What is Spirit Possession?

And how can we clear it?

What is Spirit Possession?

You are made of energy; most of your 'matter' is empty space.

Because of this, another being's energies can become entangled and enmeshed in your energy field.

This is called possession; the state of having another being's consciousness and energies in or overlaying your energy field.

Spirit Possession is common. It is a natural un-desirable phenomenon that happens to ordinary people like you and me all over the world, all the time.

Read this fascinating article about possession by human and non-human spirits after the 2011 tsunamis in Japan. It's from the London Review of Books.

A being who becomes entangled in your energy field can overshadow your behavior, actions, thoughts, and memories. When this is happening, you don't feel like yourself. You don't feel like these emotions, thoughts, or behaviors belong to you. This is known as possession illness.

Typically, for the possessing spirit(but not always), something went wrong when they died; they did not cross at the appropriate time.

A possessing spirit may have attached to you or to someone you know for merely the comfort and benefits that a living body provides, and most commonly for the life force that you are providing.

It is often this simple, and is not sinister. And ... both you and the possessing spirit are suffering because of this.

Some Signs and Symptoms of Possession Illness

If you have an attached possessing being, you might notice any or all of the following signs of possession and possession sickness:

You have low energy levels for no reason
You have character shifts or mood swings, especially when you are tired or caught off guard
You have inner voice(s) speaking to you
You find yourself abusing drugs and/or alcohol
You have impulsive behavior that is out of character
You have memory problems or memories that aren't yours
You have poor concentration and fogginess
You have a definite sense of there being a 'before' and 'after', of things having changed at some point for you, maybe suddenly
You have had sudden anxiety or depression that has not responded to traditional treatment
You experience a sudden onset of physical problems with no obvious cause; i.e. changes in your vision or hearing
You are experiencing physical discomfort that has no discoverable cause and/or for which no traditional treatment can shift
You are experiencing paranormal and/or poltergeist phenomena: moving objects, unexplained noises, and electrical devices turning on and off without you present
You may be having an emotional and/or physical reaction to reading this list

One example of possession sickness I have seen in my own practice is a client who came to me saying that he thought he had acquired someone else's memories: he would see a movie or go to a place that he *knew* he'd never seen or been to, and yet he had memories of. We were able to clear this being in a beautiful and loving way, simultaneously clearing the effects this being had been exerting in his life.
