The best way to describe signs of a psychic attack is to use an example of an entity haunting a family. If you’re into horror movies like I am, then you’ll be familiar with the plot of most demonic possession films. (Because they’re all pretty much the same). It usually starts off with a family that moves into a haunted house. One of the children decides to play with an Ouija board and makes a new imaginary friend.

Then suddenly, strange things start to happen around the house. Lights flicker on and off or objects begin to move by themselves. The kid tells their parents, but they don’t believe them. As days go on, these events become more frequent and a bit concerning.

At this point, one of the parents will start to get angry with the family and say that everyone is losing their minds. (Usually the skeptic). Unfortunately, they can’t move out of the house because they can’t afford it. Hostility arises between family members and the energy in the house takes a turn for the worse.

One of the family members starts to experience terrifying visions and behavioral changes. (There is always one family member that gets it the worst). Their psychological and emotional state gets broken down, leaving them psychically weak. The entity then takes the opportunity to possesses the weak individual.

But not to worry. The family gets expert help to banish the demon for good and everybody lives happily ever after (with a little PTSD).

These are signs of a psychic attack. A more extreme version but you get the idea. The most common theme is that they happen slowly and gain momentum over time. You must recognize the signs early, which this post will teach you how to do.

Whether you consider yourself to be spiritual or a skeptic, anyone can experience a psychic attack. The lack of belief can actually help protect skeptical people. But, if they refuse to acknowledge the spiritual nature of the situation, then the issue may never resolve.

What are signs of a psychic attack?

A psychic attack is having your thoughts and emotions negatively altered by a person or an entity for the purpose of deteriorating your state of well being. That’s it. Just to eff up your day. These aren’t physical attacks, but rather metaphysical or spiritual attacks. How do you recognize it? Here are some different types:

Intrusive thoughts:

These are disturbing, involuntary thoughts that occur spontaneously. You’ll just be minding your own business and then boom! Some weird visual or urge pops into your head and you don’t understand why. Sometimes they can be violent, religious, or even sexual in nature.

It’s anything that freaks you out in the moment. Have you ever been driving and thought about taking the car off the bridge? That is an intrusive thought and they’re more common than you realize. They can be associated with psychological disorders, however, dark energies can definitely plant intrusive thoughts into your head to make you feel negatively about yourself.

If this happens, just let the thought pass through and don’t give it any more energy. You can say an affirmation that is the positive opposite of the intrusive thought like, “I drive safely because I care about the well-being of myself and others”.

scary Hauntings:

Just because there’s a ghost in your house doesn’t mean that they always mean you harm. Sometimes they just need help crossing over or just enjoy being in the space. But when you start to feel like you’re being threatened in any way, then that could be an early sign of a psychic attack (just like in the movies).

Any time you’re in your own space, you shouldn’t feel scared or threatened in any way. If at any time you feel like you’re being watched, you’re creeped out in different parts of the house, or the animals start to act funny, then this will be the time to act. Cleansing your home of the energy and setting up the space for positivity can get rid of whatever is there. We will discuss later.

Nightmares:

These nightmares will usually be quite vivid and stand out from other dreams, and will often give you visuals of being physically attacked. You may not always remember the dreams, but you’ll wake up feeling distressed or nervous. This can set you up to have a difficult day and leaves you vulnerable for more psychic attacks while you’re awake.

Extreme fatigue:

Not sleeping well because of a nightmares can be a sign of an energetic parasite. Sometimes there will be an entity that will sit on your auric field and feed off of your life force energy. These will often go unnoticed because we will assume it’s anything BUT a psychic attack.

This can also occur when you’re spending time with someone that drains you energetically. Some would refer to these individuals as energy vampires.

Energy vampires are people (or entities) that pull excessive amounts of attention and energy from an individual. They often have drama in their lives and speak negatively on a regular basis.

You may have someone in your life who doesn’t realize they are an energy vampire. But if you feel like you become more irritable, anxious, or fatigued after spending time with that person, then they could be siphoning your energy. It’s best to set boundaries and time limits with energy vampires.

Curses & spells:

Curses and spells are done by someone you may have pissed off. Usually what will happen is you’ll have a bad interaction with this person, then shortly afterwards you’ll experience a string of bad luck. You may even start to think about that person more often for no reason. Curses and spells will sometimes require an item of yours or you may find unexplainable items in your home. But, getting rid of the cursed items and energetically cleansing your home should do the trick.

Depression/suicidal/homicidal thoughts:

Some major signs of a psychic attack are depression, suicidal and homicidal thoughts. Once suicidal or homicidal thoughts begin, all bets are off and professional help must be sought out immediately. If you are not sure of who to call, you can always go to the emergency room. As a previous ER nurse, I’ve always appreciated people making the brave choice to be held in the ER for their own safety. Recent trauma or psychiatric illness should always be ruled out before concluding that there is an active psychic attack.

However, if that is indeed what is happening, then that means it’s been going on for a while. Weeks, months, maybe even years. Empaths and Starseed are prone to these attacks, especially if you’ve struggled with depression in the past. If this is the case, you’ll need to cleanse your energy and home on a regular basis.

Feeling seduced into dark behavior:

9 times out of 10, people who commit a wrongful act are usually seduced into doing so. Maybe not seduced by an actual person, but rather by an energy. Such energies can be greed, fear, guilt, anger, shame, or hate. Encouraging the growth of these feelings is a tactic used by the dark side to seduce you into behaviors that you will later suffer the consequences from.

The end result of such acts will most likely lead back to the same negative feelings that brought you there in the first place. This becomes a karmic loop of negativity and suffering, which is exactly what dark energies feed off of. This is why temptation into wrongful acts is referred to as Lucifierian energy.

How to clear a psychic attack

If you’ve ruled out any medical or psychological causes and have concluded that you are experiencing signs of a psychic attack, then there are a few things you can do the clear them.

Visualization

Our thoughts are powerful enough to manifest anything into this reality. But just because you can’t see the magic with your physical eyes doesn’t mean that it isn’t happening on the metaphysical plane. One method to rid yourself of darkness is to visualize white light around you. Darkness can only exist in the absence of light, similar to how hate can only exist in the absence of love.

Visualizing white light around yourself and your loved ones puts up an etheric shield in which darkness can’t penetrate. If you have difficulty with visualizations, then you can state out loud, “I now put the white light of Source Frequency around myself, my family and my home”. Saying this three times will amplify it and seal it in.

Ask for protection

Now, if you believe in dark energies and entities, then you have no choice but to acknowledge the existence of light beings as well. If you think about it, it is pretty freakin awesome. Light beings believe that everything in existence is connected and therefore are motivated to move in the direction of love and unity.

When called upon, they can provide you with protection as long as it doesn’t interfere with a previous contract that you’ve created for yourself. These beings abide by the laws of free will, which means they will not intervene unless you ask them to do so. The most commonly known light beings that provide humans with protection are the Angels.

Crystals

Dark, grounding crystals can either reflect the negative energy away, or absorb the energy. Black obsidian, hematite, and shungite are perfect for accomplishing this. You can place a large crystal in the corners of your home, ideally in the shape of a square to create a grid of protection. You can also wear them on your body if you are entering a space that doesn’t feel high- vibing. Although crystal are incredible tools by themselves, it always helps to meditate with them and set clear intentions for what you are trying to accomplish.

Singing Bowls

Singing bowls are designed to create a sound that resonates at a certain frequency. Anything that doesn’t align energetically to the sound is either transmuted or removed completely. Walking in a clockwise fashion throughout your home while playing the singing bowl will help remove any stagnation, and allow positive energy to take it’s place.

Herbs and plants

Some of the more popular sacred herbs and plants out there would be white sage, Palo Santo, Frankincense, myrrh, and lavender. You can either burn them to create smoke, or spray the essential oil if you are pregnant or intolerant to smoke. Starting with your front door open, you’ll either smoke or spray the entire home in a clockwise fashion throughout the house until you’ve reached the front door again. This will push the energy through the house until it’s pushed out the front door. Once you’ve stepped outside, you can also smoke or spray yourself before reentering your home.

How to prevent psychic attacks

Staying proactive to prevent signs of a psychic attack is going to be the best way to avoid them. This also can be the hardest part because it requires taking full responsibility of the conditions you find yourself in. Instead of recognizing negative energy in others or in you home, it’s time to recognize it within yourself. In order to see change in your surroundings, you must be the change first. Here are a few ways to do this:

Raise your vibration

When it comes to the world of energy, like attracts like. The phrase “misery loves company“ is an example of this principle. Your energetic vibration will attract similar people or situations of that same frequency. Negative energy dwells in a lower vibration while positive energy is in a higher vibration. Creating joy in your life raises your frequency and attracts positive people and situations, and creating anger or sadness will attract the negative. Focusing your thoughts and energy on positivity will prevent negative energy from resonating at your frequency.

shadow work

Shadow work is the practice of uncovering the root cause of your unhealthy, subconscious patterns. It’s trying to understand why you do the things you do, how it’s impacting your life today, and what you can do to change it for the better. Shadow work needs to be done for any undesirable behavior that you exhibit, because it’s those bad behaviors that will attract negative energy.

A good way to know if something deserves shadow work is if you are easily triggered and thrown into an emotional state by something without there being a good reason. Take road rage for example. If you’re honking at another car because you need to get their attention for safety reasons, then that would be reasonable. But if you’re honking at another car not out of safety, but rather because you’re easily upset by the way others drive, then that may indicate that there is something deeper going on within you that needs to be addressed. Healing the underlying issues will automatically raise your vibrational frequency.

Use your intuition

Your intuition is the best tool you have when it comes to protecting yourself. When you interact with people or places, your energetic field is the first thing that receives the information. This information is translated into intuition or a gut feeling, and is received faster than your brain or physical senses. If you take the time to practice and listen to your intuition, it can keep you safe and help you become aware of unhealthy people or situations. Overall, if your gut is telling you that something is bad, listen to it.

Fear nothing

There’s a difference between being cautious and being afraid. You proceed certain situations with a healthy amount of caution because you are showing respect for the situation. If you approach it with fear, then you disempower your ability to handle the situation in a calm and effective manner. Dark energies rely on you being scared because this is how it gets its power.

Conclusion

The darkness isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It just is. We live in a world of duality and that isn’t going to change. Darkness is something we need because without it, we wouldn’t understand who we are. We can’t know if we are good unless we know what bad is first. Sometimes it takes interacting with evil to know that God is real. And if you know and believe that God is always protecting you, then what is there to be afraid of?
