Spirits Use Smell to Get Our Attention
I am unable to explain the sickening smell of cigarette smoke throughout my town house. I am a non-smoker. My investigation began about a week ago, when I returned home from shopping. As I opened the door from the garage to the downstairs hall, I immediately detected the stench of cigarette smoke. Since there hasn't been any cigarette smoking in my home for the past twelve years, I suddenly surmised that a burglar was probably at work upstairs. Slowly but very cautiously, I checked-out the downstairs, then moved up to the main floor. Nobody here either. If a burglar was here he would surly be on the top floor. As I had been burgled some several years ago, I hesitated. Should I call the police? Should I get my baseball bat from the lower floor? I couldn't decide what action to take. I quietly waited and listened. There was not a sound, but the smell of cigarette smoke was beginning to cause me to gag. After what seemed to be an hour, it was in fact only a few minutes, I slowly made my way up to the top level. The guest room was my first entry. No burglar or sign of any intruder here. I moved a bit quicker, but with continued caution, moved from room to room. No intruder and no burglar, caused me to assume the burglar had come, burgled and exited my home. I wasn't frightened any longer, but another fear came upon me. What was missing? What was stolen? I checked and rechecked the entire house. Nothing was gone. Nothing was even disturbed!
Something was out of sorts and my first inclination was my new neighbour. What kind of cigarettes do you smoke Sully? Why I haven't smoked in years. Why do you ask, he exclaimed? I briefly told Sully my story. I haven't had any company since moving in either, he said. The smoke must be coming from your neighbour on the other side, Sully quipped. No, I've been taking care of John and Lonnie's home while they are away, I said. There was only one other place where the smell could come from, the bush behind my property. Some under-age kids must be in there smoking. I went upstairs and gazed out my bedroom window onto the bush. Ahha, I said. As I saw something move... I rushed to get my binoculars. Two blue jays were playing or mating or whatever. I eliminated all the possibilities that I could think of, then decided to call my wife.
Sharon , I've got a problem and I know only a sleuth like you can help me solve it. By the time I finished my story she interrupted and said, It's your mother! I immediately replied, You mean her spirit or ghost? She then went on to tell me that she also smelled cigarette smoke in her home only yesterday. What else could it be I said?
Tonight there's a slight breeze outside and all of my windows are open. In spite of this, the entire house simply reeks of cigarette smoke. What do I do next?
Oh yes, one other thing. My mother of eighty-nine years, passed away on February 21st of this year. She was a heavy smoker up until a few years ago, when she entered a medical centre for the aged.It's all up to you now my friend. How do I get rid of this sickening smelly cigarette smoke?
So, this is very likely your Mother, trying to let you know that she is around... a good way to get your attention, she probably felt that you disapproved of her smoking...So, the first thing I suggest is that you address her directly... something like, "OK, Mom, I know you're here now, do you have a reason for coming just now, is there something you want to say?" Then listen, notice whatever thoughts feelings or sensations come up - let your imagination play, see what comes up... usually there's some purpose in these visits, something Mom wants to resolve or tell you about, or some event coming up that she wants you to be prepared for, or just to be able to tell you she loves you and know you realized it was her around... You could tell her also that the smell is disturbing and ask her if she could send the smell of roses when she's around instead... Hope that helps some, Lotsa LLLove, Danielle
