What is an Attachment?

The unexplained, especially when dealing with the paranormal, can shroud us in fear. Not everyone believes in ghosts or even the metaphysical, as many of us are focused primarily on facts. However, when something goes bump in the night without any logical explanation, then even the most skeptical can find it hard to sleep soundly.

Many of us have questioned what happens after we die, or what lies beyond the veil – are ghosts real? Are there good or bad spirits? Can they harm or help us?

I have had my fair share of supernatural experiences, of both benevolent and malevolent entities that had woke me up at a very young age to knowing there is far more that exists in this life than we know. They had me question my sanity and they had me reach further to understand my gifts of seeing, sensing, and hearing them.
​
While I want to explain the many different types of entities, deities, and ancestral or spirit guides that I have come to understand, I do not want to over bombard you all with too much information – also, I might as well write a novel if I wish to explain it all. So, I will be writing small portions of each one, and to start I will explain the most common:

What is an Attachment?

An attachment is typically a parasitical entity which feeds off your vital force. Much like a leach that attaches to the skin and sucks away at your blood, growing in size with the more it drinks. A parasitic entity feeds off your energy and grows in both size and strength.
Often times these are not, or never were, human – they do not have a soul, but rather they feed from souls. They also crave life, as they do not have the vibrational frequency to create or manifest as us living beings do. They are at a very low frequency, and so they need something that operates at a higher one so to experience the beautiful gift of life that we have.

These do not come out of nowhere, for no reason at all. They are attracted to you for a few reasons:

Auric Holes
When you experience trauma – physical, emotional, spiritual, or mental, you experience rips within your aura and this causes your vital force, your energy, to leak. Like a beacon, the parasitical entity is drawn to you like a moth to a flame. It latches onto the hole and feeds off you. Often times, those who experiences PTSD have an attachment that feeds from the trauma and keeps the host trapped within the experience which hurt them. There are a number of signs that a parasite has latched on: self-harm, fatigue, depression, addiction, mental illnesses, etc… of course I am not saying that these signs are a tell-all for an entity being present, but typically they are. This is also a gateway to possession, as the entity latches on and grows, it gains control over the host’s psyche.

Traumatic/Negative Events within an environment
When extremely negative events occur within an environment – such as a home, or even a battlefield, typically an entity will become attracted to this space. Often times this can also create a doorway as well for more entities to come through. They thrive off the imprinted energy that had been left behind and this is often why these areas grow in intensity after the negative events have occurred. These can be experienced as cold spots, having a feeling that something is there or a large amount of pressure within the atmosphere. Of course there are other sensations that can be felt, as well as signs that something is there, but these are the typical few that can give clues to stay clear from areas such as this, or to do a lot of shielding and protective work when being around them. These types of entity are often waiting for a host to latch on to, and so that is why it is imperative that you are protected and aware when being around these places.

Demonic Transference
Disgusting, but just like lice can move from host to host, so can parasitical entities. When there is an invitation or a doorway such as an auric hole, then the parasite can jump from one person to another.

Ancestral Karma/Ancestral Attachments
Yes, a parasitical entity can be attracted to a certain bloodline. There are also a number of reasons why these happen as well – typically it is through an ancestor having an attachment that was never able to remove it, and so it lives on, moving from family member, to family member.

How to Get Rid of an Attachment

Just as there are a number of reasons why one is present, there are also a number of ways to get rid of them.
​
Shadow Work
The most effective is shadow work and repairing the auric hole by “facing your demons”. The Healing process from something as this can be difficult as they will fight you in trying to survive and not letting you go. The more you work on facing your fears, owning up to your own toxicity and battling those defense mechanisms or coping mechanisms which are not healthy and keep you within a prison of your pain, the more you are able to overpower something as this.

Reiki/Energy Work
Working with your chakras is a key way to help strengthen your aura and to repair auric holes. If you are unable to do so on your own, then seeing a reiki practitioner or energy worker is another. They can scan your aura and with their psychic eye, sense where you may have auric holes and then work on repairing them.

Working with Crystals
Lapis Lazuli is one of my FAVORITE gems to work with them repairing auric holes and Labradorite is an amazing stone for removing attachments. They can work hand in hand on helping to seal your aura and to kick off attachments. Black Tourmaline is another amazing stone for ridding attachments, as it aids you on your shadow work journey in facing your shadow self, transmuting it to light, as well as deflecting darker or lower vibrational energies. Selenite is another amazing stone as it attracts higher vibrational frequencies.
​
Angelic & Protective Guides
The power of prayer works through the intention and energy you put into them. When you call upon angelic or protective guides, you can bring on a powerful team of spiritual protectors who can help rid you of attachments and further protect you from them. Archangel Michael is probably the most favored of angelic guides and protectors, as well as the most universal. Of course, there are many – even your own ancestral guides.

Shortly after my mother’s passing , I was pouring myself a cup of my legendarily awful coffee and talking to my sister in law on the phone . I set the cup down on the counter and turned to get cream and sugar to make it drinkable ... chit chatting away . When I turned back and absently reached for my mug it was gone . Still talking , I looked back at the counter across the kitchen , thinking I’d carried it over there ... Noooo
Did I put it in the fridge
Noooo
Now I was getting a little pissy. I knew I had set it right next to the sink. I even double checked with my sister in law to make sure I had , in fact poured one ... and wasn’t losing my marbles.
Then I looked back at the sink... there was my cup sitting upside down about a foot down the counter.
She laughed , I laughed.. I shook my head and reached for the cup to try it again. As I lifted it from the countertop , coffee poured out from under it all over the place .... silence
We both decided the only one who was laughing at that was be my mother.

I have had many experiences at my grandmother's house. There was a murder/suicide on the property from what I understand but there seems to be something darker there. When I was a kid I would stay the night all the time. I used to stay in one of the guest bedrooms until I could not stay in there anymore due to the amount of experiences I had. There would be dark shadows, the closet door would fly open and my bed would shake while I was in it. So I went into the opposite bedroom to stay instead from then on. Even then I had many issues. The door was the exact opposite of the one I used to stay in. Even though I would close both doors at night they would both be open in the morning. I would frequently wake up terrified out of my mind because it felt like there was something at the end of my bed even though I couldn't see it. The nightmares were horrifying and I would have them even when I wasn't there. They would always be about the house and I would end up lost in the house or something would be trying to kill me. The most frequent nightmare was of me in the bathroom being attacked and held up against the shower wall by something i couldn't see. I was convinced for awhile that whatever was in her house followed me out. I would have strange figures in my house and wake up to the same terrified feeling of something being there at the end of my bed. Eventually it went away and then she was forced to move out of her house. Once she moved I didn't have many issues after that.
