Saturday, I treated two of my daughters to keratin treatments. They have long hair so it took around 2 hours for each one. I dreamed about flat ironing and blow drying the whole night. The results look good, but their hair will look even better when they wash it out tonight. They had to wait 72 hours to do so for maximum effect. We had a great “girl time.” I spoiled them with Mimosas and, for Kristina, Bellinis. I thought a Bellini was just peaches and champagne, so I just dumped part of the contents of a peaches fruit cup into the champagne and handed it to her. She couldn’t stop laughing. Apparently, you’re supposed to blend it in a blender. My bad. It was worth a snapchat to her, and she even added it to her “story,” whatever that is. Anyway, one champagne glass didn’t make it. My flailing, blow drying arms knocked it off the counter, and it shattered on the floor. Oh well. Collateral damage. It’s still cheaper than if we had done the treatments in a salon. 

Just a reminder to all of you who have read Erik’s wonderful new book. Please, please please write a review and copy and paste it in these links:  Amazon  B&N Goodreads  

Quick announcement: Tomorrow, I’ll be on Conversations with Suzanna live at 12:00 PM CT. It was supposed to be on the 16th, but a guest cancelled, so she asked me to move it up. We’ll talk about the new book, mostly. Apparently, she’s been reading it and enjoying it immensely. Way to go, Erik! Please join me HERE to listen in.

Now for the last part of our  negative energies series!

Me: Aren’t there things like smudging with sage?

Erik: Yes, you can smudge with sage.

Me: Which means just lighting sage on fire and it smokes, and you set off all your smoke detectors!

Erik: It shouldn’t set off your smoke detectors.

Me: Oh, okay.

I was just kidding, but…

Erik: You start at your front door—

(Pause)

Jamie: He’s trying to pass the buck off on me, and I said, ‘No, no. You describe how it’s done.’

Erik: Start at the front door, go up the stairs, go clockwise on the top floor, clockwise on the other floor, then if you have a basement, go clockwise there and bring it up. Then do the ground floor and push it out the back door and off your property. Just have some kind of rhythm and concept of where you’re collecting it and how you’re going to recycle it, how you’re going to keep it off your property—

Me: Put it in your neighbor’s yard!

Jamie laughs.

Erik: Give it to the Earth. She’s a good recycler. Then make some kind of statement that spirits aren’t allowed to come in unless they’re invited. They can’t piggyback on anybody coming through the doors. They can’t just sneak in.

Me: Will they do that? If you say, “Hey, I don’t want you here. Get out,” will they mind?

Erik: They don’t mind, but they’re going to listen because words also create an energetic vibration. They create a filter. In the human world, words don’t do that because we’re not that sensitive. We yell and we say, “I don’t want you here anymore!” To us these are just words, and we stand there and go, “Fuck you. I’m staying. You going to make me leave?” In our world, energy is more flexible and malleable, so if you make a statement, and you absolutely believe in it, then that’s what will occur.

Me: Okay. I had a blog member that was so scared at night because she felt there was some demon in her room. We can, of course, say, “Get the Hell out,” but is there some way we can protect ourselves with like a golden bubble or any other visual?

Erik: You can clean the house like we talked about, and then you can protect your own energy.

Me: But right at the moment when she’s really scared.

Erik: Wait a second. I thought hiding under the sheets was the thing to do.

Me (laughing): I know! They can’t get through sheets, can they? You know I had this thing about vampire movies when I was a little kid so now I have to have my sheet all up around my neck. Those fangs can’t going through that little 300-thread count cotton sheet!

Jamie (laughing): That is awesome.

Erik: They go through sheets.

Figured.

Erik: The bubble of white light is great. Knowing that you have the right to demand that they leave, that you understand that you’re more powerful than them—because as soon as you started to have fear, fear pokes holes in your energy. That’s a good visual to have. It makes your energy wishy-washy, and it gets manipulated easier. Then they gain power because you’re afraid. You have to calm your heart rate, get in control of yourself, know that you’re powerful, protect yourself with white light. It’s not about harming what’s scaring you. Actually, it might be a loved one, but your first interaction like this, you’re so fucking scared, you don’t know what to do so you immediately think, “That’s something bad, man. It’s something bad.”

Me: Yeah.

Erik: So when you’re doing this, it’s not about causing harm or judging the situation. It’s about protecting yourself and demanding that they get away from you because they’re not abiding by your boundaries or set of rules that create comfort for you.

Me: So set your boundaries. What about poltergeists? Is there something special about them? What are those?

Erik: The ghosts that haunt?

Me: Are they the ones that create all sorts of trouble like opening up cabinets and making the dishes fly out or weird stuff like that?

Erik: The ghosts that haunt.

Me: They’re just ghosts that hang around the house?

(Pause)

Me: Without paying rent!

Jamie: Without paying rent and destroying stuff.

Me: Right. Right.

Erik: A lot of times this is just fun.

Me: Wee! Okay, so they just want to have fun.

Erik: Sometimes, it’s out of confusion. If they’re back in their house but shit’s all rearranged when someone new lives in it, they’re like, “What the fuck is this trash doing here?” So they’re doing that. Other times, they’re doing it to spook, to scare to get the other people to leave so they can have the place on their own.

Me: Okay. What about bad aliens? Do they come haunt us and do the same things that demons and—

Erik: So, aliens have bodies. They’re not really seen as spirit. They can cross dimensional planes while we have to rely on being dead to do. They can do that in their bodies. So they’re not really “haunting” us. They’re just showing up in our dimensional plane.

Me: Okay. Pretty creepy. I just say Area 51, that movie. It was so scary! I get scared easily though. So is there anybody in the spiritual realm who helps protect us little, innocent, vulnerable earthlings?

Erik: From being haunted and crap like that?

Me: Yeah, or is it just on us?

Erik: It’s more or less up to you. We can help to some extent. We can strengthen the energy that you create or the boundaries and words that we create, but we’re not crossing dimensional planes to fight your battles.

Me: Okay.

Erik: It’s you that’s responsible. We don’t have a cops and robbers kind of thing set up over here and go in with, “Hey, hey, now! Break it up!”

Jamie and I laugh.

Me: One more question. Demons, they’re the same as these negative entities, right? A demon is not something special?

Erik: No, but humans often see demons as shaped differently and having different visual features: animal-like, with claws, rotten smells, things of that nature, and they do that in a way to draw out more fear.

Me: Okay.

Erik: We do that because when we’re in spirit, Mom, we can present ourselves however the fuck we want. We can look like a baby kitten to you. I wouldn’t be a baby kitten, physically. I would still be Erik, but I could appear to be a baby kitten. So if I’m trying to really fuck with someone, I can look at what they’re afraid of, and I can present that. If over the years I’ve been haunting this house, they make up all these stories and I’m hearing them, I’m like, “Oh shit, I was good. Yeah. I got fiery eyes and all this crap.” We feed off of all fear.

Me: You get stronger with negative energy, right?

Erik: Their energy feeds off that fear and those stories. So we grow into that image to create more fear for that person.

Me: Okay. I would think that if somebody’s depressed or having these negative emotions that just going to a life coach or therapist would help because it’d be a good way of getting rid of some of these negative energies. And that’s all I have to say about this particular subject.

Erik (in an echoing voice): Out, out, out, out.

Me: Out, out, out, out?

Erik: We’re out of here.

Don’t forget to write a review! It doesn’t have to be long, and it really, really helps! Have a great Tuesday, guys!
