My Personal Journey: Overcoming Negative Energies and Entities
As a psychic medium, I’ve personally experienced the disruptive effects of negative entities. At times, I could hear and feel their presence due to my heightened spiritual sensitivity. But through specific techniques—many of which I share in this article—I was able to regain control of my energy and step into empowerment. If I could do it, so can you. This isn’t just about protection; it’s about transformation and sovereignty over your energy field.
What Are Negative Entities and How Do They Influence Us?
Negative entities are non-physical beings that feed off lower vibrational emotions like fear, anger, and despair. Unlike humans, who have the divine gift of creation, these entities lack creative power in this realm and instead manipulate human energy to sustain themselves. Negative entities can only create through the power of humans. Humans possess a profound spiritual creation power that allows us to manifest reality through our thoughts, words, and actions. This power is a reflection of the divine spark within us — the part of our being that is connected to the higher realms of existence. However, this same power can also be manipulated or misused, especially when we are not mindful of our spiritual state. Negative entities begin to whisper doubts, magnify fears, encourage destructive behaviors and seek to derail us from spiritual sovereignty.
They can influence people by:
Whispering doubts and fears, magnifying insecurities.
Creating emotional instability and energy drain.
Disrupting sleep, relationships, and spiritual progress.
Manifesting as environmental disturbances or oppressive sensations.
Affecting health negatively.
Why Do Negative Entities Target Certain People?
Those with a strong spiritual calling or healing abilities are often prime targets. Entities aim to derail individuals who have the potential to uplift and help others. They also latch onto those who unknowingly keep their vibration low through unresolved trauma, constant stress, and excessive exposure to negative environments.
Your DNA and energy field act as an antennas, picking up vibrational frequencies. The HeartMath Institute has shown that the heart generates an electromagnetic field that influences our well-being. When in a state of peace and joy, our vibration naturally repels negative energies. However, prolonged emotional distress weakens this shield, making it easier for entities to attach.
How Do Negative Entities Attach to People?
1—Emotional Trauma & Unresolved Pain – Entities seek out people stuck in negative emotional loops.
2—Energetic Portals & Environmental Factors – Certain locations hold stagnant or chaotic energy that attracts these beings.
3—Spiritual Practices Without Protection – Unprotected channeling or spiritual exploration can invite unwanted attachments.
4—Prolonged Exposure to Negative Influences – Fear-based media, toxic relationships, substance abuse, and even certain foods and medications can lower vibrational defenses.
5 Common Ways That Negative Entities Operate
1—Preventing Human Spirits from Moving on After Death
Negative entity attachments can impede the transition of human spirits to the afterlife, trapping them in a state of limbo, unrest, and fear. Unresolved trauma, attachments to the material world, and the influence of malevolent forces can hinder the soul's journey beyond the earthly realm. Furthermore, the fear of judgment or punishment may compel spirits to linger, unable to find solace or redemption. For more information about this phenomenon, check out this article I wrote about human spirit attachments.
2—Feeding off Negative Energy
Negative entities thrive on chaos and discord, seeking to disrupt harmony and sow division wherever they go. They may haunt tormented individuals that often emit heightened levels of such energies for various reasons—including feeding off of negative emotions, exploiting vulnerabilities, and aggravating psychological disturbances.
Negative entities often exacerbate preexisting psychological disturbances in tormented individuals, such as depression, anxiety, and psychosis. By amplifying these disturbances, they can further destabilize the individual's mental and emotional state, deepening their torment.
3—Exploiting Vulnerabilities
Tormented individuals may be more psychologically and spiritually vulnerable, making them easier targets for this type of manipulation and influence. Negative entities may exploit these vulnerabilities to exacerbate the individual's suffering and maintain control over them.
4—Resonance with Darkness
Tormented individuals may already be in a state of spiritual turmoil or darkness, which resonates with the malevolent energies of negative entities. They may be drawn to such individuals due to resonance with their dark nature (vibrational matching), intensifying the individual's suffering through their presence and influence.
5—Deceptive Tactics
Negative entities often employ deceptive tactics to manipulate individuals by convincing them they are part of an exclusive, elite group of interdimensionals/extradimensionals/extraterrestrials, dieties, spirits, aliens, etc. This illusion of belonging to a special, secretive mission plays on a person's desire for significance, inflating the ego and creating a sense of superiority. These entities will then use this false sense of importance to compel the person to take certain actions or follow specific directives, all under the guise of fulfilling a grand purpose.
The true mission of these negative entities is not to empower but to control. By inflating the ego, they distract people from their genuine spiritual path, diverting them from their true mission of personal growth and service to others.
Instead of fostering authentic spiritual development, this manipulation leads to confusion, isolation, and a disconnection from their higher self and divine purpose. Recognizing and breaking free from this manipulation is essential for reclaiming spiritual sovereignty and staying aligned with one's true path.
7 Subtle Symptoms of Negative Entity Attachment
Many people remain unaware of negative entity attachments until they begin experiencing persistent, unexplained shifts in their thoughts, emotions, and even physical health. While other factors can certainly cause or contribute to these symptoms, the following signs may indicate an entity attachment:
1—Sudden Mood Swings
Experiencing extreme or unexplained changes in mood—such as sudden feelings of anger, sadness, or fear without a clear reason—can happen to anyone from time to time. However, when these emotional shifts become chronic or feel overwhelmingly intense, and there's no identifiable cause in your daily life, it's worth considering the possibility of external negative spiritual influences. These influences can amplify and distort emotions, making individuals feel out of control or unlike themselves. Seeking spiritual guidance and clearing practices can help alleviate these imbalances.
2—Chronic Fatigue
Persistent exhaustion that doesn’t improve with rest can be a subtle yet significant symptom of a spirit or entity attachment. This type of fatigue often feels different from typical tiredness; it may be accompanied by a pervasive sense of heaviness, as if an unseen weight is pressing down on you.
Many individuals experiencing this symptom report feeling emotionally and spiritually drained, even after a full night's sleep or extended periods of rest.
This exhaustion can manifest as a lack of motivation, difficulty concentrating, and an overall sense of disconnection from oneself and one's environment. It's important to note that this is not merely the result of physical fatigue or stress; it often feels like an energetic depletion that cannot be replenished through ordinary means.
If you find yourself in this state regularly, especially when coupled with other symptoms like mood swings or anxiety, it may be beneficial to explore spiritual cleansing practices.
3—Persistent Negative Thoughts
A sudden onset of intrusive, dark, or self-destructive thoughts that feel foreign or out of character can be a strong indicator of negative entity attachment or influence.
These thoughts may arise unexpectedly, often in stark contrast to your typical mindset or emotional state, leaving you feeling unsettled or confused.
While everyone experiences negative thoughts occasionally, those influenced by entities often feel particularly invasive, persistent, and difficult to shake, as if they are not entirely your own. Negative entities are known to exploit our natural telepathic abilities, subtly implanting thoughts into our minds. Because telepathy is an innate human capacity, these implanted thoughts can seem indistinguishable from your own internal dialogue. You may find yourself suddenly grappling with fear, doubt, anger, or despair, even when there’s no immediate cause. In severe cases, these thoughts can be destructive or self-sabotaging, such as feelings of unworthiness, thoughts of harm, or irrational fears.
These entities use telepathy as a tool to try and weaken your mental and emotional state, distorting your perception and making you more vulnerable to further influence. It’s crucial to pay attention to the nature and frequency of these thoughts. If they seem to come out of nowhere, feel out of character, or don’t align with your usual beliefs, it may indicate an external influence.
4—Unexplained Physical Issues
Developing unusual physical symptoms can be a subtle sign of negative entity attachments, particularly when these symptoms elude medical explanation. Often, individuals find themselves visiting healthcare professionals only to be told that their symptoms do not have a clear medical diagnosis. This can lead to frustration and a sense of helplessness, as the physical discomfort persists without any identifiable cause.
5—Disrupted Sleep
Experiencing nightmares, night terrors, or waking up at odd hours with a sense of dread or the feeling of being watched can be sign of negative entity presence and often is. However, it's essential to consider that they can also stem from psychological factors within the mind and nutritional imbalances as well. Nightmares and night terrors often reflect our inner fears, anxieties, and unresolved issues. They can serve as manifestations of stress, trauma, or emotional turmoil that the subconscious mind is processing. A vitamin B1 deficiency is thought to be associated with nightmares.
6—Feelings of Oppression, Being Watched or Followed
While it is subtle for most adults, these sensations can be very strong for children and should not be ignored.
7—Feeling Isolated
Negative entities often attempt to isolate individuals from those who are trying to help them by planting seeds of doubt and spreading lies about the person offering support. This tactic is designed to sever the connection between the individual and their source of guidance, leaving them more vulnerable to the entity's influence.
Identifying Entity Attachments in Physical Locations
Negative entity and demonic attachments can also manifest in physical locations, leaving behind traces of their presence. Places with a history of violence, trauma, or spiritual unrest are particularly susceptible to such influences.
Signs of entity attachments in physical locations may include feelings of heaviness or dread, unexplained phenomena like some of the signs mentioned above, and a palpable sense of unease or discomfort.
Special Considerations for Children and Lightworkers
Negative entities may attach to children due to their innocence and openness, while they may target lightworkers to disrupt their spiritual progress and mission. It’s important to be assured and to reassure children that we are never alone and have the power within ourselves to overcome challenges in our spiritual journeys.
Encourage open communication and provide a supportive environment where the affected individual feels free to express their thoughts, fears, and experiences without fear of judgement, ridicule, or punishment.
In my experience, introducing children to the concept of guardian angels and spirit guides has proven to be one of the most impactful methods for fostering empowerment.

Avoiding and Removing Negative Entities
Preventing and removing negative entity/demonic attachments requires a multifaceted approach to spiritual wellness. Creating a safe and empowered spiritual environment is essential. Moreover, it's vital to understand a fundamental truth: Negative entities are repelled by the vibrations of love and gratitude. If you suspect an attachment, take action immediately to clear your energy and restore balance. Here are some of the most effective ways:
Here are 6 Ways to Protect Yourself and Repel Negative Energies and Entities
1—Practice Daily Energy Cleansing
Use tools like sage, palo santo, incense, crystals and/or essential oils to cleanse your living space and aura regularly. Visualization techniques, such as imagining protective light surrounding you, can also be very powerful. Donna Eden's Daily Energy Routine when done daily is a powerful tool for strengthening your energies.
2—Maintain a Positive Mindset
Focus on elevating your thoughts and emotions. Engage in activities that bring joy, peace, and love. The higher your vibrational state, the less susceptible you are to negative influences. Connect as much as possible with other spiritually minded people that can offer support in times of difficulty.
3—Strengthen Your Spiritual Practices
Regular meditation, prayer, or chanting can help you stay connected to higher spiritual energies, making it harder for negative entities to attach themselves to you.
Create a daily practice of thanking your spiritual guides, guardian angels, and/or another higher power (such as Archangel Michael or the Christ energies) for protection and assistance. You can invoke these benevolent beings by simply thanking them for their presence, guidance, and protection.
4—Set Strong Boundaries and Command Your Space
Verbally and mentally set clear intentions that negative entities are not welcome in your space. You can say something like, “I command all negative energies to leave this space now and never return.” Without anger, resentment, or fear, you can assertively declare that you do not consent to any form of intrusion or interference in your energy field or physical space.
This really works if you believe it and remember that you as a divine spiritual human are much stronger than these negative entities and that they are repelled by our empowerment and ability to love.
5—Seek Support from Spiritual Practitioners
If you feel overwhelmed or unable to clear an attachment on your own, seek help from a trusted spiritual healer or psychic counselor who can guide you through the process of removal and protection. At Sacred Awaken, I can help with this process and assist with these situations on a case by case basis.
6—Grounding and Connection with Nature
Regular grounding practices are essential for maintaining a strong and vibrant aura, ensuring optimal energy flow and protection against energetic disturbances. Work on fostering a deep connection with nature by spending time outdoors, exploring natural surroundings, and connecting with the elements.
Nature has a healing and protective energy that can strengthen our spiritual resilience. Grounding, also known as Earthing, facilitates a harmonious exchange of energy between the physical body and the Earth's electromagnetic field, which in turn strengthens the aura.
When we connect with the Earth's energy through direct contact, such as walking barefoot on grass or soil, we absorb an abundance of negative ions, which are beneficial for our overall well-being. These negative ions help to neutralize excess positive charges in the body and help cleanse the aura of energetic debris, promoting balance and vitality.
By staying aligned with the higher aspects of our being, we close the door to negative entities, rendering them powerless in our lives.
