Spirit Possession and
Attached Spirits
|
|
I'm often asked, "Does Spirit Possession really happen?" I've now had MANY experiences with helping people that have had Attached
Spirits and have suffered either partial of full possession. Yes, it
does happen.
In most cases the person won't even know that there's any spirit attachment.
Generally speaking, life is pretty normal. But when a situation or event
happens that triggers or annoys the attached spirit, it's as if something seems to "take
over". |
What is a Spirit Possession?
A spirit possession is when a
spirit is able to either temporarily or permanently take over the
thinking and/or body functions of a living person.
I've heard many times how a person will have the feeling that when the spirit
possession happens there's a feeling like, "it wasn't me doing
it." And effectively it's not.
For brief moments attached spirits can sometimes affect the behavior of the
person that they're attached to. This is sometimes referred to as Partial
Possession because the spirit isn't in full control at all times.
What's more common though are spirits that will influence people but not take
possession of the person. These spirits are still attached, but will not
take over in the way that a possession happens.
What is an Attached Spirit?
An attached spirit is when an earthbound spirit is attracted to a
living person and then begins to "hang out" with the living
person. After a while, the spirit finds that they become
emotionally attached. Often the spirit will feel safe or even
complacent about being with the person.
In most cases attached spirits don't have any ill-will and they
don't mean to harm the person. It's almost always
just that the spirit had some connection to the person, either
emotionally, similar life-experiences, or the spirit could have
known the person in life or even a past life.
Once the spirit has been released, the living person will begin to
re-learn what it's like to be alone in their own bodies again.
Several options and methods are available to the person that is
experiencing either Spirit Possession or Attached Spirits.
Traditionally, the removal of spirits has been dictated to the
church or religious organizations.
Releasing Attached Spirits
Most mainstream religions have their own way of dealing with spirit
possession and releasing attached spirits.
The movie, "The Exorcist" brought the Catholic
Exorcism ritual into mainstream awareness.
This ritual is based on the belief of Demonic Possession.
In order to receive a Catholic ritual the person must first be
witnessed having signs such as speaking in unknown languages,
aversion for the name of God, Jesus, the Saints, etc.
The Catholic church must first approve all request for the ritual to
take place. Request will typically not be approved for a
person (only) having symptoms of Spirit Attachment.
Another Christian-based form of Spirit Release is known as Deliverance
Ministry, which is similar to the Catholic model but without as
much formal ritual.
A more recent form of dealing with attached spirits was popularized
by the late Dr. William Baldwin, Spirit Releasement Therapy
(SRT).
This model requires no belief on the part of the affected person,
and some practitioners don't even require the involvement of the
affected person.
Remote Spirit Release using the SRT method are common among many
practitioners. In this method spirits are removed from the
affected person remotely by either a single practitioner or by a team
of people.
