They called me and I cleared it. That was my favorite because I could see what that apartment would look like when it wasn’t fire damaged. Someone walks into a space, they have an immediate reaction. They feel like, Oh, I like this. Or, I don’t like this. They haven’t even looked at it. It’s because they’re reacting to the energy of the place. When I do this for realtors and you get rid of the negative energy and the low-vibration energy, they go into the place already liking it. This apartment makes me feel good.
There were a couple times when there were super creepy things that if I didn’t know what I was doing, I could have been in trouble. These really negative energies feed on fear. You feel them. They feel horrible. I don’t see, just feel it. I’m almost glad I don’t see it. It feels so horrible. It’s very easy to go into fear. It would scare anybody. Sometimes you feel it right when you go in and as you go through. Sometimes it feels so bad in a place, in an entrance way, I do a general clearing.
Of course, there was a little miscommunication getting me the address. I finally get the address, and I still had no idea. I just had the number and the street. Then I get out of the subway, and there’s a lot of press vans. I still am thinking nothing, because this is New York City. This is in Manhattan. I’m like, Oh, something must have happened. Then there’s cops. Then there’s crowds of people. I’m just looking around, I’m looking up. I’m like, As long as we’re all safe here, this is okay.
When I got out of the elevator, the elevator guy was like, “He just lives two flights up,” from where I was doing the clearing. When I got into the apartment I said to my friend, “Did you make this connection that I just made this second that I’m doing an energy clearing right below Trump’s apartment on election day?”She’s very spiritual too, and so she was like, “This is so meant to be. You so need to be here today.
I recommend Motörhead’s Ace of Spades album at 11 to exorcise the demons.
Fuck. Off.
