When the evidence becomes overwhelming, When author Rich Newman first arrives at the battered doublewide trailer deep in the Mississippi Delta, it’s clear that this is no ordinary haunting. Called from Memphis to assist a local ghost hunting team, long-buried memories from Newman’s own past come back to haunt him—memories he’d rather forget. Collecting physical evidence, researching the violent history of the property, Newman’s investigation of the Martin house has become his most terrifying and mysterious case. What starts out as a malicious assault manifesting as deep rumbling sounds quickly spirals into a story of obsession, and sorting through the spiritual implications of demons
more peaceful state of being and a
relaxed mind that, unless you are allergic, can be used
whenever you wish. My personal favorite is chocolate.
Although chocolate is primarily used as an aphrodisiac, it also an excellent mood-shifting food to bring relaxation
and a sense of peace as long as it is used in the proper
manner. If you wish to use chocolate, please find the best quality chocolate you can with the highest cacao content
(the active ingredient) and use it with a magical intention.
Don’t just eat a candy bar or drink a mocha while typing
(as I am doing right now) and expect much of a change.
You might feel a bit better, but a more profound shift will occur if you make your magical use of chocolate into a
small ritual.
Secret Potion of Delicate Harmony
What is this mystic secret elixir? It’s hot cocoa. Aren’t
I dramatic? I couldn’t help myself. But, I’m serious. If
you put the proper intention and effort into it; you can

turn ordinary hot cocoa into a strong relaxation-inducer.
There is a bit of caffeine in chocolate, but it is balanced out by the tryptophan in the chocolate and also in the
milk; tryptophan is an amino acid which has an effect of
drowsiness and relaxation, since it helps create serotonin and melatonin in the body. Both are natural chemicals
that have a calming effect. Like I said before, use the best quality cocoa you can find. If possible, use unsweetened
chocolate powder and add sugar on your own. This will
create a stronger blend than prepackaged hot cocoa mix.
The most effective method is to charge the choco-
late, the sugar and the milk separately for relaxation and harmony, then warm the milk on the stove slowly. As the
milk is warming, mix the sugar and chocolate together
and then gently stir the mixture into the warming milk.
I am not going to give precise measurements here as hot
cocoa, like coffee, is a highly personal affair where people vary greatly in preference. Some people like really sweet; some like extra chocolate, and others prefer a thin cocoa.
I will leave it to personal preference and experimentation.
After the drink has been prepared, pour it into a fa-
vorite mug or cup and sit in a comfortable place and enjoy the cocoa. It is very helpful while sipping the cocoa, to do a grounding exercise such as visualizing that you grow
spiritual roots into the ground and that all your frustra-
tions and any negativity are pulled out of you through the roots and reabsorbed into the earth.

A ‘Healthy Food’ Alternative for Harmony
If cocoa is not your thing, or if you simply want another
method to create a peaceful state, here is a healthful salad.
Lettuce has many relaxing properties. Indeed, the hearts
of lettuce are gently sleep-inducing if eaten. The follow-
ing recipe is a nice blend of flavors that will have a relaxing effect.
Harmony Salad
• 1 part romaine lettuce
• 1 part iceberg lettuce
• 1 part red-leaf lettuce
• ½ cup grated zucchini
• ¼ cup cheese of your choice
• 1 Avocado, diced
Shred and mix the lettuce with the zucchini, cheese
and avocado then, top with the following dressing.
Harmony Vinaigrette
• 3 parts olive oil
• 1 part apple cider vinegar
• 2 pinches salt
• Dash pepper
Harmony 91
Place all ingredients into a jar with a tight-fitting lid
and shake all ingredients together until well mixed. Pour
over the salad and stir the salad a bit before eating. If
desired, you could use some of the Four Thieves’ Vinegar
from Chapter 4 on page TK in place of the plain cider
vinegar called for in this recipe. Just don’t use a store-
bought Four Thieves’ Vinegar in food as some have ined-
ible ingredients.
Food is a wonderful means of changing the body and
mind; drawing it/them away from harm and disorder and
helping it/them to return to a state of balance. I love food and it is one of my favorite methods of creating change.
