One of the most profound aspects of spirit release therapy is its ability to elevate collective consciousness. Also known as depossession, this specialized therapeutic approach has been refined through decades of clinical practice to address earthbound spirits—souls that, for various reasons, remain tethered to the material realm instead of transitioning into the light. Beyond the physical world, these lost souls or ghosts—trapped in confusion and unable to move forward—generate dense, chaotic energy. This energy doesn't just affect individuals; it permeates entire communities, creating unseen disturbances that ripple through the collective, influencing thoughts, emotions, behaviors, environments, and overall well-being.
Renowned psychologist, parapsychologist, and exorcist Wanda Pratnicka has over 45 years of experience in the field, helping tens of thousands of individuals worldwide who have suffered from emotional and mental disturbances caused by ghostly attachments. In her book Possessed by Ghosts, she explores the broader collective impact of this phenomenon, writing:
"It is most often the case that the person who becomes possessed is not aware of their condition. By helping them, we are, in fact, helping ourselves—because we no longer have to listen to arguments on the other side of the wall, or our neighborhood becomes more peaceful. In extreme cases, we can prevent suicides, rapes, or even crimes. It is, therefore, not just an individual, personal matter but one that most often affects us all."
Pratnicka’s insights highlight that spirit attachment is not solely a private affliction but a widespread issue that can influence entire communities, underscoring the importance of addressing these unseen disturbances for collective well-being. Wherever these souls remain bound, their unresolved pain echoes as emotional turmoil, conflict, and a lingering, intangible sorrow—a shadow that quietly ripples through the collective human experience.
✨Hauntings Born from Collective Tragedy
Sometimes, when a collective tragedy occurs and multiple spirits remain earthbound, the location becomes known as “haunted.” In such places, the dead are unable to rest, and their unresolved energy continues to influence and interact with the living world. Often, we instinctively shy away from such locations, sensing the heaviness and inexplicable phenomena that saturate their spaces—an unspoken reminder of our interconnectedness with realms beyond our own. Here in Western Australia, there are several places marked by tragic histories—sites of abuse and death—where restless souls remain in pain, continuing to haunt the living.
In these places, paranormal activity is often reported by multiple, unrelated individuals—each experience echoing the next, lending quiet credibility to the unseen. And yet, despite this shared witnessing, the phenomenon remains largely unspoken. As a society, we often remain in the dark—unaware or perhaps unwilling to acknowledge that some souls may still linger among us. Yet, there are times when a trained professional can help guide these spirits into the light. In doing so, we don’t just bring peace to the departed—we raise the vibration of the living. Releasing what remains unresolved not only heals individual souls, but also restores energetic balance and uplifts the collective consciousness of us all.
✨The Disruptive Influence of Personal Hauntings
Beyond haunted locations born from restless souls who remained after a collective tragedy, individual entities can subtly or dramatically disrupt the energetic balance of a home, workplace, or even an entire community. This disruption may appear as personal hauntings, persistent disturbances, or spikes in paranormal activity—often with no clear explanation, yet deeply felt by those who inhabit the space.
The restless spirit may amplify negative emotions in the living—fear, anger, grief, and despair—casting an invisible weight over those who share their space. In some cases, these spirits can even attach to individuals, subtly influencing their thoughts, emotions, and physical well-being. Many who unknowingly come into contact with such disincarnate energies report:
Sudden and unexplained anxiety, depression, or mood swings
Chronic fatigue, disturbed sleep, or recurring nightmares
Heightened conflict in relationships and emotional volatility
Sudden emergence of addictive behaviours
Hearing internal voices or feeling personalities that don’t feel like their own
Unexplained physical symptoms with no medical diagnosis
These disturbances often ripple far beyond the individual—disrupting relationships, families, communities, and even contributing to collective emotional and energetic disharmony. The impact is real, though often unseen, and it calls for awareness, compassion, and healing at all levels.
✨The Power of Transition: Restoring Harmony to the Living and the Departed
Guiding earthbound spirits home—helping them recognize their situation and transition into the light of the spirit world—is a profound act of healing that extends far beyond the individual. It is akin to clearing a fog from a landscape, revealing clarity, warmth, and a renewed sense of openness. As these souls are gently and lovingly guided forward on their path, a shift in the surrounding energy occurs, lifting the heavy vibrations they once generated. With each successful transition, communities become lighter, more harmonious, and aligned with higher frequencies of coherence. Individuals living in once-disturbed spaces often report:
✨ A renewed sense of inner peace, harmony, and lightness
✨ Increased energy, creativity, and mental clarity
✨ Greater emotional balance and more harmonious relationships
✨ Enhanced physical and psychological health and wellbeing
✨ A deeper sense of motivation and connection to life purpose and personal direction
As the unseen energies of the past are released, the entire energetic field of a person or place is liberated, creating space for expansion, renewal, and growth. This therapeutic process holds the power to not only restore individual and collective harmony but also to heal the land itself—bringing resolution to places marked by past trauma.
✨Healing the Divide Between the Living and the Departed
Beyond restoring energetic balance, this work has the power to reshape humanity’s relationship with spirituality and death. The transition of lost souls softens the collective fear of the unknown, dismantling outdated and damaging stigmas surrounding the afterlife. It invites us to embrace a more open dialogue about the spirit world and the deep interconnectedness between all realms of existence.
Thus, assisting these souls is not merely an act of compassion for the departed—it is an act of healing for the living. It fosters clarity, harmony, and a higher state of consciousness for all. The veil between worlds becomes thinner, not as a source of fear, but as a reminder that we are never truly separate.
✨The Sacred Interweaving of Souls and the Collective Evolution
This practice is not just spiritual—it is a vital component of the unseen ecosystem that connects all of existence. Just as the natural world thrives in interdependence, so too do the realms of the living and the departed. By guiding earthbound spirits toward the light, we elevate the frequency of both worlds—because when one heals, all are uplifted. Every act of compassion, every moment of guidance, and every soul returned home resonates through the great tapestry of existence, weaving strands of peace, harmony, and higher consciousness. The evolution of one is the evolution of all. In this sacred calling, we are reminded that healing is not an isolated journey, but a shared unfolding—an intricate relationship between dimensions that calls upon us to be active participants in the restoration and elevation of the world, soul by soul.
