The Impact of Dark Spiritual Attachments on Mental Health: Understanding Earthbounds, Negative Energies, and Psychosis
Throughout history, many cultures and spiritual traditions have recognized the existence of unseen energies, entities, or influences that can interact with human consciousness. In modern spiritual discourse, concepts such as earthbounds (spirits that are tethered to the physical realm), dark force energies, and negative spiritual attachments are often discussed as potential sources of psychological and emotional distress.
While these ideas are sometimes dismissed in mainstream psychology, a significant number of individuals report experiencing unexplained mental, emotional, or physical symptoms that they attribute to negative spiritual influences. Understanding how these attachments can influence mental health—particularly conditions like hallucinations, psychosis, and schizophrenia—is essential for a holistic approach to healing.
After experiencing a profound and detrimental breakdown alongside a powerful spiritual awakening, I understand firsthand the importance of integrating both spiritual and mental health support. During this intense period, I had a psychotic break that led me to hear voices—some positive, some negative—and navigate a challenging journey through mental health care, as I also suffered with significant anxiety causing severe stress and PTSD.
For three years, I worked closely with the mental health team, blending traditional talking therapies such as CBT and EDMR with complementary approaches like Reiki and Spirit Release Therapy. Through this combined journey, I discovered that spiritual healing played a vital role in my recovery. Spirit Release Therapy, in particular, helped me to identify and release negative attachments and energies, which significantly reduced the burden of distressing voices and emotional turmoil.
This transformative experience is why I became a Spirit Release Practitioner myself—to help others who are suffering from unseen influences, mental and spiritual, and to show that healing is possible when we address both aspects of ourselves.
My journey has made me a passionate advocate for recognizing the interconnectedness of mental and spiritual health. Neither should be overlooked or seen as separate; instead, they can work together to foster true healing and empowerment. If you’re going through something similar, know that integrating spiritual practices with conventional mental health support can open new pathways to clarity, balance, and well-being.
Healing is a journey, and embracing both aspects of yourself—mind and spirit—can be the key to regaining sovereignty over your life. You’re not alone, and help is available in many forms.
What Are Negative Spiritual Attachments?
Negative spiritual attachments refer to entities or energies that cling to individuals or spaces, often resulting in distressing symptoms. Common examples include:
– Earthbound: Spirits of deceased individuals who remain earthbound due to unresolved issues or trauma, sometimes attaching to living people.
– Dark Force Energies: Malevolent energies or entities believed to feed off fear, anger, or suffering.
Entity Attachments Spiritual entities that latch onto a person’s energy field, influencing thoughts, emotions, or physical sensations.
These attachments are often described as causing persistent feelings of fear, anxiety, depression, physical discomfort, mental confusion, addiction, psychosis and schizophrenia
How Negative Spiritual Attachments Influence Mental Health
Unexplained Psychological and Emotional Symptoms
1. Many individuals report experiencing persistent anxiety, depression, or emotional upheaval without apparent medical cause. These symptoms may be linked to energetic influences from negative attachments, which can:
– Amplify feelings of fear, paranoia, or despair.
– Induce intrusive thoughts or mental fog.
– Cause emotional instability or mood swings.
2. Physical Symptoms and Stress
Negative energies are sometimes associated with physical sensations such as headaches, fatigue, or unexplained pains. The energetic interference can create a sense of being overwhelmed or drained, mimicking physical illness.
3. Unexplained or Regressive Behaviour
In some cases, individuals experience sudden changes in behaviour, memory lapses, or feelings of being “not themselves.” These can be attributed to energetic influences disrupting normal mental functioning.
Negative Attachments and Psychosis: A Possible Link
1. Auditory and Visual Hallucinations
One of the most documented phenomena related to spiritual attachments is the experience of auditory or visual hallucinations—perceiving voices, sounds, or images that others do not see or hear. While hallucinations are a core symptom of psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia, some individuals attribute these experiences to:
– Dark force energies or earthbound spirits – communicating or exerting influence.
– Thought forms or residual energies that create voices or visions as a form of energetic interference.
2. The Spiritual Perspective on Psychosis
Some spiritual practitioners believe that persistent negative attachments can distort perception, leading to hallucinations or paranoid beliefs. These experiences may resemble psychosis but are rooted in energetic disturbances rather than neurochemical imbalances.
Important note: While this perspective is embraced by many spiritual communities, it does not replace the need for medical diagnosis or treatment. Instead, it offers an additional lens for understanding complex symptoms.
Linking Spiritual Attachments to Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder characterized by hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking. Some theories propose that:
– Negative energies or entities might influence or exacerbate symptoms.
– Energetic disturbances could trigger or intensify psychotic episodes in vulnerable individuals.
However, scientific evidence linking spiritual attachments directly to schizophrenia remains limited. Yet, anecdotal reports and spiritual frameworks suggest that addressing these energetic influences can sometimes reduce distress.
Recognizing and Addressing Negative Spiritual Attachments
1. Signs of Spiritual Attachments
– Sudden onset of unexplained symptoms such as persistent fear, depression, or anxiety.
– Hearing voices or noises that others do not perceive.
– Feelings of being drained, heavy, or “blocked” emotionally or physically.
– Repetitive patterns of negative thoughts or behaviours without clear cause such as addictions
2. Spiritual and Energy-Based Interventions
– Energy clearing and cord-cutting: Techniques to disconnect negative energies.
– Protection practices: Visualization, prayer, or rituals to shield oneself.
– Seeking help from spiritual practitioners: Such as healers, shamans, or energy workers experienced in dealing with attachments which are qualified spirit release practitioners
– Grounding and purification*: Practices to restore energetic balance.
3. Integrating Medical and Spiritual Approaches
– Consult mental health professionals: To rule out or treat underlying psychiatric conditions.
– Spiritual support: Complement medical treatment with spiritual healing such a remote spirit release therapy.
-Holistic approach: Combining therapy, medical intervention, and energetic healing for comprehensive care.
While many report meaningful relief through spiritual work, it’s essential to approach these issues with compassion and awareness. Not all symptoms attributed to spiritual attachments are solely caused by unseen influences; biological, medical, and psychological factors play a critical role.
If you or someone you know experiences severe or persistent symptoms such as hearing voices, delusions, or significant distress, seeking professional mental health support is crucial. Combining medical treatment with spiritual understanding can often provide a more comprehensive path to healing.
Negative spiritual attachments—such as earthbound and dark energies—may influence mental health by creating or exacerbating feelings of fear, anxiety, depression, and even hallucinations. Recognizing these influences requires discernment, compassion, and a holistic approach that respects both spiritual beliefs and medical science.
If you believe you are experiencing negative energetic influences, consider seeking guidance from qualified spiritual practitioners alongside mental health professionals. Addressing both the energetic and psychological aspects can foster genuine healing and restore balance to mind and spirit.
Remember: Your mental health and well-being are vital. Whether through spiritual means, medical treatment, or a combination of both, support is available.
How Remote Spirit Release Therapy Can Help Remove Negative Attachments and Empower You
A remote spirit release therapy session is a powerful energetic healing process designed to identify and dislodge unwanted spiritual attachments—such as earthbound, dark energies, or entity cords—that may be influencing your mental, emotional, and physical health. During a session, trained practitioners work energetically to detect and safely release these influences, clearing your energy field of disruptive energies. This process can restore your sense of sovereignty, allowing you to regain control over your thoughts, feelings, and life choices. As the attachments are removed, many individuals experience a renewed sense of clarity, emotional stability, and inner peace, which in turn empowers them to make positive decisions, set healthy boundaries, and pursue personal growth with confidence. Remote sessions offer a convenient and effective way to address energetic disturbances from anywhere in the world, supporting your journey toward greater self-awareness, spiritual freedom, and well-being.
