This question was asked as a reply to my “Psychic Boost” blog article, but I’m answering it in it’s own section because I’m asking for others to please respond with ideas or things they know will work as well.
A haunting can be a very serious issue, but more times than not, it’s simply a lost spirit being naughty. There are several things you can do, but I will first say that anyone talking of ending their life needs to seek immediate professional care. Having someone to talk to – a priest, doctor, psychiatrist, anyone – can be a big help and is highly recommended.
As for getting rid of an unwanted ghost, you make it leave …
First and foremost, you tell the ghost to leave … tell it that it’s not welcome in your home and needs to leave. Do not speak of the ghost in your home; don’t give it any attention what so ever because that’s what it wants. If you feel like the ghost isn’t leaving on it’s own, call on Archangel Michael for help. I would do this anyway, actually. Michael escorts souls to the other side, and it sounds like your ghost may need a firm escort.
Secondly, cleanse the home and everyone involved – physically and spiritually. This means the house and those living in it need to physically cleanse the house from top to bottom. Open your windows to let in fresh energy and air, and clean out all the clutter and dust bunnies that don’t need to be there. Next, clean everything spiritually and energetically. Each individual person needs to be cleansed, with sage or white light (or both), and the house itself needs to be cleansed. I wrote a little about cleansing people in my article on “Bridging the Veil”.
For cleansing your house, I would use the sage starting at the bottom floor of the home – basement if you have one. Start at the door (main entry point) and work your way to the right (clockwise). You can choose to say a chant, but it’s not necessary. I might say something like … “Divine light, make this right. Release the darkness, transmute to light.” You can make up whatever speaks to you. It doesn’t need to rhyme or have any special rules. If it means something to you, it will be more powerful. If you choose to use white light to cleanse your home, a very simple method is the sit in the main floor of your home as close to the centermost point as you can and imagine a giant sifter made of white light cleansing the energy of the home from bottom to top. Close your eyes and imagine the sifter scooping up any heavy or grayish energy, leaving only light energy behind. As the sifter extends past the roof, the energies it caught are transmuted into white light that’s then sucked up by the universe. Repeat this action until you feel the energy of the house is where you want it.
It is very important that you understand what draws these types of energies and why they stay so that you can make your self and environment an uninviting place for them. Where this spirit came from is just about irrelevant at this point, but something attracted it to your home. Earth bound or stuck energies are drawn to people and places with darker lower energy levels that match their own. If the people and/or places the spirit are attached to raise their own energy levels, the spirit will likely not want to be attached to them anymore. It’s like forcing someone with sensitive eyes from a dark place into a too bright room. They don’t like it and want to crawl back in to where they feel more comfortable. Make yourselves and your home bright places. Cleanse … use the sage at least once a week or maybe even every day if you can. I’m not a big fan of church myself, but going to church can also make the spirit uncomfortable. Drinking, smoking, reckless behavior, illegal activities are all examples of what might attract a spirit like this. Being outside in nature, helping others, meditation, exercise, prayer and other things that make you feel good will also make your soul feel good and shine brighter. Naughty spirits don’t like this. A bright soul is one they can’t control very easily. They like it when a person has low self-esteem and is in a dark place themselves, so don’t let them like your family or your home. Brighten it up!

That’s great advice, Samantha. Thank you for sharing. It’s interesting to hear another psychic talk about the whole “respect” issue. I had to get pretty tough with my rules at one point. When my office was downstairs in my basement, I found I was always getting unexpected visitors that just couldn’t seem to wait for an appropriate time. Once I moved my office upstairs, I used it more often, and those energies needing help became more patient and respectful. I also asked for two additional guardian angels to act as “bouncers” … same idea as a night club I guess, but it has worked wonderfully!
I also learned to stop what I’m doing & either state out loud or think loudly the words “Cancel” or “Delete” when negative thoughts, such as hurting myself or doing something bad enter my mind. I saw it over & over if needed, but then go on with what I’m doing and ignore whatever it was that bothered me. Giving any more attention than that only gives it energy, and that’s not what we should be doing. I also know that this is not me, I don’t want to hurt others or myself, so I don’t feel guilty or get on myself for these thoughts, that would be counterproductive. Another thing that I’ve discovered is that negativity that comes through, such as thoughts, can be from past lives and cellular memory. I’ve come up with a way that really works for me, too, in situations such as this. I simply shake off the enegy, as if it’s a magnet thats’ stuck to me & I physically shake it off. Then I immediately put a wall up around me, that this energy or whatever it ,may be, cannot penetrate. When someone is going through a trying time like this, it can create a paranoia for others involved and can also stir up past lives memories for them too. It’s important to keep your perspective clear & full of light and do things to bring you back to the earthly plane, or reality( so to speak), such as turning on lights, listening to the radio when falling asleep and so on. I know that people often don’t suggest watching tv when going to sleep, however, at times when I’ve had spirits in my room that won’t depart when asked and I’ve asked for help escorting them out & it still doesn’t work, or even if it does by my mind still wanders back to them as I lay there trying to sleep, turning on something physcial/of the human realm, such as a tv, brings me back to a level that helps me relax. This helped alot especially in my early days of being a practicing psychic. Sometimes there are people that need my help & visiting me when I go to bed is the only time they can seem to get my attention. I always politely ask them to return at a time when I’m available & ready to help and also ask for the angels & guides to help guide the loved one that they’re trying to reach(if there is one) to connect with me. I also state that my bedroom is for me & my husband only. That this is my time to relax and get much needed rest & that everyone, those alive & those that are not, must respect this. I will not stand for this other-wise. You respect me, I respect you. (Well I respect others anyway, but you get the idea)
