Do you scare away spirits and monsters like the olden times or are you more modern and invite them in?

Do some yoga, but try to take the sun out of the Surya Namaskar. Might be helpful.
Do it, for the ritual, not for the supposed deity. And remember ' what you think, makes you who you are,' so that would be easy if you know where You are coming from.

My therapist has told me to become friends with them so I hang out with them every evening now.

Maybe I scare them away by looking at them.

Depends.

I scare everyone away .period .


Mmmuuuhahaha!

I get the Ngangkari to smoke out evil spirits when I feel it necessary. And if he's available of course.

I salt and sage TF outta them MFers.
