Healing Haunted Histories tackles the oldest and deepest injustices on the North American continent. Violations which inhabit every intersection of settler and Indigenous worlds, past and present. Wounds inextricably woven into the fabric of our personal and political lives. And it argues we can heal those wounds through the inward and outward journey of decolonization. The authors write as, and for, settlers on this journey, exploring the places, peoples, and spirits that have formed (and deformed) us. They look at issues of Indigenous justice and settler “response-ability” through the lens of Elaine’s Mennonite family narrative, tracing Landlines, Bloodlines, and Songlines like a braided river. From Ukrainian steppes to Canadian prairies to California chaparral, they examine her forebearers’ immigrant travails and trauma, settler unknowing and complicity, and traditions of resilience and conscience. And they invite readers to do the same. Part memoir, part social, historical, and theological analysis, and part practical workbook, this process invites settler Christians (and other people of faith) into a discipleship of decolonization. How are our histories, landscapes, and communities haunted by continuing Indigenous dispossession? How do we transform our colonizing self-perceptions, lifeways, and structures? And how might we practice restorative solidarity with Indigenous communities today?

"Healing the Haunted probes into the capacity of healing towards land trauma. It defines land trauma as a reflexive process that is rooted in the perspective of topophilia—the affective bond with one's environment. Human extractive activities that cause physical ecological violence have led to trauma on the land, which can result in a disconnection between people and their environment, leaving negative effects on the mind and body over the long term. The tangible or hidden wounds lead to an unsettling encounter with the ghost, turning topophilia into topophobia. To calm the haunting apparition, this thesis suggests healing man-land bond along with healing the land itself. By seeing the body as the medium between physical and psychic mending and reconstruction, the proposal seeks to reunite people and land through body-engaged ceremonial interventions spatially and temporally. By employing walking and tending of land as a form of embodied stitching, the phased repairing process considers the landscape a mnemonic device inscribing man-land interactions. The intervention will serve as the retrieval process of the past and the burial ritual of the loss, meanwhile a stitching and repairing process that associates people with land in a reciprocal and resilient way. As argued in this thesis, healing serves as a two-way restoration process that repairs land and people simultaneously. The past emphasis on ecological techniques in land reclamation has neglected community needs, long-term human commitment, and broader impacts of environmental degradation, failing to address the source of land trauma deeply rooted in the separation between nature and humans and bereft stewardship of the land. By incorporating humanistic care and involving the local community in the restoration process, we are supposed to witness and remember the land trauma and view the land as an extension of ourselves and vice versa. In this way, we breathe together, resonate together, and heal together." -- abstract.

While it's clear that these wavelengths are sensed, albeit unconsciously, by other living beings, the question of whether our minds still convey energy after our death, or whether such energetic charges can permeate inanimate matter, and cause it to resonate, have yet to be researched, scientifically. Healing Houses details Sheldon Norberg's two decades as a professional psychic whose career has focused on houses where the death, disease, or trauma of a prior owner left not only ghosts, but rationally inexplicable phenomena and physically palpable sensations for his clients to live with. While many of us find ourselves unable to stop thinking, those who can't suppress their ability to feel often find their homes convey unpleasant information, which in some situations can be overpowering. In reporting dozens of his cases, Norberg explains how the energy patterns of previous inhabitants affect the current residents; and more than that, how current models of physics agree with this concept. He also details the intuitive processes he uses to shift these patterns and restore energetic balance, presents a broad cross-cultural perspective to his work, and gives readers basic meditations for working on their own. "People whose homes hold lasting impressions of the deaths or trauma of the previous owners can be seriously affected, and admitting to it can put them at odds with rationality" says Norberg. "Ghosts or no ghosts, my clients find themselves affected by the negative feelings of their new homes, and frequently adjust their lives to suit these feelings." Healing Houses maps out a sophisticated metaphysical perspective and traces its development through case studies of dozens of the houses Norberg has worked in during his 20-year psychic career. Whether discussing his training in the feminine first field of Intuition Medicine, giving a global overview of house healing practices, or offering house healing basics to his readers, Norberg's wry wit shines through. But it is his compassion, for his clients, their homes, and for those whose remnant energy has manifested in some unforeseeable way, that makes this book a healing odyssey. Beginning with Transcendental Meditation at the age of ten, Sheldon Norberg's lifelong interest in states of consciousness led to a number of studies that helped organize his professional practice. After completing his Master of Intuition Medicine training at the Academy of Intuition Medicine, he earned his BA in Psycho-Spiritual Healing at San Francisco State University. His deep interest in consciousness and health led him to extensive practice in meditation and energetic healing, as well as yoga, sensory deprivation, ritual and divination. He has been featured in such media as The New York Times, New York Magazine, Booklist, The San Francisco Chronicle, and The San Francisco Examiner. "Sheldon has a unique intuitive skill set - the ability to detect and identify energy patterns held within a space. Along with this, he has formulated a process to shift aberrant energy patterns in order to induce clarity. Some intuitives heal people- Sheldon heals houses." Francesca McCartney, PhDFounder, Academy of Intuition Medicine & Energy Medicine University Psychic house healing is very serious work. I recommend anyone with an interest in energy healing in general, or in healing houses in particular, to read this book. You will walk away with a much clearer understanding of how we interface with our homes, and the contracts that we enter into with them. August 2010 Bonnie Cehovet
