This in turn creates disruptive vibratory patterns and it has a building effect on the individual and those around them. Very few entities depart the physical plane as a surprise because usually it is better coordinated than the entry into the physical plane by most entities. As I say, this state is an important period. It is the transition period, the loosening of the physical ties and it is during this four to two week period where the entity will accelerate his passing through the lower planes or fixate himself there. The lack of conscious knowledge, the insulation of the consciousness from the inner self causes, in most instances, this transition period to hinder the entity.
People responding to the cues in turn, send out emotional signals to the entity preparing to depart.
All of it can create quite an emotional or astral fixation. For those entities that fear death, their fears and discomforts grow during this transitional period. They find themselves longing for certain aspects of the physical plane that they found desirable or pleasurable in their past. Usually these things are tangible in some sense being either a possession, a place or a living person. The entities rather than flowing with the loosening from physical, consciously attempt to grasp and cling to the physical.
