“Throughout my years of practice and my travels I have learned many different ways to cleanse but I will tell you right now only of two as examples, very simple and very quick, for cleaning a house and cleaning an individual. Sometimes someone who has bad feelings about us comes to our home, that’s why it’s always a good idea to keep a jar of fresh water somewhere near the door. It absorbs the bad vibrations that people bring with them so always remember to change the water when visitors leave. You will know right away when bad vibrations linger because you will not feel at ease in your house soon afterward. It’s not always something noticeable like a foul odor left in the air, it’s just a feeling. Sometimes you keep getting gooseflesh when passing the place where the person sat. Sometimes you feel all right when you are at work but when you come home you cry all the time or can’t sleep. These are indications that it is the house and not you. Of course, we also know that sometimes when a person has died or grieved terribly in our home that that person’s sorrowful energy may also linger there, and we must get it out if we are to feel peace at home again. Salt, in my opinion, is maravilloso as a cleanser. We may form salt into the shape of a cross beneath our beds, under where we rest our head. You may go as far as spreading salt all along the baseboards of your rooms … turpentine is also good for this, applying it the same way. Incense, like sage, is also a good fumigation. Let us not underestimate garlic and even onion as similar cleansers. It is good to have a string of garlic near the door—it will avert people with bad intentions from coming in! Sprinkling holy water around the rooms is helpful, and you don’t need a priest for this. Don’t forget to give your house a good cleaning with plenty of ammonia! There are many cleaning agents for ridding a house of bad vibrations, but always one must remember to commend herself to God, praying the Apostle’s Creed and always at least one Our Father.
