If you tried everything, including MAJOR running water like a stream, I would try visiting a Tibetan lama.

These guys have crazy esoteric knowledge and do deal with this all the time wlth success.

Might I ask what type of knowledge and abilities they have and where I can find those that are high in cultivation? Because I understand that not all groups have spiritual abilities.

You would need to find a lama of the Kagyu, Sakya, Nyingma, or Gelug school of tibetan buddhism

Tibetan lamas have numerous tools and techniques including the use of the phurba.

Sounds rather phallic.

Yes, the phurba is phallic. They also use a bell, and the bell is not phallic ...

Some Wiccans symbolically put the dagger - they called it "athame" - into the chalice.

I wasn't trying to de-rail the thread, but I do admit it was fun.

Unfortunately, I have met a few Lamas and they basically seemed like regular people even though they were Tibetan. My guess is that there are exceptional Lamas just as there are exceptional Priests and Rabbis, and the important thing is finding the right person to work with you.
