What Lingers: Residual Energy, Attachments, and Clearings

SPEAKER_01 0:00

On this week's episode of Three Cups and a Dash of Spirituality, we're talking about how energy moves through a space. Stacy shares a recent experience clearing energy from a location, which opens up a conversation about attachments, subtle changes, and what it can feel like when energy begins to shift. Now, let's start the music.

SPEAKER_00 0:27

Hello, everybody, and welcome to this week's episode of Three Cups in a Dash of Spirituality. You have two cups today. I'm here, I'm Stacy with Michelle. Hello, hello, everyone. How are you?

SPEAKER_01 0:41

I'm good. How are you? I'm doing okay. Just before we start this episode, and I think this is gonna be a really fun episode. We've teased the topic, and of course, it's gonna be about spiritual clearings and energetic hygiene. But recently my husband and I were traveling, and we were in Las Vegas, and I remember I was in the room. Have I already shared this story? I don't think so. I don't remember this. I hope not. And listeners, if I have, like just bear with me because just I just like the story. So we're in the in a hotel room, he's asleep, I'm having trouble sleeping, and all of a sudden the hotel room felt so full. Like there were so many people in it. And that doesn't happen to me. Like when a spirit comes through, it's usually a single spirit or feeling like a single energy in the room. But the room felt so full that night. And I'm like, I must be dreaming this, even though I was wide awake, but I don't usually step into this. So I'm like, okay, I clear my mind, I finally fall asleep, I kind of forget about it. Well, a couple days later, I was out to dinner with my mother-in-law and my husband. And my husband starts telling me the story that on that same night he had gotten up and was wandering around the room. He looked outside the window, and down on the top of the parking garage below were a bunch of people like that weren't really there. Like they were blue.

unknown 2:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 2:07

And I'm like, isn't that crazy that that very same night, and we didn't have this discussion until three days later, where I felt the room was so full and of energy that he actually saw it outside the window.

SPEAKER_00 2:20

Isn't that interesting? I wonder what it was. I don't know. I was hoping you could tell me. I'm thinking it it feels very spiritual to me. I'm gonna start by with that. So initially, like hearing that energy, it it almost sounds otherworldly. Like that's that's especially where your husband said they were blue. Like that's a very interesting description to add to it.

SPEAKER_01 2:45

And you know what this just triggered and reminded me of? That a couple years ago, I was in that same hotel room and I saw blue energy there. So, yes, it does feel like a little bit out of this world.

SPEAKER_00 2:58

Other world, yeah. And and what's cool about that is it could actually be almost anything. It could be spirits, it could be, I'm gonna say aliens. We're just gonna throw that out there because why not? It could be just just some sort of energetic shift that that's taken place too. Like there are there are a lot of options for that.

SPEAKER_01 3:17

There really are, and I'm gonna sit with that a little bit longer, but it's just one of those stories that sticks with me. And it's just like, why was the room so full? Why did I pick it up? And why did he see that? But I mean, that's what this is about. We're all students again of the universe. That's what we've been saying since our very first episode. Right. And here we are, just living that still.

SPEAKER_00 3:39

How how cool for him to experience something like that too? Because if you recall, the first time I ever saw, experienced, or, you know, had a major thing in my life where I saw, you know, spirits, it was I was a child looking out my bedroom window outside and saw hundreds of people standing there. So it's it's really interesting to me that he would experience something like that too.

SPEAKER_01 4:05

I think the more time he spends around me and the more comfortable he becomes with it, and his guard goes down just a little bit, he sees a lot more than he used to. And he'll come in like the other day, he came in from the other room, and he's like, that was weird. There's some yellow wave energy, or not yellow, white wave energy out above where this piece of art is. And it was there all morning, Michelle. And it looked like the wave you would find on water. And I'm like, that's so cool. Why didn't you take a video? Isn't that there yet? He's not thinking about the documentation of it yet. He's just experiencing it.

SPEAKER_00 4:43

It's just, I this just happened and I and I'm and I'm just telling you it happened. It's it's interesting that you say that because I find the more time I spend with my husband as well, the more he's picking up on things. And I think I shared with you that my place of employment is definitely haunted in in a in a really interesting way, too. So was it last week my husband came to pick me up from work in the evening and I got to give him a tour after it was closed. So nobody else was there. So he was able to walk around the building with me into all of the areas that you would be able to see if you were getting services in these areas or whatever. But no, no other presence other than myself, my coworker, and him in the building. And when we left, he said, it is haunted. He said, but he said, I think it clears itself. And there is a chandelier above like one of the doors, the entryways where the employees come and go. And he goes, That to me felt like it was a, he goes, What do you call it? What do you call it? And I said, Beacon. And he said, Yeah, like it's drawing them in. So it's almost this self-clearing, energetic, I'm gonna say vortex where you're getting these spirits in. They're a little confused because they don't know this space. And then they're being, you know, kind of transitioned on their own. And I told him, I said, my guide told me not to clear it. And he goes, I wonder if that's why, is because they're clearing themselves. So we talk about, you know, these interesting moments that we have on a day-to-day life without really thinking about it. But how cool is it that, you know, this our significant others are both picking up on these, these moments and they're able to go, no, I I see what you're saying.

SPEAKER_01 6:28

Yeah, and they're intuitive and they're actually stepping into their own intuition and saying, no, this is what it feels like to me. Right. And we can have these conversations and we don't feel like we're on an island in our own home. So I I do think that's really, really cool.

SPEAKER_00 6:44

Yeah, yeah. It was, it was really neat that he was able to kind of step into what I was experiencing, but he put different, he put a little bit of a different language to it that helped me kind of understand too why my guide said, nope, don't clear this. And it wasn't because it's a nope, don't clear it, it's because it's self-cleaning, essentially. Exactly.

SPEAKER_01 7:05

And that's true. As students in life, sometimes if it's just explained a little bit differently. I mean, I think in the last episode, you said something in a way, a difference between the third eye and the crown chakra, and it just hit differently than it has before. And I'm like, I'm not gonna forget that. So sometimes as students, we just need to hear it a different way.

SPEAKER_00 7:25

Right. And and him stepping into it, being, I I'm not gonna call him fresh because he's had experiences, you know, periodically throughout his life, but being so new to open, being open to it is really cool to see how how he is processing things.

SPEAKER_01 7:41

Yeah. No, and I've seen that with like cards when I'm working with Oracle cards or something. And I'll hold them up to someone who's relatively new, but someone who's in my life, and they'll be like, well, this is how it makes me feel. And I'm like, yes, that's your intuition speaking to you. So keep it up and you know, just look at them. I love it. Yeah, it's it's really kind of neat. It is. And I think this is a great segue into this conversation on spiritual clearings and energetic hygiene.

SPEAKER_00 8:09

I uh I was actually just about to tell you that I've got a little bit of a challenge for you later on today. And we'll we'll in in when we record ever, you know, again, I want to hear your feedback. Hopefully you'll give it to me before we record again. But, you know, I think we talked a little bit last week where I did a clearing on somebody at the end of the week last week. And I would like to see, to ask, to see if you're willing to tap in in meditation to see if you come up with anything additional that maybe needs to be cleared too. So I'll give you kind of a synopsis because I want to honor everyone's privacy. So I had someone reach out to me late last week and explain that they were really struggling with grounding and they were worried that they needed a clearing and that something was energetically going on with them. So my initial pull was actually very quickly, there is an attachment. I can feel it immediately just upon talking to them and just figuring out what was going on. Now, the attachment was affecting, is affecting their mental well-being. So they were feeling a lot of depression, having a hard time grounding, but it was not to the point where where they were in danger. Does that make sense? It does. So I was able to go out to the home and my guides had me bring a bunch of stuff. I have, I had this large gray, uh smoky quartz chunk that that always sat in my office behind me that my guide said it's time to pass this on to for them to keep in their home to help clear and ground. I said, okay. So I brought that with me. And when I stepped into the home, the home had a very airy energy. And, you know, we kind of talked about what there they were experiencing and all of that stuff. And when I got there, I could feel kind of an attachment around the root chakra. So slowing down that energy, preventing it from moving, you know, as it should, and immediately like began clearing that, like in talking to them, in, you know, getting a tour of the home and just making sure they were in balance. And when I left, I was actually very confident that everything was cleared because, you know, my guide told me, all set, good to go. Um, they actually reached out, yeah, Friday, and said that they were still feeling a little off and they weren't sure what was going on. So, what I'm going to say to this is that's not necessarily abnormal. After a clearing, sometimes it takes your energy, energetic body a minute to catch up, a beat because there's just so much happening in the energy body that it sometimes can take a week or so for you to kind of be fully cleared and everything like that. So we spoke earlier today, and you know, I'm I I told them that I'm going to sit in meditation this afternoon and, you know, go through the energy body again to make sure that there's nothing murky or nothing else happening there. So that's where I invite you, Michelle, to see if you would mind helping tap in and do that too.

SPEAKER_01 11:29

Well, you know, I definitely will. And I want to go back just a moment to the beginning of the story because you were getting ready to go meet them. And you had sent a message to us asking just for support. Not even support. I don't even remember how it was worded. And we're on different time zones. So it came in fairly early. I wasn't quite up yet. Don't worry, you didn't wake me up. My phone was on. Do not disturb. I assume everybody's is. Yeah, I was coming out of my sleep and I hadn't seen the message yet. And I got this clear image, and it felt industrial, whatnot. And that color gray really came through. A smooth, glowy energy, like a remodel energy came through. But I didn't know what it was. This image, I couldn't hold it for very long. So I just like tried to grab the few things I could see. And then I woke up, saw your message. I'm like, this is so weird. So I sent you what I had seen, and you were able to validate that that is all related to what you just experienced. Right. Which is so cool. And that's kind of how we work.

SPEAKER_00 12:41

Yeah. You and I. And I think I think that speaks to, you know, how much energy can travel and time and place don't necessarily matter as much as I think a lot of people assume time and place do. So I know you said an industrial feel, and and I I shared with you after, you know, meeting with this person that it sounds like the attachment that potentially was picked up was actually in an old industrial building. And that is where it kind of rode their coattails home. And the home had a lot of neutral grays and and colors throughout it, like tea it tans and grays. So that that was the conversation I think that you and I had too. Yeah. And then you just said you brought in like that gray quartz too.

SPEAKER_01 13:29

Yes, to that area. So like that that was what was coming through. But again, I woke up, or as I was waking up, this image came in front of me and I tried to hold on to it, but I just couldn't too long. But when you sent that message, I'm like, oh, okay. Now I know what this is about. So yes, I will definitely tap in and see if I feel anything going on. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 13:51

I mean, I I have kind of since speaking with them, had I I took a few moments and and I mean there I saw some murky energy, but nothing, nothing like I felt before. So obviously, again, invited archangels to rebalance that and and and all that jazz to make sure he's that, you know, he's doing what he needs to do to help this person. So okay.

SPEAKER_01 14:16

Well, do we want to take a few minutes to talk a little bit about some of these words that we're using, like energetic cleansing compared to an attachment? Do we want to kind of differentiate what those things are?

SPEAKER_00 14:31

Definitely. So do you want to tackle one and I'll tackle the other? Sure.

SPEAKER_01 14:36

Why don't I tackle spiritual attachments? I myself have had one, but it is an energetic influence that is not a part of a person's natural energy field. They often form during times of vulnerability, stress, grief, or emotional transition. And they do not imply weakness or wrongdoing on your part.

unknown 15:02

Right.

SPEAKER_01 15:02

And Chat GPT did help me with that definition because I wanted, like the other day, you're like, I want a concise one that will speak to the masses. Right. And that one just seemed to really fit perfectly.

SPEAKER_00 15:15

Yeah. And I love, I love that it says, you know, there's no wrongdoing on your part. And if you don't mind, I'm going to add to it a little bit because I think it's really important to understand how we can get any sort of spiritual attachment. It's nothing that we've done wrong. Usually you, I I love that you said it's we are in a state of vulnerability if and when it it potentially happens. Oftentimes, if it is a if it's an attachment of a spirit, they are attracted to something about our energy. So it could be a personality trait that we shared or could share it had the if they were still, you know, among us, something that they're really drawn to. So a great example of this would be a child attaching to a maternal person, somebody that's motherly, somebody that that exudes what what they are seeking or what they need to kind of feel safe. So it could be, you know, I've seen in the past, like several years ago, a gentleman that I was working with had an attachment, and it the attachment stemmed from the liking of a specific sports team. And it kind of went on from there. So they they both really liked, you know, said sports team, and the attachment kind of took off from there.

SPEAKER_01 16:37

Yes. And I know when I got my attachment, my place of vulnerability is I had gone into meditation and I was following up with one of my guides who happens to be my grandma. And we were in a place I would go as a child, and this energy attached to me. It's part of a story that keeps revealing itself. Unfolding. It keeps unfolding. So I know it was there. I think at the time I was going through what is it called? Training. Yeah. I was going through training, and that was the lesson of the month, spiritual attachment. So I think it was part of a lesson. And my guide was watching over me. So I think it was all safe, but I think it was like this is what it feels like. And you're gonna understand it maybe in the future. I'm still unraveling that. Um, but yeah, it was a place of vulnerability. I didn't seek it out, I wasn't doing like reckless behaviors, I didn't invite it in. Right. Um, it just wasn't a place where, although I protected myself before going into meditation, because you always, you know, set those protective barriers, but it came in.

SPEAKER_00 17:44

Sometimes we get these, we can get these attachments if there's a lesson in it for us too. So I'm not gonna say, I don't, I don't want any listener to listen to this conversation and go, well, if I'm protecting myself, is it not working? Am I doing something wrong? You know, I don't necessarily want this experience. If you don't want the experience, you're not gonna have it. So Michelle and I have both done training in readings and, you know, utilizing intuitive capabilities. And one of them was around attachments and energy clearing and stuff along those lines. And I think that in order to have the capability of clearing and understanding it, experiencing that is kind of a piece of it.

SPEAKER_01 18:35

It is. And I think we could do a total deep dive into spiritual attachments and maybe we will moving forward, like what it feels like, what you can do about it, things like that. But we'll just move on to like an energetic clearing. And perhaps when we talk about energetic clearing, we can talk about, dare I say, crossing over in that energy and how they're different.

SPEAKER_00 18:59

To me, an energetic clearing is going into a space and removing any sort of residual or existing energy and shifting it into the energy that you want it to be. So I say residual energy because oftentimes when people buy like new homes, for example, if it has been pre-owned by other families, you are stepping into somebody else's energy or somebody else's past. And if something traumatic happened there, or if there were a lot of fights, or if there's just imbalance of any sort, when you are in that space, you are sitting in that energy. You're sitting in that old stale kind of energy that that was there prior. Yeah, I think that answers that. It can be, it can be good, it can be bad, it can be, it can just be an energy that you don't feel good about, that just doesn't jive with you. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 19:54

And it's just kind of like spring cleaning. Like when you go in and you dust and vacuum your house, you get all the nooks and crammies, it's like that. It's just right cleaning out what's there. Right. Or what was there.

SPEAKER_00 20:08

Yeah. And and the thing is, is it doesn't mean a a space is haunted. It doesn't mean something necessarily bad happened there. What it usually will demonstrate is that other energy existed in the space before you, and you're probably feeling that that stuff. I know when my husband moved in with me, I had to do a full energetic clearing on my home to remove old energy from just the past. And that way we could build the energy that we want our house, our house to feel like. We want it to feel a certain way. And, you know, that that flowing space is important.

SPEAKER_01 20:51

Yeah, I remember a friend of mine asked me to tap into a home that she was staying at. And she didn't necessarily feel that it was haunted, but there was something going on there. And when I tapped in, the first thing I picked up, I'm like, I don't understand it. There's a lot of pacing and anxiety, like walking in front of the window, looking out, da-da-da-da-da-da like all these things that were going on in that front of the house, just this really anxious energy. And she talked to the owner of the house and could validate what that was all about. And so then you just bring it in, bring in love to clear it. And I mean, there's so many different ways that you can clear energy that isn't your stagnant energy, residual energy. It's just what feels right to you. And you don't need to bring a professional in to do it. In some cases, you do. Sometimes you might feel like you're overwhelmed by it, but something like bringing in sage.

SPEAKER_00 21:50

So I I'm gonna caveat Sage, and I'm I'm cutting you off, and I apologize. I'm happy you are because we had lots of these discussions, and I wasn't sure exactly where I was going with. It yeah, Sage is great for many different reasons. I I I'm gonna start by saying I am not against Sage. Sage also it clears the air, there's a lot more to it. If there is the potential of, I'm gonna say a haunting though, Sage is going to do nothing more than piss off the spirits you have in the home. It's interesting because I remember a while back everybody would swear by utilizing Sage to remove spirits. And what they would actually see is spirit becoming more active.

SPEAKER_01 22:35

And that makes sense. And this is a perfect time to interject, like earlier I said, crossing over. That's not exactly what I meant. So we have this residual energetic clearing, and then we have a haunting. How do those differ?

SPEAKER_00 22:48

So the residual energy or that kind of that type of clearing is just clearing old energy. Haunting would be spiritual activity, shadows that you see, things that are happening out of the corner of your eyes that you don't understand, things moving, randomly disappearing on you. When you like, you know, great example. And this is not a memory thing. This is a I put my keys in the same place I put them in every day, and the next day I went to get them, and they are not there. And they are in such a different space that I didn't even go into yesterday. I don't know what's happening. That's the kind of thing that you see with, I'm gonna say hauntings, an actual spiritual presence that that's kind of messing with you, impacting your mental health, impacting your sleep, those things. And and it doesn't have to necessarily be bad. It it can just be, you know, this thing's in my house and I don't really enjoy the energy. It needs to, it needs to be crossed over.

SPEAKER_01 23:46

Yeah, or this is in my house and I just don't know who it is. Like they're not doing anything. I just I need more information about it. Right, right.

unknown 23:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 23:57

Yeah. It's it's very interesting when you start to look at because uh essentially you can look at both hauntings and uh an energetic presence as the same thing. But one is someone that perhaps has passed that needs to be crossed over, where the other one is just stagnant energy from the utilization of the space. Because we have to remember everything is energy.

SPEAKER_01 24:20

Right. And one has a thinking mind and they're able to do this, the other one is just like a held memory or something like that.

SPEAKER_00 24:27

Right, right, right. And that's where you have, you know, the idea of resid is residual hauntings come in, is it's not necessarily intentional, but you know, every every night around X time, the spirit walks through the room because that's what they did when they were alive and lived in the space. You know, that's not bad. It's just like, oh well, there goes, you know, Georgia again walking through the living room because that's what she did when she lived here. And us live people, if we're seeing that or experiencing that energy on a regular basis, it might not bother us. But at the same time, Georgia should probably go home.

SPEAKER_01 25:06

Yes. And we probably just entered in a whole nother one. So you have energetic clearings, you have hauntings, and then the residual hauntings, which is kind of like that looped. There's no third process to it. They're just, it just happens because that's what happened in life and the house is holding on to that.

SPEAKER_00 25:25

That's it. And and that's and that's the thing is is they're all, you know, they're all so different and they they tend to be dealt with very differently. I I think kind of going back to doing an attachment clearing, because I did do, you know, do the one last week. What is always interesting to me is, you know, they after I had done the clearing, it I was there for maybe an hour. And the clearing piece, the actual act of sitting in meditation and making sure that I was doing the piece that I needed to do, took me maybe five minutes, maybe. And I think it really genuinely surprised them. And I I remember, you know, they they were like, why was it so quick? And I said, Well, I said it really wasn't. I said, I know it feels that way for you because you saw me sitting in meditation for maybe five minutes. Number one, I'm really bad at sitting still. Number two, the work starts as soon as you call me. As soon as you and I make that agreement that you need a clearing and that something needs to be shifted. Yep. And I have that permission, the work starts there. And I'm like, that's why this morning when I came here, I had very specific questions around what was coming through before I I actually arrived.

SPEAKER_01 26:36

Yeah, it's just amazing what the process is. And for every intuitive, every psychic, every medium, it's probably a little bit different. No two people do it the same way. Yeah. Some people will wall it off and block it off until they step into that space. But for some of us, it sneaks in, myself included, prior to reading or clearing.

SPEAKER_00 26:58

It's always interesting in the fact that I find I want it to step in a little bit before I get there. Because if I'm scrambling and doing all the work in that moment, it can be very overwhelming. I can do it, but getting the info from my guide ahead of time is always super helpful because then I know what my target is and I know what to bring. And I'm already clearing before I get there. So I don't need to spend as much time sitting in that quiet meditation because I'm already, I'm not, I'm not, it's not that I'm in it, but I've already been doing the work. Does that make sense? It does.

SPEAKER_01 27:35

I mean, you're gathering your tools, you're figuring out if you need any archangels present because they only come in when you you ask them for help. And quite honestly, if I were to go into a clearing in person, which I haven't done very often, and people watch me meditate, I don't think I could meditate. It's just a totally different vibe when you're there doing everything with an audience.

SPEAKER_00 28:01

I think it is. It is. And and you know, one of the things that we had started talking about a few minutes ago that I'm gonna kind of revisit is that idea of uh using sage. Because I I will bring sage with me occasionally, but I prefer Palo Santo. Number one, because it smells to me much better than sage. Much better. And number two, because it actually will aid in clearings more so than sage. At least I find it does.

SPEAKER_01 28:26

So yeah. And it's just that tool again, that you're stepping into what's gonna work for this one. I mean, in this particular clearing, it felt right to bring the gray quartz with you. I mean, you just knew ahead of time. It's not like you're like, oh, I'll drive back and bring that quartz later. Right. You knew about it, you felt it, and that's what you did.

SPEAKER_00 28:46

Right, right. And that's, you know, and at the end of the day, like I had a little toolkit with me that day. It was it was very interesting. The different things that that my guides had me bring. I'm an Archangel deck as well. I know I invited Archangel Gabriel, who I typically invite in when I'm doing clearings. Archangel Michael always when I'm doing clearings, and Archangel Muriel was one that I needed to invite in as well, so that I could actually, Archangel Muriel, if my memory serves, is there to help assist with understanding and knowledge. So he stepped in so that I was able to explain things in a way to this particular person so that they could understand. So when they called me back again, you know, this morning, they even said, I understand that I need to maintain my energy too, and that it's not just your responsibility to check in and clear. I'm just struggling with this still. And I like the that's fine. That's it's completely understandable, you know. And that's why we're I invited you to to check in that energetic field too.

SPEAKER_01 29:51

Yeah, no, I'm I'm very happy to do that and to help out. And really, again, a lot of times when someone has something going on in their house, they're feeling a certain way, they're not necessarily right off the bat, nor are we gonna know if it's an energy or a presence. Right. So that there's that total difference between them, the approach is different. I think this is a really good conversation to have. And I think we can go more in depth on all of this in a future episode. I agree. And I love that you were challenging me to do this, and I accept it because before coming on to this episode, I'm like, I need to ask Stacey just to take a peek at what's going on in my house. And maybe we can share that. Like my my house can be a little bit of a guinea pig for the the podcast if it's all good. Yeah, I'm kidding. And no, no pressures around it. I it I do feel like a very positive energy here, but there's energy, and I'm curious. So maybe we can set up a time to do that too.

SPEAKER_00 30:53

Definitely. I would love that. And I I mean, what a great spot to to step away and end this episode, though. I'm hoping that this this episode brings us some questions from our listeners because I think that there's a lot of just information that we threw out there very casually, too. Just very casually.

SPEAKER_01 31:12

Yeah, it's a great place to end this episode. So, Stacey, stay classy, stay sassy, and stay a little badassy.

SPEAKER_00 31:25

Until next time, everybody. Bye.
