What are Entities?

The reasons behind attaching

By MGSPublished about a year ago 5 min read

Entities are often described as non-physical beings or energies that can attach themselves to individuals, places or objects. The phenomenon of entity attachment is a complex interplay of spiritual, psychological, and sometimes even energetic dynamics. Many believe that entities can attach themselves to individuals who are experiencing emotional or psychological distress, such as pain, fear, or trauma. These lower vibrational energies can feed on the host's negative emotions, creating a cycle of addiction. Such attachments can manifest in various ways, including persistent negative thoughts, emotional instability, or even physical sensations that can be difficult to differentiate from one's own emotions or experiences.

The reasons behind attaching an entity can vary greatly. Some believe that certain individuals can inadvertently attract entities due to specific frequencies in their energy field that can resonate with lower vibrational energies. Additionally, conditions such as substance abuse, mental health struggles, or significant life changes can create an opening, making individuals more susceptible to attachments. Environmental factors such as living in places with heavy historical energy or unresolved trauma can also play a significant role. People who engage in practices such as mediumship, spiritual seeking, or even deep meditation may find themselves more vulnerable as they open up to various realms of existence in search of understanding or connection.

Understanding how and why certain entities attach is essential to healing and personal growth. Many spiritual and metaphysical practices encourage individuals to cultivate energetic protection and resilience, fostering a strong inner foundation that can mitigate the risk of unwanted attachments. These may include grounding exercises, energetic cleansing rituals, or mindfulness practices designed to increase self-awareness and emotional stability. By addressing the underlying issues that make one susceptible to these entities and encouraging a nurturing energy, individuals can reclaim their power, ensuring that their space—both physical and energetic—remains truly theirs.

Before I talk about these things, I'd like to clarify a few key points.

I use the word "entity" to define any form of energy foreign to the "host" that enters and influences its space.

Entities once they enter a person's space (the vast majority of them) cannot leave unless they receive help. Most of them are eager to leave, but they don't know and can't.

Both the host and the entities present need this release process to be approached with love, to be done in harmony, from the highest vibration and in the highest way.

Most of these entities are suffering and need to feel (perhaps for the first time in their entire lives) the energy of love.

They can only be released if the "host" wants to let them go. Otherwise, the person may call them back vigorously.

If the "host" person wants the entity to leave their space, their wish will always be respected and the entity must leave.

There are 4 forms of attachment of an entity to a person:

1. Overshadowing — is a weak relationship where the entity is outside the person's aura, but is nearby, sometimes slightly influencing him.

2. Oppression - is the term used when the entity is in the person's aura, affecting them emotionally to some extent.

3. Obsession — is the state in which the entity has entered the person's physical body bringing with it their own emotions, thoughts, habits and implementing them so that the host experiences them as if they were their own. Only when the spirit is freed does the person realize that certain emotions and thoughts do not belong to him.

4. Possession—occurs when the invading entity pushes aside the host's personality, taking complete control of the body, thus manifesting its own behaviors and using its own words. Perhaps there is an alternation between possession and obsession.

The most common forms are obsession and then oppression. Possession is extremely rare.

Why do these entities attach themselves to certain people's space? The tendency is to attract spirits that resonate in some way with our emotions, thoughts, needs, vices or problems. The most common situations where entities attach to a person's space:

1. We often heard about entities that attached themselves to a person to help, protect. This is often the case with children or people in various periods of vulnerability who seemed to need support. However, it is important to note that although these entities can help the host at certain times, this type of relationship is not beneficial for any of them, because the "invader" feeds on the person's energy and with protection brings various blockages in the person. system. .

2. It is also common for a person to experience very low vibrational emotion (fear, hate, anger, greed, envy, jealousy, etc.) or to be aggressive or have a strong desire for revenge. or an entity that has the same feelings and thus manages to express itself and feed on these low energies through the host. With entity attachment many times these feelings/emotions/attitudes/behaviors are accentuated.

3. Another relatively common situation is that of the souls of aborted children who remain attached to the mother (sometimes they may attach to the father's space). This relationship is often maintained by the person's guilt or grief.

4. Sometimes these attached spirits are certain souls with whom the person in whose space he left left some unresolved problems in another life.

5.Severe health problems, surgeries, blood and organ transfusions often cause very low energy protection and favor entity attachment.

6. Sometimes an entity with a great thirst for power and control can find a very powerful person who, due to the circumstances of a certain moment (certain moments of fear or emotions of low vibration) has a weakened protective field. Thus the spirit manages to penetrate to enjoy the power of the host.

7.I have also heard situations where certain people (usually during adolescence) tried various magical practices heard or read, usually in play, and invited certain entities who took it seriously - they came and did not they never left .

8.Some people have certain contracts in this life or in others that include certain debts or unresolved issues that lead to a spirit attachment.

9. Sometimes therapists, especially those who are called to release entities, need to go through this experience in order to understand and support the people they are going to work with and also to realize that they don't have to be them fear.

10. Sometimes it is enough that that person was in a certain place, at a certain time with weak protection and that a certain entity used this opportunity as the most convenient. Hospitals, cemeteries and bars with high alcohol content are particularly favorable in this regard.

It is always important what attracted that entity into the person's realm so that that aspect can be resolved and filled out. There is always something inside the person.
