Spirit Attachment, Signs and Removal - The Complete Guide

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 are Spirits

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 entities and ghosts that are in other non-material realm, or spirit realm.

What is Spiritual Attachment

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.

Why do Spirits attach themselves to you

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.

What is Entity Attachment

While people believe that Spirits are the lost souls of humans that have passed away, Entities are believed to be not of human origin.

There is no evidence to prove the existence of either spirits or any other entities, let alone their attachment to human beings.

Most symptoms of Spirit or Entity attachment can be traced back to traumatic events and the effect of post-traumatic stress on an individual.

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 occurred. It impacts our thoughts, our sense of who we are and whole life in general.

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.

To tackle all of the symptoms of Spirit Attachment and to remove any attached Spirits, we need to look directly into identifying our trauma and taking steps to resolve the root of the matter.

Conclusion

Spirit Attachment can feel real, especially for someone who has a lot of issues in their life that they do not understand properly.

It is important to remember that chasing miracles and hoping for magical improvements only leads to temporary bliss and disappointments.

You can, however, start understanding your issues with the help of awareness of Trauma and the impact it can have on your life.
