You want to start working with Earthbound Spirits from a place of understanding.

Earthbound Spirits are people that haven’t crossed over into the light for various reasons.

Because they aren’t in “the light,” they are not always acting out of alignment with their highest good. They can project fear or other lower vibrational emotions onto a space.

Some people call them Ghosts.

The space normally feels cooler when they’re present because they’re drawing from the energy in the space to manifest.

Technically, Earthbound Spirits are “low vibrational entities,” but this can be changed. Their state is often temporary.

Why Earthbound Spirits Are Often Considered Spooky

Earthbound Spirits stay on earth for a reason. These are the spirit energies that often have unfinished business.

They may be sad, scared, upset, fearful or carrying around other heavy emotions (which is why Earthbounds usually are described as ‘heavy’ feeling). They may have guilt or be anxious.

When you sense an Earthbound Spirit, you will likely first pick up on these negative emotions. Most people sense Spirit first, before any other communication takes place.

Now imagine you’re in a world where you can no longer communicate with those you love and you don’t have immediate access to your Angels/Loved Ones?

You may feel afraid or frustrated.

When an Earthbound Spirit encounters someone who can sense them, they will often throw all their energy at them in an effort to get through.

They may project their energy onto you so you can pick them.

But this does not mean their fear needs to become your fear - or their anger, anxiety, sadness must also be yours.

This energy transference is usually how Earthbound Spirits give off the impression they’re malicious when they aren’t.

How you can help an Earthbound Spirit

When an Earthbound Spirit or ghost makes themselves known to you - it’s for a reason, usually they want help.

First, take a moment to inhale and exhale. Tune into your own energy. Then tune into the energy around you.

You want to ask the Spirit if they have a message for you or anything they want to share - notice what you pick up with your intuitive senses.

Sometimes Earthbound Spirits just want to share their story with someone and that’s it.

After that, you may ask them if they want to cross into the Light.

How to cross a Spirit into the Light:

Visualize a channel of Divine Light coming into the space.

Imagine it forming an oval shape in front of you in your mind’s eye. Imagine their loved ones coming forward into the light.

Ask the Spirit to step into this light while telepathically letting them know all their suffering will end once they do.

Watch in your mind’s eye as they move towards the Light and become one with it.

Inhale and exhale.

You’re done.

After that, you may want to call in Angels or Spirit Guides to help seal the space in love and light.

Remember, Earthbound Spirits were human once and deserve to be treated with the respect you’d want to receive. A little bit of empathy for their state can go a long way with helping them shift from the low energy place their into a new place filled with unconditional love.
