Chronic anger, extreme and constant frustration, depression, specific pain, and a sense of emotional heaviness are signs of a spiritual intrusion. When personal power is lost, energy that is not associated with the person’s/animal’s highest good called an intrusion, may be present. Intrusions are caused by negative thought forms. Most people are unaware of the difference between feeling an emotion and sending it. With help of spirit guides, the shamanic practitioner can extract the intrusion and move it to a neutral place, enabling the person to heal. After an extraction, clients generally feel lighter, with a heightened sense of well-being, more physical energy and confidence, as well as a joyful demeanor.
