Letter from a client

I wanted to post this email I received this morning from Lisa Shipley. It really touched me and thought it would be great for others to know that there is help out there. Also the referral to AKA: Skinny Bitch was a joke between Lisa and Henry


Hi there,

It was a great pleasure meeting all of you. What really impresses me about your work, is the understanding about the power of love , and how that energy heals the "lost"

Thank you for helping me understand myself , and my relationship to the spirit world, as well. These are all things I learned by observing your work
I would love to write a brief statement about Henry and our experience. You can also use the above statements however you wish for marketing.

Great work that you guys have done with staging also, looks like you had allot of great projects!

I will forward you my statement on Henry as soon as I can!

Thanks,

Here's the story behind the comments:
HENRY

We met the real estate agent and her home stagers at the “problem” house. A beautiful home, great location and price but the home had been on and off the market for over a year. The stagers had several encounters with the spirit while they were working at the house. The team entered and began scanning the house. We felt a pulling energy in the closet pantry in the kitchen and also a lot of violent angry energy in the downstairs laundry. There was a strong smell in the up stairs bathroom and then we found "Henry" hanging out in one of the bedrooms upstairs.

It turns out that Henry had been the original owner of the house and had lived there for many years, back in the day when he could hop on his horse and ride down to the local pub. He had died in the house and never left because he could not find his horse.

We ask Henry if there was anything we could do to make his passing easier and he ask for a shot of whiskey and a cigarette. The moment he asked the room filled with the smell of cigarette smoke. We all gathered a took a hit of some 151 Rum I carry for ceremonies and Tim grabbed a cigarette out of his truck, as he was coming up the stairs Henry said, "Hey, what's that you have? That ain't no cigarette?!" So Tim ripped off the filter and lit up. We all stood and had a last drink and smoke with Henry and he asked that we call in a buddy of his. We lit a fire of the high proof alcohol mixed with salt and waited for Henry to find the light and crossover. Before we knew it the flame flashed out and Henry was gone.

In the salt that we burned there was a heart shaped depression. I guess the cantankerous old guy did have a heart and he left it in thanks for the helped we offered.

As we were clearing the rest of the house we discovered that the man who bought the house after Henry died had done a huge remodel and lost the house to the bank do to some gambling debts. He had also been abusive to his wife. Henry had wanted us to know that this was not his energy.
 

Someone is watching me.

I was originally contacted by the owner of the quilt shop to do a clearing of a space she had recently rented for her quilting classes. It had been built a few years before as a garage to store suitcases in for a company who manufactured them. She told me that every time she went into the space she felt as though someone was watching her. I went with another person, as I often do when clearing. There was a lot going on in the spaceenergetically, especially with electromagnet fields (EMF). The EMF was the first thing we worked with and referred her to someone who could electrically ground the building. There were other problems in the space with some earth energies, which were also easily remedied. Then I began to walk the space, feeling the subtle energies along the walls. I came upon an energy field that extended way beyond the wall. As I began to trace it with my hand I knew that it was the energy of a tree. I put my hand into it and pain shot through my arm. I was somewhat unprepared for this. I began to clear the energy as best as I knew how. When I felt satisfied we were through, we left. As I walked out the door I felt a sharp pain in my neck, as if some thing had shot an arrow at me. I mentioned this to my partners as we left. That evening I had a group of friends coming over for our weekly psychic workshop. By this time I had an amazing headache and related it to the clearing incident earlier in the day. I knew that there was something left incomplete, that some how this tree spirit needed help and I did not know how to help it. We went through many scenarios of asking it to, “go to the light,” to cross over, but nothing was working. Finally, my friend Dirk, said that he would hold back the pain of my headache while I asked how can I could help. This worked immediately. I got the message that to help the tree we must assist its transmutation back into the elements. Great! Only I had never done this before. We all silently focused on the spirit of this tree, visualizing its transmutation back into the elements. After about ten minutes my headache went away and there was a feeling of peace. I could not wait until the next day to go back to the quilt shop. When I returned I knew that the spirit had gone and the energy felt calm. I phoned the owner and left her a message about what had taken place that day. She called me back the next afternoon in tears. She said that she remembered the day that they had taken the tree out to put in the garage and she had felt such sadness about the way it was bring done. The tree had felt her compassion and through her calling me facilitated its crossing over. This was such a valuable lesson for me to realize that there are spirits of all kinds here and just as people can die and not know they are dead so can plants, trees and animals.

I don't feel welcome in my boyfriend's house.

This couple called and asked me to come and do a clearing at their house. They had been dating for sometime and had decided to move in together. The woman had sold her home and moved into the boyfriend’s home but, she said she felt there was a ghost in the house who made her feel unwelcome. The man of the house was quite familiar with the ghost and in fact over the years had become comfortable with him. The ghost in question had built the house and died in the house and did not want to leave. Things had gotten so bad that when any of their children came to visit they would refuse to sleep in the downstairs bedroom as this ghost would rattle and shake the doors and move things to scare them.

The woman was especially uncomfortable in the kitchen, which she said she just hated because of the brick floor. Our ghost had been a mason and the house was made of brick and stone. We sat down together and began to speak with the ghost through the use of a pendulum and quiet meditation. The man’s name was Howard. He and his wife had both died in the house. Howard loved the fact that the man took such good care of the house but did not want company. After much conversation, Howard agreed to leave under two conditions. First, we would have a feast for him that coming Wednesday of his favorite food, rigatoni. Secondly, at dinner would we play Glenn Miller’s tune, String of Pearls, but the Benny Goodman arrangement? The following Wednesday I returned for the farewell dinner with a CD copy of String of Pearls by Benny Goodman. The woman said that Howard had awakened her the last two nights, apologizing for having frightened her. He explained that his wife had died of a heart attack in the kitchen and his wife, in fact, had always hated the floor. That evening we did a complete clearing of the house, especially the fire ceremony and after dinner during the playing of String Of Pearls, I helped this couple to say goodbye to Howard, It was very emotional and touching as the man had become quite attached. We all experienced the energy in the house shift as Howard crossed to the other side. The next day the woman of the house called and said she woke up and immediately felt that for the first time this was their house. I spoke to them recently and they told me they were considering getting a dog and that their children had come for the holidays and felt very comfortable there for the first time.

Can you help my son ?

A woman called to get a Feng Shui Consultation because she was having trouble with her son, who was 24 years old and still living at home. The boy and his girlfriend had recently had a child and Mom knew it was time for him to take on the responsibility. My focus at this consultation was in the son’s bedroom. He was sleeping in the line of the door with his right side up against the wall. My recommendation was to have her move his bed so he could see the door but not be directly in line with it and to make sure there was equal space to walk around the bed on both sides.
When he came home that night they moved his room around. Five days later she called and said that he had decided to move to the town his wife and child were living in.

Be careful what you ask for, Intention matters!

I was contacted by one of the members of the Portland Development Commission and told that he had recommended me to the developer of a large historic building in downtown Portland. The building was 100 years old and had served primarily as a storage facility for a newspaper company. It was being remodeled to become a high tech business center. The building was large, seven floors and approximately 70,000.00 square ft.

When the developer and I spoke the building was in the interior demolition phase prior to the rebuild.
I told him that this was a good time to not only clear and “wake up” the still energy in the space but to voice his intentions for the future purpose and success of the building. I was guided to do a Tibetan smoke offering to the spirits of the land, and so, I asked him to bring some flowers, black tea and votive candles as offerings for the ceremony.

We arrived at the site early and there were many construction workers on the site. All had heard of the event that was to take place and were excited to participate. We waited for the developer who arrived an hour late and with no offerings. He then informed us that he had to leave right away, before the ceremony began. As he left, all of the workers gathered together, went outside to pick flowers and gathered the other offerings that had been requested. I asked them to step forward and voice their intentions for the building, as the owner was not present. They all asked for safety, as this was a complicated job, and for the work to take longer than scheduled, as work around town was slow. We all went through the building performing the clearing. The workers drummed, and chanted their intentions through the seven floors.

Several months later I spoke with the developer to find out what, if anything had happened. He said there had been many delays and the only good thing was that there had not been one injury at the site. I was proud that the workers intentions had come to fruition.

We can hear a child crying!

David and Mary had purchased an old house that they were fixing up as an office for the two of them as well as an apartment above. I was called because when they began the remodel, Mary had felt the presence of a child in the ground floor who was crying. Each time she passed through, she would hear the cries. I put a team together to perform a clearing. Their entire family, two grandmothers and their daughter along with our crew of four EnergyShifters gathered on a Sunday morning. We had chosen to conduct a practice of the Tibetan Deity, Green Tara, who is the mother of compassion. We then drummed and smudged and did a special fire ceremony to release the spirit of the child, who had died there. We came to find out that many sad moments had been spent in this house, as it had been a residence for people who came to visit their terminally ill relatives at the hospital up the street.

This was a very special clearing, as Mary was able to communicate with the child’s spirit and feel her presence leave as she crossed over. Since the clearing, David’s construction business has prospered despite a difficult economy in Portland. And Mary, a nationally recognized voice actress, has realized her goal of creating a successful home-based recording studio.

Location, Location, Location !

Owners Lisa Schroeder and Rob Sample contacted me when they began to search for the location of their first restaurant. The site they selected was in their price range, but part of this owed to the fact that other bars and restaurants had failed in this location for the past ten years. I brought my senior teacher, Dr. Edgar Sung to the initial Feng Shui consultation. The most important issue addressed by the consultation was the location of the entry door. We chose the door that had been the side entrance. As the primary entry, it was in a better location for guests to “decompress” and accommodate a waiting area and hostess station. We placed a large mirror across from the door, which “opens the possibilities for opportunities to come in.” We also had Lisa place articles that were favorable concerning her work as a chef at other restaurants. This allowed patrons to become familiar with who the new owners were and what they had to offer. We talked about colors and about table placement as well as the use of large mirrors on the walls opposite the windows to double the feel and size of the restaurant. A wind chime was place in the center of the restaurant to balance the five elements. We also determined that the place needed to be cleared of the energy of previous failures.

On another day we preceded to do the clearing. This was done with a team of four people. We used several techniques, drumming, smudging and then did a rice blessing and sealed the doors. The day we performed the clearing the basement door was locked so we could not get in. On opening night I got a call from Lisa who told me they believed they had a ghost as several of the waiters had there trays tipped over when no one was near by and a cake tray flew off the counter onto the floor. In the basement there was a tray of eggs that dropped to the floor and broke. Remembering that the basement had been closed the day we went to clear I went back and did another clearing in the basement working mainly with the disruptive spirits. We were able to help the spirits on and the mischievous actions ceased. The results have been miraculous, The restaurant turned a profit after only ten months and by the end of the year had been named Portland’s “Restaurant of the Year,” by the two leading newspapers.

The Trees Were Crying for Help.

Jim and Joann have a large horse property northwest of Portland.  They lived in town and had been renting the old house out.  They had to get rid of the recent tenants because they had been very untidy, loud and late with the rent. When they went to clean the home and yard to prepare it for the next tenants, the energy was so intense they felt they could not enter the home. The found us on the internet and asked us for help.  The team went to the house and while we found violent energy and anger permeating the home and surrounding yard, it was when we went out to the edge of the property that we found the strongest source of the disruption. We discovered that the previous tenants had gone into the backyard and thrown knives at the trees. There were literally hundreds of knife wounds in the tree trunks in the backyard. We were able to communicate with the nature spirits, honor them and apologize for the ignorance of the past tenants. We had the present owners vow to protect and respect the trees and animals on the property. 

As we walked among the trees, we also discovered the spirits of two children sitting in a tree branch above the creek.  We were unable to determine exactly how long they had been there, but they had apparently died together in an accident many years before. They were unaware that they could crossover and we were able to tell them that their family was waiting for them and we assisted them in making the crossover.

"We were so thankful to have our home back.  We found great tenants who clearly love the place and now the ranch is a happy place again."

Child Dies in Fire!

The testimonial below came from a couple who requested our help when they felt an sad and uneasy presence in a particular part of their house.

"The amazing thing for us was we knew something was wrong. It wasn't until Sharon and her team came that we discovered the house we live in had once had a terrible fire and a child had died. After Sharon and the team shared this with us we were able to go back into old newspaper records and verify that indeed our house had burned at one time and a child had been trapped in the bathroom and died. We were able to do a wonderful ceremony for him, it was really great to be involved and be allowed to help him crossover.

Afterwards, I asked for help with an issue I was having with my brother, we had not spoken in 15 years. Sharon and Larry led me through a Hawaiian Kahuna Ceremony of forgiveness and as the ceremony was coming to a close the phone rang and it was my brother."

My house is making me sick

The weekend I moved in to my house I became very depressed and it has been a slow crawl out of it this last 6 months. Beyond that, I feel restless when I go to sleep. I feel like there is energy outside my window that won’t calm down. I wake up 5-6 times a night and haven’t rested well one night since I moved in. This is all uncharacteristic of who I am. My relationships aren’t the main concern necessarily.

However, the thing that has pushed me to call on you is what is happening to my 6 year old daughter. She has grown more restless and anxious this last 6 months and now is hearing voices in her head telling her scary things. It is scaring her and tormenting her. This only happens when she is upstairs in her room, which is next to my room upstairs where I feel all of the restless, negative energy.

There is a meth house next door to me that two people have died in the basement from overdoses and my house was a prior meth house that had connections to the house next door prior to me moving in. I am not sure if there is a connection or not.


Results:
The house feels much better. I am sleeping through the night, every night, which has never happened since I moved in. My relationship is 1000% better. And most importantly, my daughter is better, however she has had a few episodes since. They are much less frequent but would like to see them gone all together.

Ghost in the house - part 2

Ghost in the house !

We are going to do a clearing for a real estate agent this Sunday who has an empty house that won't sell. Several people have told her there are strange things going on at the house, the backdoor locks and unlocks itself, there is a strange smell in one of the rooms and the stagers for the house have had some kind of encounter with the spirit. Evidently they had called in a Psychic who told them the ghost was a very angry man who hated women and he would not leave. She said they needed a serious ghost buster.

Well here we are off to the rescue. We don't ghost bust however, we always do our best to find out what the spirit needs and help them crossover with dignity.

I will let you know how it goes.

The Power of Earth Energy

I was called to do a clearing several weeks ago and encounter one of the most intense earth energies I have ever come across. The team (myself, Lisa Heacock Tim Sheffield and Larry Hitchcock ) went over to the house and the minuet you walked down the driveway you felt sick. As we investigated further we noticed the energy seamed to move in both clockwise and counter clockwise movements. It was large (20") and pretty much encompassed the whole house. The front porch was the only place not effected. The reasons we were called to come included sleeplessness, anxiety, feeling ill and having lot's of fights with a family member and depression she said she had none of theses feelings before she bought the house 6 months ago. This was one of those rare times when I felt like I needed to call in one of my teachers (Rob Abbot) He came with us and was also amazed at the intensity of the energy. He taught us how to feel how deep the energy goes into the ground and then begin to move it (slowly) It took us about 30 minuets to move the energy out into the driveway and away from the house.

The results were great! I spoke with the client a week later and she was sleeping through the night, her relationship was 1000 percent better and all the feelings of sickness and depression were gone.

It is an experience to see how these earth energies can affect us and how easily they can be relocated.
