My kitchen
Advertisements [?]So I quit driving for the most part. One of the benefits is that I haven't felt road rage in almost three years, and I don't get annoyed by traffic jams anymore.
Once in a while, I do drive, and when something happens where I might be in danger (like I get cut off in traffic) I get an adrenaline rush up my arms. It's nothing huge or terrifying or even disorienting, I can simply feel my body doing what it does to react quickly to danger. Tingles on the forearms, maybe a tightening in my gut. In fact I think I used to be this stressed all the time, so much I couldn't feel it anymore, and it's remarkable how calm my life is today. Just because I quit driving.
What does this have to do with my kitchen? Well that same sensation of needing to react to danger is happening, this adrenaline shot, when I am simply standing in my kitchen. Again, it's not a panic attack, just a perk. Danger. What's that? Look out.
I live in an old home and a friend told me he saw a ghost in my office recently. I don't care about that, I'm cool and welcoming about all that and hope they like what they see. But I _have_ joked for years about there being a 'vortex of negativity' in my kitchen because I tend to sink into lousy and intractable moods while standing in front of my sink washing dishes. That happened to my husband once too. But rationally speaking it could be because the counter's slightly too low and that stresses my back, I am not fond of washing dishes by hand anyway, and standing there doing your 52% makes it easy to think about your better half's 47% if you know what I mean...
But now I'm wondering if my joke has something to it. Danger. Look out. Just on a whim I checked sunspots - my house's electrical system gets weird in solar storms - nothing much.
What should I do?

3. You may find it useful to check for any entities around that need a hand crossing over

This is what I do. If you like use it and adapt it to suit or use another method altogether. I ground, shield, and ask for all beings of divine light who are willing to help any entities around go to the place that serves their highest good. Then I offer Reiki and good vibes to the beings of light to relay to the entities if it serves their highest good. On occasion I have actually felt unpleasant entities' energy change as the beings of light heal them from hostility to happy disbelief to joy and finally a nanosecond fast flash of something truly AWEsome as they cross over. Makes me wish I had Sight to see that moment and not just empathy!
Also please consider working with the energy of the land where your home is. For a long time I neglected to do this myself and found it really makes a difference in the quality of energy in my home. When I come home I feel welcomed by the spirits who care for the plants, wildlife and the land itself. I regularly send them Reiki as well as including the property when clearing the energy.

4. Ooh, disapproval--I think I know what you mean!
We have a ghost in our present home (different house from the one I mentioned before) who apparently was around during Prohibition and was quite the teetotaler. I can't tell you how many wineglasses she "helped" us bobble and drop--one, Mr. MG still swears, just "exploded" in front of him, and it was a really thick handblown goblet that couldn't possibly shatter like that. She finally let us keep our remaining few wineglasses after I had a little heart-to-heart with her in the kitchen and asked her not to break any more.
Anyway, feel free to PM me anytime! And as our teachers used to say, "No question is a dumb question!"

Sometimes when I feel like killing someone, I do a little trick to calm myself down. I'll go over to the person's house and ring the doorbell. When the person comes to the door, I'm gone, but you know what I've left on the porch? A jack-'o-lantern with a knife in the side of its head with a note that says "You."
After that, I usually feel a lot better, and no harm done.

But Christ is for the 'bitter' and those that can't deal with reality? Why do I get the feeling this particular individual watched too much Anime (and took it WAY too seriously)?

"......'vortex of negativity' in my kitchen because I tend to sink into lousy and intractable moods while standing in front of my sink washing dishes....."
Must be a 'vortex in my kitchen too because that happens to me whenever I wash dishes........ 'bout once a year........but hell, I can live with it. I only do dishes when the dishwasher has to work late.:-)

That explains a lot. There is a vortex of negativity in every airport in the world.
