What is spiritual help?

If you are here it is because you believe that there is much more than matter in our being, that there is an essence. In this way, spiritual help is related to this subtle body that is part of our whole.

It can come from various sources, depending on your faith and merit. Normally, you can ask for spiritual help from God (or any deities or forces related to Him), from the saints, orixás, angels, entities... Always according to your interpretation of the sacred.

But one thing is certain, it exists and you can count on this help to overcome difficult phases or ask for something very special. But how to know that your case is spiritual? There are some signs that show you are in need of extra help, know what they are and how to get it.

How do I know if I need spiritual help?

Sometimes it feels like things aren't moving or that everything is going wrong. Know that these can be signs that you need spiritual help, but they are not the only ones.

After all, there are other ways to notice that something is not right in spirituality. For example, the behavior of your pets, wilting plants, discouragement, negative thoughts, seeing ghosts, having nightmares, and constant malaise. Understand each of these points better.

Pay attention to the animals in the house

If you have a cat or a dog, you already know very well their behavior. However, when there is some spiritual problem, it is notorious the change in some specific moments. When it is a case of obsession, the thing is even more obvious.

The animals' behavior changes, they start to become more aloof and even bark or meow to "nothing". They can also stare at some point, creep their back hair and even attack. They start to not want affection so much and to have more territorial behaviors.

Withering Plants

Have you ever heard the expression "eye of drying pepper tree"? So, it is not for nothing that it is associated with wilting plants to bad energies. This is because, many plants are extremely sensitive to energy and end up dying with those that are more dense.

On the other hand, there are plants that not only resist bad energies, but also help clean the house. Among them are the sword of Ogum, of Iansã, the me-nuém-pode, purple pinion, basil and many others. And yes, the pepper plant is great for cleaning the environment, but it can absorb energies and wither.

Discouragement and negative thoughts

It is absolutely normal to feel tired sometimes, after all, the routine is tight and it may be that your body is in need of a little time. However, if this is a constant, it is good to investigate what it is. After all, it can be from a problem with sugar to bad energy in the house.

The relationship with the need for spiritual help is even greater when, in addition to discouragement, you feel bombarded by negative thoughts. It seems that nothing is good, the world is grayer and everything irritates you. It is certainly a strong indication that it is time for change.

Seeing ghosts and feeling of being watched

Those who have a certain degree of clairvoyance (mediumship where one can see energies and entities), can perceive shadows in the house when they need spiritual help. It is as if they were shadows passing by the corners, in the corner of the eyes, never being noticed in fact.

Another important factor to consider is the constant feeling that you are being watched. As if someone is hiding somewhere, just watching your movements. These are strong signs that you need to take urgent action about the energy in your home.

Recurring nightmares

You may want to seek spiritual help if you are having recurring nightmares, either about the same person or even a repeated situation. It could also be a place or the same type of action, in different places. The bottom line is that they will not be pleasant and you will wake up very unwell.

Having nightmares can also be a sign that the energy in your home is not good, or even worse, may be the presence of less evolved spirits. In both cases, it is very worthwhile to resort to the help of the sacred, thus leaving things lighter in your life.

Frequent malaise and pain in the physical body

Sensations such as nausea, nausea, lack or excess of hunger, apathy and a lot of sleepiness indicate bad vibes. Also, cold sweat, dizziness, headache and general malaise may be signs that you need spiritual help more urgently and emphatically.

Another point to note is if you are experiencing frequent body aches and pains. This can happen either in one specific spot all the time or in different places. Usually, headaches, neck and stomach aches are the most normal in these cases.

How to get spiritual help?

If you need spiritual help, you must find a path that will guide you and make the problems cease. See a little of each place where to look and how to get spiritual help in various religions and practices, such as churches, Reiki, white table, Umbanda and Candomblé.

Find a trusted place to consult

First of all, it is essential that you seek to consult with someone you trust. Give preference to a place known or at least indicated by a friend, relative or even a co-worker. The important thing is to make sure that the people there are working for charity.

After all, as beautiful as a religion is, it's people who work in it, so it's good to have every zeal to find a place of light. It could be anything from pastors selling beans that cure covid to false prophets who use their minds to take advantage of those in need.

But when you find a place you think is good, go with an open heart and mind, listening to what is being said and following the recommendations, always according to your own values.

Churches

Churches are places of connection, where one seeks to hear God's words, regardless of whether they are Catholic or Evangelical. Therefore, they are great places to seek spiritual help and find ways to deal with the situation in which you are living.

Among the recommendations found, you will have confession, guidance on prayers, requests to light candles for your saint or for Jesus, among other actions that can help keep evil away from you and your home.

Reiki

In Reiki, the chosen therapist applies energy to the patient through the imposition of hands, working as a channel between divine energy and the energetic body. It works by harmonizing, aligning the chakras, which are the energy centers of the body that help regulate its functioning.

From the moment the chakras are aligned, the body, mind and spirit are in harmony. In this way, it ends up working much better as a barrier of protection against external forces or even energies that may be trying to get close. In other words, it is as if it helped the body itself to fight against what is harming it.

White table

The white table is the working instrument of spiritism, functioning as a link between the incarnate and the disincarnate. On it, mediums connect to their guides and together with them, they can listen to and give voice to other disincarnate.

It is a form of spiritual help, because it can mediate the contact between the person that is receiving assistance and possible disincarnated spirits that accompany him/her. These spirits are called obsessors and in the center, they receive orientation and direction to new realities.

Umbanda

Umbanda is a religion of Afro-Brazilian origin, which reveres the orixás, its deities. Polytheistic, it has besides the orixás, phalanxes of entities that help in the work of the houses, always based on the principle of charity and love.

When seeking spiritual help in a Umbanda shrine, the consulant will be attended by a medium incorporated by his guide. There, he will receive guidance about life and some specific situation, as well as recommendations for baths and other things he needs to do to improve.

Candomblé

Just as Umbanda carries with it part of its roots in Africa, so Candomblé follows the precepts of its ancestors. They revere the orixás and consider themselves descendents of them, having a very intimate relationship with their deities.

Spiritual help in candomblé also occurs through the use of baths, works and cleansings, with the objective of opening paths and keeping possible eguns (denser wandering spirits) away from the consulter.

Seeking spiritual help alone

You can try to find the solution without seeking spiritual help elsewhere, after all, you are the temple of your soul, which possesses all the wisdom of the universe.

For this, you can count on psalms and prayers, crystals, baths, incense and smokers. Other options are unloading rituals, meditation, mantras and rituals. See below how to use these options.

Psalms and prayers

If you feel a connection to the words of the Bible, then you can seek to improve the energy situation in your home through prayer. There are many options for you to reconnect and keep your environment at peace, always with God's strength.

A good psalm to ask for protection and demonstrate your trust in divine providence is Psalm 23. However, if you prefer prayer, St. George's is perfect for eliminating evil from your life:

"Saint George, warrior victorious over the dragon, pray for us. O Saint George, my warrior, invincible in Faith in God, who brings hope and confidence in your face open my paths.

I will walk clothed and armed with the weapons of St. George so that my enemies, having feet cannot reach me, having hands cannot grasp me, having eyes cannot see me and not in thought can they harm me.

Firearms, my body will not reach, knives and spears break without my body touching, ropes and chains break without my body tying.

Jesus Christ, protect and defend me with the power of your holy and divine grace. Virgin of Nazareth, cover me with your holy and divine mantle, protecting me in all my pains and afflictions, and God, with your divine mercy and great power, be my defender against the wickedness and persecutions of my enemies."

Energizing with crystals

Cleaning your home is essential to be able to always count on the highest energy, avoiding the presence of other more dense. For this, you can count on the power of crystals, each with its function. They can be used for cleaning and protection, taking care of the house as well as yourself.

Whether as a decorative object by your front door or carried as an amulet by your body, it should first be cleaned in salt water or buried in a vase for a day. Then it can be energized at the full moon if it is for protection or the new moon if it is for banishment.

These are the best stones to clear energy: Black Tourmaline, Onyx, Obsidian, Quartz, Black and Blue Cyanite.

Energetic Baths

The baths can bring much more than the properties of the leaves, as well as, spiritual help. Popular knowledge, passed from generation to generation, shows that the baths are a popular tool to help ward off bad energies and open paths.

The best leaves for cleansing baths are the aroeira, pitanga, basil and purple pinion. But it is necessary to have a more directed guidance, not to mix too many hot plants and cause damage in the energy field. Remembering that cleansing baths can only be taken from the neck down.

Incense sticks

Using incense at home is customary for many people, however what part of them do not know, is that it can help you get spiritual help. The quality incense is made with herbs or essence of these, bringing their benefits to the environment.

So, if you choose the right incense sticks, you can help change the energy around you, opening doors to better things. Good incense sticks to cleanse the house are sage, rue, rosewood, myrrh, frankincense, frankincense and benzoin.

Smoking rooms

For a more intense cleansing process, which becomes open to spiritual help, you can use smokers. Whether it's an elegant turban or even the super popular homemade version of a can of powdered milk, they will help eliminate negative energies from the environment.

To do this, light the ember in the smoker and put the resin or set of herbs preferred. Clean around you and your home, remembering to leave the windows open, because this smoking can release a lot of smoke. Choose herbs such as sage, garlic bark, arruda, pitanga, basil and others, to do this cleaning and get help.

Rituals of unloading

Ideally, unloading rituals are done by people who already have experience, but you can count on this kind of spiritual help if you already feel comfortable doing it.

The best known rituals are shaking with popcorn, herbal shaking (such as aroeira, insulin or other hot herbs), cleansing and protective baths. Rituals can also be performed with various other types of materials and techniques, depending on each case and personal creed.

Meditation

Meditation will always be a great alternative for those seeking spiritual help, as it increases the connection of the self with what is considered Sacred. The lifting of the mind high, awareness in the present and silence, help to hear what really matters.

There are several types of meditation, including Zazen, for those who do not feel at ease to totally abstain from reality. They can be done freely or with the help of someone leading the process, called guided meditation.

Mantras

Mantras can offer spiritual help for those who seek help in controlling themselves and understanding others. In addition, they can purify the environment and even bring good fluids, which will raise the vibration and facilitate contact with spirituality, if necessary.

Among the most famous mantras are the Vedic "Asa To Ma" and "Gayatri Mantra". Among the Shivaists, there are "Om Namah Shivaya", "Om Namah Shiva Lingan", "Shiva Shiva Maha Dêva" and "Om Shiva Om Shakti Namah Shiva Namah Shakti". In Sanskrit, on the other hand, there are "Om Namah Kundaliní" and "Om Mani Padme Hum".

Rituals

Several rituals aim to bring spiritual help, but you have to be very careful with what you are doing, as it can cause more problems than it solves. After all, energy manipulation is not something to be trifled with.

Among the most common rituals for cleansing and protection are banishment - which can be done in numerous ways, but usually rely on water and black candle -, protection rituals, preparation of amulets and talismans and many others.

Is it dangerous to seek spiritual help alone?

In the case of rituals, if you study enough and know exactly what you are doing, what is the property of each color, object or word, it may not offer risk. But, there are other ways to seek spiritual help, either alone or in a house of charity. Look for the one that best reverberates in your heart and good luck!
