5 Falsehoods About Spirituality and Money

Share Button

Abuse of financial power, such as manipulating, exploiting, or making false promises with the carrot and stick trick will downgrade your spirituality and earn you some tough future life karma. Most people who have studied the concept of karma and reincarnation understand this, even if they don’t always live it.

Our empirical research involving karma, reincarnation, fate, money, and spirituality over the past 25 years includes findings that may surprise you because they contrast with widely held “Eastern mysticism” ideals (which are often misinterpretations of authentic ancient ideals, and largely spiritual dogma, in our view). Below we dismantle 5 myths related to money and spirituality.

1. Although you may favor an ascetic lifestyle, giving away all personal property and wealth, it won’t necessarily make you more spiritual. It’s just as likely to cause stress and cloud your spirituality due to a lack of resources and finances than a lifestyle with an overabundance of material things and wealth that could demand too much of your time.

The key is balance, and it’s even possible to be a billionaire and be more spiritually aware and more at peace than a pauper ascetic. Needless self-sacrifice can cause bad karma; put the excessive idealism aside and consider if you have hidden false guilt about wealth.

2. True or false: a multi-millionaire owner of a company will always avoid doing anything that will put his wealth in jeopardy; he will put the prospect of increased wealth over honesty.

The answer is, it depends. There are dishonest operators in every industry, but it’s simply not true that every multi-millionaire is evil and will automatically behave badly if they think they can get away with it. Overall, the rich aren’t any less honest than the poor, and it’s unfair and naive to believe that anyone who “makes it” does so through deception and theft. It’s best to avoid being snowed by class warfare, which pits the poor against those who have more.

3. A preference for living among “the people,” in the middle class is fine, but to label high society as a rotten place to live, as if only the soulless inhabit that realm, displays blatant intolerance and a distorted perspective. There are good and evil people in every class throughout society, and having more resources alone won’t make you a bad person.

4. Despite common claims to the contrary, acquiring money, in itself, can be a spiritual and fulfilling endeavor, particularly if you ultimately help others through that acquisition. There’s nothing wrong with being loaded, as long as you don’t neglect other areas of your life, like your health and family, and your conduct remains honorable.

5. There’s a prevailing notion in the New Age community that condemns business and capitalism, and instead promotes an (impossibly idealistic) alternative model where everyone strives for a “spiritual planet,” “supports one another,” and “economic justice” (i.e allowing government to confiscate private wealth for re-distribution as they see fit) prevails.

Unfortunately, the proponents fail to see that a larger government is the problem, not the solution, and we are already striving to support one another through free enterprise and free-choice charity.

As much as we’d like it to be true, there isn’t and never will be Utopia on Earth and there will always be “good” and “bad” forces on this planet. The law of polarity is frequently overlooked, as is the law of karma (as well as common sense personal responsibility, including taking care of your family).

The best you can do is to help yourself and those around you to be the best they can be. Your role in society may very well be to make a lot of money. Even if you don’t give a lot away, spending it will still help others.

Money is not the root of all evil, and working for free isn’t always practical. You must have a healthy exchange of some sort. The current prevailing economic system (American capitalism, not “crony capitalism” or other unfair practices), while not perfect, is the most freedom-oriented, fair, and practical and allows for such an exchange, and money and spirituality can be wonderful partners if you allow them to be.

Sociopaths: Identifying and Dealing With Them


Share Button

According to Martha Stout, PhD, author of The Sociopath Next Door, about one in 25 individuals is a sociopath.

A sociopath is someone who lacks a sense of moral responsibility. They’re often very charming and will look you in the eye and smile, be your friend, then later when you’re not around, do whatever they can to get what they want or even intentionally hurt you for their own pleasure. They have no conscience.

Traits of a Sociopath

According to Dr. Stout, other characteristics include the following: they look and act like normal people; they never take responsibility for their actions; when confronted with the outcomes of their behavior, they’ll simply deny it and believe their own lies; they see others as “naive” for doing the right thing; they view their friends, family, and partners as possessions, there to serve them; they can instantly recognize someone who is honest, trusting, yet vulnerable and will prey upon them; they appeal for your sympathy; they’re not able to feel any empathy for anyone, they feel bad when they get caught, but it’s not guilt, they feel bad for themselves.

Does that sound like anyone you know?

We can tell you, based on our work with past life regression, that they’re going to have a very rude awakening when they are faced with their life review on the other side.

Where Does Your Conscience Come From?

Do you have a conscience? If yes, you may think about killing your insane and sadistic boss, but you would never follow through. We believe there exists a spiritual angle to this.

Your parents, we hope, taught you right from wrong. Still, many sociopaths had good parents, so this alone isn’t enough to make someone virtuous.

For some, religion has taught them to do the right thing. Perhaps they are “God fearing” or they believe what their spiritual leaders have told them about the consequences of bad behavior. This can be a very positive thing, but potentially harmful regarding behavior that isn’t truly a “sin.”

We believe everyone has guardian angels (or spiritual guides, or whatever you want to call them) and they often encourage you to do the right thing.

Our findings indicate that past life awareness also contributes to your conscience. If you really messed up in past lives, this time you may be extra careful and overcompensate to avoid making the same mistakes, even if you have no conscious memory of your past lives.

What about people who do follow through and commit horrendous acts? Those who, for instance, plan them ahead of time or casually orchestrate them for the heck of it very well may be sociopaths. They may have been born that way, have gradually acquired mental imbalances and, or abuse in their childhood and other experiences may have contributed.

For others, believe it or not, our findings indicate to us that demons or dark energy can encourage destructive behavior. Our experience with Spiritual Detox ™ shows us that although it’s very rare, extreme possession is possible.

How to Deal With Sociopaths

The author of The Sociopath Next Door gives many tips, including the following:

1) Accept that not everyone has a conscience.

2) Suspect excessive flattery.

3) Abstain from interacting with a sociopath. Cut your losses and avoid them.

4) Trust your instincts.

We’ve found that the best way to enhance your intuition is through meditation. Also, handwriting analysis is a proven way to discover red flags.

Everyone is a Prostitute


Share Button

Disclaimer: The following article about prostitution is in no way meant to promote any kind of illegal activity and we recommend always living within the laws of society. This article is simply meant to encourage thought about the issues of sex, money, programming, judgment, unquestioned yet questionable traditions, sexual shame, self-esteem, and resolving personal fears and issues.

It’s said that prostitution is the oldest profession in the world. In our past life regression work, we’ve found that many people have had hundreds of lifetimes. If you perceive enough of your past lives, our findings suggest that eventually you’ll likely find at least one where you were on one side or the other, believe it or not, of a sex-for-money transaction.

Your hidden, subconscious, past life memories will influence how you feel about prostitution in this life. In addition, there is also sexual shame and societal programming that drives home the belief that sex outside of marriage is “bad.”

Condemnation of those who exchange money for sex is rampant.

You would think sex workers all have side jobs as executioners or thieves considering how much hatred and intolerance is directed at them.

Side note: In this article we are referring to adult prostitutes who choose to do this type of work. We in no way support pimps or anyone who forces another human-being to do something against their will. Exploitation of another isn’t what we’re referring to and we agree that the exploiters should be persecuted.

But let’s look at this more closely. A prostitute is normally an adult who provides a service in exchange for money to another consenting adult. There is no victim here, even when the prostitute is an addict or is in some other way damaging themselves (which can happen in any job), unless the client is being scammed (which can also happen in any financial transaction).

They’re both upfront about what they have to offer and they both get what they want. Some of them, especially the higher-level escorts, appear to love the trade and the money, but most of them seem to do it just for the money.

So here’s a question for you: How many times have you done something just for the money?

Did you ever keep a job you didn’t like just for the paycheck?

Have you ever refrained from telling a not-so-nice boss what you really thought and sacrificed your self-esteem in the process?

Did you ever not fire an impossible client because you wanted the money?

Have you ever used or been nice to someone just for what you received in return?

Have you done something that wasn’t “right” or proper in the eyes of society because there was a financial benefit for you?

Have you ever done something you didn’t want to do for the money?

Did you marry someone in part or mostly because they would give you financial security and, or food, lodging, services, etc., in exchange for sex and companionship?

Have you stayed in an unhappy marriage for the financial security?

Did you ever not stand up for what is right because it would have meant less money for you?

Have you ever not spoken your mind to a friend because of what that friend, aside from friendship, provides for you?

Most prostitutes make their living honestly by supplying a demand. They’re direct about how much they charge and what they provide. How many providers of legal goods and services have you encountered who were not honest about exactly what you would get or not get for the price?

Did you answer no to all of the questions above? Congratulations! You’re a saint among sinners. For the rest of us, almost everyone has prostituted themselves at one time or another.

The next time you find yourself judging someone for directly exchanging money for sex and, or looking “like a prostitute,” look in the mirror and ask yourself why it bothers you so much. Perhaps there’s something deeper about yourself, or your past lives, that you could finally embrace that would help you in your spiritual and emotional growth.

Act on These 15 Tips to Get More Out of Life

Share Button

Making the most of your life depends on maximizing your energy, minimizing your stress levels, and maintaining a mental, spiritual and emotional center.

Act on these 15 tips to get more out of life:

1) Supplements. There are many natural supplements that will help improve your health and make you feel better, if they work for and are needed by your particular body type. Some of our favorites include vitamin B-12, apple cider vinegar, omega-3 fish oil, raw virgin coconut oil, green tea extract, and many others.

2) No supplements for 1-7 days. Not all vitamins and supplements will work for all body types, and sometimes you need a break from them. Monitor how you feel while taking an occasional break.

3) More rest. When you can’t make more time for sleep and relaxation, ornithine, melatonin, vitamin B-3 niacinamide, gaba, and other natural sleeping aids can help occasionally, but don’t rely on them every day. Also make your bedroom more conducive to deep sleep by creating a dark, quiet, cool, and comfortable refuge for yourself.

4) Avoid toxic people whenever possible, especially if you’re spiritually sensitive and pick up others’ energy easily. Ground and surround yourself with white Light often for protection.

Your subconscious mind can’t tell the difference between an imagined protective force-field, and a real one, so the practice of mentally creating one is of a greater positive benefit than you might realize.

5) Try a new environment. Take a short or long trip, and notice how you feel in a different space.

6) Try a new activity, such as cooking a new dish or an art project. Give yourself permission to just have fun, like you did as a child, without judging yourself on the outcome.

7) Turn off the TV and start a new book, one you’ve been wanting to read for a while. Getting into a good book can transport you to a different realm, much like meditation.

8) Forgive yourself. You’ve beaten yourself up enough. It’s time to let it go.

9) Forgive someone else. Doing so won’t erase the karma they’ve created for themselves, but it will release you from the self-inflicted pain caused by resentment.

10) Do something nice for someone, with no expectations of anything in return. Acts from the heart can work magic on your outlook on life, thus your spirituality.

11) Volunteer. Helping others will generate a sense of fulfillment and help you be grateful for what you have, and gratitude can be a powerful spiritual tool.

12) Explore your past lives. Using a past life regression MP3 to explore the root cause of something or how you knew someone in the distant past can be an eye-opening and transformational experience.

Likewise, watching a YouTube video about an ancient culture to which you feel drawn (which very well may be because you lived a lifetime there) can also get your spiritual juices flowing.

Our opinion, based on years of empirical research, is that reincarnation does exist, and we’ll continue to believe so until it is proven otherwise. There’s too much empirical evidence to simply write off the theory of reincarnation as fantasy or subconscious metaphor.

13) Listen to new music. Let your mind wander and write down your thoughts.

14) Clear your energy field and ask for help from God or guides of the Light. Picking up negative energies, entities, and lost souls is, unfortunately, too easy. Everyone can benefit from periodic spiritual housecleaning.

15) And of course, meditate. This is by far one of the best ways to reconnect with your higher power and get unstuck, especially if you make time to do it regularly. Think of it as your secret weapon to face the world and all its hassles with more strength, patience, and compassion. 10-20 minutes a day can make a world of difference, most certainly with a meditation audio, such as the ones we offer.

What You Must do if You Feel Spiritually Stuck: 7 Tips

Share Button

If you’re like most people, you rarely have enough minutes in the day to get everything done, let alone relax and reflect. Sooner or later, the stress will catch up with you and you’ll feel scattered, uncomfortable, and tense. You end up feeling spiritually stuck. Spirituality isn’t just about going to a place of worship, mediation, or praying. It’s also about your energy and connection with God, the “source,” or whatever you want to call the higher power and, or if you prefer, your Higher Self. Below we offer tips to help you get into the flow again, which will also help to enhance your intuition and sense of purpose.

1) Alter your diet. In order to feel centered spiritually, you need to treat your body well. When you eat for fuel what works best for your particular body type) most of the time rather than taste or comfort, you’ll feel and look your best. It’s easy to choose unhealthy options when you’re rushed, but it’s worth the extra time needed to plan ahead and make the most of your nutritional intake.

2) Avoid sugar. This is a big one. Sugar may give you a quick energy fix, but it also depletes your body of optimum health and will lead to an energy crash and unstable emotions. In turn, it makes it that much more difficult to maintain your spiritual equilibrium. If you feel the occasional urge to indulge, there are many options besides white, processed sugar and fructose corn syrup, such as raw honey, stevia, and agave. It’s common knowledge among the most respected health experts today that fruit sugar, although perfectly natural, isn’t healthy in excess, so keep the fruit intake at a judicious level too. Purified water or vegetable juice instead of fruit juice is often a better choice.

3) Cut back or avoid booze. Beyond the infrequent cocktail or two, excess drinking will only lead to spiritual cobwebs or worse. Our spiritual detox work (see Spiritual Detox audio on our site) has led us to conclude that some regular and most heavy drinkers have spiritual hitchhikers and sometimes dark energy on board. Call it toxic energy if you want–whatever it is, it’s a significant block to spiritual awareness. Excess alcohol is essentially an invitation to spiritual parasites and toxic energy.

4) Remain drug-free. Some people claim drugs make them feel more spiritual, but what goes up must come down. Most drugs cloud perception and intuition for weeks or even longer. In our opinion, there is zero room for drugs in your life if you want to be your best on all levels.

5) Cut back or avoid caffeine, or at least switch to green tea. Caffeine can help you sail through a busy day, but it can also cause more stress, and wreck havoc on your body from long-term over-indulgence.

6) Get those endorphins firing with exercise. A good workout will get your heart rate up and help you feel more at peace afterward. Interval workouts, which include 90 seconds at a moderate pace, 30 seconds at a very rapid pace, and then repeated up to 9 times for a total of about 20 minutes, is even more beneficial. We could feel a big difference afterward with energy levels and sense of well-being the first time we tried it. Yoga and going for a walk in nature will also bring you back to your center.

7) Sex. Not just routine sex, but good sex. Get creative. Try something new. Since ancient times, sex has been used not just as a release or way to bond with a love interest, but as a way of connecting with a higher source. This is much easier to do once you let go of any guilt or shame you consciously or subconsciously associate with sex.

Remember, even though history is replete with puritanical cultures that encouraged a negative attitude toward sex and caused sexual shame to flourish, safe, honest sex between consenting adults is not only a one of the most fabulous human experiences but can be profoundly spiritual as well.

Avoid Selling Your Soul to Demons


Share Button

Drawing on demonic entities to help you reach your goals indentures yourself to them, and is to be avoided at all costs. Sometimes people don’t even realize they’re doing it, and those who do often don’t understand the consequences until it’s too late.

Once you die, in such an arrangement, you become their slave and must do their bidding, according to Manly P. Hall, author of The Secret Teachings of All Ages.

“First. The visible universe has an invisible counterpart, the higher planes of which are peopled by good and beautiful spirits; the lower planes, dark and foreboding, are the habitation of evil spirits and demons under the leadership of the Fallen Angel and his ten Princes.”

“Second. By means of the secret processes of ceremonial magic it is possible to contact these invisible creatures and gain their help in some human undertaking. Good spirits willingly lend their assistance to any worthy enterprise, but the evil spirits serve only those who live to pervert and destroy.”

“Third. It is possible to make contracts with spirits whereby the magician becomes for a stipulated time the master of an elemental being.”

“Fourth. True black magic is performed with the aid of a demoniacal spirit, who serves the sorcerer for the length of his earthly life, with the understanding that after death the magician shall become the servant of his own demon.”

“For this reason a black magician will go to inconceivable ends to prolong his physical life, since there is nothing for him beyond the grave…a man will barter his eternal soul for temporal power…in its various branches the black art includes nearly all forms of ceremonial magic, necromancy, witchcraft, sorcery, and vampirism…”

“Though the demonism of the Middle Ages seems to have disappeared, there is abundant evidence that in many forms of modern thought–especially the so-called ‘prosperity’ psychology, ‘will-power-building’ metaphysics, and systems of ‘high pressure’ salesmanship…”

For obvious reasons, short-term earthly gain through the help of demonic elementals isn’t worth selling your soul, but we believe it’s entirely safe to strive toward gaining abundance and whatever else you want as long as you don’t hurt anyone or yourself, and you don’t employ demonic energies to assist you.

How to Avoid This Trap

You must be very careful to only ask for help from positive other-dimensional energies, those of the Light. Whenever you’re in need of help, and we believe help is always available to you within your predestined framework, make sure to ask for help from God (or however you refer to the higher power) or “guides, masters, and helpers of the Light.” Our Spiritual Detox audio can help you keep your energy clean, and avoid harmful entities.

Aside from demonic other-dimensional energies, in our view there exist “guides” on the other side that don’t offer absolute truths and wisdom, and many have strong prejudices. Sometimes these entities are simply disincarnated souls who have not yet gone to the Light after their physical body died, so they may not be any wiser than you. There are also troublemaker entities who enjoy causing problems.

Any insight you receive that sounds biased or that feels negative, be wary. Also, a very possible sign of a mischievous, or even dark and harmful other-dimensional spirit is one that claims to be someone famous, such as a deceased celebrity.

So go ahead and ask for assistance with your worthy goals from God or guides and Angels of the Light if you feel you need help. In addition, focusing on being grounded and centered and meditating regularly will give you plenty of valuable guidance from within, without having to ruin your soul through partnering with demonic energies

10 Mystic Tips for Dealing With A-holes


Share Button
You’ve experienced it. Perhaps with a coworker, a neighbor, or even a relative. You try to get along with the bully to keep the peace, but they always manage to get under your skin and you react, sometimes not so nicely.You avoid them as much as possible. But for those times when you have no choice, we offer the suggestions below to help you handle them peacefully and from the perspective of a mystic rather than allowing them to add more stress to your life or worse.

1) Consider why they are difficult: Usually there’s at least one hidden reason. Frequently, very difficult people have endured early life trauma, are currently coping with deep personal challenges and, or have drug and alcohol problems, to name a few possible issues. To make things worse, we believe many such people, during times of duress, are negatively influenced by dark energy–call it demonic possession or influence if you want, or extreme subconscious defenses and fears surfacing–whatever it is, our findings tell us that often times it’s very difficult for some people to see beyond themselves and understand how their actions are negatively influencing those around them.

2) Acceptance: Once you put yourself in their shoes and understand the “why,” it’s easier to have at least a little compassion for them, see them as damaged goods, and not take their actions so personally.

3) Drop expectations: Don’t expect them to treat you well or even reasonably. It’s not your right to control anyone. You can try to help someone become more aware of their behavior and the consequences, but you cannot change them.

4) Retain your dignity: When you react adult-like with a reasonable tone, confidence, and compassion, there will be no reason for anyone to blame you for any disharmony. This may enrage a difficult person who’s intent is to control you or make you lower yourself to their level, but keep your cool and you will come out on top.

5) Think before speaking: It’s better to say nothing than to react without thinking when you’re upset. You can always follow up later with a tactful e-mail after you’ve thought it through.

6) Remain positive: A difficult person loves to target those he or she believes are opposing their views, weak, happy, or whatever else sets them off. But if you avoid letting them drag you into their misery, they can’t help but eventually see the errors of their ways. Let them be and all will be seen in the Light of truth eventually.

7) Limit the alcohol and take steps to moderate excessive stress through good sleep, exercise, and watching your diet. Inner demons come out to play under the influence or when you’re worn down mentally or physically, so watch your step.

8) Be grateful for the opportunity. It may seem odd to be grateful for toxic people, but expressing gratitude will make it much easier to rise above the situation. Also, think of all you gain from difficult people, such as patience, compassion, how not to treat others and excellent negotiating skills.

9) Arm yourself spiritually. Not to battle, but to protect yourself and encourage peace and harmony. Spiritual help is available to you whenever you need it, but you need to ask. We like to call upon Archangels Michael and Sandalphon to stand on either side of us as body guards, but you can utilize God or other angels and guides. Make sure to request that they be “of the Light,” or you could just stir up more trouble.

10) Avoid revenge: We realize it may sometimes seem easier to use an aggressive warrior approach with the jerks of the world, but since you don’t want to create negative karma, you’ll be better off playing the adult role and simply allowing them to act like children. Our findings firmly show karma exists, so even if they don’t get caught, they will get what’s coming to them eventually, most likely in a future life. You don’t want to have to incarnate again with this person, do you?

Avoid the Spiritual Martyr Trap

Share Button
Refusing to capitalize on your abilities (i.e., accepting money for your talents) and sacrificing yourself for nothing in return only generates negative consequences and hinders your spiritual growth.Centuries ago, religious adherents were conditioned to believe that they should never use their “spiritual gifts” for personal gain; in doing so they believed they would be damned to hell forever.

You’re Not Alone if You’ve Fallen For it

Unfortunately, this fear-based, erroneous belief is still alive today. Do you feel guilty for accepting money as compensation for the valuable services you provide? Are you afraid of losing your talents if you gain financially from them? Do you have a subconscious fear (perhaps from past life circumstances) that you will be persecuted by offering your talents in exchange for money?

By the way, our belief is that your spiritual talents are not “gifts,” as nobody gave them to you but yourself through your own efforts by way of many trials and tribulations in past incarnations, and you have every right to honorably apply them toward your earthly gain. As long as you aren’t hurting anyone (or yourself), you are operating justly.

How to Escape From This Trap

Capitalism thrives in the free world, thankfully. If you have talent as, for example, an artist, consultant, supervisor, builder, leader, writer, salesperson, or, yes, even a psychic, you are serving yourself and everyone else perfectly by constructively and efficiently offering it at a price within the economic law of supply and demand. What does this mean? Simply put, it means that if you get paid at the prices you set, they are within the law of supply and demand. If you have more business than you can handle, and you’re burning yourself out, your prices may not be high enough.

Hold your head up high and repeat daily, “I deserve fair compensation in exchange for my valuable services (and, or products), and I’m avoiding the martyr trap.”

Don’t let anyone tell you that you should offer your spiritual talents as a healer or astrologer, for example, for free, or that you are abusing your “gifts.” That’s a nonsensical point of view.

Instead, nurture and further develop your talents with the help of our free e-book, Direct Your Destiny. Direct Your Destiny is packed full of helpful tips and methodologies to help you make the most of your life and overcome hidden personal and spiritual blocks.

Giving of yourself and your professional services or products with no expectation of anything in return, at times, is great, and generates positive karma, yet this does not mean you should dump on yourself with an “all for you, nothing for me” disposition. It’s the sort of belief held by strict ascetics in days of old, thinking that constantly denying themselves sensual gratification and material wealth would bring them closer to God. You can take that road if you choose, but it’s unnecessary.

Putting aside sensual gratification temporarily can help you reach personal goals, but never allowing yourself to experience pleasure or the good things in life will work against you and can be detrimental to your spiritual progress. Strict self denial, such as long-term repression of sexual desire, only generates future complications (e.g., perversion).

Successfully avoiding the martyr trap is not only healthy, but will allow you to live a more purposeful and rewarding life.

Got Ghosts? 7 Steps to Clear Your Space

Share Button

After over 14 years of clearing ghosts from homes and freeing people from the negative hold of disembodied souls we are convinced that ghosts are a lot more common than people realize. Hollywood has demonized (literally) the phenomenon, but don’t be afraid. In reality, most are more of a nuisance than threat, much like a mosquito, if you know what to do.

Simply put, a ghost is the disembodied soul of someone whose body has died. Instead of going to the “Light,” they remain earthbound.

Ghost hunters on TV do a great job of detecting paranormal activity, but they usually don’t send it to where it needs to go to continue its spiritual evolution: the Light.

This final step in ghost busting is often overlooked, but is crucial because if it’s not done the ghost will continue to cause problems for itself and others.

Addictions, attachments to familiar places, sudden and unexpected death, suicide, revenge, and fear of “hell” can cause ghosts to stick around. They may have died in your home, wandered in on their own, or followed you home from hospital, cemetery, or bar, for example.

How do you know when you have a ghost hanging out in your home? Signs include unexplained noises and voices, objects disappearing, electronics turning on and off by themselves, young children seeing people you cannot, lights flickering, unexplained smells or hot or cold spots, feeling like you’re being watched, seeing shadows out of the corner of your eye, pets acting strangely, a sudden urge to overeat, drink, smoke, or do drugs (especially if you cannot attribute the urge to anything in particular), and nightmares.

Fortunately, you can help the ghost and yourself relatively easily with the following steps.

1) Identify the energy. Is it a guide or a ghost? Higher level guides are not abusive or negative. A guide or loved one who has crossed over will pop in to help and you’ll feel uplifted. If your ghost is a loved one who died, realize that it’s better for both of you if they go to the Light.

2) Research the home and area history. Did someone die in the home or area? Is or was there previously a bar, crack house, burial ground, morgue, cemetery or hospital nearby?

3) Sometimes ghosts don’t realize they’re dead or being bothersome. Therefore, firmly yet calmly explain out loud that he or she is dead, this is your home now, and it’s time to move on to the Light (point upwards).

For more stubborn energies, use these next steps. Make sure you are sober and centered during this process or you’ll open yourself up to the risk of possession.

4) Utilize the Light. Spiritually protect yourself by visualizing a bright, white Light. Pretend the sun is shining brightly and, or lightning is striking and filling you and every corner of every room.

5) Burn sage. You can find sage at health food and metaphysical stores and online. Light the sage, hold over an ashtray or plate, then walk clockwise around each room while imagining the space being purified by the smoke.

6) Use step 3 above again and then call in their loved ones from other side to help explain that it’s time to return “home.”

7) If the energy does not want to leave, call in God, guides of the Light, and for tougher cases, archangels Michael and Sandalphon for assistance in guiding the lost soul(s) to the Light. These energies are always willing and able to help, but you must ask.

*Important* Do not simply cast out a ghost from your home because it will wander into another home. Instead, always guide it to the Light. Once there, it won’t return as an earthbound spirit and cause harm to itself or others.

For more challenging cases, utilize the services of a Spiritual Detox™, spirit releasement, or ghost removal expert. Or, use our Spiritual Detox™ MP3 or free Spiritual Detox™ Script. Only use experts who send the unwanted energies to the Light (make sure to ask), have a good track record, and do not charge outrageously high fees (avoid “psychics” who charge $1000s for “spell removal”). The best ghost busters will calmly and firmly communicate with the energy, call in plenty of spiritual assistance and protection, and guide them to the Light.

Kids and Drugs: How to Help Them Avoid Temptation

Share Button

A very concerned mother recently wrote to us because she had discovered that her 17 year-old son was smoking pot. She was worried about addiction and asked us what we would do in her situation to help him realize the spiritual and other consequences of his choices.

Even though we intuitively felt that her son didn’t have a problem, seemingly innocuous experimentation can easily lead to a destructive habit or addiction.

Even with all the efforts by schools and parents to educate young people about the dangers of drugs, most teens will try them anyway. Ordering a teen to never do drugs, of course, will probably only make them want to try them more.

It would greatly benefit teens if their mentors were aware of and explained the spiritual side effects of drug and excessive alcohol use. We believe that when you completely understand the spiritual complications involving drug and alcohol abuse, it’s much easier to say no thanks, every time.

Having seen firsthand the toxic, life-wrecking spiritual side effects of drugs on individuals for years through our work, three years ago, when a party host placed a tray of cocaine in front of Stephen, even though he’d had a few drinks and his guard was down somewhat, it was still easy for him to decline the offer. In fact, because he is so aware of the harsh spiritual consequences of cocaine, the drugs looked about appealing to him as a pile of dog crap.

We strongly suspect that cocaine, crystal meth, and other drugs are favored tools of the dark side, their use encouraged to break down, control, manipulate and destroy people. Even one night of mind- altering substances can make for a hell of a future challenge.

Imagine volunteering to carry around an invisible, 40 pound gargoyle on your back for years. It constantly berates you, skews your judgment, weakens your stamina, makes you paranoid–your life becomes an uphill battle and challenges are drawn out and magnified. And that’s just the beginning of your road-trip into purgatory.

The message is pretty simple: beyond experimentation in high school and college, drug use will only cause major problems. If you want to be the best you can be, there is no room for any drug use or excess alcohol consumption. At first, drugs may seem to enhance creativity, awareness, and fun, but recovering addicts realize it was all a lie.

For every artificial high, there is an equal, devastating low, side-tracking you from your life’s mission.

Afraid your teen won’t believe you? Visit a drug rehabilitation clinic and let them see for themselves what drugs can do to people. Search on Youtube for videos showcasing the dangers of drugs or addiction and watch them with your teen. Then talk about what you witnessed and ask if they know anyone headed in the same perilous direction.

If teenagers could see what we’ve seen, they would recognize that using any drug even one time can block intuition for a long time and attract lost souls and spiritual parasites, which can encourage anger, depression, despair, and denial. Other effects include mistaking the negative thoughts of lost souls and spiritual parasites for yours, suicidal thoughts, a strong desire for more drug use, and worse.

Through our work with Spiritual Detox we have found that most regular drug users, addicts, and heavy drinkers harbor from a few to a whole army of lost souls, many of whom were addicts before they died, and gravitated to a host who would feed their addiction.

An aside, it’s possible to identify potential alcohol and drug problems (addictive personality, etc.) through comprehensive handwriting analysis, and astrology and numerology, which would help parents spot warning signs before a serious problem developed.

Help the teens in your life focus on their long-term goals, and do everything you can to help them realize how drug use could potentially destroy them. If they want an escape from the pressures of being at that tumultuous age, encourage alternatives, such as a simple and regular meditation, which can be just what they need to help them stay on track and reach their full potential.
