Cleansing with Water

Sea water is powerful for absorbing and removing negative influences. Fresh water can be used for this purpose as well. All fresh water falls upon the earth and is simply “passing through” on its way to the oceans. When fresh water is used in cleansing, it is simply necessary to command it (through prayer) to take the negativity it is removing to the ocean. If there is a difference and a similarity in the effects of fresh and sea water, we might inquire as to whether there is a difference between the effects of other types of water. Those who have devoted time to opening the intuitive faculty assure us that there is a difference. They say that each kind of water has its own particular function, and thus its own use in the universal scheme of things.

Cleansing with Incense

When we use incense to clean a place, we are calling those forces of the astral universe which regularly act to remove negative influences. We are simply calling them and asking them to work in a particular area. When we burn incense to improve the vibrations of a place, to give a place a more “spiritual” vibration, we call on those forces which naturally act to improve the spiritual vibrations. Each incense, or blend, is a sort of “telephone number” which is answered according to the sincerity of our request.
