Have you ever felt yourself drained just by being around a certain person? You might experience feelings of anxiety or exhaustion after interacting with them. This person could even appear in your dreams, visions, or during meditation. You may even find yourself feeling unexplained physical pains, headaches, or fatigue. If so, you might be experiencing a psychic attack.

What Are Psychic Attacks?

Psychic attacks happen when a person sends negative energy to another. This may be done consciously or unconsciously, and often happens due to envy or jealousy. It's very much like the "evil eye" spoken of in some folk traditions -- when someone looks at another person with envy, the person they look at may suffer.

Symptoms of a psychic attack can vary widely. People usually report things like nightmares, exhaustion, headaches, physical pain, weakness, and even the sensation of being watched. If an attacker knows their victim has certain weak points -- a bad back, for example -- the victim may begin experiencing new, more severe symptoms in these areas.

Protecting Yourself Against Psychic Attacks

The first step to protecting yourself is to recognize what is happening. Most psychic attacks occur because the attacker feels weak or vulnerable in some way, so they lash out energetically. Understand that the attack is happening, and it has more to do with the attacker than it does you.

Next, learn to shield yourself. Spend several minutes each day visualizing a bubble of golden energy around you. This bubble is transparent, and only allows positive energy in. Meditate and practice visualization until you can feel this bubble protecting you throughout the day. This is a very basic, but powerful, technique for energy shielding. Once you have it down, you can learn more advanced methods for cleansing and protecting yourself in Spiritual Cleansing & Psychic Self-Defense.

You may wish to carry protective talismans as well. Lapis lazuli is known as a powerful protective stone. You can wear it as a necklace or bracelet, or, if you have a weak spot that the attacker is targeting, keep a tumbled stone in a pocket near that spot. Black tourmaline is another protector against all forms of negativity. Like lapis, you may choose to wear it as a necklace, bracelet, or keep a piece on you. If you wish, you can combine them with a Protection from Attackers amulet. Since these will be subjected to a lot of negative energy, cleanse them often using sunlight or fresh running water.

Reclaiming Your Space From Psychic Attackers

Chances are, you experience attacks more often in certain rooms of your home. These may be rooms where you have experienced trauma, or rooms that the attacker is familiar with. Declutter and clean these spaces, and, if possible, reclaim your space by redecorating or rearranging the furniture. Sprinkle some Jinx Removing sachet powder in the corners of these rooms, and rub a drop of Protection oil on the doors and windowsills to keep evil energy from entering. When your home is prepared, place an Uncrossing candle in the heart of it. Light the candle, and say...

I reclaim this space. This is my home, and no negative energy may remain here.

Allow it to burn completely. If you have to leave it unattended, snuff the candle and re-light it when you return.

Call on Your Spirit Guides For Extra Protection

You might feel alone, but you are not. Your spirit guides, ancestors, and guardian angels are available to help protect you if you ask them to. Find a calm, peaceful place in your home, where you are able to sit comfortably. Set up a Spiritual Protection candle in a fireproof holder. If you know your guides' names, call on them as you light it. If not, simply request that the good spirits around you listen to your call. Sit quietly for a moment, and listen for any signs from the spirit world. When you are ready to continue, ask your guides to surround you with their protection, and send back any psychic attacks sent your way. Once you are through communicating with your guides, allow the candle to burn completely.

Psychic attacks are common, but they are not easy to deal with. They always come from attackers who are at a disadvantage -- they cannot get what they want, and they will not confront you directly. Use these strategies to shield and protect yourself from any attacks sent your way, and you will be able to live your life in peace.
