"Exorcism"!

One of my friend needed us to attend one of her prayer session in her house this morning. While the reason of the prayer is to move the altar from the porch into the house, the "main" reason was something else.

There are 2 beds in her room currently. One that she is sleeping in while the other one has been empty for a long time. We used to gather in her house and had sleepovers while we were in our secondary school. Her house used to be the IT place for us girls to have a girls' night out, or just simply a place to hang out, have barbeque or even steamboats. Whenever we were there, we will occupied her room and slept in that empty bed and have long nights talks.

A few days ago. she called and asked us if we would like to join her for the prayer session. Since she was in the subway while asking me, she did not tell me the main reason of the prayer session. The next day she called up again but this time telling me the main reason for it.

Apparently since the bed has been emptied for such a long time, there is currently a spirit occupying that place! Gulp! One fine day, one of her mother's friend who has the ability to see spirit, went over to her house for a singing session and saw that. Hence she told my friend to better have a prayer session to request the spirit to leave the place. After she knew about the spirit, she even had dream of her too! In her dream, the spirit was a she and dressed in red. Scary!!!

And in order to change the yin qi which is surrounding the place, the "guru" had actually requested her to ask close friends of hers to go to the prayer so to gather strong qi for her. Plus, she also has to gather some male friends in order to strengthen the yang qi in the house too.

So this morning at 9, we gathered at her house and all seated obediently while the guru performed the "exorcism". Before he stared, he told us carefully not to venture outside the "circle" or it might be dangerous. I was nervous! I mean i have never been into any exorcism ever (touch wood for that)! And during the prayer, we were told to have only positive thinking, follow the chanting if we can, and do not think of anything else, especially never to utter any words about the spirit. So we followed obediently.

I didnt even dare to take any photos. I am a free thinker. Although i believe that one should not be afraid if one has never done anything bad but hey, i really do not want to have any real encounter with any spirit! I am not too sure if there are really any spirit and i do not want to prove that neither.

However, during the whole prayer, it came to me that the only proven thing for the day is how strong the loves were. Both her parents were very worried and they were all busy preparing and running around the house making sure that the whole prayer will performed smoothly. Her siblings did help out too and since it was difficult to gather friends in such a short notice, her siblings also asked for help from their friends. Even the parents' friends and relatives were there too. All these could only prove that nothing is more important and greater than love itself. It is during "critical" time like this that love will be the strongest tie ever, and love will be the best solution to any problem.

And the morale of the day is, love conquers everything. I am sure she will turn into a new leaf after today because she is now blessed by all her loved ones.
