Thought Forms: Part 2 – The Ones We Build Ourselves

When We’re the Ones Feeding the Thought Forms

Not all thought forms come from outside attacks.
Some of the most persistent ones are the ones we build—unknowingly—through our own emotional loops.

When we replay an experience over and over again—especially rejection, betrayal, or deep disappointment—we build vibrational imprints that don’t just live in the mind. They take form. They linger in the emotional and etheric body. They cling to the solar plexus, the heart, even the throat.

It starts as a simple memory.
Then we rehash it.
Then we talk about it.
Then we dream about it.
Then we relive it.

And now it’s no longer just a passing thought—it’s an energetic structure.
A thought form.

Fueled by repetition. Reinforced by emotion. Anchored by belief.

How We Create Our Own Attachments

You may feel it as a heaviness in your chest when you think about that person.
Or a tightness in the gut when you’re about to speak your truth.
Sometimes it comes as a flash of sadness or anger when you least expect it.

These are signs that your own thought forms are still active.
Still charged.
Still drawing energy.

And even worse—still shaping your present moment.


How to Begin Releasing What You Created

You’re not cursed. You’re not stuck. But you are entangled.

Here’s how I’ve seen it cleared in spiritual healing work:

  • Step one is recognition. Naming what’s there gives it form—and what has form can be cleared.

  • Step two is responsibility. You may not have deserved the pain, but the looping is yours.

  • Step three is reset. That may be visualization, prayer, breathwork, or even forgiveness—but it must be intentional and repetitive to dissolve what was built the same way.

Sometimes I’ve had to say:
“I forgive the moment, not the action.”
“I release the replay, not the lesson.”
“I dissolve the loop, not the truth of what I felt.”

Because what you felt was real. But what you built doesn’t have to stay.


From Metaphysics to Real Life

Leadbeater and Besant wrote about how thought forms look: color, motion, hooks.

Alice Bailey said thought alone doesn’t create disease—but thought fused with belief weakens the etheric field.

I’ve experienced that firsthand.

The more I replayed my hurt, the more tangled my field became.
The more I told the story, the more “real” that version of myself became—until I realized I had built a vibrational echo of the event that was louder than my healing voice.

That’s when the real work began: burning the blueprint.


Here’s what I’ve learned:

  • Your thoughts are seeds.

  • Your repetition is water.

  • Your emotions are sunlight.

What you grow depends on what you tend.

You are not just a thinker.
You are a builder.
And what you build, you can dismantle.

Thought Forms & Vibrations Today

When Thought Forms Linger


When someone focuses on you with intense hate, envy, or obsession—and repeats those thoughts over and over—they’re not just thinking. They’re building a thought form.

It’s not the idea alone that causes harm—it’s the charge behind it.
Uncharged thoughts—even negative ones—often dissolve on their own. But charged thoughts? They vibrate. And they linger.

Thought forms carry vibratory energy—sometimes dense, sometimes suffocating—and for the spiritually sensitive, they can be felt like a fog in the room or a weight on the chest. And yes, they can cling.

But not all thought forms are easily felt. Some are subtle, almost imperceptible. Others are sharp, hostile, or invasive—especially when fueled by jealousy or obsession. Their vibration may tangle in the aura, settle in the space, or go unnoticed until symptoms appear.

Sensitivity to these vibrations varies. What feels like a slap to one person might not even register to another. That’s why awareness is so important—not just spiritual sensitivity, but the wisdom to interpret what you’re sensing.

Over time, thought forms can evolve into what some traditions call elementals—energetic constructs sustained by repetition and emotion. These forms imprint into objects, linger in spaces, and attach to the human field.

For example, someone once held a book returned to them by a person holding unresolved animosity. The vibration around the object was still active—dense, bitter, malevolent. That’s the power of a charged thought.

In another instance, the energy in a workplace shifted dramatically when someone silently projected rejection or resentment. The energy was so intense it followed the recipient home—even their normally affectionate pet reacted with fear and aggression.

Why wasn’t the energy cleared? Because typical methods like smudging, visualizing, or aura raking aren’t always enough. Sometimes, it takes more: water, salt, herb, prayer—and strong intention—to fully cleanse the field.

Where Classic Metaphysics Meets Lived Experience

In Thought-Forms (1901), Charles Leadbeater and Annie Besant described how thoughts produce visible forms in the astral body—shapes, colors, movements, and even hooks that latch onto people. They recorded thought forms that shot like arrows, clung like fog, or swirled with aggression.

That made sense to me. But what I experience is even more direct:
I don’t see shapes—I feel the weight. I call it vibrational density.

Some thought forms feel like a whisper in the air. Others feel like a wet blanket from head to toe. Some feel like a plastic bag pulled over my head—cutting off clarity, breath, and energy.

In Esoteric Healing, Alice Bailey offered another critical insight: thought alone does not create illness—and I agree. But here’s how I take that further:

When thought is fused with belief and obsession, it weakens the field. It doesn’t directly cause disease—but it opens the door.
It destabilizes the etheric body, making the system more vulnerable to deeper spiritual or physical breakdown.

A thought form isn’t just a thought.

It’s a construct—built through repetition, intent, and emotional force. Once fully formed, it feeds on energy and keeps returning to the source—or its target—until it’s cleared.


Honoring the Legacy of Living Spiritual Science

We’re not just studying theory.
We’re living the truth.

Thought forms and vibrations aren’t a thing of the past—they’re with us today. And it’s our responsibility to clear what clings, protect what’s sacred, and rise in alignment with divine law.

Living Spiritual Science – Part 2

Spiritual Senses and Discernment

Understanding the Spiritual and Physical Connection Spiritual Scientists recognize that human beings have five physical senses and equivalent spiritual senses. Not all spiritual senses are active at once; they emerge as needed—offering insight, guidance, and sometimes challenge, depending on the situation or spiritual need. What I share here is not something I learned from books—this is based solely on my own personal experience. My sense of touch is constantly active—I can feel vibrations, both near and far. This would fall under clairsentience, the ability to feel spiritual impressions.

I went many years without having a word for what I experienced. In my study of Alice Bailey’s Esoteric Healing, vibrations were studied, but I kept using the phrase “feeling energy,” which led people to label me as an empath. That label didn’t match my experience—I wasn’t feeling others’ emotions; I was picking up on vibrations and thought patterns. Over time, I had to reframe how I described my sensitivity, because the common understanding of “feeling energy” pointed to emotional empathy, not the tactile experience I was actually having. It has always been about the direct awareness of vibrations.

That was a sign of my gift that day, despite the conversation. Vibrations come in a range of densities—from suffocating, tingling, gentle, to light and airy. I can feel the energy in an aura, objects, thoughts (anger, hate, etc), or even places—it’s not emotional empathy; it’s vibrational sensitivity.

My sense of smell activates when required. This is often referred to as clairsalience—spiritual smell. I may smell fragrances, smoke, or other scents that are not physically present but carry spiritual meaning or connection to someone who has passed. When necessary, I also hear or see spirit. Hearing spirit is known as clairaudience, and spiritual sight is referred to as clairvoyance—both are forms of receiving messages beyond the physical senses. But I prefer to keep certain senses, like sight and hearing, dormant unless they’re truly needed.

One sense I’ve yet to experience is taste—and honestly, I don’t think I would want that gift, especially when it first bursts forth. Taste, like smell, is a physical sense. Spiritually, it is known as clairgustance—the ability to perceive taste without a physical source. If clairgustance ever activates for someone, the experience might include tasting something comforting, like peach pie their grandmother used to make, or something unpleasant or down right gross. Each taste represents something Spirit is communicating, and the individual must learn the meaning of each flavor. It’s not vibration or energy—it’s direct symbolic communication. And for now, that’s not a door I feel called to open.

What Happens When Emotions Take the Driver’s Seat

In the next part of this series, we’ll explore how emotional turbulence can lead to the creation of thought forms, how those forms attach, and what it takes to release what isn’t yours. This includes the subtle (and not-so-subtle) emotional patterns that can turn into energetic residue—and what a Spiritual Scientist must know to stay clear, grounded, and in alignment with truth.
