Sorry, I missed this one. John might have some better ideas, but, well, elsewhere he recommended a ritual bath. Cold water with salt and some other ingredients I don't recall (vinegar? A small amount of sulfur?). If it were me it would be a cold bath with some sea salt. Say an exorcism and a blessing over the water and the salt ("Creature of water, be purified of all that is dark. Be filled with light so that I may be cleansed and made whole" Along those lines). Immerse fully and visualize, will and intend that anything negative is washed off. Then take a bucket of this water, letting the rest go down the drain. JMG suggests dumping the bucket on the lower portion of a tree. For me, I'd just dump it out on the ground, with the intention that anything negative in the water be given as food to lower entities that are striving for evolution. A little treatise on dowsing I read by a German ceremonial magician suggests the removal of negative magnetism in the following way. Stand erect, feet separated. Run your hands down your body from your scalp to your feet letting your finger tips brush your skin lightly. Then stand and shake your fingertips as if you had something on them you were trying to shake off. Repeat with the front of your body. Then, as best you can, behind you for your back. Then wash your hands in cold running water. Either way, after you are done, clear your mind of all attachment to the person. No loving thoughts. No thoughts of animosity. Just... let them go. and then try to stay neutral toward them. Forgive my presumption in answering this way a question of this nature on this forum. I hope it was helpful.
