A spiritual attachment is energy from another person, actually another spirit as we are all spirits, that has attached itself to ours. A lot of my work with clients has to do with removing these attachments. Before going on to the most common types, I want to say a few words about the nature of spiritual attachments. We all have them. They block our energy in various ways. Spiritual attachments that come from another person have to do with an unresolved emotional connection. It can literally be anything, love, hate, lust, jealousy, envy, desire, trauma, you name it. The point is that the energetic attachment is formed by the persistent and not fully resolved emotion. These energetic attachments hook into us like a harpoon into a wale and keep us from swimming freely through the ocean of our lives.

I will talk about particular aspects of attachments in other blogs. For now, here are the most common sources.

Family: This is by far the most common source. It makes sense, of course. For most of us, the most important figures in our lives, especially the formative years, are family. We also often have intense, suppressed, and long-lasting emotions regarding family. Spiritual attachments to family members often go the deepest and can have profound implications to ones life and happiness.

Current and Ex Lovers and Spouses: Definitely a strong second. Passion, love, lust, rejection, anger, hurt, and desire are strong energies that form strong spiritual attachments. Like family, lovers and spouses, both past and current, can be responsible for deep and significant spiritual attachments.

Friends and Acquaintances: A distant third. There are many different levels of emotional intensity in seemingly casual relationships. The vary nature of the relationship being casual means that you may not have a lot of insight into the undercurrents in the other person. So, you can easily become an unwitting victim of their anger, mistrust, envy, or indeed, their desire. All of theses emotions can form energy attachments from their spirit to your spirit.

Coworkers, Bosses and Employees: Many of my clients are business owners or executives. I am sometimes amazed by the sheer number and weight of attachments they have from their employees. Of, course it works the other way too. I have to pull off the bosses or the manager’s attachments from employees as well. Typically these attachments are very minor. Not something that would significantly effect the course of ones life, but never the less, a drag on the system and a lightening of the load when they are gone.

Now, for an interesting tidbit. It doesn’t seem to matter how long ago these attachments were formed. They can last decades and dare I say it, lifetimes, but that is another topic. Also, since these are essentially spiritual attachments, they can and often do persist after death. However, removing them works the same either way.

There are also less common sources of spiritual attachments that I will address in other blogs.

I hope this is interesting and helpful to some of you. You can find more about spiritual attachments and spiritual development in my book Soulbaby: A Spiritual Odyssey

Thank you.
