POSSESSION - NO LAUGHING MATTER

PAGE TWO
At last, I decided to make an appointment with a psychic. The psychic told me that this woman was with me and I was going to need to enlist the aid of a shaman to rid myself of her. A shaman? I had never heard of a shaman. The psychic provided me with a name and phone number of a shaman she highly recommended to help me. Being a spiritualist myself, I have an understanding of the spirit world, but was not familiar with the term shaman. The psychic also told me this woman did not go to the light after her passing and felt this woman had been afraid to go. When I entered the funeral home with Charlie, she saw us together and became very jealous of me only the psychic didn't tell me everything. I don't know if she didn't see everything or she knew I would visit the shaman and he could tell me the rest. All she told me was I had a spirit attachment. I am so thankful that, at that moment, I didn't fully understand the meaning of "spirit attachment".
I immediately called and made an appointment with the shaman in a nearby city. In a couple of days, I was in the shaman's home, whereupon, as we met and shook my hand, he said, "Oh, yes. She is definitely attached to you." He performed his rites, which took an hour, and when he was finished, he and I had a long talk.
As he explained it to me, I had recently undergone a period of depression which had weakened me, allowing Charlie's ex to enter my body. He was right. I had lost my oldest son several years previously in a motorcycle accident and when that time of year rolls around, I become very depressed for a period of time. The shaman explained a spirit attachment is when the spirit of a departed one enters the body of someone living and proceeds to take that body over in thoughts and actions. This woman, he said, did not go to the light after her passing because she was very afraid to go to the light. She was afraid what was waiting for her knowing the life she had led. She also didn't want to go because she was very tied to the flesh and the pleasures it could offer. She was controlling my thoughts more and more as the days went by and the shaman said the more time that would have passed, the less of me there would be and the more of her. He also said that it took her mother, dad, a sister and a brother who are in spirit to convince her to go to the light and then it took some doing on their part. She did go and he said she wouldn't be back, not for a long, long time because it would take her a long time to evolve into a spirit who would be allowed to come back to help others.
I noticed immediately as I stood up from the table on which I had been lying as he performed his rites that my hips no longer hurt and I felt so light - as if walking on a cloud. The shaman said after her departure, it was necessary that he give me a full body healing as when she left, she left all her ailments with me.
When I walked out to my car sitting in his driveway, I just stood by my car breathing in deeply the fresh clean air and looking around me at the beautiful trees, at the beautiful flowers in yards in the neighborhood, at the lovely grass, at the beautiful sky overhead with wonderful fluffy clouds. I felt as if I were looking at everything for the first time. I had lost so much of myself in the matter of just a few short weeks. On my drive home, I was amazed at all the beauty surrounding me. When I parked my car outside our home, I uttered right out loud, "Home Sweet Home". Upon entering our home, all three of my little dogs were at the door to greet me. My heart overflowed with love for each of them and I was so happy to see them. They had, in recent days, begun shying away from me and not seeming to want to be close to me as they had always before. Of course, it was her distancing them from me, not me. When Charlie next came home, I was overjoyed to see him and my heart was bursting with love for him as it had been before her presence within me.
This woman could not see beauty in anything. She did not know how to love anything, including her own children. She was only concerned with herself and meeting her own needs. I am so thankful to be me - very, very thankful. I have a whole new appreciation for who I am and what I am. And, I thank God several times a day for all my many blessings and I thank God for me! I also pray several times a day for God's protection of my children, their spouses, my grandchildren, Charlie, his children and their spouses, myself and others I know and love.
I want to pass along what my shaman told me. ALWAYS, ALWAYS pray for God's protection before entering a funeral home, a hospital, a nursing home, or any public place. He explained that there are spirits out there, just waiting for someone who is open. And, pray several times a day - while at home, upon leaving your home, before getting out of bed in the morning and upon retiring for the night. I told the shaman I had been praying for protection during the period of her presence, but he told me it was too late. She was already here.
This was all like living out a role in a scary movie, one which I never want to repeat, and I won't now that I know how to fully protect myself.
