A common fascination among most of us concerns the subject of life after death. Increasingly, people want to know: "what happens to me after I die?" The spiritually aware answer is that human beings after they die move directly into the Light.

But do all souls move into the Light right after death? Many teachers and healers believe they do not. It is commonly thought that a spirit can stay bound to the earth plane for any number of reasons and can attach itself to unsuspecting humans.¹

Dr. William Baldwin in his book Spirit Releasement Therapy writes: "Following death by drug overdose, a newly deceased spirit maintains a strong appetite for the drug, and this hunger cannot be satisfied in the nonphysical realm. The being must experience the drug through the sensorium of a living person who uses the substance. This can only be accomplished through a parasitic attachment to the person. Many drug users are controlled by the attached spirit of a deceased drug addict."

Dr. Baldwin further states that drug dependence is not the only vehicle for psychic attachment: "Physical intrusions such as surgery or blood transfusion can lead to an entity attachment. In the case of an organ transplant the spirit of the organ donor can literally follow the transplanted organ into the new body. Physical trauma from auto collision, accidental falls, beatings or any blow to the head can render a person vulnerable to an intrusive spirit."

Dr. Baldwin continues: "spirit possession, or spirit attachment syndrome, as it is sometimes called, can affect anyone at any time. Some experts in this field suggest that more than 70% of the population are subject to "spirit invasion" by discarnate spirits at some time in their lives.

"Discarnate beings influence people by forming a physical or mental connection, then imposing detrimental physical and/or emotional conditions on them. The disembodied spirit--most often the surviving consciousness of deceased humans--attaches itself to the human auric field and merges with the subconscious mind, exerting influence on thought processes, emotions, behavior and the physical body.

• "Discarnate entities can produce mental or emotional disturbances and symptoms of any physical illness.
• "The emotional energy of an entity can intensify the expression of a specific emotion, often leading to overreactions to ordinary life situations.
• "The mental, emotional and physical influence of an attached entity can alter the original path of karmic options and opportunities. It can disrupt a planned life line by hastening death or prolonging life.
• An entity of the opposite gender can influence sexual preference and gender orientation, as well as the choice of marriage and sexual partners."

In short, spirit attachment can interfere with any aspect of the life of the unsuspecting host. Victims can accommodate unlimited numbers of entities and are probably quite unaware of these circumstances.

What can we do about it? A fascinating discovery continues in the tombs of ancient Egypt. As mummies are disentombed, they are found with surprising commonality; each one was prepared for the journey into the afterlife with an amulet to protect the body from being invaded by "bad spirits." The obvious question is: why not shield oneself from "spirit invasion" in this life?

The Wheel of Life amulet is a method for guarding against psychic attack. Not only does it shield the auric field against unwanted invasion from self-serving spirit beings, but it also assists spirit beings stuck to the earth plane by past circumstances to remember who they are and move freely toward the light. Additionally, the gold Wheel of Life clears your energy field of entities which may already have attached themselves and caused chaos in your life.
