In my work and personal experience, I have seen the powerful role that understanding the body and nervous system plays in spiritual processes - including entity attachment and removal. I have also seen how often this truth is ignored by spiritual practitioners who (often unintentionally) end up translocating entities from one part of a client's body to the next (or even from the client to themselves) due to this misunderstanding. This is because it is very hard to fully read into someone’s attachment or possession experience, clairvoyantly, when we are ignorant of the ways in which these entities might hide within the body.
We must also acknowledge and understand the role that trauma and the unintegrated shadow play in making us vulnerable and susceptible to these entity attachments. Unhealed pain and trauma dissociate us from the heart center, which causes it to harden as the light within our heart is slowly suffocated due to a lack of nurturing, much like the way a flame cannot survive without the presence of oxygen. In our case, this “oxygen” would be reminiscent of our connection to Higher forces and awareness of Christ within us.
It is this hardening of the heart that acts as the nucleus (or control center) of the lower nervous system, commanding everything within us to anchor deeper into that pain and trauma. The heart must be positioned properly for healing to take place. When it is hardened, it is positioned away from God, away from Christ. Thus, positioned towards all that opposes God and Christ….which would be the subnatural forces and entities of the eighth sphere, or “lower astral.”
Our pain, therefore, acts as a portal opening us up to these forces, giving them a resonant space to reside in as they seek to feed off of our remaining life-force. So subtle, at times, that we may mistake them for our own thoughts, our own feelings, our own sensations. We must become very still, mindful, and extremely familiar with the language of our body in order to have any defense against these wicked beings.
Below, I will walk you through an exercise of becoming acquainted with the language of your body and teach you how to work with sensations as a means of scanning for and releasing entity attachments!
First, get into a meditative state, whatever that looks like for you. I generally advise against using music or any kind of distracting background noise during this practice. However, a metronome is fine.
Locate a sensation within the body that calls to your attention - there is no need to attach any mental or emotional context to this sensation as this can often cause us to be clouded or influenced by any thoughtforms or egregores that we have going on. In order to release attachments from ourselves, we have to release the story or label that we have been identifying with for so long, and thus, associating our sensations with. This includes stories around certain diseases (dis-ease) or chronic pain. It is important that we can detach from these things while in this space because entities and attachments may be using certain stories or labels as a mask to hide behind. Additionally, these stories or labels may be fuel for certain thoughtforms or egregores that we end up unconsciously feeding.
You may be wondering, what is a “sensation?” Close your eyes and gently scan the body, starting at your feet and moving upward toward the crown of your head. You may notice aches or pains. You may feel like you are having difficulty sitting still. You may notice tension, tingling, buzzing, or other sensations within the body. Even itching! If there are multiple sensations, bring your awareness to the sensation that seems the “loudest.”
If the sensation is that you have to go to the bathroom or need to get up to get some water… please listen to your body and then the body scan. It is counterproductive to ignore one sensation in your body while attempting to become familiar with another. This is imperative! In order to truly develop and understand the language that your body uses to speak to you, your body needs to know that it can trust you to listen. In order to know that it can trust you, you must earn its trust by honoring your basic bodily functions.
Once you have located a sensation, the next step is to allow your body to do whatever it naturally wants to do. If this sensation is in your leg, you may feel the desire to kick or shake your leg. If it is, you may feel the need to twirl your arm or wave it around. You may find yourself feeling drawn to somatic release in dance, jumping, swaying, etc. For some of you, you may simply feel the desire to lay still and allow the sensation to grow and grow until it has fully released.
It is important to make sure that you communicate to yourself and your body that physical sensations are not dangerous and are not going to hurt you. Sensations that arise should never be judged, nor should they be ignored. At times, you may feel called to ask the sensation where it comes from, or if it has a message to share with you. If the sensation is tied to an entity, you may begin to experience disturbing images or thoughts in response to your question. This is normal, as the entity is attempting to trigger fear so that you do not continue with the release of the sensation (aka trapped trauma or pain) that has allowed it to attach.
It is perfectly normal to feel afraid, uncomfortable, overwhelmed, or anxious when first doing this work. Understanding that none of those feelings are inherently harmful is very important. We work with these feelings by comforting the inner child and grounding deeper into the body. Something I often suggest is the practice of speaking out loud to the body/inner child. The nervous system is incredibly receptive to verbal cues and responds equally whether the cues are coming from you or another person. Statements such as, “You are safe. I am going to protect us. I love you. It is okay to be afraid, but I am here with you,” can go a long way!
However, if you begin to dissociate, discontinue the session immediately and come back to it at a later date. We should never do this kind of work unless we can remain grounded and embodied throughout the duration of the session.
While finalizing the release, you may feel called to pray, chant, laugh, or just meditate on a feeling of love in your heart. Even if we do not release attachments in this session, the goal should be to release sensations and anchor deeply into the heart to the best of our ability. If the heart has been hardened/closed for a long period of time, the results may be very subtle at first…this is okay, and you are not doing anything wrong. It takes time to feel safe enough to open again. Consistency is key!
Lastly, simply focusing on the breath, choosing to enter into each activity of your day with mindfulness and intentionality…these things can naturally begin to reconnect you with the heart and release that which doesn’t serve you, including attachments. When we are intentional with our thoughts, our words, and our actions…this is us making a conscious decision to stop feeding the thoughtforms and egregores that we were previously feeding solely out of our own unconscious behavior. Living a life of intentionality, especially intentionality of the heart, is one of the greatest ways in which we may protect ourselves, and also enables us to develop a deeper understanding of the language our body uses to communicate to us when something is amiss - be it physically or psychically!
Keep in mind that while the above exercise works well for thoughtforms and attachments, it is not suggested for exorcism which requires the aid of a higher-level initiate. That being said, these exercises are safe to practice and (entity attachment aside…) also promote emotional regulation, focus, and relaxation, as well as aiding in the reduction of neurogenic inflammation.

Thank you. I think this explains to a great extent what I have been experiencing for a long time; a lot of my emotions, feelings and even memories don’t make sense, almost like they’re not even mine, based on how I think and what my situation is. I don’t think I have been through trauma to any great extent but did grow up in a pretty emotion devoid family. Not unloving but not emotional at all. I hope these exercises will help me at least understand a little better and help me to rid myself of these negative feelings.
