As I posted previously I've had some experiences that I believe show that I am sensitive to spirits. This weekend I've decided to try my hand at communicating with a presence I have felt that I personally believe is either attached to me, my boyfriend or our house. I've felt it especially in our bathroom (which, on a side note, makes showering really awkward sometimes). It also tends to be in our bedroom, which is adjacent to the bathroom.
I don't get the sense that this is anything harmful, but I did want to ask for opinions/tips on what to add to my attempt at communication.
This is my plan (essentially):
- Using the bedroom (the closet is mirrored on the outside)
- Envisioning a "bubble" to protect me (I've been practicing for the past week and a half)
- I plan to outline questions as to not invite anyone/anything that is unwanted
-In case I don't see/hear any answers I plan to have my tape recorder going. It's a basic tape recorder that I purchased for class lectures. It will run for 90 minutes.
- When asking questions I plan to pause for a full minute between to allow for answers
- I plan to turn the lights off and burn candles instead.
-I intend to do this at night, partly because my skeptic boyfriend will likely be busy with playing Civilization 5

If any of you have suggestions as far as improving the safety of this attempt please do share. I'm particularly interested in any way to denounce evil. I am not a follower of any particular faith, but more spiritualist and I'm kind of confused on what I should call on to help keep any evil away. Would saying "Any malicious spirits or entities with bad intent are not welcome in this house" be sufficient?
I look forward to any tips. And if I am successful I'll be sure to share the experience
