Dealing with entities of the lower astral plane? These are a type of being that moves through denser spiritual layers and can interact with people through unresolved emotions, energetic weakness, and psychic openings as well as find thriving energies connected with fear. The latch on your energy and take away the positives... but don't worry, you too can step above these entities.
Keep this clear from the beginning: lower astral plane entities and beings influence people by feeding on low-frequency energy. This can show up as exhaustion, mood changes, disturbed sleep, spiritual heaviness, or dreams that feel strange and invasive. If this is true, you are not alone, and you can always find people to support and surround you, as I shared in the prior article about the Three of Cups.
If you want to understand the lower astral plane itself, check this article about beings of lower dimensions. By the end, you will know the main types of lower astral entities and beings, how lower astral entity attachment happens, and what you can do to stay strong.
What Makes an Entity Lower Astral?
You can have a simple approach here: Lower astral entities are low-vibrational beings sustained by dense negative energy rather than by the light of Source. This is what separates them from spirit guides, ancestors who have crossed properly, angelic beings, higher spiritual helpers, and other beings of light. Their nature is not defined only by where they are found but also by what they feed on and how they do it, what they carry, and how they affect the energy around them.
Some are earthbound spirits, souls that did not fully transition because of trauma, confusion, grief, addiction, or attachment to the physical world, sometimes choosing to live in grief and hatred. Others are astral parasites, beings that were never really interested in your growth but in the energy they can siphon from you. I normally call these "astral leeches." There are also darker beings that have moved away from higher alignment (or never went into it) and now exist through domination, fear, distortion, or control.
I know this can sound heavy, but do not give your power away to the topic; remember, you can be above them easily. These beings, in a way, have hierarchies, similar to how positive beings do. But keep in mind that their common pattern is mainly one: they look for resonance, obeying the Principle of Vibration and Mentalism; despair, hatred, fear, addiction, shame, and obsessive thinking become food sources, among other negative emotions and thoughts.
When you heal, raise your frequency, and strengthen your boundaries, "they" lose access. That is very important to remember because it's key. In a way, if your frequency is too high, they simply will not see you. So make sure to keep on reading now to learn more!
The Main Types of Lower Astral Entities
First, let's go with a quick table as an easy reference for you to check on the main type of lower astral entities and how to deal with them.
| Entity | What is going on | How to deal with it | Ruling |
| Earthbound Spirits | Souls that did not fully move on, many times because of trauma, confusion, grief, or attachment to a place or person. | Approach with compassion, but do not let them stay attached to your energy. Clear the space, pray, call light, and help them move on if you know how, or work with a practitioner. | Not always evil, but still draining if they stay connected to your field. |
| Shadow Beings | Dense lower astral presences that feed from fear, sadness, anger, lust, or heavy emotional states. | Do not feed them with fear or curiosity. Stay neutral, protect your energy, raise your vibration, and cleanse yourself and your space. | Take them seriously, but do not give them your power. |
| Astral Parasites | Energy-feeding beings that attach where there is weakness, obsession, addiction, despair, or emotional leakage. | Clean your aura, stop feeding the pattern, work on the emotional wound, and strengthen your energetic boundaries daily. | They lose access when there is no food for them. |
| Dark Force Entities | More harmful lower astral beings that work through fear, control, hopelessness, and disempowerment. | Do not negotiate with them. Use strong spiritual protection, prayer, firm boundaries, and get support from a qualified practitioner if the energy feels persistent. | This is where you act firmly, calmly, and with proper spiritual backup. |
| Thought Forms | Energetic forms created by repeated fear, hatred, obsession, trauma, or heavy collective energy. | Stop feeding the thought pattern, clear the space, cleanse your mind, and replace the repeated fear with grounded spiritual discipline. | What is fed grows, so stop feeding what is harming you. |
Now, keep on reading to know in more detail each of these entities and why they come.
1. Earthbound Spirits
Earthbound spirits are usually the most common beings of the lower astral plane, the ones you usually encounter. These are souls that did not fully transition after death, sometimes because they were confused, afraid, attached to a person, attached to a place, or still holding trauma from the moment of passing. Many are not evil or have ill intentions. They are lost, heavy, stuck, or unaware of how to move toward the light, and they act desperate sometimes. You can send light to these beings with positive emotions.
They can attach to living people, homes, hospitals, cemeteries, places of suffering, or old family lines where grief has not been released. Even when innocent, their presence can still drain your energy because they are not meant to be sustained by your field. This is one reason why home clearings are so important, and if you feel the energy off at home, I can help you cleanse it; just book a session below.
You will tell the difference right away from the session. If I find any of these, or any other type of entity of the Lower Astral Plane, I will detect them and work on surrounding them with white light so they can find peace in a higher plane of existence.
2. Shadow Beings
Shadow beings are usually darker, denser presences that feed from heaviness. People often experience them as black shapes or odd inky human forms, figures in peripheral vision. They could oppress you during sleep, but don't confuse this with sleep paralysis, as it has other causes that are in your mind.
They are often connected with fear, hatred, lust, deceit, and depression. Some shadow beings may be spirits who died in traumatic states and carried that darkness with them. Others feel more like formed presences that have lived a long time in lower frequencies.
Their lower astral entity influence is normally felt as sudden fear, spiritual pressure, nightmares, or the feeling that a room has become heavy without a clear physical reason.
3. Energy Vampires and Astral Parasites
This is not about mythical vampires. Energy vampires or astral parasites leech emotional and psychic energy from living people or other beings. They are drawn to fear and anger like the others. These lower astral plane negative entities may provoke emotional reactions to keep feeding.
You may notice that after certain dreams, arguments, sexual disturbances during sleep, or draining encounters, you feel empty or not quite yourself. This does not mean every bad day is an entity. It means your energy field is worth protecting and cleaning regularly. Furthermore, you can help yourself with treating sleep paralysis if this is your case.
4. Dark Force Entities
Demonic entities in the lower astral are the most intentionally harmful category, and I do not say this to scare you. I say it because some beings carry a destructive agenda. They are not necessarily human, and they operate through fear and control.
These beings may attempt to attach to a vulnerable person and slowly weaken the person’s light, confidence, will, or connection to Source. This is where a person may feel heavy spiritual oppression, intrusive darkness, or a sense that something is actively pushing them away from healing. This could require a banishing ritual, depending on the entity and situation. If you fear this situation, reach out and I will help you.
5. Thought Forms
Thought forms are not always independent beings. They can be energetic constructs created by repeated fear and hatred among others. Over time, a thought form can behave like an entity because it has been fed enough energy to become active in the field. These engrave in the unconscious mind and sometimes are the cornerstone of so-called "curses."
Keep this in mind: thought forms are a reminder that your thoughts matter, and the energy you repeatedly feed can take shape. This is why spiritual cleansing and mental discipline both matter. A little of coaching here can help you out through a Talk to Fer session.

How Lower Astral Entities Attach
Drop some of the creepy ideas about there, because they're not what you are thinking! Lower astral entities attach through energetic entry points created by vulnerability or weakened spiritual boundaries, especially connected with negativity. They do not normally attach to a person who is grounded, clear, and strong in their field unless there is some opening or resonance they can use.
Common energetic entry points include unhealed trauma, grief, desperation, addiction, excessive alcohol or substance use, distorted sexual energy, obsession, fear, spiritual exploration without protection, and long periods of emotional collapse. Trauma and entity attachment are closely connected because trauma can create fragmentation, weakness, or unconscious openings in the energy field.
Excessive alcohol and drugs can also weaken the aura. Spiritually speaking, they can create gaps in the protective shield and make perception unstable. Some hallucinations or disturbing energetic experiences may be psychological, medical, spiritual, or a mixture, so discernment matters. Do not jump to conclusions, but do not ignore repeated patterns either, you can always work on this taking one step at a time.
Signs You May Be Dealing with Lower Astral-Entity Influence
Entity attachment signs are repeated energetic, emotional, physical, or spiritual disturbances that do not feel like your normal state and do not resolve through ordinary grounding alone. I am sharing some signs below:
- Nightmares, sleep paralysis, or disturbing dreams with shadow figures.
- Sudden mood drops, intrusive thoughts, or feeling “not myself lately.”
- Energetic fatigue, chronic burnout, or unexplained heaviness.
- Addictive patterns, compulsive behavior, or strong emotional urges.
- Feelings of unworthiness, fear, disconnection, or spiritual oppression.
- Headaches, dizziness, nausea, sudden aches, or difficulty focusing.
- Unprovoked anger, strong emotions, or psychic attack symptoms after contact with certain people or places.
- Sexual disturbances during sleep states or oppressive presences in the room.
Please be responsible here. These signs can have physical, emotional, psychological, environmental, or spiritual causes. I would never (nor would any good practitioner) jump to entity attachment as the first answer. Rule out medical and psychological causes, observe patterns, and then look at the spiritual layer with no rushing. Next is the list you have been waiting for, so keep on reading.
How to Protect Yourself from Lower Astral Entities
- Raise your vibrational frequency. Spiritual protection and lower astral work begin with your daily frequency. Joy, gratitude, honesty, self-love, clean living, and emotional responsibility make your field harder to access. If you want to raise your vibration and protect entities from feeding on your energy, start with the small daily choices that bring you back to yourself.
- Heal unresolved trauma. Lower entities look for broken doors. Trauma, grief, shame, and old fear can become those doors if they remain completely unattended. Healing, nervous system regulation, and soul retrieval help you reclaim lost pieces of yourself, and when you are more whole, you are naturally stronger.
- Cleanse your aura and space regularly. Aura protection matters, especially if you are sensitive or spiritually open. You can use prayer, white light visualization, selenite, smoke cleansing, sound, salt baths, or proper space clearing to remove heavy residue from your field and home. Do this calmly, not obsessively.
- Strengthen energetic boundaries. Do not engage with shadow presences out of curiosity. Fear and fascination both feed attention into the connection. Neutral awareness, prayer, firm boundaries, and refusing energetic dialogue are much stronger than panic.
- Cut unhealthy cords and influences. Cord-cutting entities' work can help when a person, place, spirit, or repeated emotional loop keeps pulling on your energy. A cord is not always “evil,” but if it drains you, distorts you, or keeps reopening the same wound, it needs clearing.
- Work with a qualified practitioner. Entity clearing may involve dark entities, earthbound spirits, astral implants, astral parasites, portals, thought forms, soul fragmentation, and chakra blockages. I can help you scan the auric field, work with your higher self and guides, and help clear what does not belong. If you are feeling the weight of entity influence, an energy clearing, a shamanic healing can help you reclaim your energetic wholeness.
