Someone even suggested to C's parent to
take her to see a child psychiatrist. I also jokingly told Penny that
I am no doctor. What we can do at the temple is just fan her (using
one of the talisman fan) to clear of any negative energy.
Anyhow before I left for the temple
from my home, suddenly there's an urge to bring Tai Shang Lao Jun
seal 太上老君印 with me that evening. After her friend arrive in the temple and
go through the usual offering of respect to various deities.
When her mother was carrying her in our temple main hall, I saw a green streak of qi between her eyes. Usually I can't and don't notice these type of signs unless the deities wanted me to notice it. Anyway, streak of green qi between the eyes, means that it is not possession or anything serious – just that she had a fright and possibly encountered some residue Yin Qi 陰氣 in Taoist terms.

After fanning her to clear of any Yin
Qi and also sealing her body with the seal, then her mum did ask me
some questions regarding how to do water offering for pretas and etc.
In the midst of our conversation, only I realized that they have been
'broadcasting' Amitabha mantra 24/7 for the past 1 year in their
apartment home. Usually these mantra devices can be easily bought at
chinese incense shop.
Their family does not have a altar at home, only praying to Tian Gong 天官. I explained to them, if they are into broadcasting mantra, they must at least being doing some form of Buddhist practice either morning or evening and also need to do dedication in their practice and also mantra broadcasting.

C's mother told me that it was her
friend that gave her the advice to broadcast mantras. I further
explained to her that because Amitabha's resolute is to help and
receive all sentient beings that chant his name in their final
moments of life. Many sentient beings who are in Bardo (state of
after death but before rebirth) are in a state of confusion as having
just being ejected from their physical body. They would usually be
drawn to wherever they can hear mantras or prayers.
As they are attracted to the sound of mantra's especially of Amitabha's mantra, those broadcasting it MUST do dedication to all sentient beings that have listened to the mantra. If not they will all gather and just wait, of course they DON'T have any intention to hurt or disturb anyone, but if lots of Bardo beings were to gather in a spot, then it will create an imbalance of Yin Qi for that particular area or home. Adding to the point that they are not doing any Buddhist practice, no home altar of any sort.

With that, I have taught C's mum and
dad to do a final dedication before turning off their mantra device,
herbs and sandalwood to clear their home of any excess Yin Qi and
some Taoist blessed salt to cleanse C's of any further Yin Qi if any.
The following morning, I have asked
Penny to follow up with C's mum and according to her, the daughter
slept through the night like a baby.
