Ämnet är fascinerande, här är ännu en websida; "Earthbound Souls and Ghostly Spirits. I feel sad for ghosts and earthbound souls. Or at least for most of them. Do Ghosts Exist? Earthbound spirits, or ghosts, as most people refer to them, are human souls that remain on the earth plane after they, or rather their human personalities, have "passed away". In other words, they're dead people. Ghosts. However, they're not happy dead people. Which is why I feel sad for them. Unlike happy, fulfilled dead people who have already "passed over", that is, who have moved on to the spirit world where we all ought to be headed towards merrily upon our passing – among other reasons, because there we can finally be re-united with our deceased friends and loved ones – earthbound souls are beings who linger around on the earth plane, unable to make the transition. The Earth Plane The earth plane, by the way, is the dimension which surrounds our physical reality here on earth. It isn't physical, but it's very close to the physical. Everyone and everything is energy, and energy vibrates. Having explained that (and that explains everything I'm sure!), physical objects, like tables, people, trees and animals have a certain, low frequency vibration. That is what makes them physical and solid here on earth. On the earth plane, on the other hand, people and other beings that move around in it vibrate at a slightly higher frequency than physical beings do. The result is that they are imperceptible to everyone except to seasoned clairvoyants or psychic mediums. The earth plane is not our true spiritual home. Our true spiritual home is reached after a transition process, the famous "tunnel with a light at the end" described by so many who have survived near death experiences. Why Earthbound Souls Remain Earthbound souls, however, are people who have decided, or feel forced to linger around on the earth plane, and either refuse to make the transition (ie. pass down the proverbial tunnel) to our true home in the spirit world, or else they feel trapped because they can’t find the passageway, so to speak, into the spirit world. The former type, earthbound souls who refuse to cross over, like to espouse a good number of reasons, ahem, excuses for hanging around us even though their useful, physical life has already come to a permanent end. They could be staying because they have some unfinished business to take care of. Perhaps they forgot to tell their secret girlfriend where they had hidden their latest will and testimony, the one leaving all of their goodies to the girlfriend instead of the wife. These people will usually find peace once they are able to communicate their urgent information through the services of a psychic medium or channeller. Or perhaps they are simply concerned about the loved ones that they are leaving behind on earth, and wish to watch over them. When that is the case, we should console them and re-assure them that they will still be perfectly capable of looking after their loved ones from the spirit world, with the added advantage of being surrounded by their own deceased as they care over family and friends still residing on earth. Some really evil earthbound souls have no intention of going anywhere at all. Oh no! They believe in hell and are convinced that their phantom train stops there in the pit of the inferno on account of all the sins that they committed throughout their lives. And there's no way anyone's going to send them off into the depths of hell. They'd rather just hang around on earth and continue to make people’s lives miserable just as they used to do when they were alive. Help! An Earthbound Soul is After Me! If you should encounter one of these unfortunate blokes, there's no need to run off screaming. You can ask, very firmly, that the spiritual beings who are in charge of leading souls into the spirit world please come by and bear this wretched individual away with them. Just pronounce something along the lines of: "Dear God (or dear Universe, Divine Creator, Jesus Christ, Buddha or if you prefer, dear Rufus your dearly beloved dog who passed away 5 years ago, if that is the divine being whom you believe in), I ask you to please send along some divine beings who are in charge of leading earthbound souls and ghosts back to where they belong, to kindly take this individual, this earthbound spirit present here, and lead it back to the dimension which it has justly earned. Do not allow this being to escape or remain behind on earth and ensure that it is properly led into the world where it belongs. Thank you, thank you, thank you." Remember to always thank divine celestial beings for any service which they grant us. It's good manners, after all, and everyone likes to have their favours acknowledged, and divine spiritual beings are no exception. This same formula may be used to help the second type of earthbound souls move along, those who find themselves trapped on the earth plane against their will. They are usually lost and would gladly run along into the spirit world if they could, but they just can't find the door. Perhaps they suffered a traumatic death which has left them in too much shock to think clearly. Or sometimes they might be very young. Whatever the case, the same formula mentioned above will help them complete their transition without any more distress." Read more: http://www.seasofmintaka.com/earthbound-souls.html#ixzz4E8oJxMzB

Hur blir man av med en störande jordbunden ande (spöke)? http://www.angelsghosts.com/how_to_get_rid_of_ghosts "Ghost Problems: How to Get Rid of a Ghost WHERE TO BEGIN If you fear ghosts, then we recommend reading the articles Protection From Ghosts and Fear Of Ghosts, first. Most ghosts do not need 'gotten rid of' but may require help often referred to as Ghost Rescue. If you think you have a ghost but are not sure, then we suggest reading, How to Tell if You Have a Ghost. If you believe you have a troubled or negative ghost with you or your family, remain calm and try to gain insight and understanding of the ghost communications that may be happening around you. The ghost, or person, is likely attempting to make contact to try and communicate with you. Help With Haunting TYPICAL REACTION TO GHOSTS: GET RID OF IT! Most people, when encountering a ghost, panic because the communication method is not normal; it's paranormal. Oftentimes, a ghost only wants to be recognized as existing, or needs to resolve some unfinished business, or could desire to let you know that he or she is still alive and alright before moving onward into the light (e.g. heaven). Many times, people are shocked when later they find out the ghost is someone they knew and still love. A ghost can be a family member or friend who, now a disembodied human being, desires to deliver a final message to someone. By doing so, the earthbound soul may feel released (and relieved) to progress forward in life, moving into the light with other spirits unto peace, joy and love. If a ghost is attempting to make contact, then we suggest trying to understand the reason behind the haunting. Although this may sound fearful, it is crucial. The person(s) haunted may choose to co-exist with ghosts if a mutual understanding is reached and boundaries set with friendly souls (ghosts) who wish to remain with the living. Or, the haunted may opt to help the ghost find closure so the spirit is ready to leave this world behind. For these reasons, we recommend not fearing communication from the dead - for ghosts are people. How to Get Rid of Ghosts Problem Ghosts: How to Help to Get Rid of Ghost Activity If you feel you have a negative spirit or dark energy in your home (a ghost that frightens you, who is physically abusive or ghosts that are sexually perverse instead of enlightened, positive spirits or kind ghosts of loved ones who will not be troublesome when asked to behave and follow house rules), or if you just want to try and help ghosts find peace, we recommend handling both negative entities and good ghosts in the following manner. By helping a ghost, you will be able to get rid of the lost spirit, and the haunting will end. Be Strong - Remain unemotional and firm if dealing with a negative ghost, as they will feed off of your fear and make themselves stronger and more powerful to the emotional or weak-minded (much of this is simply in your head - we do not believe ghosts have any power over us except what we give them). Just know you are always in control. You have nothing to fear, for fear is created by, and controlled by, your mind. Speak out loud to ghosts to communicate but do it unwavering. If you are dealing with a vile ghost, you may tell the unwanted spirit to leave and that they are not welcome in your home. Do this firmly, yet with compassion, because this will not likely work in most cases of haunting. You are probably going to need to communicate and reason with mosts ghosts whether dealing with a pleasant soul or not. And most ghosts are nice, reasonable people. Help With HauntingDon't Assume - It's always good to get down to the basics with the ghost by telling him or her to seek the light, explaining that their physical body has perished and it's time (and good) to leave this physical realm behind. Let ghosts know that they will see other people (loved ones in spirit) who are there to direct and guide them. Let ghosts know that they will be treated with love and forgiveness no matter what they've done prior. Ghosts need to know that they can be affecting others negatively, and that it is time for them to move on in life and unto peace, letting go of their concerns (which is suffering). Again, be compassionate, understanding, pleasant and helpful. Remember that ghosts are people who do not view themselves as ghosts, usually. We label them ghosts. Learn "Why" - Find out why the ghost is here. If the person in spirit understands that their body has died, then they may only need to be told to head into the light. Otherwise, the reason the ghost remains earthbound is due to some form of fear that has compelled them to stay. Ghosts may be afraid to face an uncertain future, leave behind loved ones, possessions, places, etc. Identify the fear, help the ghost to work through it, and they will be ready to go. It may help to let them know that they may return to visit, later, after heading to the light. Overcome the Fear - If the ghost is worried about punishment, tell him or her that there is no need to fear an eternal "hell." Every soul undergoes a brief review of their life, allowing them to take only the good with them and leaving behind past mistakes (errors in judgment). The person will always be treated with love and kindness and will be helped to move beyond self-created guilt and condemnation through forgiveness - especially learning to forgive themselves. Be very firm in letting ghosts know that it's good for them, and time for them, to go. Keep urging lost souls this is their path to freedom until you feel they've gone to the light, reuniting with loved ones. Light is not to be feared for it is love, peace and joy. Darkness is really a 'lack of understanding' and negative energy - false beliefs. For more about assisting ghosts to get them to move on, we recommend our book, Helping Ghosts. Traditional Spiritual Cleansing: Ghost Smudging Using Sage If the spirit or ghost activity does not stop, or stops only for a while, then resumes, some ghost investigators claim a spiritual cleansing of the house may help ease the haunting for a while. This is the traditional practice of 'smudging' a home to get rid of an unwanted ghost. However, we feel this technique may only temporarily slow the activity down, for the ghost needs to truly move on for a haunting to cease. Also, holy water is sometimes reported to have a temporary calming effect on haunted activity, the effectiveness possibly relying upon whether or not the disembodied person haunting the home (the ghost) is religiously-minded and fearful of godly judgment. Crack a window in each room of your home and take a dried bundle of sage (available at most metaphysical stores) and "smudge" your home clearing out any negative or stagnant energies. Smudging is simply lighting the sage bundle, making sure you have a safe receptacle to catch the ashes in, and walking around your entire home allowing the smoke to circulate and cleanse the energy and space. Being firm and unemotional, walk around each room of your home, while saying loudly and firmly, "This sage is cleansing out all negative energies and spirits… all negative energies and spirits must leave now through the windows and not return." Do this until you sense the negative energy has gone and the room's energy lightens (to a positive - look for peace) and then say, "In the name of God, this room is now cleansed." Know and sense this. Remember not to worry about how you sound if you stumble on your words. The main thing is your intent, which is your faith. You have power and have nothing to fear. Your intentions are to rid the home of negative energies and spirits and they will know this, if they are there. Always work with your own energy from within your soul and incorporate this energy into the cleansing. Draw your divine power from within your innermost being. Read more on the idea of protection from ghosts: Ghost Fear. Always be firm, non-fearing, unemotional and deal with negative ghosts strongly, yet in love. You are always in control and are not powerless. Some people like to re-visit a cleansed house by going back into all of the rooms with a pleasant incense such as lavender while inviting all loving, protecting, positive spirits into the home. You may end the ritual by lighting a white candle and setting it on a table to burn for a bit to "seal" the ritual. We recommend first helping the ghost, then doing the cleansing, if you choose to do so."
