Someone asked last week if it was possible to have a spontaneous depossession. Yes, it is.

Although the physical body may look like a solid mass, we are actually a rather spacious collection of rapidly moving particles. Under the right circumstances, a disembodied spirit such as a ghost can merge with the body or energy field of a living human. This is known as having an entity or an attachment.

Although possession is a natural phenomenon, it is neither optimal or desired. Souls that choose to remain in the Middle World after their death continue to feel the pain, trauma and suffering of their lifetime. The human host can experience varying amounts of dis-ease, including physical, mental, and emotional discomfort.

People with a suffering being in their body or energy field often visit a shamanic healer for compassionate depossession, a gentle technique that helps the suffering being release the pain of their lifetime, open their heart, and cross to the light.

It is also possible to have a spontaneous depossession under the right circumstances.

This sometimes happens in dreamtime when our energy is more open and our guard is down. The divine compassionate ones may visit and lovingly lift the suffering being out of our body and escort them to the light. Years ago when I first began my shamanic studies, this happened to me. I woke up early one morning in the midst of a dream where I was in a salt bath and two of my teachers were helping me release a suffering being. It was very real – I felt the energy unraveling from my body and being gently pulled out. When I came fully awake my energy felt much different than before, and I realized it wasn’t just a dream – I really had experienced a compassionate depossession.

What initially draws a suffering being to their host is resonance. Just like humans, they want to hang out with someone they vibe with. Through doing our personal healing work, our vibration changes. If we’re no longer an energetic match, they may choose to leave on their own and find a more compatible host.

Sometimes the suffering being may be energetically connected to multiple people. For instance, an ancestor who hasn’t crossed to the light may have cords to several family members. They might make the rounds and visit each family member before moving on to the next host. Until they have crossed to the light, they are still a suffering being – just with someone else instead of us. It’s likely that eventually they will circle back around.

In compassionate depossession, banishment and force are never used. The angels raise the vibration of the suffering being, and the helping spirits assist them in letting go of the pain and suffering that held them here in the Middle World. Light shines into their heart, and they remember their divine nature. As their vibration begins to rise, they willingly lift out of the host. It is an honor to witness and be present at their crossing.

This work is real, and it matters.
