Walk-In Spirits and Psychic Awareness
“All of us here on Earth are from someplace else, and we are all multidimensional beings. We are here to do something to help humanity. It doesn’t matter whether you were born into a body or walked into a body.” – Yvonne Perry
Walk-In spirits are when a spirit takes over a body it did not originally inhabit, either temporarily or permanently. It is when a soul leaves the body to make room for another. It is not noticeable physically; instead, it speaks to a spiritual or energetic experience. It may also increase an individual’s psychic awareness.
Walk-In Spirits
Walk-In spirits are a new age spiritual concept, but there is evidence that religions and cultures spoke of this. Also called a soul exchange, the energetic blueprint shifts, and consequently, drastic changes in life trajectory, personality traits, relationships, interests, and mannerisms may seem altered. It may seem as if a person is a “different person”, or “doesn’t seem like themself.” Many walk-ins claim to have increased psychic sensitivity and may take up work of a spiritual nature. Walk-ins may be starseeds on earth to complete a specific mission on earth.
It is not only in death that spirits may enter. More than one spirit can enter the body. A soul may walk in while a body is asleep, unconscious, drugged, under anesthesia, in emotional distress or having a near-death experience. A spiritually evolved soul may walk into adult bodies bringing inter-dimensional awareness to that person.
Types of Walk-In Spirits
- Pre-Birth
- A walk -In spirit may change places to prepare a body in its early stages of development. When it is time, the original soul returns to the body. There is nothing noticeable to the individual or family as it is before the birth process.
- Birth
- A walk-in spirit may exchange places at birth when a soul decides it wants to return to the spirit and another soul decides to step in. This is not noticeable to the parents as it is in the earlier days and months of human life.
- Childhood
- A walk -In spirit may swap places with a soul in early childhood or adulthood. This could be for many reasons, including that there is an adjustment to a plan for that soul’s life. During these formative years, there may be little noticeable difference in the personality of the individual, only those attributed to growth and development. In some rare cases, this swap may be accompanied by certain abilities.
- Adulthood
- A walk – spirit may take the place of a soul, that is experiencing hardships and wants to leave and start again, finishing off the lifetime. There may be a personality change, a shift in lifestyle and interests that accompany this swap.
- Soul Braid
- Soul Braiding is a term used to describe when an evolved soul joins energies with a body inhabited by another Soul by becoming the dominant energy for the highest developmental good of both souls. As the energies intertwine, so too does their karma. It is a more complex process because the “walk-out” never entirely leaves the body. Some call this more of a spirit upgrade than a walk-in spirit.
- Wanderers
- While we are all souls wandering in the universe, a wanderer is a soul connected to another physical place, planet, realm, or dimension and has come to earth for a particular mission, after which they will return home. Typical symptoms of a wanderer are that they seem disassociated from human experience. There may not be a clear memory of what their mission is. Wanderers may appear on earth in more significant numbers at the verge of a massive shift or change. They are said to come to prepare humanity for a change in consciousness.
Walk-In Spirits and Possession
Walk-in spirits are not a form of possession defined as a hostile entity taking over a body. Possession is where the body is taken over by force or against a person’s will. Conversely, walk-in spirits only enter according to a soul contract or agreement. It may not be remembered and happens only on the astral or in the dream space. One may look at individuals that seem to “sell their soul” for fame, power or money as a type of agreement with energy or an entity.
Reasons for a Walk-In Exchange
There are many reasons why a soul may agree to have a walk-in taking over a lifetime. Some possible reasons are;
- Having a contract to live and experience life only to a certain point.
- Life challenges may cause a soul to step out and exchange experiences and have the walk-in finish the lifetime.
- To come in temporarily and help solve a challenging situation or a need to fulfill a purpose.
Signs You are Having a Walk-in Experience
- You suddenly feel completely transformed inexplicably. For example, you may tend to appear depressed and then suddenly have a complete change in your demeanour.
- You have a Near Death Experience (NDE) or severe illness that you miraculously recover from
- You suddenly change your career path, relationships or beliefs.
- You show a sudden interest in spirituality and psychic awareness and appear to have sudden abilities appear.
- Talent appears out of nowhere, such as knowing how to play the piano, paint, speak a language, or some other skill you never previously learned.
- Feeling alienated from friends and family, as if they are strangers to you.
- Loss of memory, a state of disassociation, unaccounted time.
- Allergies and other physical symptoms appear with no logical explanation.
Famous Walk-Ins
There are personal stories of walk-in spirits, and numerous books written on the subject. A classic reference is author Ruth Montgomery’s published book entitled Strangers Among Us (1979) and her follow-up Threshold to Tomorrow, recounting famous walk-in stories. According to Montgomery, Gandhi, Abraham Lincoln, Benjamin Franklin, Emanuel Swedenborg, Christopher Columbus, Moses, and Quetzalcoatl were all walk-ins. She went so far as to claim that Thomas Jefferson has hosted walk-in spirits who wrote the Declaration of Independence.
A Psychic Perspective
When exploring concepts of reality and spiritual ideas like walk-ins, it is easy to get lost in the details of a story. We may lose sight of the fundamental reason why we are searching as souls and seeking to be special or different. It may be that what we seek is attention, to be noticed, or a sense of mission or purpose, knowing that our life has meaning and that we are connected to something that transcends our mundane daily lives. Perhaps this quest is not unique, encoded in our soul’s nature, where we are all capable of healing and moving into higher states of consciousness.
As with any information, it is always best to connect with your higher self or source, turning the gaze inwards and find your own answers. Some ways this is made possible are with meditation and the use of psychic tools. As you increase your awareness through consistent practice, you may become better equipped to use your discernment to find what rings as truth.
