Is There Something Dark Lurking? 14 Signs To Identify A Negative Spirit Attachment

Do you know what is a negative spirit attachment? In the spirit of Halloween 2023, let’s discuss about the eerie topic of spirit possession and how to safeguard yourself.

Although even the thought of a negative spirit or entity attached to you can be scary, you must familiarize yourself with the signs of a negative entity attachment to protect yourself and your loved ones.

A negative spirit attachment is an “intelligent” disembodied human spirit that has attached itself to a living person’s energy field, aka aura.

Such spirits refuse to surrender to the death experience and want to continue certain behaviors they practiced in life. They will search for a vulnerable human candidate so they can attach and “live” vicariously through that person.

Spirit attachments are sneaky and hardly ever detected. Attached spirits are usually never seen nor physically felt or heard. This is why it’s hard for people to believe they have a spirit attachment until things get really unbearable.

A negative spirit attachment can happen in early childhood. When the child grows up, there may be a nagging awareness that something is not right. As adults, they don’t understand why they repeat certain harmful behaviors or addictions.

2. Assessment

There needs to be an honest assessment of one’s energy field and physical self to determine whether there are signs of negative spirits around you.

If you or someone else suspects there is a negative spirit attachment present or there are signs of negative energy, decisive action has to be taken. You are in a dire need of a spirit release.

3. Detection

There are many ways to detect a negative spirit attachment. This can be done through:

  • past life regression therapy
  • doing aura scanning
  • journaling
  • automatic writing
  • looking at the aura in a mirror
  • using a pendulum
  • muscle testing
  • examining dreams
  • special meditations.

There are even Theta-level Binaural Beat meditations that can help with diagnosing as well as spirit attachment removal.

4. Identifying What Kind Of Attachment Is Present

To release spirit attachments, one has to identify the specific type of attachment. There are many different kinds of spirit attachments that have been witnessed all over the world.

  • There might be a soul of a deceased human being who has latched on to you to fulfill their unmet desires.
  • You can also be carrying a spirit from a past life who has not been able to let go of your connection.
  • You might have also unknowingly invited or invoked a dark or malicious spirit.

5. Releasing Of Attachment

This stage involves a careful therapeutic release of the spirit attachment. For some, the attachment has been with them for so long, they are almost afraid to let it go.

There is a fear of loss expressed by the victim that seems unreasonable to others. But, I assure you, the attachment has done the victim harm and they should be gently convinced to let it go.
