Soul rescue is the process of releasing an attached spirit and helping it to move to the spirit realms This is done in a compassionate and non-confrontational way. It is not like orthodox exorcism, which attempts to banish the attached spirit by force.
Upon death some spirits remain earthbound and can attach to places or persons. This is called spirit attachment. Reasons for this include a traumatic death, concern over some unfinished business or anxiety for a loved one on Earth. More often than not earthbound spirits are simply trying to get our attention and mean no harm. By attachment I mean they like to hang out with someone in particular, so they go wherever that person they are attached to, so by moving house for example the attached spirit may well follow. The spirit often feels an affinity with someone as perhaps they feel they are like someone they knew or have something in common with.

She was harmless enough and used to just wander around picking up items and looking at them, she was very fond of looking at my jewelry and would rummage amongst it. I did eventually persuade her to go over to the light and two of her friends came to meet her from the spirit realms. It wasn't just me who was aware of her but other family members heard her. She was a lovely old lady and because she had passed suddenly, she simply was not aware she had passed.

The source of the attachment can also be due to negative energies from a place. This can be if someone occupied a home where they were always arguing, this creates a tangible energy albeit a negative one. The remedy here is to cleanse the home by smudging
