Hi
I thought you might be able to give me some information on this.
Last night my husband and I were going to bed. Igor was in the bathroom and I came into the bedroom first. I got this smell of incense and it was very strong. It smelled of Church incense. I waited till Igor came in and asked him could he smell anything. He said incense. Now, I'm used to smelling roses and jasmine on different occassions but this is my first experience of incense and I am wondering what its relevance is.
We are presently staying with my parents untill we move into rented accomodation on 22nd, and they definitley don't use incense....I doubt they even know you can buy it for your home.
Recently one of my Biological mums' brothers died and I thought it might be him. I used to get along quiet well with him for the 2 years that I spoke to him over the phone but he became an alcoholic and started getting confused and troubled. So i don't think it would be the kind of scent associated with him but I don't know.
I just hoping you may have some ideas or thoughts on the matter.
Many thanks and kindest regards,
Adi

Hi,
Incense again on Monday night on my left should while we were in the garage. We were sitting down having a cigarette when all of a sudden the same incense smell from last week attached itself to my left shoulder. The garage door was open and it was a bit windy so the smell couldn't have been from in there it was very specifically on my left shoulder and lasted only about 5 minutes compared to the other night when it lasted at least 1 hour untill we fell asleep.
Any ideas anyone?

Hello there Adi and thank you for your message!
First may I give my apologues for my tardy reply and that I hope this message meets you safely and in good times…
So then where shall we start…
I’m taking this from a spiritual stance, and I’m sure that those of the more scientific point of view will in time give there own opinion and hopefully help you find your own truth for this situation.
For those that are not developed there innate ability or have not trained in the practice of medium ship, and encounter the attention of a discarnate being the entity will often attempt to communicate directly in symbols and ”message” that the receiver will understand on an intuitive level, instead of the vocal, direct visionary or spiritual archetypes, for reasons of simplicity and understanding so that the message can be received, understood and acted upon.
These messages will keep recurring until the message has being received or until the spirit form has used up most of its psychic energy, so promptness of action is sometimes vital, in your case the sense of atunemet and route of manifestation is the sense of smell, which from your comment is one that is already of high vibration and sensitivity to the spiritual sphere.
The sense of scent is one of the highest and most primal senses, located next to the eyes and thus the Anja chakra it comes second only to the ability of visual perception, the scent of frankincense even outside the lore of Christianity is one of the most hallowed and sacred resins that was available in the world of the ancients, its linked to the unified divine and the harmonic harmony of divine will, hence its usage in churches and rites of mortal passage.
If for a moment we step outside the boundary of logical approach and view this occurrence from one that has effected and impressed you on a intuitive level, we can see you’ve already connected it to both the relation with whom you had a bond with, that which had a painful progression before the transition and that of the rite of sacrament…
Perhaps if you or he is from a Christian background it may be of a beneficial to have a mass said for him? (Or the equivalent of your path)
Have you tried lighting some frankincense incense?
As this simple act may not only achieve the awareness of an acknowledgement of there presence, but also as a offering for there safe passage and guidance to the inner light of peace and the external light of universal love…
Some time’s a simple act of care and compassion is enough to give passage to the lost soul seeking forgiveness and comfort in the blackened shadows.
Sometimes in the all to often forgotten abyss, those no longer of the mortal coil will seek out those of sensitivity to aid there transition and guide there journey through the neitherland, that exerts both its boundaries within the mind of the individual and the soul of the being.
If the situation still presents itself after this you may need to take further action (of course only if you feel driven too) otherwise the simple acknowledgement and the grace of kindness is enough to end puzzling experiences and those that on some subconscious level connect you to the pain and suffering of others…
I wish you nothing but success and safety in this endeavour and hope you quickly find a tranquil resolution.
Feel free to let me know how this progresses and if there is anything else I can help you with, please feel free to ask.
Love and peace

Hi,
Thank you for your help. There have been some further developments.
Last Thursday my husband and I were in the garage having a cigarette after work and the light switched itself physicaly off. Just the one in the garage not the one outside the garage. We saw it physically move. So I switched it back on again. The same thing happened again. So I picked up a biro and asked if whoever it was wished to write something but to no avail.
I was talking to one of my half brothers last night and telling him what was going on and he said it definitely sounded like our uncle. Apparently he always had incense lighting and had a thing about switching off lights.
Well, we are going up to visit my bio-mum over Christmas so we will see if whoever or whatever wants to communicate with us. My whole blood family are sensitives some more so than others so it will be an interesting experience.
I'll keep you up to date on any more events.
Thanks again for your help.

Hi
Well just a little update on christmas. Moved into house and took Satoris advice to light Frankincense.
House was calm and peaceful even resident ghost Johnny behaved (as well as he can). Still was seeing flickers of some man when least expected but hoped all would be resolved when we went up too my relations.
We travelled up but "Uncle"~(??) didn't come with us. My Bio-mum said it straight away after we sat down to have a cup of tea. So we didn't try anything.......She is still very upset over the loss of her brother and also os a bit angry with him. She said she didn't want to talk about him.
We came back down on Thursday evening and have alot of disturbances and lost sleep since then with the exception of Tuesday night.
Don't know what to do now? Will get a mass said for him today as maybe thats what he wants, but I don't really know what else to do to help him find peace. We just keep telling "all" who share the house with us to behave.
Bye for now!
Adi
p.s. Thanks again Satori for incense advice

I'm going out on a limb here, but perhaps you should talk to your mum regarding why she's angry with him... perhaps that's one of the reasons why he's still hanging around, as it's said that ghosts are mostly here because they have unfinished business, if that makes sense at all?

Hi,
~I've tried that but she just doesn't want to speak about it................His death is still very raw to her which is understandable.
He has been hanging around me alot , I keep catching glimpses of him. I've asked him before christmas if he wanted to communicate through automatic writing but no joy there.
Its a bit weird to be followed around like this.
Thanks for your help though, if you've anymore ideas please let me know.
Regards,
Adi

Adi, at this present time I would think it unsafe to engage in automatic writing.
Considering that you are unsure of his true being, and that it may not be for certain your uncle, and that cases such as manifestation of thought forms, mimicking, projection of internalised grief etc have being put aside, there is a lot of repressed anger and unresolved emotions still present regarding him in the physical plane.
To open ones self up to such energies, as well as the psychological chaos that can be presented by such experiences and anomalies, can be both a hazardous and corrosive to an individual on a conscious, subconscious and even energetically level.
To actively attract the attention of a discarnate being, is often common with people sensitive to that realm of existence, and much like their prior existence in the living many beings focus on others and draw towards them chaotic and destructive patterns in order to gain a emotional response, and although sometimes past “karma” and patterns are evolved beyond, by new emotional attachments, it is not repaid by emotional martyrdom, so a swift and direct expulsion of any negativities both regarding him on a personal level to that of his present guise would most certainly be called for.
I agree with Andrew on this, people wherever we perceive them to be actively living or deceased can linger both psychologically as well as spiritually within our lives, when the ties that have being erected and constructed over time or in incidence of great emotion are so filled with negativities, we are often unaware of our own actions not allowing them to pass on, our own need for resolve is often cemented in a stagnant state when a party of the conflict passes over, as we naturally feel that this is a dispute that will never be allowed to pass as they are no longer there to witness both our words or actions in relation to how we feel…
In situations like this the only thing that can be done is to continue to give acknowledgement, blessing and time, so that all the parties involved may find there own sense of equilibrium, for it is not only the discarnate that is prevented from moving on but all those that hold onto the pain, sorrow and anger we often attract in our journey through life.
And perhaps as you see him, and he doesn’t wish to communicate its that he wishes only for a witness until the time that your mother is willing to talk about him, or at least wane the resolve in her heart and release both of them from the grip of the past.
I would keep up the burning of the incense, even if only for a supplication for his and your mother’s passage in such painful times.
Do let us know of any changes.
Love and Peace

Hi Satori,
I am in complete agreement with your feelings and opinions.......I don't really think there is much I can do. I definitley am keeping up the incense burning.......Lately he has been keeping watch over our gate for us on the house....Its a bit old and rickety but he likes to open and close it for us on the way in and out of the house. My poor husband is still a little spooked by him but he's getting used to him. My Bio ~Mum will be down in Cork for test in a week so if she mentions him I'll try and get her to open up but she will know when the time is right herself.
I keep sending thoughts to anyone or thing that is around us that there presence is sympathised with but any bad behaviour (spooking us out) is not permitted and will be dealt with efficiently.This seems to work relatively well and our resident ghost Johnny is beheving much better these days. I did alot of work on improving my sensitivity last year and I want to do everything the right way......nice and slowly.
Thanks again for your kindness and knowledge
kindest regards,
Adi :)

Hi
Just to let you know haven't been catching anymore glimpses of him in last 5 days did get a church incense smell in our livining room on sunday evening but it didn't stay long. All is quite on the range at the mo so maybe he's moved on or is satisfied that I can do no more on his behalf.......still going to keep the regular incense going though .....place smells great!!!
Thanks to everyone for help and advice and thoughts on my recent experiences. Its great to have people to share these occurences with and also to have good sounding boards.
Kindest regards,
Adi:)
