Symptoms of Carrying The Energy of Someone Else

When bad luck or tragedy is recurring, the first action you must consider taking is to cleanse your self and your space, examine your thoughts and take some self -responsibility for your own personal growth. When you can clear your energy of limited and negative or old, unserving patterns - you are on the road to impenetrable psychic protection.

On the psychic level, you also gather the discipline to keep your energy pristine and unavailable for outside attack. Commit to having an aura that only love and light may attract, almost as if you are inside one of those old mirror balls we all used to see so much of in the seventies!

At this point, if you are still noticing incoming and persistent dark energy, you need to consider that you have an attachment.

If you do not go down this list and discount other possibilities first, you might confuse truth with fiction:

feeling drained and depressed
noticing strange odors
a feeling of heaviness, as if there is a weight upon you
inability to think clearly
inability to make positive change happen in your life
failure to win jobs or develop healthy relationships
nightmares and insomnia
having a sense of something around you that is not part of your own energy
constant thoughts of someone who dislikes you
dreams that are full of violent or threatening imagery
physical conditions that seem to appear for no reason
feeling paranoid that your food or water has been poisoned
sudden, irrational fears


And yes - many of these could be explained through allergy, suppressed emotions and other blocks, and even mental illness - which is why it is always wise to think through other reasons first, and consult a health professional or alternative therapist beforehand you think of the worst scenario.

The more one thinks about the possibility of an attachment, the more one can believe it to be true - as in the case of Salem, for example - which, as you know, was the setting for a tragic series of events caused by ignorance, fear and paranoia.

On a cold dark Massachusetts winter day in January, 1692, eight young girls became suddenly ill, beginning with 9-year-old Elizabeth Parris, the daughter of Reverend Samuel Parris, as well as his niece, 11-year-old Abigail Williams. Theirs was a strange sickness, its symptoms including delirium, violent convulsions, incomprehensible speech, trance-like states, and odd skin sensations.

The conclusion reached by the villagers was unanimous and dramatic - someone in their town was laying curses upon the innocent!�

The first to be accused was the Reverend's slave Tituba, followed by Sarah Good and Sarah Osburn, two elderly women considered of ill repute. In short, over 150 'witches' were arrested, with 20 put to death and a further five who died in jail.

On October 29, by order of Massachusetts Governor Sir William Phips, the Salem witch trials officially ended, and with that the trance ended. A strange air of bewilderment reigned over the village with accusers at a loss to explain their own actions.

Humans love drama - and to believe this was an attachment is heady drama indeed. However, the reality of science is beginning to take over the historical tale - and it began with the discovery of a common grain fungus.

When a college student called Linnda Caporael began to research the Salem witch trials in the early 1970s, she had little idea that her work would lead to an ending of the myth. Caporael, now a behavioral psychologist at New York's Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, soon noticed a link between the strange symptoms reported by Salem's accusers and the hallucinogenic effects of drugs like LSD. LSD is a derivative of ergot, a fungus that affects rye grain.

Toxicologists now know that eating ergot-contaminated food can lead to a convulsive disorder characterized by violent muscle spasms, vomiting, delusions, hallucinations, crawling sensations on the skin, and a host of other symptoms -- all of which are present in the records of the Salem witchcraft trials. Ergot thrives in warm, damp, rainy springs and summers.

When Caporael examined the diaries of Salem residents, she found that those exact conditions had been present in 1691. Nearly all of the accusers lived in the western section of Salem village, a region of swampy meadows that would have been prime breeding ground for the fungus. At that time, rye was the staple grain of Salem. The rye crop consumed in the winter of 1691-1692 -- when the first usual symptoms began to be reported - could easily have been contaminated by large quantities of ergot. The summer of 1692, however, was dry, which could explain the abrupt end of the 'bewitchments'.

Now, before all of this new research came to light, everyone believed in the existence of the Salem witches, even for a split second. How interesting to discover how easily we move into fear when we are dealing with an unknown set of circumstances!

One little old Greek lady came to see me one day, accompanied by her niece as she was unable to speak English. Her situation was dire - depression, exhaustion, nightmares and an intense fear of being poisoned. She had lost weight and her paranoia had increased to the point that she couldn't bring herself to eat any food at all, but drank only water. After moving her into a relaxed hypnotic state, I began to ask pointed questions directed at her Bodymind in order to discover whether she had an attachment or an entity existing within her energy. There are a number of trick questions one ask of an entity - and sure enough, she had one. This dark clump of energy intent on destroying its host turned out to be connected to an ancestor who had received the original curse during his lifetime and had obligingly and unknowingly carried it beyond his generation to affect all those who came after him.

Through the niece acting as translator for all my words, my client was able to release the entity, visualize its departure and feel its release from her body. By the time the session was over, she carried a lightness around her again, her skin tone had cleared and her energy was high, yet calm and grounded. She called me a few days later to thank me and let me know that she was ravenously eating again and that all was well.

So, while the existence of curses and entities are quite real, our fears can often compound problems or - in the case of Salem - create new myths.

In some irreverent circles, they say that the word 'FEAR' is an acronym for 'F*** Everything And Run' - which holds some truth for us all. What if we chose to change this belief of ours - and in doing so, rename the acronym to 'False Evidence Appearing Real'? The moral of this tale is quite clear.

Work your way through the list of possibilities, learn how to cleanse your energy, develop your psychic protection, notice what emotional blocks you carry that are now waiting to be healed and released, and then - and only then - question the possibility of an attachment.
