From what I've learned, the primary goal of many negative spiritual influences is to generate fear. While removing such an attachment may be straightforward, the real difficulty is in staying free from it afterward. This requires consistent, persistent effort. External help can be useful, but its effectiveness often depends on the skill of the practitioner; not all assistance is equal.
Regarding chakras, causing serious, lasting damage to them is uncommon. The greater risk is that fear and other trapped emotions can cause us to block our own energy centers. While it's possible for an entity to temporarily affect the appearance or frequency of a chakra, creating a permanent alteration is far more difficult. Sometimes, what feels like a change may be a persistent illusion. The key is to maintain clarity, assess any help you receive critically, and continue your own steady practice.
