Do you ever feel like there’s a Spirit presence in your house? Are there areas of your home that your kids or animals avoid, especially at night?
Sometimes folks in Spirit do hang around the homes of people they aren’t related to. There are several reasons for this, but they’re all related to the desire to communicate with us in the physical world and to fully transition into Spirit and find peace.
Earthbound spirits
Sometimes, when people die, they aren’t able to transition fully into Spirit. This can happen for a variety of reasons:
- They were very attached to this life, especially if they are parents of young children
- They were under the influence of drugs or alcohol when they died
- They were of a generally lower vibration in this life
- They died violently
People get stuck between the earth plane and Spirit world because they don’t realize that they can come back and connect with people here once they have fully transitioned into Spirit. This is due to confusion and fear.
Other spirits
People who have properly transitioned into Spirit can also come to visit, even if they’re not your family. This can happen if they have unfinished business of some kind, or a message they want to get across, but don’t know how to communicate with their loved one directly (or that loved one is in such a state of grief they’re not able to get through).
You’re like a lightbulb
If you’re sensing Spirit in your home, it’s because you have the gift of mediumship to a greater or lesser extent. You are, essentially, a lightbulb, shining brightly. Folks in Spirit are attracted to the light. We’re all trying to move upwards in our vibration whether we know it or not, and people in Spirit are no different.
Spirit comes to your home because they see your light. I imagine it like a bright light above your house, essentially telling people in Spirit: You can be heard here. It’s a beacon.
Dealing with ghosts
Whatever you want to call them, ghosts, earthbound spirits, or just spirits, there are things you can do to deal with them in your house, especially if you find the experience unpleasant.
Learn how to turn off your light
When it comes to being open to communication from Spirit, you have free will. You don’t have to let people in Spirit or earthbound spirits talk to you if you don’t want to hear from them. You can learn how to intentionally open and close yourself to communication from Spirit in my book, Led by Light, how to develop your intuitive mediumship abilities.
Knowing how to close yourself to communication from Spirit doesn’t mean you’re not a medium anymore or won’t ever receive information. It gives you control on receiving communication when and how you want to.
Help them transition into Spirit
If you feel that there’s an earthbound spirit in your home, you can help them transition into Spirit. (More on how to do this in a future blog post.) Essentially, you send them love.
Do you remember the TV series, Ghost Whisperer? It’s a lot like that, although without the visual effects. The light of Spirit doesn’t visibly shine down into your living room but, on an energetic level, that’s what happens.
Cleanse your home
You can also cleanse the energy in your home and raise its vibration while protecting your space and claiming it as your own.
Get a smudge stick and go around your home (with it lit), going into each corner of each room, saying a blessing or prayer asking for your home to be protected and filled with light energy.
You can also ring chimes, such as Tibetan chimes, bells or play a crystal bowl, to raise the vibration in each room. If you don’t have chimes or bells, you can use an audio recording.
Ask them to leave
It’s your home, you decide who lives there and hangs out in it. Do you let people you don’t like come over and hang out and bother you? Hopefully not. You get to do the same with the energy in your home.
Set your boundaries. Ask for your highest good and only that. You have more power than you realize.
Ask for help
If it feels like the above methods just aren’t quite working for you, call on your Spirit guides for help. You can also call on a professional medium or intuitive for help. I occasionally perform home cleansings and help people fully transition into Spirit when they’re stuck in people’s’ homes. Due to the individual nature of such home visits, you’ll need to get in touch with me directly (rather than book a session through my website).
Here’s the most important takeaway: even if there’s an energy around your home that feels negative or uncomfortable, know that that being wants to be at peace and is simply trying to get there in the way that they know how. They’re trying to get your attention. And you’re ultimately in control of your experience.
