Before you read on, forget everything you’ve seen in the movies about this topic. The administration of exorcisms like the ones dramatized in film and television is not what this blog post is about. Spirit attachments involving negative subtle energy fields, or other types of unwanted entities are quite common, and effectively dealt with if you seek the right help.
Spirit attachment is a phenomenon where a discarnate spirit or energy pattern attaches itself to a living person's energy field. This can happen for various reasons, such as the person being vulnerable due to substance abuse, anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem. Spirit attachment can also occur after a traumatic event, such as a car accident or a sudden loss of a loved one. In such cases, the person may be more susceptible to having a spirit attach itself as their energetic boundaries may be weakened.
Sometimes, these spirits start out as helpful guides, then overstay their welcome. They can be beings that were previously human, or they can be negative thought patterns or energy fields that started out as a psychic attack and grew deep roots in the physical body or aura.
The effects of spirit attachment can vary, ranging from mild discomfort to more severe symptoms such as mood swings, unexplained anger or sadness, physical pain or illness, and feeling like someone or something is controlling your thoughts or actions. Others might notice physical changes in the victim of the attachment, such as a shadow falling over the person, or changes in the voice or the color of the eyes. More common effects are experiencing constant failures in work or personal projects, or a feeling of being 'stuck' and unable to progress for an extended period of time.
Removing a spirit attachment typically involves working with a shaman or energy healer. The Holy Fire® lineage of Usui Reiki is uniquely effective at healing attachments and preventing future incidents. The healing is done by an experienced Reiki Master who channels the Holy Fire® energy to flow through and heal the entity, and ensure no other entities attach to the client again. This process is done with respect and forgiveness, and sends the entity to a higher level of consciousness where it can be fully healed and move on to a new and better purpose.
The best time to seek treatment for entity removal is as soon as possible after it forms the attachment. The longer the entity has been attached, the harder it will be to remove, and the longer the process will take.
To prevent spirit attachment, it is important to maintain a healthy energy field by practicing self-care, setting energetic boundaries, and seeking help when needed. Some techniques that can help include meditation, mind control, staying grounded, and using protective crystals such as black tourmaline, obsidian, or jasper. It can also help to recite empowering affirmations because they activate the throat chakra and strengthen your energy field.
If you feel you are plagued with an uninvited entity, the sooner you can schedule a healing session with a trained professional, the sooner you can get back to normal life. Recovery from this kind of energetic assault is possible, and will make you stronger and more resilient for the experience.
