homemade healing and cleansing rituals

my son has been troubled by a dark shadow/spirit lately so about 5-7 nights ago as he lay asleep on the couch (he was scared to go to his bedroom), i held my hands hovering over him and meditated and concentrated, attempting to draw away fear from out of his body and pushing light and confidence into his body. i probably used about 10 minutes on it. after that he hasnt said that he has seen anything scary.

to reinforce this, yesterday i lit some incense and went into my sons room. i walked clockwise around the room pushing the smoke towards the wall and saying:

spirits troubling my son X
choke on this smoke
go away, you cannot stay

how to cleanse a ring of energy

i was watching the norwegian tv show studio fem - den andre siden last night and a lady on the show was ill and she gave her ring to 2 psychics on the show, gro helen tørum and lena ranehag, and they said the ring was filled with an enormous amount of energy, both bad and good, and that this might be what is causing this woman to be ill or at least compounding her illness. the ring is old and has been worn by several generations of women in this womans family so all their energy has been trapped in the ring. lena ranehag said that if you want to clean the ring of its stored energy then you put it in water with a spoonful of chunky salt (unground [grovsalt in norwegian]) and let it sit overnight.
