Protecting Yourself
Can spirits follow you home?
Yes, spirits do have the capability, and often the desire to follow an individual home. Spirit attachment is a common definition used to describe an event wherein, a spirit or entity is attracted to an individual’s personal and/or individualized characteristics. What people in general tend to dismiss is the reality that spirits were at one time just like you and me--human beings. Some people have certain qualities and physical attributes that attract certain spirits, whether that individual reminds that spirit of someone, or that they have a specific personality trait that reminds the spirit of him/herself, or of life in general. This in turn can result in spirit attachment or attraction.
What is the difference between spirit attachment and welcoming a spirit home with you?
Welcoming a spirit or entity home with you differs greatly from spirit attachment and this is why. Spirit attachment or attraction is not a choice, whereas welcoming a spirit to come home with you is. When you willingly and with knowing intent invite a spirit or entity to follow you home, you are opening a door for what could be a potentially harmful situation. Opening a door allows ANY spirit or inhuman entity to invade your life and your home. By doing this you are giving this “Spirit” permission to do what it wants, when it wants. Spirits are like people, there are good and there are evil.
WARNING: If you are going to open a door and welcome a spirit into your life, then please use precautions and be aware that there may be negative repercussions.
Protecting yourself
If you find yourself in a position where you feel vulnerable or defenseless, there are several ways in which to protect yourself. These methods will vary, depending on your own personal beliefs. Here are a few examples of some effective traditional methods.
Prayer
Regardless of one's faith or belief system, prayer can be a powerful tool, and often used as a means of shielding one from evil and negative energy.
Smudging
The practice of burning sage, or a combination of sage mixed with cedar and lavender or other dried herbs, stems from rituals and ceremonies of spiritual, herbal, medicinal, and cultural teachings that have been passed down through the ages, and commonly used by Native Americans and Mystics to cleanse out negative energy and to replenish positive, healing energy.
