Spiritual intrusions are caused by negative thought forms, (such as anger, jealousy, envy, grief or other unresolved feelings) that we have taken into our bodies in response to hurt or a projection from someone else. An intrusion can also begin from chronic self-abuse and negative self-talk (a form of self-sorcery). The expression of being “stabbed in the back” is more than a simple metaphor. This can commonly happen in toxic environments that we have to regularly be around, e.g. a job, a family feud, an angry associate. In the Shamanic perspective, these are psychic darts and arrows that we encounter when negative thoughts and feelings are directed towards us. Intrusions are like being hit by a toxic energy pocket.

Some types of intrusions are caused from a physical injury that has left an imprint in our Luminous Energy Field, and some are past-life injuries that were severe enough to leave an imprint that has become activated in our current life. An intrusion can present as localized pain in the body: a phantom illness or location of pain that defies medical diagnosis, or even a part of the body that is repeatedly prone to injury.
