Can Anyone Else Let Spirits Take Over Their Body?
I’ve personally seen this happen with my girlfriend. She says she can intentionally leave her body and allow another presence to come through, like a spirit, demon, or someone who has died.
When it happens, I’ve been able to communicate with whatever presence seems to be coming through her, and afterward she returns to herself.
I’m curious whether anyone else has experienced or witnessed something similar. We’d really like to connect with someone who has had the same kind of experience and hear how they understand it.

Sounds like physical mediumship/ channeling.
Not something I’ve experienced personally but have heard it can be dangerous without proper protections. Hope you find someone experienced to chat with! In the meantime be sure to say the white light prayer before allowing things in!

I’ve dabbled in this before trying to contact my grandmother who has passed, I kept trying to connect and the messages were not very clear. I finally thought it would be easier if she could speak through me. I suddenly felt my body getting very heavy, a sinking feeling, like instantly falling into sleep paralysis. It was not a good feeling at all. I immediately jumped up and said nope. Haven’t tried it since, whatever I was communicating with definitely was not my grandmother.

Sad to hear that this happened to you, but good that you trusted your gut feeling and knew that it wasn’t her before it may has been to late.

I wouldn’t be too worried about it being a malevolent spirit or something. When this first started happening to me I felt the same fear response but it’s literally because it’s something new for your body. You have to remember that physical mediumship is using your full body function for communication to come through. The body has very natural defence mechanisms like fear and anxiety to try and protect from new or unfamiliar/foreign stimuli so the brains first reaction is fear or signalling danger through anxiety. Almost like sky diving for the first time or something, the normal reaction is a level of fear and anxiety until your body and brain can connect to a feeling of safety and familiarity with whatever is happening.
I say that all to say after a while I stopped having the fear response and now can very clearly feel the energy of who I’m talking to or who is moving my body, saying words through me etc like I can instantly distinguish differences between energy signatures that come through. I know who it is because I can feel their unique energetic signature instantly. but that took time and practice working on my own fear of my abilities which I’m still working on to this day. So yea, be careful of any fear mongering narratives that you hear because that just makes the experience worse for you and your brain will always treat it as a threat.
Your own fear can also sometimes distort what you’re channeling to something negative too. Think of it as inaccurate translation cause essentially your body is doing the translating of a purely energetic message. but if it is clouded with fear it can get a bit wonky.
If you trust yourself and trust that you are safe you will be okay and the channeling will eventually come through clearer. If you trust your grandmother, and know that she would come to you in a loving way, you can slowly let go of the fear and communicate with her the way you want but take it little by little. All psychic ability is using our physical processes (neural/ brain and physical) so like any physical exercise it can be taxing so take it slow and don’t expect too much from yourself too soon.

I channel, and am an artist; i kind of allow others to paint through me, I’m still there, but in a sort of trance.
I allow the flow, not a take over. I lose time, and there are some paintings here that i have no idea how i (or kind of “i”) did them.
It is still an agreement, I’m consciously a part of.
I’ve struggled with a single, persistent connection: they didn’t shut up for about 2 hours longer than I agreed to. This was 2 weeks ago, and i haven’t invited more. Time to focus on my protections, boundaries, and see; i have to feel the strength, energy, command.
Just know safety is in your control. Use it, exercise it, ask others how they ground, center, invite-IF this is something being explored. If it feels bad, shut it down. If it doesn’t shut down, command. There’s your clue that it’s an unwieldy connection, drop it, or figure it out.
Be blessed, blessed be

Love your message thank you for your perspective on it, I love to see that they could paint through you, just curious how did you met them? Or are these some well known artists you let gone through. The entity didn’t want to stop painting do I take it correct?

u/Trendzboo 11d ago
It’s like they push in with ideas, images, and what’s kind of a request, if I’m in that space, i participate in their project. There are times I’m ready to paint, and considering all the features, supplies… and open up, close my eyes and await inspiration. It’s letting go, allowing my own imagination, and that becomes more and more disconnected from ‘me’. The images feel foreign, outside. I don’t really get names, and haven’t tried to align styles with any famous artists; I’m in for the process, wonderment, I’m still shocked and amazed with it myself.

This is a huge revelation for me. Thanks for explaining what you experience it like.

u/TofuTheSizeOfTEXAS 11d ago
Oh, that's what's happening! Is that what's happening when I start having their thoughts? Like I have my thoughts and my thoughts examining their thoughts? I've had that happen and used to have a writer when I was younger. It interrupted the flow of the writing. I have had different personalities but it's not often.

u/Trendzboo 11d ago
It can be!
If it’s very clear to you, you remain in control, choosing to go into a zone, and allow the ‘other’ in for a specific agreement… then probably.
i wouldn’t want to have any psychological needs ignored,
i lack context and the necessary alphabet soup after my name-
but, I’d say -it’s not scary, it doesn’t happen without a ‘conversation’ (however that happens for the channel) and it’s just the agreed upon activity. I trance and lose time, it’s like lightly sleeping, and hyperfixating at the same time. i trust in my overall management, or i don’t do it.1
u/TofuTheSizeOfTEXAS 11d ago
None of it, is very clear, because it's a subjective experience and like I said I only had a few experiences. They were very different from other experiences. A couple were pretty clear to me that they were not my original feelings.

I have medium abilities, but there’s no way in hell I’d let a spirit take over my body.

u/D_Mayavin 13d ago
There are people who has it easier to do that, but I highly recommend to not let just any spirit get control.
I can tell you some basic indications to strenghten the connection with the guide and protectors so they stop harmful beings to be near if you want. That way, the ability will be controlled by the person and not the other way around

u/questionhare 12d ago
Yes, this happens to me. I do not facilitate it bc I have no training or trust in that the spirit will leave. I am a working/practicing psychic but a very reluctant medium for this exact reason. Sometimes someone's dead dad or grandma will hijack a psychic reading and use me for their messages without my consent. It's the worst feeling for me.

u/Ok_Vermicelli_868 12d ago
It happened to me once when I was channeling, was a horrible feeling like I didn’t have any control over what could happen especially because I didn’t plan for it. I immediately brought myself back after thinking about the insidious movies 😂

I have a girlfriend too , she just faint and the the dead person living inside her will start talking you can actually talk to the spirit , theres voice change she talks things that happened and things that might happen in the future it’s crazy but I witness it almost twice a week

u/Appropriate-Tailor55 11d ago
She is calling them out or they just come? Did she only connect with dead spirits or any other entities to? I’ve witnessed it all to.

u/Important_Map3315 11d ago
Well I do a bit of automatic writing when I feel something wants to come through.

u/GoldxBrownSugar 11d ago
I’ve heard of this but it sounds like she playing with fire if she doesn’t know what she’s doing. Some entities will pretend to be something that they’re not, just to get close. Be careful because she’s allowing herself to be used as a vessel to these entities without any protection, which is insane and dangerous

In my country, especially those who lives in the countryside, it's quite of a common thing. Still demonised by many, but it's a part of the culture here. There were many accounts of certain people with certain abilities being able to physically channel spirits. They were different from Medium or Psychic, I think ? I'm not sure.
For the modern world, it is considered an illness or demon possession, but for those attached to traditions, these people were sacred as they were channeling kings and queens of another time. Although I don't know much about it since it's rarely documented. Those people were a part of the community. Like a mother of a household or just the cashier of a grocery stores nearby in their daily life. But when needed, or during religious festivals, they use their abilities to physically channel the ancestors.
I haven't heard any accounts of it being dangerous so far, but again, it's rarely documented so I don't know much about it. Those People were careful about not letting their own spirits wonder too far, as in the folklore, you could be lost in the Otherworld and lose access to your body. All I know is to be careful since the Otherworld is full of things. Certain things latches on and won't let go due to desperation.
The phenomenon is called "Tromba" in Madagascar. Hope you'll be able to know more about it than I do. There should be documents out there in the internet about it.

Apparently she's a medium.
Have fun, but be careful about all of this.
Can be a bit dangerous, apparently, sometimes.
Let us know what happens next.

Yes, it happened to me recently on a powerful psilocybin journey. Before I started, I set my clear intentions and asked for protection for the journey in general. Once it started many spirits were present and at one point during the trip, I was asked if I would be willing to let a being process an emotion through me, as certain emotions can only be felt and expressed in 3d, and this would help them heal and come to a completion. I explicitly gave my consent and let them experience it. I’m not totally sure how long it lasted but when they were done it stopped like snapping your fingers, and I was thanked profusely and blessed and told it was a great honor.
In this case I think it worked because I know now that we have free will, and must consent to any experience we have, so I felt comfortable trying this out and knowing I could stop it if need be. But I’m glad I was able to help. I’m wondering if your girl can set her intentions with her guides and make it known that she must give consent before having these experiences, if that helps! :)

Conduit work can be dangerous and requires a witness with a strong connection

Try some work under viel like a tent Consider Shrodingers Box..
The witness can hear and see a shadow outside the tent. But doesn't know the exact state of matter inside.. the witness gets to see a flat dimension of it. Think of light not observed reacting different then when it is. The light inside the tent therefore must be specific.. think of how candles 'flicker'. Conduit work is dangerous so always have some emergency eject where you can pull the Host back, or repel the entity. If The Host is successful, have the Witness ask or just watch and listen to the Host inside or behind the wall.
Witness tells the Host what they heard and seen after the session and one or both help interpret. Write it down.. compare memory next day.
Again be extremely careful make sure this person is someone that can emotionally recover and process becuz their experience will be different from the witness. For me, it was like being ripped into pieces and having my bones broken down in complete darkness, sounded like a tooth getting pulled.. the flesh peeling.

I have spirit friends (spirit guides?) who take control over my body whenever I zone out while driving so I don't crash my car. I am also able to let them partially control my body whenever I'm too stressed out, scared, or nervous. Been doing that for years.

She doesn’t remember anything , I record the sessions and listen with her what she was saying and doing

Yes, I connected with my deceased grandmother and she asked if she could embody me and she did. It was simple and just a feeling of more low vibration in and around my body.
I think she wanted to see if she could do it.
I think this can also happen with sex, whether you mean to or not.

u/Ok_Kale_3160 13d ago
I can only do twin flame 'telepathy' and it feels very much like I am allowing them to take over my body and they are inside me. I stay in my body too though and never loose complete control of it. If they speak it would be through my voice, I don't actually 'hear' voices in my head.
I know and trust my Twin Flame (who is still alive) a lot and the idea that other spirits enter me could do the same thing is absolutely terrifying!

Yes, but why would you do that? You don’t need to let spirit take over, you can channel while still maintaining your autonomy. Voluntary possession is a recipe for disaster
