Q:
Do I need to do anything to keep the ghost from coming back again?
A:
The answer to this question depends a bit on what you were dealing with, and whether you truly got rid of it or simply pushed the spirit temporarily away. What do I mean by this?
If the "ghost" you were trying to get rid of was really your spirit guide, you won't be able to "move it on." This is because it's supposed to be with you! Of course, it's usually easy to tell if a spirit is a guardian angel or not by whether it's been helpful to you or given encouraging advice and assistance. These spirits have already moved on to the light, completed their adjustment to the afterlife, and are now doing their self-chosen spiritual work.
If you have simply temporarily discouraged a spirit, pushed it away, then it could come back again. This is part of why it's good to help ghosts go to the light. Most of the time, once a ghost has finished going all the way to the light it doesn't come back again - except maybe to pop in for a quick visit, just to say "hi," especially if they were a friend or relative when alive.
Some people, whether consciously or unconsciously, enjoy the excitement of having a ghost and actually draw them in. In these cases, there can be a case of like-calling-to-like in terms of levels of energy. Negative entities do not tend to be attracted to happy, upbeat, spiritual individuals. Those who were addicted to alcohol, drugs, or other things when alive will tend to seek out living users to hang out with so as to get vicariously high. This can, in turn, have a negative impact on the living, encouraging them to over-use substances, and sometimes surrounding them with such a sense of depression that they began to feel very down without knowing why.
Finally, it has to be admitted that some people (especially those with psychic ability) act as involuntary ghost magnets. They attract them. This appears to be because psychics and spiritual individuals may show up as "brighter" lights (compared to other people) to those wandering lost in the spirit realm. The ghost you got rid of may be gone, but a new one could come calling. In these cases, it's good to make moving spirits on to the light a regular, weekly part of your everyday routine. Most psychics wind up doing this. It doesn't have to take a lot of time, trouble or energy. You just have to remember to do it.
