Demonic Possessions - What Are They, How They Affects Us and How To Remove Them

Spirit Attachments have long been thought of as a cause for various issues with a person's physical, mental and spiritual health.

Let's take a look at what is meant by Spirits and Spiritual Attachments, what are the usual issues associated with it and how we can work on removing and protecting ourselves from these supernatural entities.

What is a demon

The word spirit is derived from the Latin word, Spiritus, which means breath or wind.

During earlier times, a person who can breathe was said to have spirit inside him, which differentiated them from someone who is dead.

In modern spiritual world, the word spirit is used to mean the soul of a person. This could also be used refer to enitites and ghosts that are in other non-material realm, or spirit realm.

What does it mean to be possessed by demons

Spirit Attachment happens when the spirit of another person, who has passed away, is attached to you. It is said that these spirits are lost souls that do not know that they have passed away, or want to hold on to their lifestyle by attaching themselves to someone else.

This can cause a lot of disturbance for the living person, resulting in weakening mental health, reduced energy and vitality, loss of purpose or identity, internal conflict, etc.

Spirit attachment can also refer to the psycho-somatic sensations and feeling that people feel such as crawling under their skin, tingling sensations around body, etc.

Spirits tend to find people who are going through tough times. Such people are said to have a weakened aura which allows other spirits and entities to attach themselves to the person and survive on their life force.

Is demonic possession real

The spirits that do not move on properly want to continue living the life that they once had, and do so by attaching to a person with similar energy and vibrations.

It has been said that the spirits attach themselves to other living beings so that they can live vicariously through them.

This usually means that they want to indulge in their behaviour patterns such as addictions and obsessions by attaching to people who regularly indulge in similar behaviour patterns.

This definition and understanding is commonly accepted by a lot people, most of whom are not aware of the trauma that they carry and what impact it can have on their lives.

How can unhealed Trauma feel like a Spirit Attachment

A traumatic event, when not processed properly, remains repressed in your subconscious mind long after it has occured. It impacts our thoughts, our sense of who we are and whole life in gerenal.

Because this trauma is hidden away in subconscious parts of our mind, it is very hard to directly notice when it exists and how it affects us.

This unresolved trauma fragments our mind, causing us to have internal conflict and mental health crisis.

People who suffer from this turmoil for a long time feel the need to be freed from this constant struggle and patterns of behaviour that cause them harm.

It is natural that we tend to blame other things such as Spirit attachments or possessions for the way we feel or act.

Trauma is not a Life Sentence.

Avoiding triggers, handling downward spirals, and living as a shell of a human for the rest of your life is not what healing trauma is about. It is about solving deeper issues that surround your brain and the nervous system and trying to move towards a life that is not just normal but better than normal.

Addiction is just a symptom of deeper emotional issues.

Addiction, unlike what you may have heard, is not a problem on its own most of the times. Addiction, for most people is just a means to escape the pain and uncertainty of their daily life. Abstinence from one thing just leads to using some other thing taking its place. People who have had some childhood traumas or have not properly developed healthy emotional skills are much more likely to have "addictive personality".
