Energetic Attachments – A Basic Understanding
My good friend, Alice Brewer gave a talk this week at the Center for Spiritual Growth in South Bend, Indiana. The topic was “What’s Gotten Into You (An Expanded View of Reality)” and it was about the concept of energetic attachments.
This is something that Alice and I have worked with a lot over the past 16 months. Alice often sits in on my coaching sessions and shares her gifts with my clients. By gifts, I mean her ability to see, hear and interact with the non-physical (or spiritual) realm of reality. She has some extraordinary abilities, and together we’ve had some profound experiences with helping clients to shift very big issues in their lives.
I wanted to post something that was useful, brief and to the point around this energy attachment subject. This is how I see things based on my own personal experience in this field. The conclusions I’ve come to have been confirmed and echoed in a few books I’ve read on this subject (however, I read the books AFTER having most of the experiences that led me to the conclusions).
For those who are very new to this subject, some of this may sound pretty far out. However, I am 100% convinced that this phenomenon is real and something that each one of us deals with in life here on planet earth (whether we are aware of it or not). I feel an understanding of what is going on “behind the scenes” and what you can do about it is very helpful.
1. Energy attachments can be thought of as a range (or spectrum) of types of energetic patterns that can become attached to a person’s energetic field or aura. The spectrum includes earthbound spirit attachments on one end down to small fragments of energy that are barely detectable on the other end. Attachments are like energetic parasites. The effect on a person caused by an attachment can be hugely significant to totally insignificant. It is the situations where the effect is significant that I am most interested in removing attachments.
2. Basically, we are talking about energy that just doesn’t belong in you. It’s not energy that you created in your life experience. It’s energy that somehow got attached to you during your life. Usually there is some resonance point of attraction that draws it to you. For example: If you struggled with depression at some point in your life, you could attract attachments that resonate with low vibration depressed emotions. Energetically, “like attracts like” so a negative feeling state that you are stuck in can open the door for negative energetic attachments to be drawn to you. Once an attachment has “moved in,” it can pull you into specific feeling states or thought patterns when it is activated or triggered. So, a negative attachment associated with depression could cause you to drop into depression when you would normally be feeling good (if there were no attachment present). Attachments can influence your thinking and the way you feel.
3. Energy attachments are part of the human condition and they are extremely common. I believe everyone has energetic attachments, so you might as well get over the fear that you may have one (if that fear is present). The question is, “Are they affecting you in a negative way?” We live in a very polluted energetic environment here on planet earth. It’s pretty impossible to not pick up things here and there as you live your life. It’s like walking through a wild field. When you get to the other side you’re going to have some of those little prickly things stuck to your clothes.
4. The upside of this subject is that I’ve found that by removing energetic attachments that ARE causing some detrimental effect, a person can experience very immediate and positive shifts in their life. The most dramatic and immediate changes I’ve ever witnessed in all of my coaching years have been the result of removing energy attachments that were exerting a significant influence or “pull” on the client. Once the attachment is gone, the client often feels very differently and that is usually a permanent shift. An example: We worked with a young man who had panic attacks whenever he had to travel. This condition had been present for several years and it was getting worse as more time went by. It was interfering significantly with his work and personal life. Alice and I spent a couple hours with him during which we removed four attachments and worked through a past life issue that was related. After that one session, his panic attacks completely disappeared and they have never returned. He recently went on a trip to Mexico and reported that he felt no significant feelings of panic or concern before or during the trip.
5. So, if you have some issue in your life that isn’t resolving the way you want it to, this is a place to look to see if there is something pulling you in an unwanted direction. It has become the first thing I check when working with any client on any issue. If there is some energy attachment involved in the issue, we want to get that out of the way before we doing anything else. Then we can deal with whatever causes are present within the client’s own energy, or their own thought patterns. My overall coaching results have improved significantly since I started checking for and removing energy attachments. I find issues can shift much more easily and quickly. And, by the way, I always make sure it is optimal to remove the attachment before removing it (determined through muscle testing). Rarely do I find that it is not optimal for the client to have it be taken away.
6. Most of the time, it is very easy to remove attachments, but they have to be detected and their location identified in order for them to be removed. I use muscle testing to determine if an attachment is present and if it is, where exactly it is located in the client’s energy field. Once we have that information, I simply engage the spiritual level (guides and angels specifically) and ask them to remove the attachment. When Alice is present for the session, she can give a vivid detailed “play by play” of what is happening during this process. The details are fascinating and while there is a common pathway or protocol that occurs as these energies are removed, the specifics are always unique and quite interesting. Fortunately, we have digitally recorded almost all of our sessions in which we do this type of work. Alice and I are now talking about writing a book and sharing many of the stories around this subject.
7. The reason I got into this area is because I am always looking for “what is the root cause?” when trying to help someone shift an issue. If you don’t address the root cause, you probably won’t be successful in the long run. Attachments can be the root cause of many physical, mental and emotional well-being issues. Another meta-physical place that I look (usually the second thing I check for) is past life conflicts. If there is some unresolved issue from a past life, that alone can keep you stuck for your whole lifetime. Again, I had to keep digging to find the root of the problem, and I eventually realized the root of the problem sometimes is deeper than anything that has happened in this lifetime. Whether you believe in past lives or not, it can be an effective “theory” to use as a tool to access unresolved emotional energy that is keeping you stuck. Alice’s abilities are very helpful when dealing with past life issues as well. She typically sees the past life like a movie playing in her mind’s eye. She can easily go to the parts of the movie that hold the keys to resolving the conflict and then we typically use a couple emotion resolution techniques to resolve (or dissolve) the energy that has been stuck.
Once a person has a basic understanding of attachments, the two questions they usually ask are:
- How do I get rid of an attachment?
- How do I protect myself from getting attachments?
Both Alice and I can help you with removing attachments. There are others out there who provide this type of service, check them out thoroughly before proceeding. Once you gain some experience around this, it can be fairly easy in most cases to remove them yourself. But, you have to understand the basics and know what you’re doing in order to be effective. So, I recommend working with someone who is experienced and has a good track record with attachment removal. Being able to be aware of the attachment and locating it are the two biggest challenges.
As for the second question, one of the easiest ways to avoid attachments is to learn to live in high vibration (positive emotional state or positive mood). The more you are up in a high emotional state (feeling states of peace, joy, freedom, love, gratitude and excitement are good examples), the more protected you are. Attachments are low vibration, negative energy. Because “like attracts like” you would need to be in a low vibration state in order to pick up an attachment. There are some exceptions to this, like being under anesthesia, but generally, as long as you are feeling good and in a positive state, you’re impenetrable energetically. It’s very similar to how your immune system works. When your immune system is strong, you can fend off virtually any virus or bacteria that comes at you. Your immune system is like a protective force field. The same is true of high vibration. When you are in high vibration your aura acts like a protective force field and can repel negative energies.
As part of my coaching support, I help people shift into being able to live in very high states. I’ve found some shortcuts that make this much easier than you may expect. Refer to other articles in this blog in the Living the Ultimate Manifestation category.
There are other ways to protect yourself, and I plan to write a followup article that will cover that. In the meantime, for more information on this, please feel free to post comments below or contact me directly.
I hope this article has helped to explain the concept of energy attachments and set you at ease about the possibility of their presence in your life. I find that most people are unaware of this idea, or they have fearful ideas about it. I feel it is important to understand this aspect of reality and not be afraid of it. But, rather educate yourself a bit and gain some experience in how to effectively address it in your own life.
