I need some assisitance with bad spirits.  I moved into a newer house (built in 1999).  The history is not pleasant, there has been proof of child moslestation, lies and deceit, from the previous owners.  I can feel that the unfinished basement  holds some especially nasty hot spots.  I am in the process of knocking down unfinished walls, and starting fresh.  I need some help in spiritually cleansing the basement, and chasing some really bad stuff out, and need to claim this as MY house.  I also found that in the process, when initially spiritually cleansing, I came down with actually physical problems.  My back has been affected.  And no, I did not strain myself.  This came on suddenly, for no reason.  My lower back  is really painful.  I would like some help, both with the house and with my back.  I would apprecialte any help from someone more skilled in this, than I am at this time .  Can anyone help...please?  Thank you, Thank you!

Sounds like you may be dealing with some negative residual energies.  They aren't actual evil entities, it's just that the energy or emotion generated originally was so intense it actually gets absorbed into the physical structure of the building.   I find smudging with sage is very effective in cleaning spaces.  Sometimes I also use a bell, ringing it in every room, especially corners and little dark places where negative energy can hide.  Also lemon or lavender aromatherapy can work wonders after the smudging.  I leave a window open in the front and back of my house when I cleanse so I can visualize the bad energy actually flying out the windows. Fresh air and sunlight also help dispell negative energy as of course does your mind set when you do your cleansing.  Be sure to clean when you are energized and feeling emotionally strong and calm, and don't be afraid to get forceful - stomp your feet, yell, drive that nasty stuff out with your power!  As for your back, I love soaking in a warm tub with some Epsom salts thrown in.  (Mine have a little rose essential oil added - love the scent!) The salts will help physically to remove toxins from your skin and soothe your aching muscles, psycically the salts will cleanse your aura from any icky residues you may have picked up from your environment.  Hope I have been some help,  Good luck!  May your home become the comfortable haven you wish it to be!

When Ben first moved in here he had really creepy stuff happen but his best friend drove out the entities and cast a circle to keep out the nasties.  Didn't do much to keep away the railroad guy but he wasn't a malevolent spirit and has not been back.

Ben has been weakened greatly by stress in the past few years and feels that this has weakened the defenses in the house.  And he has let friends stay with him who were down on their luck and attracted bad things or brought them with them, but those are gone now.  Every once in a while I'll get a chill down my back that tells me something is up.  At those times I go with rain water with sea salt or incense to raise the vibrations.  Often I use both.

Just mix some salt and water.  Regular salt and tap water will work if you can't get rainwater and sea salt. And then sprinkle it around your house.  Just a few drops in all the corners, it doesn't take a lot.  I prefer to sprinkle salt water by carrying the container around or pouring a spoonful in my cupped hand then dipping my fingertips in the water and flicking the drops in areas I feel need a boost.

And you can shield yourself every night before sleep by imagining light radiating from your core and forming a shield of energy all around you that no negative entities can get through.and I mean all around you. Imagine this light penetrating your mattress and encompassing the area below you as well.  Affirm out loud that nothing can enter your space unless you invite it, if you wish.  Hold this image as long as you need to feel safe and repeat your affirmation as often as it takes to feel at ease.  The shield will protect you while you sleep until morning.

I use to do this all the time when I was in my teens.  I grew up in an abusive home and the men my mother loved brought all sorts of horrible things with them.  I never had any problems while I slept even after the negative things descended on the house full force.  I use to invite angels to be near me and any spirit guides who came to help me but no nasties ever got close.

Also do not overlook crystals.  I myself like amethyst and pure quartz but what ever crystals or stones you like can help raise energy levels and dispel the negativity.  Place them all around your home in areas that need attention.  Or wear one as jewelry or carry one in your pocket.  But remember to clean them regularly.  

Some people soak them over night in salt water or plain water.  I prefer to rinse mine in cold running water then pass them through the smoke of incense a few times before placing them in a sunny window to recharge.  Keep in mind that some minerals don't like water and some don't go well with salt and always let wet crystals air dry.  

I might think of more later but thats all the advice I can think of now.  I hope something I mentioned helps.  Remember though the best way to get rid of negativity is to be positive.  And don't be afraid.  Fear and negativity lower the vibrations and can even attract ugly spirits to places where there were no spirits before.

Thank you Acasia and indigo for your advice!  Sorry not to have responded sooner.  I have taken both your advice.  It is a much better place now........even my hound Coco-B goes down to the basement to snooze.  She wouldn't go down before this.  I thank you both for your help.  Blessings to you!  And indigo, I don't know the young girls that were abused in this house.  I only hope that they can carry on with some sort of normal lives and a positive outlook to the future.  I sometimes wish that I could give them some comfort, but I do not know who or where they are.  But I suppose we can all try to pass on some Blessings to them, to help them be comforted in their journey in life.

Thank you again!
