A spirit attachment is a phenomenon where an entity, spirit, or energy becomes connected to a person, often causing disturbances in their physical, emotional, or mental well-being. There are many types of “dark entities” and a hierarchy to these beings as well. However, when it comes to attachments, it boils down to two categories. Human or non-human spirits. Identifying what you’re dealing with changes the approach to removal.
Things will escalate to a very dark place when dealing with a demonic attachment.
Non-demonic entities, such as human spirits are capable of ‘jumping’ or briefly possessing someone as well. It is not always their motivation for attachment, however. Humans, dead or alive, are more complex than demons. We’re emotional and can form attachments for the same reasons in the spirit as in the flesh. There doesn’t need to be a malicious motive to have a negative effect. It will be very draining to have long-term spirit attachments around, even if unintentional.
There can be similarities between the effects of demonic oppression and a spirit attachment. When dealing with demonic entities, these early signs are what’s known as the oppression stage. The oppression stage is meant to break down one’s mental and physical defenses, creating an opening for possession.
Signs that may indicate demonic or spirit attachment include:
- Sudden and unexplained mood swings or changes in behavior.
- Feeling a presence around you, even when you are alone.
- Unexplained physical sensations, such as tingling, pressure, or cold spots.
- Persistent, intrusive thoughts; often negative/harmful.
- Changes in sleep patterns, such as insomnia or frequent nightmares.
- Feeling drained of energy or fatigued for no apparent reason.
- Hearing voices or experiencing other auditory hallucinations.
- Objects moving on their own or other unexplained physical phenomena.
- Intense or irrational fears, phobias, or feelings of anxiety.
- Difficulty concentrating or focusing, as if something is distracting you.
It is important to note that these signs can also be attributed to other factors, such as mental health issues or environmental stressors. Seeking medical advice and screenings is always the best place to start. It’s also important to note the presence of mental health issues, addiction, and/or other environmental stressors does not eliminate the potential for spiritual activity. In fact, it could attract and exacerbate the activity. Confirmation of one problem does not negate the existence of others.
What’s the Difference Between Negative Spirits & Demonic Entities?
Distinguishing between a negative spirit and a demon can be challenging, as both entities can exhibit similar behaviors and effects on individuals. However, there are some key differences to consider, starting with their intentions.
Negative human spirits are human souls that have not moved on to the afterlife. While they may cause disturbances or discomfort, their initial intentions may not have been malevolent. They could be lingering due to unfinished business, trauma, or attachment to a specific place or person. However, staying here and acting out whatever trauma has stunted them will only pull them deeper into a state of anger. Others may have been horrible people in life and remain that way in death. In contrast, demons are malevolent entities with malicious intentions, seeking to cause harm, chaos, or destruction. They were never humans; in fact, they hate humans.
How The Entity Manifests is Also a Clue
Negative spirits may communicate through subtle signs, such as noises, cold spots, or moving objects. They may also affect individuals emotionally or mentally, causing feelings of fear, sadness, or anxiety. Often, what they felt at their time of death will be what’s projected onto the living. With a human spirit, the haunting is rooted in their own issues.
Demons, on the other hand, exhibit more extreme manifestations, such as physical attacks, possession, or manipulation of energy. Demons can also shape-shift; they’ll take on the form or voice of someone living in the home. There will always be something ‘off’ about it, though. It won’t ever be able to perfectly mimic someone; usually, it will hide its face. You’ll only catch glimpses—just enough to make you think you’re going crazy.
The Response to Intervention & Holy Objects
Negative spirits may respond to spiritual interventions, such as prayers, rituals, or energy clearing, and eventually move on to the afterlife with assistance. Demons, however, are resistant to spiritual interventions and religious artifacts. They have nowhere to “move on” too and need to be cast out. They may end up requiring more intensive or specialized methods of removal, such as exorcism.
The Type of Energy the Presence Brings
All negative entities have a lower vibrational energy and may feel heavy, dense, or stagnant. You may feel ‘foggy’ and/or drained quite often. Demons are associated with intensely evil and oppressive energy that can feel overwhelmingly heavy. It can become suffocating or immediately draining. You could experience dark intrusive thoughts, violent outbursts, and horrific nightmares when a demon is meddling with your life and environment.
Any Entity Can Lie, Demons Deceive On A Different Level
With demons, there is intelligence there, so don’t underestimate them. Demons will gain and use knowledge against you in layers. But it’s only used for deception and manipulation to gain control over individuals. Keyword: GAIN– because they don’t already have it and they can’t take it. They need consent. They need to influence people in order to fully operate here. Human spirits don’t; they’re natives.
That doesn’t mean a demon can’t throw an object across the room at you; they can. It means they can’t possess you or enter your home without an invitation. They also need permission to stay. So don’t think it’s too late; they can be evicted. They may present themselves as friendly or benign entities initially before revealing their true malevolent nature. Demons will try to trick you into making a covenant of some kind with them. They want to do things for you, but only so you’ll be indebted to them.
How to Remove Spirit Attachments & Demonic Entities
Assert your Authority
Set firm boundaries and assert your authority over your energy and space. Clearly communicate your intentions to the attached spirit, stating that they are not welcome and must leave immediately. Reinforce your strength and resolve with prayer and invocation. Use specific prayers or invocations that resonate with you and your intentions. Pray in Jesus’ name for divine assistance in casting out and permanently removing attachments.
In addition to personally revoking access to your environment, mind, and body, cleansing rituals and, in some cases, an exorcism may have to be performed. Following up with spiritual counseling should continue to treat or prevent further anxieties and trauma from affecting those involved.
Exorcism or Professional Spiritual Intervention May Be Needed.
In severe cases of demonic possession or negative spirit attachment, seek assistance from qualified clergy members or exorcists who are experienced in performing exorcisms or spiritual interventions. These individuals have specialized training and rituals for removing malevolent spirits or entities.
Maintain Good Spiritual Hygiene to Keep Them Out
Spiritual Cleansing and Protection: Perform spiritual cleansing rituals, such as smudging with sage, burning incense, or using holy water, to clear negative energy from your surroundings. Additionally, create protective barriers, such as visualizing a shield of light around yourself or your home, to prevent further attachments.
Psychic Protection Practices: Practice psychic protection techniques, such as grounding, shielding, or visualization exercises, to strengthen your energetic boundaries and repel unwanted attachments. Regularly cleanse and maintain your energy field to prevent reattachment.
Spirit Release Therapy: Work with therapists or counselors trained in spirit release therapy, a form of regression therapy focused on identifying and releasing attached spirits or entities. Through hypnosis or guided visualization, you can explore past traumas or unresolved issues that may be attracting spirit attachments and facilitate their release.
Energy Healing: This is something you can do on your own or with assistance from energy healers specializing in removing spirit attachments. It’s important that anything you do in this area is done in the name of Jesus. Techniques such as Reiki, chakra balancing, or aura cleansing can help rebalance your energy and release unwanted attachments. Just like cleansing your home, you cleanse your physical and energetic body in Jesus’ name.
It’s essential to approach any spiritual encounter with caution and seek guidance from experienced professionals, such as spiritual counselors/healers, clergy members, or demonologists. Additionally, prayer and maintaining spiritual protection practices and boundaries can help safeguard against future unwanted spiritual influences.
