Negative Entities

Entities, a Taboo Topic

Entities are probably one of the most scary and most avoided topics in
modern shamanism (native shamans are more feisty than New Age
shamans!). Yet an understanding of entities is a must for any real
shaman, and highly recommended for anybody who wants to stay healthy
and live a good life. Though entities are invisible to ordinary physical
sight, their presence and activities leave tracks in our lives -- of a very
negative kind. Our society trains people from early age to be in denial
about anything invisible or spiritual, which then creates a lot of fear. And
so it isn't surprising that you meet many "tough guys" who watch horror
movies but freak out when confronted with a ghost or the idea that
entities are real. Here is a typical case:

Once, on a workshop of shamanism, one of the participants, let's name

him Jim, heard of entities and became so frightened that he was lying on
the ground shivering uncontrollably for hours (to top it off he also puked
in my sandwich box!). Though we did a banishing ritual and tried
everything to assure him, and though somebody kept him company
throughout the night, he was so freaked out that he left and never came
back for any shamanic workshops with that teacher, who happened to be
a genuine and powerful shaman!

For this reason many teachers of shamanism avoid the word "entities" like
the plague. They call them negative energies or spirit intrusions so as not
to freak people out. Both of these terms are not quite correct. In the end
everything is energy, even you and I are. But if you stub your toe on a
brick you won't tell your friends that negative energy affected your foot!
So let's not split hairs. I am always in favour of calling a spade a spade
instead of beating around the bush. Entities are conscious beings. It is
therefore simply incorrect to call them negative energies. “Spirit
intrusions” is a term that includes many different things that can be stuck
in the human (or animal) aura, too numerous to list them all here in great
detail. However, you should know that some of these so called spirit
intrusions are non-sentient, some are man-created or impressions from
past lives, and some are entities. Of all forms of spirit intrusions, entities
are usually the most damaging.

I am offering this article not for entertainment nor to scare people but for
those who wish to protect themselves from entities and get rid of the ones
they already have. As said before, the path of shamanism is not for
wimps. If you want to be a shaman, be ready to confront your fears and a
couple of entities! Whether you believe in them or not, entities are real
and chances are you have got them. Would you like to do something
about that or would you rather be in denial? Imagine you found out you
had intestinal worms. Would you go and get medicine to cast them out, or
would you go to the pub and get drunk so you can forget about them
because the idea of worms freaks you out? Now, if you are ready to take
the path of action and the path of the warrior, then read on.
 What are Entities?
The unknown is always what creates the greatest fear. So let’s get to
know entities, because once you understand them, you will fear them
less! Entities are spirit beings, that means they have a non-physical body
and live in the realm of spirit, to be specific, on the astral (see Middle
WorldPage). Entities are not spirits of deceased humans or animals but
something else altogether. They have been called astral wildlife, which I
feel is a good descriptive term. Entities really belong in the demonic
realm, but many are living on the lower astral planes which are interlaced
with our physical world (a.k.a. Middle World). Entities differ in size from
tiny beings the size of a bug to huge forms of several metres long. The
biggest entity I ever removed was about 20 metres long! Entities come in
many shapes. Some look similar to beings from our animal kingdom,
others look completely alien. I have chosen the picture of the tarantula for
the Entity Page because I have indeed come across and removed
spiderlike entities on occasion. However, the more common type looks
worm or snakelike but the head shape is usually very unlike snakes or
worms. Other entities may look like jellyfish or octopuses. You find all kind
of strange creatures among entities. But no matter what they look like,
they all have something in common:

Like all beings entities need to feed! And what they feed on is the energy
of living beings such as humans and animals. For this they attach
themselves to the energy field or aura of a person or animal and then
start drinking their energy! In essence entities are vampires and
parasites, for they feed on others' life force (prana). Many entities have a
very low level of intelligence and to them a human being is just food. You
could compare those with mosquitoes or leeches. They also don't drink
your blood because they are "evil" but because they are hungry and you
smell good! But there are other entities which are intelligent and cunning
and know exactly what they are doing -- which is much more than just
take your energy. Some of those are very powerful and have been around
for a long time. These ancient and highly developed entities we call
demons. The Christian concept of demons is not correct, but I will talk
about this another time. For now it shall suffice to say that demons are
wilier and more dangerous entities and that they are more difficult to
remove.

Could I possibly have entities?

Unfortunately yes! About 99% of modern people have entities. Basically
anybody has entities unless they have done extensive shamanic work --
real shamanic work which involves facing one's issues and removing
entities, not lightweight New Age type workshops. People who haven’t
done extensive and deep spiritual work always have entities. There are
many reasons why people have entities. Part of this is vulnerability to
entities because of weaknesses in the aura, part of it is lifestyle related --
more about this later on. A wise shaman was once asked by a student
how you know that you have entities. He answered: "if your life is a mess
you have entities!" And that is definitely true. On the other hand, if your
life seems quite peaceful and calm, that doesn't mean you have no
entities, you may just not have so many and not of the worst kind, or,
more likely your entities are dormant because you are living a
materialistic life! Entities usually get active when you start to do
something spiritual, when you engage in serious spiritual practices and
come closer to the Oneness. That is when entities feel threatened and
begin to put obstacles in your path and mess your life up. But don't blame
it on your spiritual practices, they only shone the light on what was hidden
away in the dark for a long time. As long as you are living an unspiritual
life entities usually operate in hidden. Entities are devious and the
problems they cause in your life can be horrendous.

How Entities Affect You

The one thing that all entities have in common is that they feed on your
energy. A person who has many entities or a couple of huge ones will
generally have low energy. Some people who have serious entity
infections will feel cold a lot, but that alone is not an indication for entities.
The general rule is the more entities you have, the less energy and vitality
(prana) you have. Entities can cause physical problems in the part of the
body or the chakra where they are stuck. A friend of mine always had pain
in her upper thigh. She had it checked by the doctor who found nothing
wrong, neither with the muscle nor the bone, but the pain persisted. I
didn't know about that, until one day, just to demonstrate what entities
are, I scanned her energy field and found an entity in her thigh! After I
removed it she never had pain in that place again!

Most entities will eventually cause physical disease and problems. Extreme
entity infestation could in the worst case scenario lead to premature death
as the entities will deplete your life force and / or wreck vital organs. I
would like to point out that we are talking about a shamanic concept of
disease here, and not what is "believed" to be the cause of disease
according to traditional medicine. Shamans see disease in a very different
way and treat it in a completely different way. The results can be quite
stunning at times. For example, once I removed an entity from a friend's
eyes and it resulted in her being able to see reasonably well without
glasses for the first time in her life! (Before she could hardly see even with
very strong glasses!) If a problem is caused by entities it is quite easy to
deal with. But not every physical problem is caused by entities! But the
good news is that entities can be dealt with, and that you don't have to
keep them!

The more advanced and cunning entities have another agenda altogether:
to cause separation. As entities are demonic beings, they loathe Oneness
and try everything to separate you from the Oneness with
God/Goddess/All-That-Is. They achieve this by pushing your buttons and
creating negative emotions in you, such as despair, apathy and
unreasonable fear (as you can see from the case of “Jim” described
above). In some cases when a person is being "possessed" by very
powerful entities or demons their character will change drastically, as the
entities influence them, and in the worst cases even run their lives! You
can be sure that entities are not going to create a life of prosperity,
abundance and joy for you! The opposite is the case. Their agenda is pain!
The more you are in despair, the further you will drift away from your
natural state of enthusiasm and joy which is close to Oneness. Therefore
entities will try to create such situations in your life that will cause you
maximum pain. And, they try to lead you astray spiritually wherever they
can, leading you to false teachers, and scaring you of the real ones who
could help you! They will rebel if you start to work with the Goddess and
will try to manipulate you to go back to disempowering religions. Their
purpose is to keep you from finding your power, which would make an end
to them! While you have entities you will never fully get into your power
nor to the Oneness!

If you seek out a healer or teacher who has real power, meaning the
power to remove entities and demons, or the power to help you find the
Oneness, the entities will do everything to prevent you from getting there!
Your car may suddenly break down, a family problem arises, or you may
get freaked out and suddenly fear the healer. As astral beings the entities
can hear your thoughts as if you spoke them out loud. They know exactly
what you are up to, what you fear, etc. Entities know every one of your
buttons and every one of your weaknesses and will exploit them
mercilessly! If you are a lazy person, they will manipulate you with your
tendency to be lazy. So instead of doing meditation or going to a healer
you stay at home and watch telly and have a couple of beers. If your
tendency is being a coward, they will tell you the healer is "dark", and
whisper in your ear that you should look for somebody more gentle and
"angelic" -- probably leading you to a false teacher or an evil person
wearing the cloak of "love and light". The entities will have no problems
letting you go to a Reiki healer because Reiki doesn't remove entities!
They may lead you to false teachers and quacks, and to those who have
no real power but put up a struggle when you do something that can
make a real shift in your life. I have seen this happening in my own life
and in the life of friends countless times. Here are some examples:

Once, when I was involved in an intensive Goddess devotional period

(see Becoming a Priestess), entities tried to manipulate me to stay away
from the shaman/healer I was working with and who had helped me so
much. They planted a thought in my mind that this healer was evil. I
noticed the mental manipulation only because my mind is trained
in Yoga and tends to be very discriminating and sharp. The thoughts in my
head felt slightly alien, besides that they were the opposite of what I had
been thinking of that healer before. Even when I had recognised what was
going on, I could not shut the entities up! It only stopped when I prayed
to the Goddess and simultaneously received an e-mail from said healer
who sensed that something was going on. This is a typical example of the
mental manipulation that entities are so good at!

When a friend of mine wanted to go to a powerful medicine

ceremony (designed to get rid of entities) she was tripped up by her
entities so badly that she almost didn't make it to the ceremonial place.
We didn't heed the omen (read the whole story on the Shaman’s
World Page) we received that morning, which led to her not being allowed
on the flight and having to take another flight for a lot of money. That
flight was delayed by hours, but rescheduled to an earlier time in her
absence, and she almost missed the second flight as well. When she
finally was on board of the plane, she thought nothing could go wrong
now -- but then the plane got into severe turbulences! She was sure the
plane would crash and that she was going to die and held her seat
neighbour's hand while around her passengers were praying and crying.
After landing, still ill from the rough flight, she had to take several trains
to go to her destination on her own. She had never travelled alone in her
life as this was forbidden to a woman of her faith. At first things were
going smoothly until she neared her destination, then the train suddenly
broke down... And the shaman who was to pick her up had another
ceremony that night and couldn't wait at the station indefinitely. She did
finally make it but it was a big drama.

When she arrived she was so shocked she couldn't even speak for quite a
while. Finally she told me the whole story and added she wanted to write
it down and call it "The Worst Day of my Life!" During the medicine
ceremony she got rid of a major demon. She is a very petite person but
developed great strength when her demon came up and I had to hold her
down and calm her down for a long time. However, after the medicine
ceremony she experienced very positive changes both in herself and her
life. She later said every human being ought to do such a medicine
ceremony at least once in their lives, and the world would be a better
place!

Needless to say she became a total believer in medicine ceremonies, as

well as in entities! It is easy to dismiss entities, but once you have felt
them stirring in you, or putting up a struggle when you begin to do true
spiritual work, or wriggling about in your body as the shaman pulls them
out, once you have experienced that you will turn into a believer too!
Some entities will try to destroy specific aspects of your life, such as your
relationships, family life, or your health. Entities can make people angry,
violent, and act totally out of character. A person with willpower, integrity
and a strong spiritual connection will not easily be taken over by entities,
but the weak-willed, the already violent and angry, and those under the
influence of alcohol and drugs will fall prey to entities' manipulations very
easily. People who haven't integrated their shadow and are in ego are also
more susceptible to entity control! I have read a book in which the author
describes how entities remote-controlled him to throw his child off a
building. He resisted, though barely. I have not personally experienced
such an extreme case, but I believe that this can happen. A word of
warning: never engage in conversation with your entities, neither out loud
nor mentally! If you do you will soon develop a co-dependent relationship
with your entities, besides you run the risk of being hauled off to the loony
bin!

Conclusion: entities are bad for you! Don't get them, and if you already
have them, get rid of them! How can you avoid getting entities? You must
know how entities get in to avoid being "infected"!

How Entities Get In

There are various ways of getting entities, and various activities and
lifestyle choices that predispose you to them. There are also places that
teem with entities and people who can transmit them to you, so be careful
where you go and with whom you mix!

Holes in the Aura

This is the most common way for entities to get in. An intact aura will
protect you quite well against entities. The only problem is very few
people have an intact aura. You develop holes in your aura if, for
example, you had surgery. When an incision into your skin is made, the
energy field is opened up as well and entities can get in. This is
aggravated by the fact that hospitals are among the worst places to be
with an open aura because many earthbound spirits, spirits of the recently
deceased and entities are hanging around in hospitals! And secondly,
unconsciousness makes you prone to possession by entities - both these
factors usually come together during surgery in a hospital. So, if you ever
had surgery you probably have entities.

Soul Loss
You can also get holes in the aura because you had a soul loss. This is a
shamanic term for losing a part of yourself, part of your spirit soul
because of a great trauma or a prolonged period of suffering and
unhappiness. When you lose a piece of your soul it leaves a big hole in
your aura. This type of hole cannot be closed by mere aura healing, Reiki
or crystal healing. For it to be permanently closed the missing soul piece
has to be retrieved and reinstalled by an experienced shaman. This
procedure is called soul retrieval. You can always book a soul
retrieval healing with me, even if you live far away. I am capable of doing
soul retrieval in a distance healing session, so I can help you wherever
you are.

In terms of entities this means, if you lost a loved one (whether a beloved
human or a beloved pet) and never got over it, if you had a traumatic
accident or any other great loss or trauma or period of prolonged
unhappiness you can be sure that you have holes in your aura caused
by soul loss, and, you can be quite sure that you have entities as well! In
these cases it is not enough to just remove all the entities, the soul loss
needs to be fixed by a proper soul retrieval, or you soon will attract new
entities that plague you!

Drugs
The use of drugs or alcohol also creates holes in the aura! This means if
you have ever been drunk, even once in your whole life, if you have ever
smoked marijuana or taken any other drugs, even once, you are prone to
have entities. Alcoholics and drug addicts usually have an aura that
resembles Swiss cheese and tend to have more entities than a flea-ridden
dog has fleas! Having close contact with substance abusers can expose
you to their entities as well.

And there are various other causes for holes in the aura as well, such as
physical injury and trauma, emotional problems, or insufficiently
developed chakras. Sometimes a person's energy body can already be
incomplete or damaged from birth, for example if they had a big trauma in
a past life. In the end any kind of weakness in the aura will expose you to
entities. I have yet to see a person with a completely intact energy body. I
specialise in repairing the subtle body and can see it very clearly. In
countless healing sessions I have never seen anybody whose energy body
was completely intact. And therefore I say the chances that you have
entities are almost 100 per cent.

Unconsciousness
Whenever you are unconscious you do not inhabit your body. It doesn't
matter whether this unconsciousness was caused by anaesthesia, the use
of drugs, or by fainting from low blood pressure. Whenever you are out,
other things can get in. A person who is drunk or on drugs may not be
fully unconscious, but they are still "out of it" and that is enough to open
them up to entities. If you have ever been unconscious you are likely to
have entities.

Close Contact
During intercourse of a lower nature entities are being transferred. When
your Muladhara chakra (a.k.a. base chakra) is linked to the Muladhara
chakra of another, as happens during intercourse, entities have a free-way
into your body! If the one you are sleeping with is an alcoholic, a drug
addict, or a negative man / woman who is full of entities, or worst of all,
a vampire, you can be sure that you will pick up many entities! Even if
your partner appears to be nice, but in their mind they are only thinking
of themselves, basically using you for their gratification, they will still
transfer entities to you. The only way to make sure that you are not
picking up entities during intercourse is to only have sacred sex. Sacred
sex is when the man sees the Goddess in the woman and she sees the
God in him. If this is one-sided it will not work -- as I found out the hard
way once, when I had to rid myself of dozens of entities after having slept
with a man, who seemed nice but as it turned out later had a very abusive
attitude towards women! So choose your sex partners carefully for you
may catch more than diseases by sleeping with the wrong partner, and a
condom is not going to protect you from entities! During my women's
empowerment workshop (see Path to Ecstasy) sexually transmitted
entities will be removed from the lower chakras. This is part of the
clearing work necessary to build a healthy energy body and healthy
relationships.

People with serious entity problems can sometimes be so negative that

mere contact with them is enough to transfer entities to you! In some
cases just having them in your house will do it! Like lice, entities like to
jump to a fresh source of energy from time to time. And if you are open at
that moment, because you had a few glasses of wine, or recently had
surgery, or simply because you have holes in your energy field, some of
their entities may jump over!

Crowds enable entities to jump over to new hosts with ease. Have you
ever been in a crowd and come home with a terrible headache, even
though you are not normally prone to headaches? If so you probably
picked something up in the crowd. It is generally a good procedure to take
a shower, put on new clothes and do psychic cleansing such
as smudging whenever you come home after having been in contact with
many people or in a crowd.

Sorcery
Entities and demons can also be sent to a person by sorcery (commonly
known as "black magic"). When entities are sent by a sorcerer they are
much more persistent than ordinary entities which are basically just
opportunists. Let me explain: if you are in an area where there are
entities, and they see you as an easy victim, because your energy field is
wide open, or because you happen to be drunk, they may get into you. If
on the other hand you are well-shielded, with an intact aura and totally
sober and in possession of yourself, the entities are not likely to go for
you. They will look for an easier victim. Even a lion will hunt the weakest
animal in the herd. If however somebody has cursed or hexed you, the
entities will throw themselves at you constantly until they get through
your defences and break through your intact aura or shields. Even the
strongest protection will break down eventually under such onslaught. I
had times when hundreds of entities were throwing themselves against
the warding of my living room, virtually bashing in their heads in the
desperate attempt to get in! Those were sent by sorcery of course. If
somebody sends you entities by sorcery you will need an experienced
shaman / witch / magician who knows how to deal with sorcery to sort
that problem out for you!

The Favourite Haunts of Entities

There are certain places that entities favour, sometimes because of the
nature of the place, sometimes because there they are likely to find food -
- that is suitable hosts. Places that have a lot of stagnant energy and very
low vibration are favoured by entities. If your house is messy, dark and
dank, entities will feel at home in it! So keep your place clean and tidy!
Likewise the cemetery, with its energy of decay and death attracts
entities. Entities can feed on extreme emotions, usually negative emotions
such as grief and despair, of which there is plenty at the cemetery!

Pubs, where people get drunk and open their aura up to entities, are also
among the favourite haunts of the astral critters! So are places where
people take drugs regularly, and of course the homes of drug addicts.
Mental institutions are another favourite place of entities. Many of the
patients there are full of entities themselves, and the drugs they are being
given open them up to entities even more. If you are working in such a
place -- as a friend of mine does -- you need to shield yourself and do
daily cleansing or you will be affected. Hospitals, as mentioned above, are
also places where there is an atmosphere of disease, despair and death
combined with heavy use of anaesthetics which makes them a very
favourable environment for entities. Finally, places where dark rites have
taken place will attract entities as well. Of course you may not be able to
avoid all these places at all times, but you can take good care when you
have to go there.

How to Get Rid of Entities

It is well known among shamans that the first part of shamanic work is to
get rid of all one's entities. There is no point in seeking empowerment
while you are full of entities. Because entities will hinder you on every turn
from coming into your power and will try everything to lead you astray.
You need a “psychic detox” before you can build up your inner strength,
your power as a shaman or as a magician. And that psychic detox is
getting rid of entities. Unfortunately getting rid of entities is a lot more
difficult than getting rid of intestinal parasites. A one time dose won’t do
it! To become completely clear of entities usually takes a year or longer
with traditional methods. There are ways to speed it up, medicine
ceremonies for instance, and if you do your share it will be ever so much
faster. But you have to understand that getting rid of entities takes more
than a one-time healing session – even though a lot can be accomplished
in just one session. And, that once you are clear you yourself will have to
take responsibility to stay clear!

The reason why entities can rarely be removed in one session is that they
are embedded in different layers of your aura and subconscious. I am
using a special technique that is very effective in extracting entities and
major demons even from deep layers of client's aura and being. The
techniques I am using are a blend of what I learned from an authentic
shaman and what my own spirits and spiritual helpers taught me.

The direct method, with physical presence of the seeker of healing,

enables them to feel and locate the entities themselves, which I
then remove. If they are too numbed out to feel or see anything on an
energetic level I can work without their help. (During a distance healing
their help is not required at all, which is often better for nervous or tense
people anyway). In this way all active entities are removed. Though at the
end of the session the recipient of the healing will feel completely free of
entities, a few weeks later one can usually find some more. In some cases
this could be because meanwhile they have picked up more entities due to
life-style choices they made. But the main reason is that removing entities
is a bit like peeling layers of an onion. Many entities and demons are
connected to certain unresolved issues and trauma which need to be
resolved to heal the weakness and permanently banish entities. When
people do intense spiritual work they open up deeper and deeper layers of
their subconscious and unconscious causing the entities residing in those
regions to become activated and accessible. Generally it takes about four
sessions of soul therapy to get somebody entity-free. If the cause of the
entity problem is sorcery or curses, other methods need to be employed
as well to neutralise those causes. If you wish to have your entities
removed, please go to the healing page where you can find more
information and / or book a healing session at the bottom of the page.

For surface intrusions, I have on numerous occasions used my self-made

exorcism bath salts with great success to cleanse myself of entities which
I had picked up in crowds, busy places or from negative people. This
however only works when you have just picked up the entities, before
they had time to firmly latch onto you and penetrate the deeper layers of
your aura. I highly recommend this type of regular cleansing to all those
who are exposed to negative people, drug users and the mentally ill, who
have to mix with people a lot, or are exposed to any other negativity on a
regular basis. The exorcism bath salts are also good to prevent any build
up of negativity if used regularly. They cannot normally cast out demons
or entities that are firmly and deeply lodged in your energy field. One of
my clients however reported that after using the exorcism bath salts he
saw two spirits coming out from him in the night. They wanted to get back
in but couldn't! You can read more about my self-made bath salts on
the Potions Page, or order them in the Magick Shop in the Bath
Salts section.

Smudging is only useful for surface entities that you have just picked up.
Unfortunately it will not go to deeper layers of the aura. And it definitely
won't be able to exorcise any demons! It is however useful to clear your
space of negative energies and random entities. It is also useful to cleanse
ritual tools, even crystals from negative energies. Always smudge if
negative people have been to your house, if there has been an argument
or any form of violence (even after the children had a fight!) or whenever
you sense negativity. You can smudge your pets as well if they allow it.
But please be careful not to burn them with the smudge stick or falling hot
embers!

How to Avoid Getting Entities

Once you are free of entities you probably wish not to have them again.
Short anecdote in this place: I once took part in medicine
ceremonieswhich were to last for three days. On the first day the shaman
removed a major demon from one of the participants. She left the next
morning and didn't attend the remaining two ceremonies. Later she e-
mailed me, and complained that the shaman had removed her "nice
demon", and that she was now feeling lonely without it!

It is strange what people get attached to at times! Hopefully you will not
be like her! From what I have written above, it should be quite clear now
how to avoid getting (new) entities. Just don't do the things which
predispose you to them! This means, never drink or take drugs. Have only
sacred sex or none at all. Avoid negative people, the insane and drug
users. Don’t go to places of negativity and if you must, be sure you are
shielded and in possession of yourself.

Be selective whom you let in your house. People bring their vibrations and
thought-forms with them and those often linger long after the visitor has
gone. Therefore cleanse the house and yourself if you have had contact
with negative people or after any argument. Another less well-known
method to keep your house clear is to take your shoes off right at the
door! For the simple reason that many entities attach themselves to the
feet, and as you don't usually walk barefoot outside that means to your
shoes! Now it makes perfect sense, why in the East people frequently take
their shoes off and wash their feet when entering temples or sacred
places, as well as in their homes. We Westerners have a lot to learn from
the East when it comes to psychic hygiene and psychic self-defence! You
can make a magickal spirit trap and keep that under your doormat. It will
prevent random entities from entering your home attached to the feet. (It
will unfortunately not prevent entities which are deeply embedded in other
people or yourself from entering your home!) Always take your shoes off
at the door and never allow visitors to trample through your house and
your sacred space with outdoor shoes.

If you are a healer you must do banishing rituals before and after each
client and smudge your tools, yourself and the place regularly. If you have
been to one of the above-mentioned places of negativity, or if you think
you have picked something up in a crowd or from negative people,
cleanse yourself as soon as you come home. First, take your clothes off
and put them in the laundry. Then take a full shower including over your
head and focus on negativity being washed away. Do appropriate
visualisation whilst taking the shower. Better still, take an exorcism bath.
You can order an effective exorcism bath from my Magick Shop on
the Bath Salts Page.

Also, to be safe avoid handshakes and hugs with those you don't feel good
about. I have always thought that handshakes and hugs are very
unhygienic practices. Besides, as you can read on the Vampire Page,
handshakes can be used to hex you or to dominate your will. No need to
be paranoid about it, but choose whom you allow physical contact. I hug
those I love and feel close to, but I don't let myself be compelled by social
customs to have close contact with people whom I don't like, who are
either physically or psychically unclean, or who just have a bad vibe! I do
Namaste (placing the palms together) to greet people and show my
respect. Remember, it is your decision, freedom of choice! Don't be
embarrassed to say no to something that you don't want to do. And lastly,
listen to your intuition – but never to fear manipulation by your entities!
You must learn to distinguish between the two! But before you can do that
you will have to embrace your shadow and mature your ego or those will
cloud your inner sight and your reason! Your intuition should tell you when
a person or a place has a bad vibration. If you have the sight you may
even see the entities in a person's aura! If so, best stay away! You must
learn to distinguish between your entities’ fear of a true healer and your
own intuition telling you somebody is not genuine and wishes to harm
you.

The best spiritual protection against entities is to have discipline, a clean

life-style and integrity! That means you have to integrate your shadow,
and mature your ego. Once you have done so entities will have much less
control over you -- should they get in. Self-pity, denial and a loser
mentality attract entities. Therefore learn how to Become a Winner and
give the entities no chance!

I have been told by a powerful shaman that iron discipline is the best
protection against entities! Also, try to develop discrimination so you can
distinguish between thoughts that are your own and entity-induced
thoughts. And lastly, develop courage, willpower and some backbone -- all
this will help you to avoid entity manipulation, besides, these qualities are
a must for a shaman anyway! Admittedly, entities and demons can do a
lot of damage, but they are not more powerful than you, not if you work
on yourself and develop yourself spiritually! If you want to beat entities
follow these guidelines:

1. Work on raising your awareness to the point where you are able to
examine all your thoughts and actions and are able to distinguish
between what is self and non-self, i.e. entities. Entities put thoughts
in your head. You must learn to be very discerning and very
observant at all times! Not an easy task, but doable!

2. Develop true spirituality as opposed to religious dogma. Spirituality

is really your direct connection to God/Goddess/All-That-Is aka
Great Spirit, which goes beyond organised religion and dogma and
avoids the detour of intermediaries such as a priests.
True spirituality also means integrating all aspects of your
personality, embracing your shadow, maturing your ego, releasing
social and religious conditioning and taking responsibility for yourself
and your life! Again, not an easy task, but doable.

3. Empower yourself through reclaiming all lost power and lost soul
pieces, through soul retrieval, shamanic work and other spiritual
practices. In the beginning you may need the help of an experienced
shaman for helping you with soul retrieval etc. or teaching you
methods of self-empowerment. In the later stages of your spiritual
journey you will be able to plod on on your own. Life is a journey of
becoming whole, and the ultimate goal of it is to return to Oneness,
to pure consciousness and your natural blissful state of being. Then
nothing will hurt or upset you any more. However, getting there is
not that easy and takes time. But even the longest journey begins
with a single step, so why not set your foot on the path of
empowerment today?
 For no entity or demon will have any power whatsoever over you when
you have become a higher developed, fully conscious and aware,
fully empowered human being, aligned with the power of
God/Goddess/All-That-Is! So fear nothing, but remember who you are.
Remember your power! It is great indeed and it is already within! Grasp it
and use it for the good of all!
