Can A Ghost Drain Energy?

Hello Bivouaco,

Your ‘happy’ is not lost, its just hiding under a bunch of emotions that lay on us like blankets and need to be uncovered, a layer at a time. Digging through the layers brings up all the memories and feelings (ones we are aware of (conscious) and ones in the back of our minds (subconscious)), and some of them are like knives, having done the ‘knife’ process myself just recently. We survive, we grow, we change .. we have to, we are beings that do this anyway. Choosing to stay in one spot emotionally just makes it all harder, as does having entities around us that are caught in one spot, in time and place (and emotion), as ghosts are.

As Micle advised, the best solution right now is the Michael Invocation. It gives your guardian angel permission to put his hand on Eric’s shoulder and guide him into a healing place. If you have not made this request already, do it now. And then use the Invocation, the instructions are on the webpage, to clear both your home (the whole building if you live in an apartment) and Eric’s mother’s home, because if he was haunting you, he was probably haunting her as well.

Yes ghosts take energy. Some do it on purpose, because they know they can, and others do it because it is like food for us, they need it to remain on this plane of existence. Most don’t mean any harm, but they do do harm, and really should be in heaven letting go of all the pain from their past, so that everyone can move on, not just them.

The “writing things down and burning them” is a really good idea. Start on the top of page one and keep writing until you run out of words. But what you are not supposed to do is read it through again, edit anything, change words, add full stops, or wonder if you forgot something. None of that matters. Just dump the words on the paper .. then screw the papers up and take them and burn them somewhere safe. Dump the energy with the words, don’t draw it back into yourself by reading it again. And yes, you have to do it over and over, particularly when its hard to let go. Eventually you’ll find there’s less to write, or you’ll go into the next stage of grieving, which is to get angry .. a healthy angry, not destructive ..

While you might not be able to walk far, can you swim? Is there water therapy available around you. That can be even more effective, while supporting your body. And then there’s the diet, which might not be helped by the medication necessary to help balance your emotions .. but persist. A little at a time. Put a towel over the mirror and have a shower every day. Set a clock to do it at the same time, first thing in the morning, or last thing at night – whichever suits you best. Do it because your body is your haven, whatever shape it is, regardless of how it is responding or what it looks like. I speak from experience, we are what we are, what we make ourselves, and unmake .. when we diet. Eating may be comfort for a moment, but then its a pound or three on our hips. I have given up chocolate, for various good reasons. LOL

I know … you write music .. why not write out everything you are feeling as songs. You probably have written a goodbye and thank you song to Eric, but if you haven’t .. it might help. Letting go is a b*tch. I know this because my oldest best pain-in-the-butt friend died two years ago and I still miss him. He was 93, and I was 51, when he died. Sometimes I am sad, but then I try and focus on either when we had great fun, or when he made me angry .. because he was good at both. It’s better than feeling sad.

I’m glad you’ve got the emotional support from your therapists, it does help, but you have to let them, and you have to choose to let go. I won’t say that Eric will visit after he’s been through healing, because that will probably take a long time, given the way you describe him. I will say, as the others did, that he, and your other loved ones in spirit, are watching over you, as are your angels. We all have a guardian angel who stands behind our right shoulder, from the group called Michael (our spiritual protectors), and you can ask them for help. You can also ask them to give you a push each morning to get moving. They are always gentle, mine are bossy as blazes, but .. they are totally loving, supporting, and helpful .. when we let them.

Rise up, angel. Life is a challenge, but we learn nothing when life is easy, and you are a very strong person or you would not have chosen to experiences these challenges.

And when you are ready, have a look at somewhere like Amazon.com for getting your book out among the people. If you haven’t already, they ‘publish by request’ ..

Love & Peace
