Debbie from Boise, ID, asked:
Hi Julie,
Since my husband passed two years ago, I’ve been communicating with him using a 3-way lamp. He uses different numbers of flashes for yes and no, which has been incredibly comforting.
Recently, I had an unsettling experience with what felt like a negative spirit. It held me down so I couldn’t move until I demanded it leave my home and never return. It left immediately.
I’m concerned that this spirit might have come through the lamp, like a portal. Is my husband somehow connected to this? I don’t have anyone else to discuss this with, and I’ve never experienced anything like it before.
Thank you for any insight you can provide.
Debbie
Hi Debbie,
I’m deeply sorry for your husband’s passing and I’m delighted you’ve found a way to stay connected with his spirit.
Regarding the experience with what you perceived as a “negative” spirit, it’s important to understand that your body likely went into what’s called the Fight, Flight, or Freeze response. This is a natural, involuntary reaction to perceived threats, driven by our body’s hard-wired response to fear.
When we encounter something unfamiliar, whether it’s a rational or irrational fear, our bodies can respond by:
- Fighting to eliminate the threat,
- Fleeing to escape the danger,
- Or freezing, which makes us immobile.
I believe the freeze response is what you experienced.
Since all spirits are pure love, there’s no such thing as an “evil” or “negative” spirit. What you felt was likely a new, unfamiliar energy frequency that triggered your parasympathetic nervous system to go into this protective mode. By commanding the perceived spirit to leave, you regained a sense of control, allowing your body to relax.
As for your husband’s involvement, I believe he was indeed part of this experience. He might have been presenting a higher vibration to you, one that will allow you to communicate with him more easily, even without the lamp. When your body sensed this unfamiliar vibration, it reacted by entering the fight, flight, or freeze mode.
You can learn to raise your vibration and communicate more easily with any spirit, including your husband’s, by taking one of my classes.
I hope my explanation informs and comforts you.
