Ghosts, or apparitions of dead people who manifest into the living world, are real. When we hear ghost stories and see ghosts being depicted in movies and television, they are portrayed as just weird or scary enough to keep their reality questionable. Whether it’s adding strange music, exaggerating their terror, or exoticising exorcisms, most of what’s out there will instill fear or fantasy to keep most humans unaware that ghosts may, in fact, be impacting their lives and wellbeing. The word “ghost” itself has become a fantastical term for simply the spirit of a being that was recently human, a spirit that is no longer in a human vessel. 

A huge percent of clients I work with are impacted by spirits of ancestors who are deceased, and these spirits cause issues ranging from suicidality and depression, preventing love, pregnancy loss, and much more. Yes, they can express some stereotypical things like moving items and breaking things when they want attention, too. An effective spirit removal performed by a clear spiritual worker (such as a cleanly guided initiated priest or priestess in certain traditions such as Sanse Espiritismo) can be a miraculous gateway to resolving problems that many have been unable to resolve via western medicine, psychotherapy, and other modern interventions.

The beauty of real spiritual work done by a clear spiritual worker is that we work to heal and elevate all souls, whether they are in a human vessel or not. At the root of the work is that we are all from one Divine Source, and evolving in life is about moving towards that Oneness, towards Love. When we remove or elevate a spirit or ghost that is “stuck” or weighing people down, we elevate both the spirit of the deceased and the living human that the ghost is affecting. In our modern societies and cultures, it is only weird because the work is in fact that powerful and beyond what a human ego can see or resolve for themselves. 

What also comes from removing and elevating spirits is healing of ancestral trauma. This is another topic for discussion- but the power of healing ancestral trauma speaks for itself. Another gift of elevating ghosts and spirits is how much it can resolve grieving for the loss of loved ones. If you acknowledge that in fact, we can communicate with and heal souls after they have left the human vessel, imagine how much healing and closure can be had when people suffer losses. 

So yes, ghosts are real. What’s more real is the power of the spirit and soul that transcends beyond our lifetimes. It is no wonder that working to evolve the soul is the true pathway to freedom.
