How to Protect Yourself from Psychic Attacks?
Psychic attacks may manifest in the dream world or through energetic impacts on the body in the waking world. They are mental intrusions, efforts from free-floating energies or specific people, to enter your psyche and make some kind of detrimental impact or extract information.
Try not to fear since 1) the greatest defense tool is the power of love and light; 2) negative energies thrive in the presence of negative thoughts or emotions. And 3) we will provide psychic protection using the principles of love and positivity. Some psychic attacks require embodied warrior energy, the assistance of professional healers and shamans, or both. Before getting into psychic self-defense, we need to explore and understand what psychic attacks are and how to identify them.
What is a Psychic Attack?
A psychic attack refers to a phenomenon in which negative or harmful energies, intentions, or influences are directed toward an individual’s energetic or psychic space. These attacks are often believed to be carried out by individuals who possess psychic or metaphysical abilities, intending to cause harm, discomfort, or disruption to the target’s well-being.
Signs of a Psychic Attack
The impact of a psychic attack on someone can be significant and varied, affecting them on multiple levels:
- Emotional distress: Psychic attacks can trigger intense and unexplained emotional turmoil, such as sudden mood swings, anxiety, fear, or depression. The victim may experience heightened emotional sensitivity and find it challenging to manage their feelings.
- Energy drain: Psychic attacks can lead to a sense of exhaustion and fatigue that isn’t easily explainable by physical reasons. This drain on energy can leave the victim feeling depleted and lacking vitality.
- Physical symptoms: Some people believe that psychic attacks can manifest as physical symptoms, such as headaches, body aches, and other discomforts that have no apparent medical cause.
- Disrupted thoughts: The victim might experience persistent negative thoughts, mental fog, or confusion. Their ability to focus, make decisions, or think clearly can be compromised.
- Sleep disturbances: Psychic attacks can also disrupt sleep patterns, leading to insomnia, nightmares, or a general sense of restlessness during sleep.
- Relationship strain: The negative energies from psychic attacks can impact personal relationships, causing misunderstandings, conflicts, and an overall sense of disconnect from loved ones.
- Spiritual imbalance: For those who are spiritually inclined, psychic attacks can disrupt their connection to their inner selves, higher consciousness, or spiritual practices. This can lead to feelings of spiritual emptiness or detachment.
- Blockages and obstacles: Psychic attacks may create barriers in the victim’s life, hindering their progress in various areas such as career, relationships, and personal growth.
It’s important to note that while belief in psychic attacks varies widely, the psychological and emotional impact experienced by individuals who feel they are under such attacks is real.
Types of Psychic Attacks
The concept of psychic attacks encompasses a variety of negative energetic or psychic influences that can impact an individual. While views about them vary across cultures and belief systems, here are some common types often discussed:
- Thought form projection: This type involves someone intentionally directing negative thoughts, emotions, or intentions toward a target. These projected energies can create a sense of discomfort or distress for the recipient.
- Energy vampirism: Energy vampires are believed to draw and drain the life force or vital energy of others. These individuals may have a chronic need for attention, validation, or energy, leaving the victim feeling depleted and drained.
- Curses and hexes: Curses are believed to be intentional acts where negative energies or intentions are invoked to cause harm to the recipient. Hexes are similar, with the intent of causing misfortune, bad luck, or suffering.
- Psychic cording: Psychic cords are energetic connections between individuals, often formed through emotional interactions. Negative cords can drain a person’s energy and make them feel controlled or manipulated by another person.
- Evil eye: The evil eye is a belief that someone can cast a negative gaze upon another person, inadvertently causing harm or misfortune. The recipient might experience bad luck, illness, or emotional distress as a result.
- Black magic or dark rituals: These involve the use of occult practices to harness and direct negative energies toward a specific individual. The intention is often to harm or control the victim.
- Telepathic attacks: These attacks involve sending harmful or negative thoughts directly into a person’s mind through telepathic means, causing psychological distress.
- Spirit attachment: Some believe that negative entities or spirits can attach themselves to an individual, leading to emotional, mental, and physical disturbances.
- Environmental energy influences: Certain places or environments are believed to carry negative energies that can affect individuals who spend time there. This can lead to feelings of discomfort, unease, and negativity.
- Dream manipulation: Psychic attacks can also occur in dreams, where negative entities or energies disrupt sleep, cause nightmares, or create feelings of fear and anxiety upon waking.
Regardless of one’s beliefs, addressing these forms of psychic attack typically requires practicing self-care, emotional resilience, and these simple yet effective practices.
5 Practices to Protect Yourself From Psychic Attacks
1. Clearing Ceremony
Use plant medicine, like sage and crystal allies, to clear negative energy and spirits from your environment and energetic field. There are many variations of these ceremonies: try buying white sage and sweet grass. Burn the white sage and brush the smoke around your whole body, then continue to fan the smoke around your house and, particularly around your bed, if you have night terrors.
While you sage yourself and your environment, concentrate on banishing negative or dark energy by holding light and love in your third eye. Next, repeat the process with sweet grass. As you bless yourself and your space with sweet grass, invite in positive energy, guiding spirits, and love and speak the following affirmation:
I release negative energies so that I may serve my higher purpose.
2. Cord Cutting and Earth Cording
Try the powerful practice of cord-cutting at night and Earth cording during the day. Before you go to bed, imagine a cord between yourself and any person or thing that comes to mind originating from your belly. Using a pair of imaginary scissors, cut the cord between yourself and any external energy that you envision.
You can envision this as a series of cords or perform the exercise cord-by-cord. In the morning, just after you awake, envision a cord connecting you from your belly to the center of the Earth. The cord is strong, flexible, omnipresent, and nurturing. Before bed, as you cut the cords, say this intention aloud:
I release energetic attachments so that I may serve my higher purpose.
Saltwater can also be used for a more powerful ceremony. Begin by gathering all the energetic cords from your chakras into one handful. Using the other hand, slice the air between your body and the handful and then dump them into the saltwater. Repeat again with the cords coming out of your back chakras.
3. Surround Yourself in Light
Visualization meditations offer powerful protection and support and, most importantly, a reminder that the source is with you. Envision your heart space as a white flame. Watch the flame expand and grow as the white light emanates outward from your heart to your extremities and beyond. You are surrounded by a large white light that does not originate from behind you but inside you. Repeat this mantra during this practice:
I am divinely guided and protected. I am light. I am love.
4. Strengthen Your Auric Field
Deeply rooted in Eastern philosophy, the auric field is the pulsing vibration or energy around a being. It can extend up to 25 feet in all directions from your body and is a colorful combination of all your chakras. Your aura may change depending on your surroundings, yet as a divine being, you are able to cultivate the strength of your aura as an energetic boundary. In fact, you are accountable for what you allow in and out of your auric field.
While standing, envision the placement and colors of each chakra, from red at your feet to violet at your crown, beating and circling like great wheels. Imagine the wheels growing in size until they begin to merge into a beautiful tie-dyed circle around your being. One color may emerge as your primary auric color. Envision this field around you, and remember that you may control the two-way permeability of this field: you may let in what you wish and send out what you wish. Repeat the mantra below during this meditation:
I let positive energy in and deflect negative energy. I am radiant.
5. Dream Work
Since psychic attacks often happen while people are sleeping and manifest as night terrors or nightmares, working with your dream world is an efficient tactic for addressing psychic attacks. Write in a dream journal and document your thoughts upon awakening and memories of your dreams.
Before falling asleep, ask to remember your dreams and for them to be of light and love. Then, call in your ancestral or spirit guides to protect you in the nebulous landscape of your dreams. You may also try playing binaural beats as you fall asleep, lulling you into a state of deep relaxation. Repeat this mantra before bed:
Ancestors and spirit guides, please guide and protect me in my dream.
How to Physically Manifest Healing Energy Through Your Chakras
The mind is a wondrous instrument that is capable of so much more than modern science can yet understand, including how it is able to manifest physical healing. Bill McKenna, creator and founder of Cognomovement, explains his work with people suffering from physical, emotional, energetic, and spiritual issues, finding that the mind is so powerful it can manifest our desires into reality.
McKenna’s experience led him to understand how the mind affects our energetic fields, which, in turn, affect our states of health (and achieving our desired physical outcomes). While this concept is common within ancient Eastern teachings, we are now realizing how the energies of the chakras are connected to what manifests in our lives.
By mindfully releasing attachments to our memories and experiences, McKenna says that it’s possible to proactively feel and move our energy to create a state of mental, spiritual, physical, and emotional well-being. His method for such manifestation is through visualizations and tactile exercises that disconnect us from negative thoughts.
McKenna’s groundbreaking book, “The Only Lesson,” is testimony to his work with the mind-body connection and details his life-changing spiritual awakening after having studied with a number of master teachers. This has culminated in his deep understanding of the secrets of self-discovery and the ability to create miraculous changes in his life and the lives of others.
Regina Meredith sets the stage when she adds, “oftentimes when we don’t manifest, it’s because we have some unresolved issues.”
McKenna agrees that if we didn’t have fear, our health and wellbeing would have already manifested from our energetic field. So it’s a matter of finding out what is in conflict with our desired manifestation. For most of us, says McKenna, it is some form of fear, ironically including what may happen if our manifestation comes to fruition. “The good news is that we can actually clear our field” by touching the blockage until it is gone.
McKenna says that thought forms are fragile relative to the entire field of energy and are therefore easy to dissipate and unblock. This will open the door to manifesting what we truly want.
In this interview with McKenna, we are prompted to ask what is blocking the manifestation of what we want out of life. He says the answer is thought, though, unlike other teachers, he shows how thought is palpable—it’s a tangible material form that can be dissipated and removed.
Each blockage is interdimensional and described by McKenna as “a quantum wobble” that can be dealt with more easily than we may have once believed. When the blockage is removed, he shows how to move the object of your desire down through the chakras to make it manifest.
