Intrusive Entities and Energies

Over the years, people have used many words to describe inner experiences that feel overwhelming, invasive, or “other.” Some traditions, like the one I learned through call these-entities or intrusive energies. That language made sense at a time when we did not yet have clear ways to understand how trauma, beliefs, and the nervous system shape perception and sensation.

The experiences themselves are very real, let me state that clearly. What has evolved is our understanding of why they happen - and how healing actually occurs.

When people say…."I feel an intrusive energy”

What is usually happening:

An internal state or protective response has been held in the body or psyche for a long time and is now asking to be released.

When people say …“Something is attached to me”

What is usually happening:

A bond belief, or emotional pattern formed during high stress or grief that has not yet been integrated, so it feels separate rather than your own.

When people say… “There’s something stuck in my body”

What is usually happening:

Unprocessed energy related to trauma, inherited stories, or chronic stress has become patterned in tissue or posture.

When someone says… “It feels foreign, or something that’s not me”

What is usually happening:

The system learned to separate from an experience in order to survive, and that separation now feels like “otherness.”

What some traditions called “crystalized intrusive energies” are now understood as internal energy that could not be processed at the time it arose. These patterns can live in muscles, joints, organs, or the spine and may contribute to pain or illness - not because something entered from outside, but because the body adapted to survive an overwhelming experience.

Earlier approaches often used symbolic or ritual language and practices because the nervous system responds to meaning and safety. Relief occurred not because something external was removed, but because the system finally felt safe enough to release what it had been holding.

It felt safe enough because - the meaning of the process matched what the person was feeling somatically, and their belief that the process worked allowed their nervous system to relax. In that state of coherence, the system recognized that it was safe to let go of what it had been holding.

There was no internal argument or resistance happening any longer.

Release followed because safety arrived, not because force was applied. That’s also not placebo in the dismissive sense- that’s how regulation works. Belief matters. It is not pretending, denial, or blind faith. It is the nervous system’s expectation of outcome. When expectation shifts threat decreases, your inner guidance system can relax and becomes less guarded. The system is in a different state of being where it can release what it no longer needs- because it belongs to you, not something outside you.

The body doesn’t ask: “Is this metaphysically true?”

It asks: “Am I safe now?”

.

Below I keep my original explanation of Intrusive Energies and Entities because it honors a long-held tradition that has meaning and has helped countless people find relief. That language reflects how these experiences often feel in the body and psyche. Over time, however, my understanding has deepened. I now see more clearly how trauma, belief, and the nervous system shape these sensations, experiences and perceptions.

What you feel, sense and experience is 100% real. What has expanded is the explanation - so that healing no longer depends on something being removed from you, but an understanding of the importance of your own system feeling safe enough to release what it has been holding. This evolution returns agency to you, without dismissing your experience. I have worked with enough clients to see the experiences are real and I have helped countless people in the traditional way and still do when it is appropriate and helpful to do so.

I do not take any of it lightly. My goal is to help you release what no longer serves you and return you to balance and harmony.

** Intrusive Energies and Entities **

The Shaman works with 3 types of energies. Fluid energies, crystalized energies and intrusive entities.

An intrusive entity can either come from another one of our own lifetimes that has awakened from the unconscious and is demanding space inside us, or most often this intrusive entity is a spirit that died, often times a relative that passed. These are spirits that are caught between the worlds. They don’t know how to ‘Go Home’ so we need to help them. This happens more then you might think. If the person died without saying their good byes, or expressing their ‘I love you’s to those still alive or felt they had unfinished business, or maybe they think you need them because you didn’t want them to go, you didn’t give them permission to die peacefully. They can attach themselves to the closest person(usually a family member, many times a child) that is psychically or energetically open. Many times the person doesn’t know it, but they begin showing signs of feeling like they have thoughts or feeling that don’t seem to be their own, or just feeling “off” or having pain, constant bad mood or snappy when this is not how they usually are and you don’t know why. These entities can eventually become very toxic. There are also entities that may have died suddenly and they don’t know they are dead or they were angry at life, or they weren’t ready to die, they may have felt no one understood them or that life ‘did them wrong’.

Next, there intrusive energies these are are energies directed at us out of hurt or upset and these take a fluid form. They are more recent. Have you recently ended a personal or work relationship that didn’t end well. Was the other person very angry and directing daggers at you or negative hateful thoughts and energies?

The last are crystalized intrusive energies these are energies that have lodged themselves deeply into tissues, organs, muscles or the spine. You may have some pain or discomfort, chronic illness, chronic joint or muscle pain, low back, neck or spine pain etc. These need to be extracted so they don’t continue to cause harm. You may have had a pain or issue for a very long time and every doctor you go to has no explanation for it. Your fine as far as they can see from all the tests they do. It could be a crystalized energy lodged in the physical body. These crystalized energies usually come from childhood trauma or injury or from the way in which we died in another lifetime, or they are energies that were once fluid and now have become crystalized over time.

Intrusive energies and entities sounds a bit scary but it is simply a process of cleansing and extracting these energies or an entity. Believe it or it is not uncommon to have many crystalized energies and if you are around very low vibrational people at work or you come across someone who is throwing energetic darks at you. We can pick up this from ill intended people.

We have many conditions that are caused by these intrusive energies that don’t belong to us. This also goes for children and young people too. There are many children that have intrusive energies but what’s happening is they are being medicated for energetic conditions because doctors don’t know about the workings of energy medicine.

As we become fearless and we raise our vibrations we realize there is nothing in the invisible world that can harm us, but we must clear the field and the affinities. The world of spirit is full of energies and entities that want to work with us, help you, support us and guide us in whatever we want to do and Co-create the life we dare to dream of.
