One of the questions I am regularly asked is: “What is actually around us?”

There is a great deal of confusion surrounding spirits, attachments and what exists around us in our everyday lives. Some people become frightened and start believing that every unusual feeling or experience must mean there is something bad around them.

That simply isn’t the case.

In our normal lives here on the Earth plane, I believe there are good and bad spirits around us all the time. But that doesn’t mean we are suddenly going to have a problem with them.

We simply need to understand what is around us and be practical about it.

Not Every Spiritual Experience Is a Problem

Over the last couple of weeks alone, I have spoken to many people who were confused or frightened by what they were experiencing.

Some genuinely needed my help, and in a few cases I believed there were spirit attachments that needed to be removed.

Others didn’t need that kind of help at all.

They simply needed somebody to explain what they might be experiencing and reassure them that they didn’t necessarily have a problem.

Understanding is incredibly important with these situations because fear can very quickly take over when we don’t understand something.

Not Every Spirit Is Good

One of the biggest mistakes I see, particularly among people exploring mediumship or spirituality, is the belief that everything they sense must automatically be good.

It isn’t.

There are millions of souls who have left this Earth plane, and I believe some haven’t yet moved on to the next world.

Just as we have free will while we are alive, we continue to have free will in spirit. That means there can be good souls, troubled souls and some who are simply not very nice.

But that doesn’t mean you should be frightened of living your everyday life.

For most people going about their normal lives, these spirits aren’t going to cause them any problems.

Problems Can Arise When You Deliberately Open Yourself Up

Where I believe people need to be more careful is when they deliberately try to open themselves up to the spirit world without understanding what they are doing.

For example, somebody might visit a haunted house and deliberately open themselves up to see what they can sense.

Others might use a Ouija board.

Some people attend open spiritual circles without understanding the importance of protection or knowing who is running the circle.

If you deliberately open yourself to whatever happens to be around you, you cannot simply assume that everything that responds will have good intentions.

That’s why understanding and proper development are so important.

Mediums Need to Understand Both Sides of the Spirit World

I have met mediums and spiritualists who don’t want anything whatsoever to do with negative or evil spirits.

I completely understand why.

But simply refusing to believe in something doesn’t necessarily mean it cannot affect you.

If you are deliberately trying to communicate with the spirit world, you need to understand that not everything you sense should automatically be trusted.

Often, what you’re sensing may simply be a loved one who has drawn close to you.

But I also believe negative spirits can sometimes present themselves as something friendly or reassuring in order to get closer.

This is why discernment is so important in mediumship.

Can Spirits Attach Themselves to People?

I believe that spirit attachments can happen, although they are nowhere near as common as some people on social media would have you believe.

I deal with these situations regularly because other mediums sometimes send people to me when they don’t want to become involved themselves.

In some cases, an attachment can leave somebody feeling extremely confused and unlike themselves.

But it is also very important not to assume that every mental, emotional or physical difficulty is caused by a spirit. There can be many non-spiritual explanations for what somebody is experiencing, and appropriate medical or professional help should never be ignored.

The important thing is to look at the situation calmly rather than immediately jumping to the most frightening explanation.

Sometimes Understanding Is All That’s Needed

A large part of the work I do isn’t actually removing spirits.

Sometimes it is simply helping somebody understand what they are experiencing.

Recently, I have spoken to several people who believed they might have been cursed. They hadn’t necessarily experienced anything spiritual, but somebody had planted the idea of a curse in their mind.

Then something went wrong in their life.

Perhaps their car broke down, something happened at work or they experienced a run of bad luck.

Suddenly they began wondering:

“Is this because I’ve been cursed?”

Once that fear begins, every ordinary difficulty can become evidence that something terrible is happening.

Sometimes, simply understanding this can bring an enormous sense of relief.

Don’t Be Frightened – Be Informed

The message I want people to understand is that you don’t need to spend your everyday life frightened of the spirit world.

Most people will go through their lives without ever experiencing a serious problem with a spirit.

Your loved ones can be around you. You may occasionally sense something you cannot explain. Sensitive people may experience more than others.

That doesn’t automatically mean there is anything wrong.

At the same time, if you deliberately choose to explore mediumship or spirit communication, do it responsibly. Don’t assume everything you encounter must be loving simply because it comes from the spirit world.

Understanding is far more helpful than fear.

If You’re Worried About Something You’re Experiencing

If you’re experiencing something you don’t understand, believe you may have a spirit around you or simply want some reassurance about what you’re sensing, you’re welcome to contact me.

The best way is by email at bluebeard1963@gmail.com.

Tell me as much as you can about what has been happening. If necessary, we can then have a conversation and I will do whatever I can to help.

Sometimes there may be something that needs dealing with.

But very often, all somebody really needs is a better understanding of what they’re experiencing.

And once the fear is replaced with understanding, the situation can feel very different
