eyes are focused on
something else and in the corner of your

362
00:24:09,535 --> 00:24:15,575
eye, it's as if somebody walks past the
doorway or somebody walks through, you

363
00:24:15,575 --> 00:24:18,765
could just see movement in the corner
of your eye and it's just a shadow.

364
00:24:20,295 --> 00:24:25,695
There is a really, really great
way to make sure that your space

365
00:24:25,695 --> 00:24:30,275
is safe and protected from the
shadow people, whether they intend

366
00:24:30,275 --> 00:24:34,665
harm or not, that just there are,

367
00:24:34,675 --> 00:24:37,615
I some from a market one time.

368
00:24:40,595 --> 00:24:43,085
There's these pyramids
infused with crystals.

369
00:24:43,085 --> 00:24:46,875
They have a bunch of crystals
in them and they sometimes have

370
00:24:46,875 --> 00:24:48,795
like sacred geometry or symbols.

371
00:24:49,845 --> 00:24:54,155
It really doesn't matter what the
object is, but these ones all that I

372
00:24:54,155 --> 00:24:57,165
bought have selenite in them, which
is a cleansing crystal we talked

373
00:24:57,175 --> 00:24:59,025
about in our crystals episode.

374
00:25:00,245 --> 00:25:01,745
I purchased four of these.

375
00:25:02,715 --> 00:25:06,655
that were intentionally infused
with protection from a shaman

376
00:25:06,955 --> 00:25:10,715
or from a person who does this
kind of work, cleansing work.

377
00:25:11,385 --> 00:25:14,625
They basically put a spell on it.

378
00:25:15,105 --> 00:25:16,395
You can call it whatever you want.

379
00:25:16,775 --> 00:25:18,355
They blessed it.

380
00:25:19,315 --> 00:25:25,355
These four are placed in the corners
of a space and it is protecting

381
00:25:25,355 --> 00:25:28,355
the space from these sort of
entities, these shadow people.

382
00:25:30,355 --> 00:25:31,655
Why or where they come from?

383
00:25:31,655 --> 00:25:32,195
I'm not sure.

384
00:25:32,435 --> 00:25:34,225
but they're there.

385
00:25:34,255 --> 00:25:38,825
And there are a lot of people who
will agree with me who can attest

386
00:25:38,835 --> 00:25:44,165
that they have felt or seen these
shadow people around, trying to get

387
00:25:44,165 --> 00:25:50,025
into the home, trying to influence
you in some way, trying to kind of

388
00:25:50,035 --> 00:25:52,155
infiltrate the energy of the home.

389
00:25:53,575 --> 00:25:59,495
There are entities and entities don't
necessarily have to be spirits of

390
00:25:59,495 --> 00:26:01,235
dead people, people who've passed on.

391
00:26:01,235 --> 00:26:01,559
Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [25:37.44]

392
00:26:01,605 --> 00:26:05,965
but entities can be from
the people who are living.

393
00:26:07,095 --> 00:26:08,405
And these are like energies.

394
00:26:08,955 --> 00:26:11,945
it's kind of like spirits shadow
people, entities and energies.

395
00:26:13,665 --> 00:26:18,645
Now, if someone in the home happens
to be going through a really hard

396
00:26:18,645 --> 00:26:23,925
time is suffering from depression and
anxiety and self loathing and self

397
00:26:26,325 --> 00:26:30,475
not participating in self
care, there can be what

398
00:26:32,495 --> 00:26:37,715
What sort of grows from that, it's
sort of like as if that person were

399
00:26:37,715 --> 00:26:43,625
creating a dark cloud over them and that
dark cloud just hangs over the person.

400
00:26:43,915 --> 00:26:45,775
And it can actually
just stay in the space.

401
00:26:46,015 --> 00:26:47,045
It can stay in the home.

402
00:26:47,335 --> 00:26:50,795
This is why a lot of spaces
are affected by teenagers.

403
00:26:50,825 --> 00:26:56,635
When teenagers are going through kind
of that transition, they can attract a

404
00:26:56,635 --> 00:27:00,225
lot of energy that can feel tumultuous.

405
00:27:00,225 --> 00:27:01,815
It can feel like

406
00:27:01,845 --> 00:27:07,775
chaos, just because that's sort of the
time of life that they're in already.

407
00:27:08,895 --> 00:27:10,505
know, being a teenager is not easy.

408
00:27:10,505 --> 00:27:12,845
There's a lot going on for them.

409
00:27:12,995 --> 00:27:15,835
So when someone is going through
something like that, they can

410
00:27:15,885 --> 00:27:22,075
actually create this dark energy or
they can have it manifest as if it

411
00:27:22,095 --> 00:27:30,155
is an actual entity or a personage
that doesn't exist or that wasn't.

412
00:27:30,725 --> 00:27:35,745
person in real life, then that
entity or that poltergeist

413
00:27:35,765 --> 00:27:38,645
can act out in physical ways.

414
00:27:38,955 --> 00:27:42,565
So there can be, you know, books
flying off of shelves, things

415
00:27:42,565 --> 00:27:46,035
dropping, you can hear noises,
can hear whispers, you can hear...

416
00:27:46,445 --> 00:27:48,155
So lots of different ways
that that can manifest.

417
00:27:48,205 --> 00:27:51,465
And for people who are empathic
or really connected in that

418
00:27:51,465 --> 00:27:53,125
way can feel it and sense it.

419
00:27:54,965 --> 00:27:58,675
So people who are going to visit your
home, for example, can walk in and...

420
00:27:58,825 --> 00:28:02,735
they can sense that something is
just not quite right, that something

421
00:28:02,735 --> 00:28:04,925
is heavy or off in the home.

422
00:28:06,585 --> 00:28:11,625
But here is what I would like to offer
you today is that there are a lot of ways

423
00:28:11,655 --> 00:28:19,675
to cleanse and to protect and to empower
the living and the spaces of your home.

424
00:28:20,705 --> 00:28:22,135
So I'm going talk a little
bit about that today.

425
00:28:22,135 --> 00:28:26,415
So there's going to be, so I have a
couple of spells that I've collected.

426
00:28:26,415 --> 00:28:26,865
I've got some

427
00:28:29,515 --> 00:28:30,463
Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [28:04.82]

428
00:28:30,665 --> 00:28:31,035
I don't know.

429
00:28:31,095 --> 00:28:34,155
They're just pre-written
spells someone made.

430
00:28:35,135 --> 00:28:39,425
There's the sacred land and spirit
tree spell purification ritual.

431
00:28:41,335 --> 00:28:45,225
This one is engaging with the
deity of Isis who is a healing

432
00:28:45,225 --> 00:28:47,015
goddess of the Egyptian mythology.

433
00:28:47,075 --> 00:28:51,115
And it says to use salts from the sea.

434
00:28:52,095 --> 00:28:53,685
Salt is very cleansing as well.

435
00:28:53,685 --> 00:28:57,635
So I've seen a lot of spells where
they'll put blocks of salt or salt

436
00:28:58,925 --> 00:29:03,415
mixed with water and that is placed
all around the perimeter of your home.

437
00:29:03,415 --> 00:29:07,585
So all the way around your yard
or in inside the home all the way

438
00:29:07,585 --> 00:29:10,945
around every room of the home.

439
00:29:12,855 --> 00:29:16,785
So salt, sea salt, being a part of it.

440
00:29:16,845 --> 00:29:20,615
This one says, Isis in your wisdom
helped me reflect your image.

441
00:29:21,005 --> 00:29:22,685
My body is a temple to the goddess.

442
00:29:22,695 --> 00:29:26,265
Here I worship today with
head, hands and heart and soul.

443
00:29:27,755 --> 00:29:29,725
Temple of love spell.

444
00:29:31,255 --> 00:29:34,135
This room is my temple, my altar to love.

445
00:29:34,565 --> 00:29:35,895
I light the flame.

446
00:29:36,295 --> 00:29:38,115
So this would involve a candle.

447
00:29:38,355 --> 00:29:39,435
I light the flame.

448
00:29:39,635 --> 00:29:40,685
I found the flame.

449
00:29:40,805 --> 00:29:42,595
Each candle I burn is a wish.

450
00:29:43,035 --> 00:29:46,455
I desire and will be desired
in return and so it is.

451
00:29:47,355 --> 00:29:55,265
That's giving some, some
invitation for love to inhabit

452
00:29:55,265 --> 00:29:56,975
the space and to allow that the

453
00:29:57,015 --> 00:29:59,625
people in the space would love each other.

454
00:30:00,855 --> 00:30:04,455
Home, this is a housewarming
spell for a new home.

455
00:30:05,085 --> 00:30:09,375
By the way, if you've just moved into
a home, I highly recommend doing a

456
00:30:09,375 --> 00:30:13,695
ritual to cleanse the home of any
previous energies and to make sure that

457
00:30:13,725 --> 00:30:16,155
your energy is invited into the home.

458
00:30:16,715 --> 00:30:21,085
So kind of making the space
your own is really important.

459
00:30:21,715 --> 00:30:24,125
Home of my body, I accept your shelter.

460
00:30:24,135 --> 00:30:26,635
Home of my heart, I
receive your blessings.

461
00:30:26,675 --> 00:30:28,765
Home of my heart, I'm open to joy.

462
00:30:28,805 --> 00:30:30,825
And so it is, and so it shall be.

463
00:30:31,985 --> 00:30:35,655
So whatever way that you decide
to create a ritual, there are

464
00:30:35,655 --> 00:30:38,175
certain herbs that can be helpful.

465
00:30:39,715 --> 00:30:42,865
If you've ever watched the movie
Practical Magic, which we are reviewing

466
00:30:42,895 --> 00:30:47,775
on the Witch Movie Project, so make
sure that you hop over there and watch

467
00:30:47,775 --> 00:30:49,685
that episode when that one comes out.

468
00:30:49,875 --> 00:30:53,255
But we talk about the
ending of that movie saying,

469
00:30:53,785 --> 00:30:54,057
Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [30:29.572]

470
00:30:54,105 --> 00:30:56,055
plant rosemary by your garden gate.

471
00:30:56,975 --> 00:31:02,685
Rosemary can be very effective
for protection, for cleansing.

472
00:31:04,325 --> 00:31:10,475
But I have this book, The Holistic Witch,
which talks about some ways to plant

473
00:31:10,475 --> 00:31:15,715
certain things into your garden, which
are great for home protection, and some

474
00:31:15,745 --> 00:31:22,265
indoor plants and herbs that you can
involve in the indoor protection and

475
00:31:22,555 --> 00:31:23,575
cleansing of your home.

476
00:31:24,715 --> 00:31:27,335
they recommend using cow slip daisies.

477
00:31:28,375 --> 00:31:36,505
Daisies and their happy little faces,
of course, are excellent for just

478
00:31:36,795 --> 00:31:43,125
sort of, how do I put this kind of
welcoming the positive energy into the

479
00:31:43,125 --> 00:31:48,115
home or any guests who are coming in,
making sure that they are in a good

480
00:31:48,155 --> 00:31:49,955
space when they come into your home.

481
00:31:50,695 --> 00:31:51,675
and that they will be warded.

482
00:31:53,675 --> 00:31:58,325
So warding is like casting a spell
of protection so that nothing can

483
00:31:58,365 --> 00:32:03,715
enter the space that is going to
cause harm or is going to leave

484
00:32:03,855 --> 00:32:05,575
their heavy residual energy.

485
00:32:06,495 --> 00:32:06,865
Honeysuckle,

486
00:32:10,315 --> 00:32:11,225
foxglove, raspberry.

487
00:32:11,225 --> 00:32:14,745
I have raspberry bushes that just
happened to already be there when we

488
00:32:14,745 --> 00:32:19,235
moved in, but they are kind of on the
perimeter of the border of our yard.

489
00:32:20,095 --> 00:32:26,185
I super love raspberry and raspberry
can be a great way to create space.

490
00:32:26,185 --> 00:32:29,545
Here's a card that has
raspberry create space.

491
00:32:29,565 --> 00:32:31,575
It's like nesting, right?

492
00:32:31,575 --> 00:32:38,375
The image on that card is little birds
nesting, making their nest their own.

493
00:32:39,505 --> 00:32:42,885
Lavender, jasmine.

494
00:32:44,385 --> 00:32:46,555
One way to be able to create

495
00:32:47,365 --> 00:32:52,355
to kind of include these herbs that I'm
talking about when you find the herbs

496
00:32:52,365 --> 00:32:57,765
you want to use and they can be really
anything that's meaningful to you.

497
00:32:58,285 --> 00:33:03,035
I'm listing some that are in some
books and spells, but honestly, if

498
00:33:03,095 --> 00:33:07,505
it feels like, you know, this is an
herb that my grandmother used to cook

499
00:33:07,505 --> 00:33:11,525
with and when I smell it, I think
of her and her warm and nurturing

500
00:33:11,535 --> 00:33:13,121
and loving energy, then that's...

501
00:33:13,121 --> 00:33:13,580
Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [32:49.493]

502
00:33:13,645 --> 00:33:17,515
is going to be just as powerful
in your spells as anything else.

503
00:33:17,525 --> 00:33:23,805
But what I'm going to suggest, one
way to incorporate these into a spell

504
00:33:23,805 --> 00:33:25,735
or a ritual is to make a simmer pot.

505
00:33:26,505 --> 00:33:33,335
So in the hearth fire or on your stove
or in the center of your home, usually

506
00:33:33,335 --> 00:33:38,375
your kitchen, you are going to boil
some water on the stove and you can

507
00:33:38,375 --> 00:33:42,505
include any herbs that smell good or that

508
00:33:42,655 --> 00:33:47,245
infuse that your senses with
those positive feelings.

509
00:33:47,925 --> 00:33:52,175
So being able to include some
orange slices, some lavender

510
00:33:52,195 --> 00:33:54,355
in there, some rosemary.

511
00:33:55,175 --> 00:33:58,485
It's kind of like you're playing potions.

512
00:33:58,805 --> 00:34:02,165
When you're a little kid, if you ever
went outside and you got a bowl from your

513
00:34:02,165 --> 00:34:06,205
mom's kitchen and you went around and
you just started putting things in your

514
00:34:06,205 --> 00:34:11,095
bowl to mix up and make a potion, that's
how you make a really good simmer pot.

515
00:34:11,705 --> 00:34:16,975
So you just go around finding
the herbs and the flowers and the

516
00:34:17,415 --> 00:34:21,345
essences of things that feel like
protection and warding for you.

517
00:34:21,785 --> 00:34:26,705
And what we talked about in the
first four episodes of Practically

518
00:34:26,705 --> 00:34:29,855
Magic, if you haven't gone back and
listened to those episodes, when

519
00:34:29,855 --> 00:34:34,145
you're creating a ritual or a spell,
you are wanting to include the will.

520
00:34:35,075 --> 00:34:35,315
So.

521
00:34:35,485 --> 00:34:36,735
That's what's in your heart.

522
00:34:36,775 --> 00:34:41,045
That's the feelings you're infusing
in this is I am infusing gratitude.

523
00:34:41,065 --> 00:34:43,395
I am infusing this with protection.

524
00:34:43,725 --> 00:34:48,095
I'm infusing this with good feelings
that I want to envelop my entire

525
00:34:48,105 --> 00:34:50,045
home and space in with this.

526
00:34:51,345 --> 00:34:52,935
You want the words.

527
00:34:52,985 --> 00:34:57,395
So as you're putting your herbs
and things into your pot, you

528
00:34:57,395 --> 00:35:00,045
are saying, this is for love.

529
00:35:00,215 --> 00:35:03,875
You know, maybe you put some rose petals
in there and you say this is to invite

530
00:35:03,975 --> 00:35:09,785
love into my home and orange slices,
which is, you know, helping me create

531
00:35:09,785 --> 00:35:11,895
positive relationships with each other.

532
00:35:14,075 --> 00:35:15,395
Maybe some rosemary.

533
00:35:15,425 --> 00:35:20,755
And as you put that in, say this is
to ward off any negative energies

534
00:35:20,755 --> 00:35:23,125
that do not serve me and my family.

535
00:35:24,095 --> 00:35:26,425
And then you're putting that all
in your simmer pot and letting it

536
00:35:26,425 --> 00:35:29,105
simmer and letting that steam and

537
00:35:29,105 --> 00:35:29,499
Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [35:05.367]

538
00:35:29,555 --> 00:35:31,775
good essence, just fill your home.

539
00:35:33,365 --> 00:35:37,045
Another great way is,
again, we mentioned sound.

540
00:35:37,125 --> 00:35:44,545
Sound healing for witches, for healers,
for anyone, absolutely anyone, you can

541
00:35:44,555 --> 00:35:47,485
infuse your home or use sound healing.

542
00:35:48,345 --> 00:35:49,405
One thing is a witch's bell.

543
00:35:49,965 --> 00:35:51,235
So I have here.

544
00:35:53,625 --> 00:35:56,425
This is an apple bell for school.

545
00:35:57,095 --> 00:36:01,545
But really apples are sacred
to Celtic mythology and the

546
00:36:01,585 --> 00:36:03,795
Isle of Apples is Avalon.

547
00:36:03,965 --> 00:36:07,575
And so I went ahead and purchased
this bell specifically for ritual.

548
00:36:08,455 --> 00:36:13,675
I also have a staff with bells on it that
I use for this exact purpose as well.

549
00:36:14,005 --> 00:36:18,955
But I go around to doorways, doors
that are going to go outside the front

550
00:36:18,965 --> 00:36:20,925
door, the garage door, the back door.

551
00:36:21,755 --> 00:36:26,055
and I just make sure that I ring the
bell around the perimeter of the door.

552
00:36:26,735 --> 00:36:29,865
And as I'm doing this,
I'm putting the will.

553
00:36:30,325 --> 00:36:37,085
My intention is to ward off anything that
does not belong in my home and to create

554
00:36:37,175 --> 00:36:42,595
a barrier of protection from anything
entering my home that does not serve me.

555
00:36:44,195 --> 00:36:49,055
Before I got into any of this mystical
stuff, when I did not know a single thing

556
00:36:49,055 --> 00:36:51,305
about energy, energetics, or anything

557
00:36:51,435 --> 00:36:52,205
how works.

558
00:36:53,325 --> 00:36:57,095
I remember there was a time when
our house, our home was very heavy.

559
00:36:57,425 --> 00:36:59,115
We were all going through a lot.

560
00:36:59,355 --> 00:37:03,495
My husband was very stressed out
at his job and struggling with

561
00:37:03,905 --> 00:37:08,005
quite a few different things and
myself being the partner of a

562
00:37:08,005 --> 00:37:09,235
person going through all that.

563
00:37:09,365 --> 00:37:13,435
Plus I was, I think at the time
I had just had my twins and

564
00:37:13,475 --> 00:37:14,935
that was a really hard time.

565
00:37:15,005 --> 00:37:19,115
I was trying to take care of a little
toddler and twin babies and kind

566
00:37:19,115 --> 00:37:20,545
of doing a lot of that on my own.

567
00:37:21,955 --> 00:37:24,595
so the house and home
just seemed very tense.

568
00:37:25,035 --> 00:37:27,175
We were kind of at each
other's throats a lot.

569
00:37:27,245 --> 00:37:29,085
It did not feel like a loving space.

570
00:37:29,135 --> 00:37:31,725
It felt like we were all a
little bit hard on each other.

571
00:37:32,445 --> 00:37:35,975
And I just remember thinking, we have
to do something to change this up.

572
00:37:35,995 --> 00:37:38,505
We have to, we have to do something.

573
00:37:39,215 --> 00:37:43,485
And I told my son who was four
at the time, I said, do you

574
00:37:43,495 --> 00:37:44,315
know what we're going to do?

575
00:37:44,665 --> 00:37:47,225
We're going to go around the
house and take all the nasty away.

576
00:37:47,575 --> 00:37:49,195
We're going to take all this nasty.

577
00:37:49,195 --> 00:37:49,475
Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [37:25.142]

578
00:37:49,475 --> 00:37:53,955
out of the house, all the bad
feelings, all the yuck, all the, you

579
00:37:53,955 --> 00:37:56,785
know, just anything we don't like,
we're gonna take it all out and we're

580
00:37:56,785 --> 00:37:58,045
gonna send it out the front door.

581
00:37:59,085 --> 00:38:02,345
And I went around the house and we
literally just with our hands, we were

582
00:38:02,345 --> 00:38:09,415
scooping up bad stuff out of the air, out
of the corners, out of the shelves, out

583
00:38:09,415 --> 00:38:11,945
of the doorways, anywhere behind beds.

584
00:38:12,245 --> 00:38:16,085
We went all over the house and I just kept
saying to him like, come on, let's scoop

585
00:38:16,085 --> 00:38:18,545
it up, scoop it up, let's scoop it up.

586
00:38:18,855 --> 00:38:20,925
And we did that and he had a blast.

587
00:38:20,925 --> 00:38:23,295
He thought this was the
funniest fun game ever.

588
00:38:23,775 --> 00:38:28,435
We went around and scooped up all the bad
stuff and we sent it out the front door.

589
00:38:28,435 --> 00:38:32,435
We opened the front door and we
literally just pushed it out.

590
00:38:33,755 --> 00:38:39,065
And come to find out years later that
this ritual that I created before I even

591
00:38:39,065 --> 00:38:42,225
knew how to do a ritual was exactly right.

592
00:38:42,385 --> 00:38:43,865
It was exactly what we needed.

593
00:38:44,955 --> 00:38:46,305
all felt a difference.

594
00:38:46,505 --> 00:38:52,895
felt a shift in the world and it felt
like our home was peaceful again.

595
00:38:53,175 --> 00:38:57,475
That whatever we had let
develop or bring up in this...

596
00:38:58,225 --> 00:39:00,405
So that's what you can do with bells.

597
00:39:00,455 --> 00:39:01,935
You can send it out.

598
00:39:03,605 --> 00:39:06,595
Drumming is an extremely effective way.

599
00:39:06,605 --> 00:39:09,615
I have my drum, of course,
that I use during healing.

600
00:39:10,185 --> 00:39:14,245
sessions, reiki sessions with
clients, but drumming is breaking up

601
00:39:14,245 --> 00:39:19,605
the energy and sending whatever you
would like to move out to move out.

602
00:39:21,615 --> 00:39:23,335
Of course, there is smoke cleansing.

603
00:39:23,345 --> 00:39:27,295
However, I am going to be
very, very specific about this.

604
00:39:28,125 --> 00:39:32,145
A lot of people engage with saging
when they first decide to start

605
00:39:32,145 --> 00:39:39,045
doing ritual cleansing or preparing
a space for something ceremony.

606
00:39:39,535 --> 00:39:41,545
A lot of people are using white sage.

607
00:39:43,075 --> 00:39:47,705
Now, white sage is a
indigenous people's practice.

608
00:39:48,815 --> 00:39:53,215
The people who lived here in North
America, many different tribes of

609
00:39:53,225 --> 00:39:57,625
the North American continent, used
sage practices during their sacred

610
00:39:57,645 --> 00:40:03,865
and spiritual ceremonies, and they
are not for us to appropriate.

611
00:40:04,235 --> 00:40:04,905
So,

612
00:40:06,115 --> 00:40:06,331
Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [39:42.211]

613
00:40:06,365 --> 00:40:11,905
For people who maybe don't understand
what Sage was used for, what its

614
00:40:11,935 --> 00:40:19,045
purpose was, and it's not our culture
to be using Sage, I would invite you

615
00:40:19,045 --> 00:40:25,555
to second guess that and think of
another way that you can engage with

616
00:40:25,565 --> 00:40:31,575
something that is more appropriate
for your culture or for your heritage.

617
00:40:32,235 --> 00:40:34,835
I was also told

618
00:40:35,235 --> 00:40:42,175
by members of tribes that saging practices
were actually used to invite spirits,

619
00:40:42,395 --> 00:40:45,205
not cleanse the space of spirits.

620
00:40:45,965 --> 00:40:51,925
And so you can imagine how spirits
would feel if they were in your

621
00:40:51,925 --> 00:40:55,345
home and they were standing around
watching you and you're just over

622
00:40:55,345 --> 00:41:00,375
there with Sage being like, get
out, get out, get out of my home.

623
00:41:00,835 --> 00:41:03,865
They're probably just standing around
there going, what are you doing?

624
00:41:04,285 --> 00:41:04,875
What is that?

625
00:41:06,215 --> 00:41:10,155
But you can cleanse a space
with smoke and it is possible.

626
00:41:10,565 --> 00:41:14,245
The Nordic tradition of using
smoke cleansing is called seining.

627
00:41:14,715 --> 00:41:21,515
And you can use seining with some
items that are indigenous to your own

628
00:41:22,235 --> 00:41:25,485
heritage, cultural homeland, right?

629
00:41:26,465 --> 00:41:29,855
So I have here, if you're watching on
video, this is a bundle that I've made.

630
00:41:30,305 --> 00:41:33,515
I went foraging for some plants
that are invasive here because

631
00:41:33,515 --> 00:41:34,895
it's not indigenous here.

632
00:41:35,175 --> 00:41:40,845
Mullen or Mullane is one that
creates those big stocks.

633
00:41:41,445 --> 00:41:42,985
and they get really invasive.

634
00:41:42,985 --> 00:41:43,975
They're kind of everywhere.

635
00:41:44,955 --> 00:41:49,975
a friend of mine, Bergen at Nourishing
Kin taught us how to go and forage for

636
00:41:49,975 --> 00:41:56,975
these and they have really big fluffy,
soft, almost like lamb's ear, leaves,

637
00:41:57,345 --> 00:41:58,965
which are great for creating bundles.

638
00:41:59,595 --> 00:42:02,835
Now you don't need to light this
or smoke this in order to use it.

639
00:42:02,855 --> 00:42:04,445
It, inside I have.

640
00:42:04,585 --> 00:42:10,855
pine tree and lavender leaves, lavender
sticks, and a couple of other things

641
00:42:10,865 --> 00:42:16,775
that I found that are more indigenous to
the places that I have my family comes

642
00:42:16,775 --> 00:42:19,215
from or my cultural heritage comes from.

643
00:42:19,975 --> 00:42:26,025
And in studying, saying and what it
is and how to use it, it's appropriate

644
00:42:26,065 --> 00:42:30,565
to know what you're doing and what
you're engaging with before you.

645
00:42:30,905 --> 00:42:31,329
Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [42:07.107]

646
00:42:31,415 --> 00:42:33,345
participate in that ceremonial practice.

647
00:42:33,385 --> 00:42:37,585
And that is why maybe, you know,
finding somebody who is a Reiki master

648
00:42:37,595 --> 00:42:45,555
or someone who is a shaman or a mystic
who has done the work is a good idea

649
00:42:45,575 --> 00:42:49,805
if you want your space cleansed in
that way, rather than just heading

650
00:42:49,805 --> 00:42:54,335
over your local shop, buying some sage
and then being like, I sage my house.

651
00:42:54,665 --> 00:42:55,105
Look at me.

652
00:42:55,105 --> 00:42:55,795
I'm so witchy.

653
00:42:57,695 --> 00:42:58,575
Okay, so.

654
00:42:59,325 --> 00:43:03,895
You absolutely don't have to engage
in any of that if you don't want to.

655
00:43:03,895 --> 00:43:08,175
But one of the reasons why witches
are associated with brooms is because

656
00:43:08,805 --> 00:43:14,305
a lot of witches, or those even that
weren't witches, were just accused

657
00:43:14,305 --> 00:43:18,665
of witches being witches, would
use brooms to cleanse their space.

658
00:43:19,325 --> 00:43:24,915
I actually have purchased those
really great cinnamon infused

659
00:43:26,155 --> 00:43:28,755
brooms that you see at the grocery
stores around this time of year.

660
00:43:29,245 --> 00:43:31,185
I love to buy a new one every year.

661
00:43:32,215 --> 00:43:34,545
I have made my own besums.

662
00:43:35,195 --> 00:43:37,895
Broom is actually the grass.

663
00:43:38,335 --> 00:43:41,255
It's called broom that they
would use to make besums.

664
00:43:41,485 --> 00:43:44,705
And besums is the word
for what we call a broom.

665
00:43:45,265 --> 00:43:49,995
So in making a besum, have
gathered, you know, plants and

666
00:43:49,995 --> 00:43:55,295
different things and then, you
know, tied them to a large stick.

667
00:43:55,365 --> 00:43:58,885
And that is not for cleaning
my home of dirt because

668
00:43:59,075 --> 00:44:04,935
probably would actually dirty my home
more, losing leaves off of it and stuff.

669
00:44:04,975 --> 00:44:08,885
But while I'm making it and
wrapping it, I am also infusing

670
00:44:08,885 --> 00:44:11,175
it with spells, intention, asking

671
00:44:13,685 --> 00:44:16,935
for what it is that I
need this besom to be for.

672
00:44:18,905 --> 00:44:22,885
But I will buy those cinnamon infused
ones and I have a space above my

673
00:44:22,885 --> 00:44:25,535
front door where I hang it every year.

674
00:44:26,115 --> 00:44:31,175
So I take the old one down, I'll burn it
in my fire, I'll burn it outside or I'll

675
00:44:31,815 --> 00:44:33,585
do something, you know, a ritual with it.

676
00:44:33,925 --> 00:44:40,265
Taking that as a intention of all
of the energy that this broom has

677
00:44:40,305 --> 00:44:44,985
collected throughout the year is now
just going to be sent back into the

678
00:44:44,995 --> 00:44:50,775
universe and repurposed into positive
things and fertilize the world of

679
00:44:50,775 --> 00:44:54,145
energy for new energies to take place.

680
00:44:54,155 --> 00:44:54,585
So

Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [44:31.886]

682
00:44:56,055 --> 00:45:00,375
What that broom above the door is for
me is it's kind of like a cleansing

683
00:45:00,395 --> 00:45:03,125
of anyone who enters the home.

684
00:45:03,615 --> 00:45:09,415
So for guests who come into my home
or for any of those energies that

685
00:45:10,495 --> 00:45:13,975
someone might have had a rough day or
they're going through a lot and I don't

686
00:45:13,975 --> 00:45:20,415
want that to come into my home and
stay, that's what that broom is for.

687
00:45:22,245 --> 00:45:23,355
Okay, so.

688
00:45:24,235 --> 00:45:27,565
I highly recommend that certain
spaces that have a lot of people

689
00:45:27,565 --> 00:45:32,375
coming in and out and kind of leaving
their stuff, a therapist's office,

690
00:45:33,935 --> 00:45:38,855
beauty salons, I have offered the
place where I go get my hair done.

691
00:45:40,465 --> 00:45:42,295
The last time I was there, it felt great.

692
00:45:42,535 --> 00:45:45,265
It felt like an amazing space, but
there have been times when I've

693
00:45:45,265 --> 00:45:49,905
gone there and I felt the heaviness
of every person who's come in and

694
00:45:49,905 --> 00:45:51,605
out in the last couple of months.

695
00:45:52,165 --> 00:45:55,065
It feels like people come and they sit
in the chair to get their hair done.

696
00:45:55,075 --> 00:45:57,285
And sometimes they just leave their stuff.

697
00:45:57,725 --> 00:46:00,925
Either they're talking about their
things they're going through or

698
00:46:00,925 --> 00:46:05,145
what's difficult, or they are kind of

699
00:46:07,415 --> 00:46:09,445
just a lot is weighing on them.

700
00:46:09,475 --> 00:46:12,325
They're kind of coming in with all of
the energy they're holding in their

701
00:46:12,325 --> 00:46:14,745
body and they might just release it.

702
00:46:14,945 --> 00:46:20,555
They might be there to relax
and to let a lot of it go.

703
00:46:20,605 --> 00:46:21,595
And so they'll

704
00:46:21,815 --> 00:46:23,895
Dump it without even realizing it.

705
00:46:24,005 --> 00:46:26,125
A lot of people do this and
they don't even know it.

706
00:46:27,215 --> 00:46:30,845
Now this isn't, you know, the same
thing as being haunted by ghosts,

707
00:46:30,905 --> 00:46:36,325
but it can create an atmosphere where
people start to feel very irritable.

708
00:46:36,645 --> 00:46:40,055
They start to feel the energies
of things that have been left

709
00:46:40,055 --> 00:46:41,815
behind without realizing it.

710
00:46:42,245 --> 00:46:45,735
They might even ask themselves, I
wonder, I wonder why I feel this way.

711
00:46:45,815 --> 00:46:49,385
I feel, you know, so
irritated lately, or I feel.

712
00:46:49,815 --> 00:46:53,645
You know, like I'm carrying a lot or I'm
really stressed out and I don't know why.

713
00:46:54,965 --> 00:47:00,315
So I have offered and you know,
typically I will just do this for

714
00:47:00,315 --> 00:47:04,635
anyone who asks me, but it's basically
the same thing as a Reiki session.

715
00:47:05,005 --> 00:47:09,385
If someone is coming to me to
have their body cleansed and to

716
00:47:09,385 --> 00:47:12,985
have, you know, to let a lot go.

717
00:47:12,985 --> 00:47:13,300
Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [46:49.183]

718
00:47:13,345 --> 00:47:17,245
I know how to keep myself safe from
those energies and I know how to keep

719
00:47:17,255 --> 00:47:19,455
my Reiki room safe from those energies.

720
00:47:19,475 --> 00:47:22,045
So I cleanse the spaces quite often.

721
00:47:22,915 --> 00:47:27,725
Again, I have these crystals on these
different rituals that I participate

722
00:47:27,725 --> 00:47:32,985
in to make sure that whatever people
let go of during Reiki session, that

723
00:47:32,985 --> 00:47:35,435
doesn't stay on me or in my space.

724
00:47:36,085 --> 00:47:36,105
So

725
00:47:40,285 --> 00:47:43,075
that is a really great point.

726
00:47:43,285 --> 00:47:50,205
to remember is that if you have a space
that is your business space or it is just

727
00:47:50,205 --> 00:47:52,975
a space where a lot of people are coming
in and out and you want to make sure

728
00:47:52,975 --> 00:47:57,805
that your space remains clean of anything
that the people are leaving behind,

729
00:47:57,885 --> 00:47:59,885
you can cleanse that space as well.

730
00:48:00,885 --> 00:48:02,535
And there's a lot of
different ways to do this.

731
00:48:03,885 --> 00:48:05,345
So we've talked about some of them today.

732
00:48:06,805 --> 00:48:11,005
What I hope that you will understand
about this discussion today.

733
00:48:11,155 --> 00:48:15,135
about cleansing spaces and haunted houses
is that no matter what's going on in

734
00:48:15,135 --> 00:48:20,815
your home, whether you feel that it's
haunted, that there are spirits or ghosts

735
00:48:20,825 --> 00:48:24,265
that are haunting your space, or you
just feel like there's a real heaviness

736
00:48:24,285 --> 00:48:29,595
going on, you can't quite pinpoint what
it is, or you feel like you're waking

737
00:48:29,595 --> 00:48:34,605
up in the middle of the night a lot
and you feel like it's not coming from

738
00:48:34,605 --> 00:48:38,375
you, but there is just something that
keeps waking you up and bothering you.

739
00:48:39,185 --> 00:48:41,975
There are a lot of really, really
healthy practices that can keep you

740
00:48:41,975 --> 00:48:49,715
safe from any entities or any energies
or spirits that might be affecting you.

741
00:48:51,115 --> 00:48:56,375
that the living, those of us with
the living energy, the force that's

742
00:48:56,375 --> 00:49:03,465
inside of us that creates our aura
that makes us alive, that is a

743
00:49:03,475 --> 00:49:06,725
really powerful, powerful energy.

744
00:49:07,475 --> 00:49:11,385
And that most of the time it's
more powerful than whatever

745
00:49:11,425 --> 00:49:15,475
energy is that's trying to
bother you or inhabit your space.

746
00:49:16,545 --> 00:49:21,095
So even just creating a ritual
or an intention, something that

747
00:49:22,215 --> 00:49:25,215
banishes, wards and protects you

748
00:49:28,285 --> 00:49:29,445
is really effective.

749
00:49:30,845 --> 00:49:33,867
Even when I started to become
aware of the times when I...

750
00:49:33,867 --> 00:49:34,163
Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [49:10.009]

751
00:49:34,205 --> 00:49:36,555
been woken up in the middle of
the night and I feel like there

752
00:49:36,555 --> 00:49:40,415
is someone who's actually trying
to bother me or get my attention.

753
00:49:40,945 --> 00:49:42,995
It's usually not harmful.

754
00:49:43,075 --> 00:49:46,265
I've never had anything that
was really actively trying

755
00:49:46,285 --> 00:49:48,715
to harm me, scare me maybe.

756
00:49:49,305 --> 00:49:55,535
I've had a couple of instances where the
images that are coming into my view during

757
00:49:55,535 --> 00:49:57,685
those moments have been pretty scary.

758
00:49:58,685 --> 00:50:02,785
But as soon as I started to
realize that I had the power to

759
00:50:03,295 --> 00:50:09,745
that to banish it or to excuse
it from my space and that when I

760
00:50:09,755 --> 00:50:12,335
did that it actually did leave.

761
00:50:14,065 --> 00:50:19,075
That's when I knew that if we all
know this about ourselves, if we

762
00:50:19,105 --> 00:50:23,505
are able to understand our own
power, we never need to be afraid.

763
00:50:23,945 --> 00:50:27,785
There never needs to be a reason
for us to be scared of our home

764
00:50:27,785 --> 00:50:30,775
being haunted because when we speak

765
00:50:31,995 --> 00:50:38,995
and step into a space of
empowerment, we can do the work of

766
00:50:39,755 --> 00:50:41,435
banishing or excusing or warding

767
00:50:43,965 --> 00:50:46,785
and protecting that space
and saying, you can go.

768
00:50:48,875 --> 00:50:52,825
And one more thing to remember is
that if there is an entity that was

769
00:50:52,875 --> 00:50:59,025
a spirit who is probably alive at
some point and is now kind of hanging

770
00:50:59,025 --> 00:51:04,025
around, it's not usually the space
that they're hanging around, it's you.

771
00:51:06,285 --> 00:51:08,835
They're trying to feed
off of your life energy.

772
00:51:08,875 --> 00:51:14,755
They're trying to, and in most cases,
and this is something that I didn't

773
00:51:14,765 --> 00:51:17,125
realize at first, but now I do.

774
00:51:17,655 --> 00:51:23,055
In most cases, when someone has an
entity influencing them, they might

775
00:51:23,055 --> 00:51:25,535
start to feel like they just feel off.

776
00:51:25,695 --> 00:51:26,965
They don't feel like themselves.

777
00:51:27,205 --> 00:51:30,515
They don't feel like when they look in the
mirror, they don't recognize themselves.

778
00:51:31,425 --> 00:51:34,685
We can pick up these energies
anytime, anywhere, any place.

779
00:51:36,075 --> 00:51:38,105
And then they are just
sort of following us.

780
00:51:38,125 --> 00:51:39,325
They're just sort of part of us.

781
00:51:39,395 --> 00:51:46,535
And when that happens, it's not usually
the entity or the spirit that wants to

Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [51:22.535]

783
00:51:46,550 --> 00:51:47,345
harm us.

784
00:51:47,985 --> 00:51:51,515
It's usually because they
think they can help us.

785
00:51:53,355 --> 00:51:54,615
And I'll give you an example.

786
00:51:55,885 --> 00:51:58,735
I know somebody who was really,
really struggling with addiction

787
00:51:59,185 --> 00:52:04,725
and they were just really going
through a very difficult time.

788
00:52:05,785 --> 00:52:10,135
Their children were having to go
live with their mother because

789
00:52:10,145 --> 00:52:13,445
they were just struggling a lot.

790
00:52:14,985 --> 00:52:16,995
trying to figure out life.

791
00:52:18,815 --> 00:52:21,673
Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [51:58.096]

792
00:52:22,305 --> 00:52:30,215
This person found out through, again,
a Reiki master that they had an entity,

793
00:52:31,795 --> 00:52:39,845
a spirit of a large, burly type of
man who also struggled with addiction

794
00:52:39,865 --> 00:52:42,215
in his lifetime when he was alive.

795
00:52:43,275 --> 00:52:47,415
And he attached himself to her
because he saw those similarities.

796
00:52:47,415 --> 00:52:51,725
He saw or resonated or vibrated with her.

797
00:52:52,115 --> 00:52:54,155
in that sort of addiction space.

798
00:52:54,955 --> 00:52:59,575
And instead of moving towards the
light and moving on like he, as a

799
00:52:59,575 --> 00:53:03,655
spirit, should be able to do, he
felt like he needed to be around

800
00:53:03,715 --> 00:53:08,365
her because she was struggling with
addiction and he thought he could help.

801
00:53:09,665 --> 00:53:14,055
What was actually happening was that his
own energy of struggling with addiction

802
00:53:14,055 --> 00:53:19,905
was just hanging around her, attaching
to her, and it wasn't helping her.

803
00:53:19,965 --> 00:53:20,455
It was

804
00:53:20,575 --> 00:53:23,565
causing her to stay in that
state of mind, in that state of

805
00:53:23,585 --> 00:53:25,435
energy, in that vibration, right?

806
00:53:26,165 --> 00:53:33,235
So when she went to a Reiki master to
cleanse and to let go and to send that

807
00:53:34,275 --> 00:53:37,775
person through the light, to move on.

808
00:53:39,905 --> 00:53:45,805
she began to start to heal, to
figure herself out and to move

809
00:53:45,805 --> 00:53:50,205
into a space that was energetically
ready for recovery from addiction.

810
00:53:52,425 --> 00:53:55,275
That's an example of how
that can sometimes happen.

811
00:53:55,285 --> 00:53:59,075
So if you ever feel like, I don't know
what's going on, but I do feel like

812
00:53:59,075 --> 00:54:04,125
something's just not right, or I feel
just kind of like I'm being affected

813
00:54:04,135 --> 00:54:09,315
by energies that are not necessarily
my own, I would highly recommend a

814
00:54:09,315 --> 00:54:11,525
Reiki session to help cleanse that.

815
00:54:11,555 --> 00:54:14,625
There are Reiki masters
wherever you are, I promise.

816
00:54:14,655 --> 00:54:18,785
Wherever you're listening, you will be
able to find somebody who can help you.

817
00:54:19,065 --> 00:54:22,215
And I absolutely believe
that if you set it out,

818
00:54:22,215 --> 00:54:22,338
Ride The Wave Media
Podcast Network [53:58.125]

819
00:54:22,355 --> 00:54:27,385
the intention of looking for someone who
is just the right person for you, you will

820
00:54:27,395 --> 00:54:30,425
find the person capable of helping you.

821
00:54:31,155 --> 00:54:37,845
If you live locally here in Daybreak,
you can come to my practice locally.

822
00:54:37,975 --> 00:54:41,515
However, here is the
best part about Reiki.

823
00:54:41,515 --> 00:54:46,645
One of my favorite things about
Reiki, it can be done at a distance.

824
00:54:46,765 --> 00:54:49,385
It can be done over technology.

825
00:54:50,835 --> 00:54:51,495
I

826
00:54:51,595 --> 00:54:58,655
have done Reiki sessions with people,
and I have even done home cleansings

827
00:54:58,705 --> 00:55:02,505
with people who do not live near
me, who live across the country.

828
00:55:03,345 --> 00:55:04,775
And there are ways to do this.

829
00:55:05,405 --> 00:55:11,205
So I highly recommend you can
get ahold of me, find me on my

830
00:55:11,205 --> 00:55:16,365
website, message me, whatever you
need to do to get in touch with me.

831
00:55:16,405 --> 00:55:20,165
And if you are having
issues with your home,

832
00:55:20,475 --> 00:55:23,965
your space or yourself,
your own body and space.

833
00:55:24,995 --> 00:55:29,495
I highly recommend entertaining
the idea of a Reiki session.

834
00:55:30,695 --> 00:55:33,265
So how to find me?

835
00:55:33,295 --> 00:55:37,505
Well, I am on Instagram at
prism underscore healing.

836
00:55:39,275 --> 00:55:41,035
Prism underscore healing.

837
00:55:42,235 --> 00:55:47,275
I am at my website is at
prism dash healing dot com.

838
00:55:47,805 --> 00:55:51,765
I will have a blog post with some
resources from this episode on my

839
00:55:51,765 --> 00:55:53,895
website so you can go find me there.

840
00:55:54,225 --> 00:55:58,005
You can also see all of the services
that I provide, which is card

841
00:55:58,005 --> 00:56:04,125
readings or you won't see home
cleansing on my list of services.

842
00:56:04,125 --> 00:56:06,885
However, that would be
under Reiki sessions.

843
00:56:06,975 --> 00:56:11,295
So if you want to find my Reiki
sessions available on my website,

844
00:56:11,295 --> 00:56:14,545
look under my services and you can
see all of the things that I offer.

845
00:56:15,085 --> 00:56:16,715
You can also find me on Facebook.

And I can post those on TikTok
and my Instagram as well.

So that can be helpful for people
who are looking for just a few things

854
00:56:44,545 --> 00:56:47,925
that will help you if you feel like
your space needs cleansing, if you

855
00:56:47,935 --> 00:56:52,545
need a home exorcism, for example.

856
00:56:53,925 --> 00:56:57,955
