How To Cross The Dead
When a home has one or more empaths, intuitives, or psychics in the space, you can bet there are also dead around. It’s just part of the ecosystem. However, it’s not healthy for the living to share space with the dead for any length of time. Though we find comfort in their presence, on a long enough timeline, this living in close proximity will begin to cause health issues in the living and, to be honest, most of the dead found in the home of a sensitive aren’t anyone they knew in life. They’re strangers.
When you look at it that way, why would you allow a stranger into your home just because they’re not alive? If they’re ‘stuck’ here with the living and haven’t moved on, that’s another indication that they’re not evolved in any way that might be useful or appropriate. And, it’s not good for the dead, either. There are other lessons, other places to move on to when we die. Being stuck after death isn’t a good thing.
Clearing your home of the dead and helping them cross should just be a natural part of your normal house cleaning practices. I usually do this for two separate reasons: As a matter of course at least four times a year, solstice and equinox, and when I’ve noticed dead around for some reason.
Anyone can help the dead cross over. And, usually, they’re drawn to those of us who practice this for exactly this reason: Help crossing. It’s not important to hear what they have to say ahead of time; 99% of the time, they’re going to be confused, AND you’re not going to know who their family is in the first place, so anything they have to say really isn’t useful to you or them. They just need help crossing, and those they love who’ve gone before them will be there to answer any questions or address any remaining concerns they might have; not us…the living.
Here’s how it’s done:
Start at your front door. Bow your head and ask help and a blessing from your higher power as you take back your space. As you're standing at your front door, center yourself. Imagine that your feet are reaching deep into the earth, growing roots. When you feel nice and “rooted”, imagine that white light is coming from above you and filling you with this light and protection. When you can clearly picture both the roots and the light, imagine a doorway opening outside your front door. The only thing you can see inside that door is a bright white light. That hole of light opens to the Other Side. Envision that this is only an "out" door; nothing can come in, but everything can go OUT. It's a one-way door.
As you're doing this, keep focused, that you have an audience. You're talking to these people who don't belong in your space. Here's an example of what to say to your audience: "Those of you dead who are here and would like to cross, a door has been opened for you. Go to the light."
Be insistent; MEAN it.
"Go now. You must go now."
You're not asking this of them; you're telling them. It's not their choice, so make that clear in your mind. This is not a request: It's an order.
“Your life has ended and new adventures await. This is my home and my space, and it is only for the living. I am off limits. My children are off limits. My home is off limits. You are leaving now because I am making you leave. It’s time to go. Those you love are waiting on the other side of the door and are anxious to see you again. It’s time.”
You’ll know when they’ve gone. Your home will feel lighter and cleaner, less cluttered. When you feel this change, imagine that you are closing that door. Once you’ve firmly reached that picture in your mind, the door being closed, no light showing through, imagine that the door disappears. Once you envision this completely gone, say a prayer of thanks to your higher power and go about your day. It’s always good to smudge your space (using sage or palo santo) after this as a reclaiming of your space.
A Complete Home Clearing For Issues
By Melissa Chatwell on Friday, March 25, 2016
When you are alone in the house, gather your sage. Put it in something you can hold with one hand and have your other hand free. Get a small container/cup with tap water in it. Start at your front door. Bow your head and ask help from and a blessing from your higher power as you take back your space.
As you're standing at your front door, before you start but after you've centered yourself, imagine a hole of light opening up outside your front door. That that hole of light opens to the Other Side. Envision that this is only an "out" door; nothing can come in, but everything can go out. It's a one-way door. Then, hold the water in both hands and imagine that you are a giant Brita filter, purifying the water and turning it into something that cleans everything. It's now 'holy'.
Light your sage. When you feel completely grounded and centered, you can start. And it's fine to get pissed. You have a home invasion; you wouldn't approach an interloper touching your children in the night with light and love!!!. You'd be pissed!!! So get pissed! You're not just filling your home with light and love. Your taking it back..
Start at the front door and move clockwise. At every window, dip a finger in the water and make the sign of the cross (or a star, either works, depending on your religious leanings) on the window frame at the top center. As you're making the mark, in your mind, you are making it inviolable.
Move through your house, starting at the front door (sage lit), moving along every wall. This will take you through every single room of your home and bring you back to the front door. Make the mark on every door frame and window frame. Open cupboards and blow a bit of smoke into them all. And closets.
You must keep firmly in your mind your anger at them being in your home while you're doing this. As you're doing this, keep focused, that you have an audience. You're talking to these people who don't belong in your space.
As you're walking through the house and talking, here's an example of what to say to your audience: "Those of you dead who are here and would like to cross, a door has been opened for you. Go to the light." Be insistent; mean it. "Go now. You must go now." You're not asking this of them; you're telling them. It's not their choice, so make that clear in your mind. Not a request: It's an order. Repeat that every little bit, or in every room then, "For the malevolent dead present, you will leave now You are not welcome here. My children are off limits. My HOME is off limits. If you have something to say, say it now and only to me. When I extinguish my flame, you are gone. Speak now, because You are leaving because I'm making you leave."
After you've made your circuit through the house and are back at your front door (and take a lighter with you...the sage will go out from time to time, and it's important to keep the smoke going) set the sage aside but don't put it out. Take regular table salt and go back through your house, clockwise and put a few grains on each windowsill. Throw a bit under each bed and then leave it there. When you're back at the front door, Remember to close the door that you opened to the other side. Once you envision it closed and gone, say a prayer of thanks to your higher power and extinguish your sage.
Now, go into each faucet in the house and run some cold water down the drain. As you're doing this, imagine that any residue left from the now gone dead is being washed away.
Then, go on with your day. Again, if you feel that this hasn't taken care of the problem, let me know and I will take care of it for you from here. But I truly believe that the power is in each of us to care for our space. And each of you are equally qualified.
