NEED HELP! Black Shadow (evil spirit) that isn't going away no matter what I do.

[Mertez]

EDIT: You guys might be right, except I'm not afraid of it. When sleeping, I can feel it nearby hovering around, and if I don't look at it, I'm comfortable with it. But when I open my eyes, it just floats there staring at me lol. Another thing is that these shadow beings are very common to see with people who get sleep paralysis...Does everyone manifest negative energy as a hooded/hatted black being? Why do they never speak verbally? I find that a little hard to believe. But nevertheless, I have noticed that when you focus on positive feelings (around the heart chakra), it leaves me alone for a short period. But it's worth experimenting with if it is actually negative psychic energy...Maybe I can turn it into positive light and then absorb it!


Hey everyone,

I've always spotted shadow entities every now and then when trying to astral project. Only recently (past 2-3 weeks) has one (or possibly more) really started to linger around me. I didn't invite it in. I've tried everything to get rid of it (hung 2 crosses in my room, smudging with sage, praying everyday. It doesn't seem to want to leave. In fact, it seems to be mocking me.) And now every time I get vibes for astral projection, I can't move out of my body. Once, I opened my eyes to look around, and I saw a black thing hovering over me. I asked "What do you want?" I was unafraid of it, but it mimicked what I'd sound like if I were to yell. It took the shape of a hooded being with it's hand stretched toward me, and shreiked with a guttural noise. It flew into me, and I felt very hallow and cold. This made me pull out of my sleep paralysis, and for a few seconds, while sitting on my bed, I couldn't move, and I felt completely void of any feeling. But then I returned to a normal-ish feeling.

Before, these things were never that big of a deal, except every time I reach the end of a dream (even happy dreams), they keep ending in a negative and sometimes tragic way. In one dream, I was being followed by a very annoying schoolmate of mine. He wouldn't leave me alone, and
something made me so angry and made me want to kill him (this isn't like me at all). I eventually did, but a few moments later, in the dream, something approached me said "What did you do that for? He didn't do anything to hurt you. But it doesn't matter, you didn't actually get rid of him haha"

These bad dreams make me want to wake up, and as soon as this happens I can see faint black static in front of me. I've had two dreams so far this week (that toward the end) I could hear a woman say "There is a very evil spirit here"... Thanks! I already knew that. How the heck do I get rid of it? I recognize the voice (I've heard it many times during meditation), and I'm pretty sure she's my spirit guide.

Recently I hung up a cross in my doorway, and for a couple days, I didn't have any bad dreams. But this morning, I was having a very nice and light dream, and everyones hair suddenly turned black. And in the dream, someone was flipping a coin. The coin flew into the air and it took the shape of an upside-down cross. This made me want to wake up, and as soon as I did, I saw black wisp floating at the end of my bed, and my vision was a little distorted for a few seconds (saw black static).

I'm still trying to be respectful toward it, because I don't want to tinkle it off. But it's getting hard to keep doing this, because it's not being respectful toward me. I've tried to remember to pray in Jesus' name whenever it is nearby and imagine a white light. It's like this spirit is blocking my ability to remember to do this...I'm trying to focus on God, and it's like this spirit is trying to block me. How do I get rid of it?

These black shadows are part of yourself. There may be some part of yourself you need to accept and work through. Just accept the shadows going into you and send them love.

[personalreality]

From personal experience, I truly agree with Pauli here. 

I really think that in nearly all cases, these kinds of entities are manifestations of personal psychological issues that everyone has.  Or they could be remnants of emotional energy that are attached to a person (usually theirs, but could belong to someone else).

see a shaman or look into shamanic techniques for "healing the shadow (self)" or soul retrieval.

Visualize a powerful white light emitting from yourself and surrounding you completely... me, and many other people have found this will force away negative entities in the astral... nothing can harm you regardless.... if this doesn't send it away then it's merely a part of you, a fear of some sort more than likely.

[Xanth]

Yuppers!  Fears... they're a nasty thing.  They can and WILL manifest in your non-physical experiences as just about anything.
What you experience is a metaphor for a fear(s) you have.

The easiest way to beat a fear?  Courage.
Face it head on. 

[CFTraveler]

Another thing you can do (to prove this to yourself) is to go towards the figure.  You will find yourself out and bouncing around- this is because you reintegrated with it.  However, you need to conquer the fear to do this, and prepare to be disoriented for a while after doing it.
The more fear you have the more you objectify your fear, and meeting it head on is one way to reintegrate the self aspects you are pushing away.

It's not an evil spirit. Turn the figure into a sexy human form and have fun!

Did an edit on my old post.

Try showing it love

Mine don't show as black figures.  They used to show up as scary little beings (not anymore though), and I have asked them questions and received some interesting answers
