Therapy.

What is an Attached Spirit?
An attached spirit is when an earthbound spirit is attracted to a living person and then begins to "hang out"
with the living person. After a while, the spirit finds that they become emotionally attached. Often the spirit
will feel safe or even complacent about being with the person.
In most cases attached spirits don't have any ill-will and they don't mean to harm the person. It's almost
always just that the spirit had some connection to the person, either emotionally, similar life-experiences, or
the spirit could have known the person in life or even a past life.
Once the spirit has been released, the living person will begin to re-learn what it's like to be alone in their own
bodies again.
Several options and methods are available to the person that is experiencing either Spirit Possession or
Attached Spirits. Traditionally, the removal of spirits has been dictated to the church or religious organizations.
Spirit Behavior in Possession
Possession is usually not a total possession. The person usually has the majority of control. The person can live and function in their life; however, it takes a large amount of control to attempt to live normally. The spirit is always there confusing the person's thinking clamoring for attention. Usually the spirit is friendly enlightened, and protective until the person tells it to leave permanently. Then the spirit gets agitated and begins to show its true
nature. The nature of the spirit is one of hatred. The spirit then concentrates
energy to destroying the person.
Stages of Possession
These are basic stages of possession.
1. Partial Influence:
- Spends most of their free time channeling.
- The spirit begins to control and influence the person's behavior and social
contacts.
- Friend's and family notice the person's behavior is getting strange
- Wants to be isolated from friends and family so that they can spend more time with the spirit.
2. Partial Possession: There is partial control of the mind, speech and some body movements.
- Dreams become intense nightmares.
- Sleep is constantly disturbed.
- Constant headaches.

concentration needed for school, work and normal life activities.

- Shows agitation by swearing and cursing.
3. Total Possession:
- Not able to function in life.
- Needs to be institutionalized or commits suicide.
- The doctors diagnosis is mental insanity.
Spirit Releasement Therapy
Spirit Releasement Therapy is an excellent method of depossession developed by the late Dr. William
Baldwin. It is sometimes referred to as, “A clinical approach to depossession”.
In the Spirit Releasement Therapy (SRT) method, attached spirits are seen as "parasites" that feed off the
energy of the living host. In some cases the spirit is made to feel guilty for invading the host. However, all
interactions are encouraged to be non-confrontational and all spirits are invited to transition, or cross-over.
Symptoms of spirit attachment can include:
- An inner voice that constantly criticizes you
- A variety of changing physical maladies with no obvious cause
- Irrational fear, anger, sadness or guilt or
Spirit Releasement at Elevated Therapy
This therapy consists of eight distinct steps. Firstly, the consciousness of the client is altered as he
or she focuses on the inner processes, an internal focus.
1. The first step is to discover and identify any attached discarnate spirit, or entity. I ask the person to guide
me through the landscape of their mind and psyche. This is done with the client in a relaxed and altered state
through a process of non-leading questions, which incorporate the mental, spiritual and physical reporting on
the part of the client where I look for clues that assist me in the discovery of an attached entity. The attached
spirit seems to lodge at the level of the unconscious.
2. The second step is diagnosis. The earthbound spirit of a deceased human is the most common attachment,
however, there are many other types of non-physical beings, spirits of non-human beings and non-earth
beings which interfere with living people. The different types require individual treatment. These steps apply
to the attached earthbound spirit of a deceased human being.
3. The third step is to engage the spirit in dialogue in order to determine what emotions or physical needs
have kept it on the earth plane, the circumstances which led to the attachment to the person in the first place,
and the vulnerability or susceptibility which first allowed the entity to attach itself to the client. I assist the
entity in resolving its own issues. The resolution of this emotional energy is extremely important and is
usually enough to effect the release.
4. The fourth step is the actual release of the spirit into the Light.
The entity is usually greeted by the spirits of family or friends who are already in Spirit. This is a
phenomenon similar to the experience described in a NDE.
There is often a highly charged and emotional reunion as the spirits welcome the earthbound spirit home.
5. The fifth step is a specific guided imagery of Healing Light. It is very important and necessary to fill the
space left by the departing being or beings. There is often an emptiness left. The client is asked to connect
with a brilliant spark of Light deep in the centre of the body. They are guided to expand the light to fill the
body, then expanding outward about an arm's length all around through the Aura. This forms a shimmering
protective bubble of Light surrounding the person.
This visualisation is repeated several times each day by the client after the session for a week or so as a
meditation to strengthen it.
6. CHAKRA BALANCING
The sixth step concerns the balancing of the Chakras which need to be purified, activated and blockages
eliminated after releasement of an attached entity.
This represents a separate means of harmonising our entire energy system and balancing it. This allows you
to be receptive for constructive energies entering your aura and able to neutralise negative vibrations.
The Chakras need to be open and work together harmoniously as they act as antennas for the entire range of
energy vibrations, they connect us with what is going on in our environment, in nature and in the universe.
They are our subtle sensory organs.
7. You will be given a prayer to take home with you and to recite daily for the next seven days. There will
still be thought forms, residue and dysfunctional energies after the entity has been removed during our session
and this `special` prayer will move to clear those.
8. The eight step entails ongoing therapy. It is fundamental to resolve the conflict and to heal the residue and
emotional vulnerability which first allowed the spirit attachment to take hold. Inner child healing and
treatment of subpersonalities is effective at this point. Any approach to ego strengthening and enhancement
of self image is important too. Even though an entity may have caused a condition or behaviour, and the
condition seems to be resolved after the release, there sometimes remains the impress of the habit, condition
or behaviour engraved in the psyche. This residue of behaviour is more easily treated through traditional
psychotherapy, once the attached discarnates no longer trouble the victim. There are often additional entities
discovered and released in subsequent sessions. There can be what you would call "a layering" of
attachments. Once the task of redeeming the self from the disturbance has been accomplished, it is important
to allow the individual to continue exploration of the realms of the self. The task is not only to help in the
integration and development of the healing into a stable platform from which to interact with the world, but
to also help the individual expand his or her sense of self once that stability is attained to include many types
of experiences on many different levels in order to develop, grow and expand.
Results can often be seen immediately. Many emotional problems and conflicts, some physical conditions
and mental irregularities are eased or eliminated through spirit releasement therapy. The experience is quite
profound for the person. It is a gentle, loving and truly spiritual way of working therapeutically.
Summary
Spirit Releasement Therapy is not based on any religion or religious belief system. The approach is clear,
rational, methodical and complete in working with the Body, Mind and Spirit in a respectful way.
It is true to say that modern psychotherapy often fails with people because it does not recognise the
existence of the soul. In not recognising the soul, you have no map or possibility of being shown a map,
which includes the entire nature of the individual's experience. The wholeness of being.
When helping a person through SRT, one almost has to forget the definitions of things and remain totally
present with the delivery of the symptoms. Working and helping the individual in arriving at the moment
these symptoms took root in their psyche and finding a resolution, a healing and way forward. Schools of
thought which state the patient is incapable of identifying the paths the journey should take, ridicule the
integrity of the patient: everyone knows what they need to become whole at a deep level, it is just that they
need guidance and support with a trained and professional facilitator to help them have the courage to engage
in and take the path to wholeness that is natural for them.
Only by staying with the symptoms and guiding the person on his or her own shamanic journey through the
psyche can I cross the boundaries of western psychology and traditional healing methods and bring them
together to assist the individual. Therefore, SRT cannot be considered a suggestive therapy.
The techniques were developed through experimental methods:
observation, trial and error, comparison and contrast with existing systems of exorcism and deliverance, and
synthesising many proven clinical modalities with a client-perceived, experienced and reported spiritual, non-
physical, internal dimension. The consistency of the descriptions given by clients in the altered state have
added to and verified the developing clinical framework of SRT. These results indicate the validity of the
hypothesis and the approach. All that matters is the process and the client defines the process.
In conclusion, there is no proof those entities, that is, the surviving consciousness of deceased human
beings, actually exist. However, because of the effect of SRT within the clinical framework of the spiritual
dimension, it can be implied that the spiritual dimension of reality exists and there are many types of
conscious beings existing (living) in that dimension.
