38 The Journal of Shamanic Practice VOLUME 5 ISSUE 2 FALL 2012 ground. Okay he said with authority. Here is what you have to do. Write it down. And he went on to prescribe a list of ceremonies to perform. But also ask her if she likes the color green and if she has green plants in her home because Akuras hates anything that is green and alive. They feed on darkness and fear. My client agreed to the treatment. I asked her Ipupiaras question. In a dis- gusted and curt voice she said I hate the color green. I never wear green clothes and never have plants in my home since they all die anyway. This gave me goose bumps. She is possessed. What did I get myself into I thought. I still doubted that I could suc- ceed in getting rid of her Akuras. We met the next night and after three subsequent sessions following the two Amazonian elders instructions her condition was completely reversed. She now wears and enjoys green cloth grows plants at home and more importantly has moved on nicely with her creative career and got engaged to a wonderful supportive man. Meeting the Wall Street Akura Sometime evil energy that is intended to hurt someone can be passed and spread from one generation to the next. Michael his fancy Armani suit and glass- es giving him an aura of business author- ity and success walked through my door one day. The diagnostic candle reading showed he was depressed and surrounded by strong heavy negative energies. What do you do for a living I asked. Oh I was on Wall Street he said sheepishly. I was one of those tough sharks. I had everything expensive cars women vaca- tions and I could afford everything my materialistic wife wanted. Then the nan- cial crisis began and I was red. My wife divorced me and my world collapsed. I started asking myself who am I why did this happen to me I lost 100 pounds I was over 340 at the time. Were you abused as a child I asked looking into the candle. Oh yes mentally and physically. I was too soft and sensitive and my father and two brothers constantly harassed me calling me sissy. I had to prove I could be more ruthless then them. And I did. I became a son-of-a-bitch I cheated and lied and I bullied everyone. I was greedy. I was possessed. I didnt care and I was good at it. He lowered his eyes looked to the side and quietly said I was eating compulsively. And I thought to hide and protect your true sensitive self. You know Michael I said the candle says you are a shaman a teacher on a spiritual quest. I bet you see spirits too is that right I asked. I do but what does that say about what Im supposed to do now And the big man across from me started crying a deep heart wrenching cry. Finally he let himself be reconnected to his lost kind and true soul. The evil energy that his father and brothers put on him in order to shame him and make him tough Mi- chael in turn used to harm others. But now that evil energy had nally left. A Pain in the Groin Joey a heavy-set man in his mid- fties was obviously in awful pain when he came to see me. He was moaning and squealing from a pain that spread through his groin. He was hardly able to walk. His girlfriend deeply worried about him brought him by cab from Queens. Looking at the candle ame I detected the spirit of his deceased aunt. She was angry and vindictive. She said she hated his mother and she took revenge by hurting her son. Yes. It is true he said. They were enemies ght- ing all the time. She was consumed by jealousy as she never had children of her own. We proceeded to do the limpia cleansing ceremony. I applied half a dozen eggs to extract his aunts spirit from his groin and convinced her to leave his body and move on to wherever she needed to go. Then I proceeded to cut the cords that were binding her spirit to his body. Joey got up from the chair with no pain. I instructed him to con- tinue to do more healing and protection work at home. A few weeks later he called again the excruciating pain was back. His aunt had come back with a vengeance. Did you do your homework I asked him. No he said. This time I went to his home did house energy clearing and per- formed another limpia ceremony. This time it worked. Shedim Ve Ruchot One time I was visiting the graves of my parents in a cemetery in Israel placing stones on the grave and making prayers when I suddenly fell into a deep reverie or meditation. I saw hundreds of faces of men women and children young and old swarming all around me like a group of jellysh in a dark ocean of anger and frustration. Le kol ha shedim ve haruchot I thought to myself which is a Hebrew expression that means To all the devils and the spirits. I thought Where am I Who are those people Do I know you I asked. I could see the hollowed sad and angry eyes the rotten facial esh and the mutilated bodies mouths twisted with horrible ex- pressions and the exposed teeth peering under their stretched ashen skin. Their faces reached even closer whispering in my ears in rasping voices like stormy wind blowing through the cracks of Ve- netian blinds. Oh this is terrible I said to myself. My stomach turned upside down and unexplained fear overwhelmed me. I yelled at the bodiless faces. Waving my hands in the air I fought the swarm of circling faces begging them to leave me alone. But they paid no attention to my requests and kept on with their un- wavering motion surrounding me from all sides. I heard them telling me that
