AFTERCARE
The big suggestions for aftercare after a clearing (especially compassionate depossession) are:
• Epsom Salt bath for soaking. Use a good double handful of Epsom Salt and soak for a half-hour or longer. Epsom Salt helps to reorganize your energetic system. If you feel bad, take a series of Epsom Salt soaks on consecutive days until you feel better. The Energies/Being(s) are now gone; no worries there. The imprint and out-gassing of the energies may remain for a short time. This will dissipate. The Epsom Salt soak helps a lot with this.
• Walk these changes into your body :-) Moving, walking, cross-crawl activities are good for helping to integrate the energetic changes that have occurred. Get out in Nature and connect with the Earth whenever you can. Pachamama helps realign us back to our pristine normal state in a huge way. You really can't overdo this :-) Walk the new changes into your body! Ask the Sacred Nature Powers for their clearing and healing abilities to come and do their work when you get out in them.
• Do some cleaning and reorganizing of your living space, especially the bedroom: change sheets, move the bed a couple of inches, vacuum, and reorganize the furniture a bit. This helps to break up and de-anchor the old energetic matrix that the Beings were a part of. You don't need to move things around in a big way; tiny changes suffice. Since you spend a lot of time sleeping, make sure that the bedroom gets good attention so that those energies can dissolve and a new normal can form.
• Be on the lookout for new patterns coming your way after this session - notice what is different. Beings can anchor/enable chaos and muddiness simply because of their proximity and different nature. Now that they're gone, the chaos will begin to dissipate and drift away. A future session might be necessary to attend to some specifics if/when they might arise -- this is entirely your decision to make as to when and if that happens.
• Rest. Don't make any big decisions in the coming days :-) Let this settle.
• I highly encourage you to disengage from the story of what happened or who this Energy/Being was. Being(s) and their qualities and whatever other energetic barnacles that were connected to them and you are now gone. Telling the story of what we think happened can open an energetic space to draw something else to you. Let them and their influence(s) drift away.
It helps to not talk to anyone about the healing until you get to the point where you don't want to talk about it anymore!
• Take a look at the instructions for Blue Envelope especially. This is a practice that helps fortify your etheric envelope, your natural energy layer that is closest to the skin. This one's important, so try and do it a couple of times a day.
• I always suggest doing an invocation of sacred space on my teacher, Betsy Bergstrom’s website: (https://www.spirit-wise.com/invocation)
• Invite the divine, intelligent Field of All Blessing to open and inform your body, your energy system, your life path, and your relationship spaces. The Blessing Field is available to everyone. It has it’s own intelligence and is a great field to invite.
AND I suggest to not ever talk to spirits in your head! That gives them an in and permission to get inside your head! If you’re going to talk to spirits-you may want to do it out loud only!
Cosmic Cookie and Blue envelope can be used for your physical and energetic body AND in your spaces, homes, working areas. You can also use them for clearing situations, projects, calendars; any 'sticky' situations that just don't budge. I'd follow on with inviting the Blessing Field energies to occupy those spaces afterward as well. (If you don’t know about the Cosmic Cookie or Healing Blue Envelope, I’m happy to set up a session for you to learn these potent energy hygiene tools).
If there was a Power Animal Retrieval included in the clearing, here is an article about working with Power Animals: Power Animal Retrieval: How to work with a power animal | The Foundation for Shamanic Studies (shamanism.org)
