Cleansing your home of ghosts? Removing ghosts from a property? This post goes over 3 simple ways to get rid of a ghost -
All of us have Spirits around us all the time.
Usually, these Spirits are supportive - they’re our Angels, Spirit Guides and Ancestors.
We can call them in at any time and consciously welcome them into our lives for the greater good of all and for an increased connection to all that is.
Heard walking upstairs? Whispers down the hall? Feel like someone was standing behind you?
Got chills, goosebumps, or a heavy feeling when walking into a room? Did you catch something moving past you out of the corner of your eye?
It’s likely a Spirit that you know, such as a family member, friend, or Spirit Guide. Most of the time - the Spirits in our lives are entirely harmless, and even beneficial.
That said, you have the right to let those in Spirit know when something is happening that is the opposite of what feels comfortable.
You can claim your space, set boundaries and manage the energy in your sacred space.
Those in Spirit are not with a dense body, so they don’t have to follow the standard rules of engagement that those with bodies follow. Many times, your friends, family, and Spirit Guides are just so excited to get your attention - they’re purposefully trying to do so.
There are times, though, when it can feel too intense.
So to settle any spiritual activity in your home, below are a few surefire methods you can take to release all the extra Spiritual Energy in your space -
3 Ways To Set Boundaries With Spirits
1. Talk To Them
Spirits and ghosts will come and go as they please, simply because no one tells them they can’t, because no one notices or because someone does, and it’s the first time they’ve felt noticed in one hundred years.
Human spirit energy is what creates the emotions in our lives about Spirits because often they have feelings we feel.
When no one says, “No, you cannot do this and do not have permission to do this,” some Spirits do.
So you feel something weird or catch something out of the corner of your eye, and you sense you don’t know the person, say out loud or internally:
“All Spirits that do not have positive intent, please leave this space. I only welcome in those Spirits and energies which support my highest and greatest good now.”
If you think a loved one on the other side is contacting you…
Ask for a sign it is them
Request that they visit you at a specific time for confirmation
Make a list of preferred Spirit visitors and ask that your Angels only allow these Spirits to come through
I also like choosing a meeting space - for example, in my daily meditations or in my office. Then when I notice new or unusual energy there, I know I likely have a Spirit Friend present.
2. Energy Clear with Herbs
Using sage smudging to cleanse your space. Saging works by releasing heavy energies into the air, grabbing onto it other lingering particles in the air, dropping it out of the atmosphere. It helps with airborne bacteria too - science backs the principles of saging.
As you release these lower energies, you are raising your energy. As you raise your energy and the energy of the place, your home will become less of an attractant for lower energies in general.
How do you know when you need to sage?
If you recently had a fight in your house, got into a low mood or felt under the weather, saging can help reset the energies in the space.
To begin, set the intention -
“I welcome in only loving and light energy from the Divine, and release any energy that is no longer serving this space.”
Energy clear in a way that feels intuitive to you - walk around the space and allow yourself to be guided to the areas where it is needed most.
Open the windows after it’s complete to release all the energies the sage picked up.
Disclaimer: If you’re travelling and staying in a “no smoking” rental, don’t sage. Instead, use sound clearing - I prefer gentle instrumentals. Take the sound to every room and visualize the sound waves purifying the space.
3. Release Them To The Light
If you think you have an Earthbound Spirit (non-crossed over human) or another negative entity present, you may be right.
Crossing over human Spirits. Sometimes what it takes to clear a space is to help these Spirits over to the light. The steps to cross over a Spirit in this post can help to guide you.
Archangel assistance. For a non-human entity, I suggest calling on Archangel Azrael to assist with this.
Visualize Archangel Azrael coming into the space, taking a minute to breathe in his energy.
Imagine Archangel Azrael moving around your energy field and the space you are in with a large, golden butterfly net. As he moves around your space with this Divine net, he scoops up all negative, toxic or no longer serving you energies and the beings that create them.
Thank Archangel Azrael when you feel the energy shift - it often feels lighter, more positive, when he has completed his removal process.
So to recap, to release a Spirit from your space…
Talk to them and notice the intuitive response you get, which gives you insight into who’s present
Energy clear to remove any residual causes and bring in a higher vibes
Release lingering energies and beings to the light
These steps allow for Spirits supporting your highest light to stay. Most of my clients don’t want all their Spiritual Team gone, because there are benefits to having them present. You may also not want to flat out reject a loving grandmother visiting your newborn baby who wants to still be present at family gatherings.
By following a few of the resources above, you may be able to keep all the good and leave the rest behind.
