PSYCHIC ATTACK
CLEARING THE EFFECT OF NEGATIVE INFLUENCES: There are many forms of negative attack that every human being is effected by throughout their lifetime. Some are indirect, covert and others are very direct and intentional. there are many processes that we can work with to eliminate the effect and influences of other people’s negativity, and below is a list of such processes tha I am sure you will find valuable at some point in the future.
PSYCHIC ATTACK: Psychic attack can be created from jealousy, greed or somone wishing yoiu ill; perhaps even desiringsomething that you have.
PSYCHIC THOUGHT FORMS: This is another form of Psychic Attack. It can be through the individuals desire at a subconscious level of having/ attracting/ creating/ wanting something; that this is set up in a thought intent. Often it is not a conscious action, but more at a subconscious level that the desire is manifested and then activated through thought.
Negative intent by an individual can also be acioned by a conscious decision and this is when someone blatantly wants to harm or hurt another individual.
Out of the way to destroy. - This is where yoiu make a conscious decisions to harm someone. This is where spells, dark forces and witches come into it.
SPIRITUAL PROTECTION: There are many forms of protection that we can work with. I am confident you will find the ones that I have listed below; invaluable.
CREATING A BUFFER ZONE: Protects you from the conscious negative intent of an individual. - Bring down a vibrant gold light around your aura and your thought intent is to have it reflect that gold ray outward away from you. Thought intent inside this is to deflect negativity with love back to its source of origin. In sending the negative thought intent back with love, we ask the individual(s) sending it to consider their true motives; and to consider the negativity they are working with. It will often give that person a conscience and change their action.
PROCESS FOR ELIMINATING GREED, JEALOUSY AND ENVY: More of an unconscious process by an individual. - Bring down a vibrancy of gold light wrapping around you with an outer shell of blue and the find droplet of silver, just like rain within the blue, reflecting love and acceptance outwardly. This will send the sense of unconditional love to the other person, deflating their negative thinking at an internal level and opening them to a more harmonious relationship with the world in general.
SELF PROTECTION AND BALANCE: Use with crystals. The best crystals that we can work with for honoring ones’ truth, and protection one from all forms of negativity is Tuquoise. Placing Black tourmaline on window sills in bedrooms will deflect negativity back to its sources and remove it from our environment.
SHIELDS OF PROTECTION: We can set up shields of protection to block negativity from hitting out people. We can do this by repeating the following “I call on my Higher Self and ask that you automatically place a shield in front of anyone that I am angry with, that I am thinking negative thoughts toward, that I am projecting anger toward. I ask that the shield automatically be placed in front of them to protect them and that the energy be transmuted into something very positive and used for planetary healing; or for whatever it is that you wish to work with healing.” - Anything you wish to nominate that energy to be used for, then nominate it.
PSYCHIC ATTACK / NEGATIVE ATTACK: A true “Psychic Attack” is designed to cause injury, illness or setback to a person. It can only be carried out by an “Adept” through the use of spells or incantations. When the average person says “I wish you would get run over by a bus”, it isn’t likely to happen; but the person to whom it is directed may feel some of the negative energy but generally cant cause any harm or long-term damage. An “Adept” that works in the light would never invoke a psychic attack because it would invoke Karma and the possibility of invoking the Karmic Tribunal. A psychic attack would be self-destructive to the “Adept”.
“Negative Attack” is when we verbally attack someone else. That is a negative attack. For example, anytime we make a false statement deliberately designed to damage someone else’s reputation, we are negatively attacking them. - People often do this in relationships and I have sen it happen on numerous occasions where someone feels insecure in a relationship and another friend, who really likes their partner, decides that this is the time to strike! What Happens? - She goes up to her best friend and says “Oh, someone saw him out with someone after he dropped you off last Saturday night, etc”. She plants a seed. Seeds are very hard to remove, even if you trust implicitly. If somebody said to you (you’ve just started dating this guy) “He was recently seen at the clinic for sexually transmitted diseases, and he has a track record of dating more than one woman at a time”; and this was a female that really fancied your guy and was trying to get you to dump him, instinctively, you’d drop him like a hot cake.
PROTECTION
WHY DO WE NEED IT? WHAT IS IT USED FOR?
Protection is used to keep away unwanted energy, whether psychic or physical. The protection will change depending on the situation or circumstances. There are different levels of Protection depending on what you are doing and your won level of Spirituality: you can set up guidelines so that your protection is automatically in place in particular situations. These can include white light filters, chain mail, chicken wire, gold shield. purple shroud or asking St Michael’s shield of protection. Protection should not be taken lightly, because it can protect not only you but other members of the family plus your friends.
One form of protection is White Lighting yourself and your property. This involves imagining a white cocoon enveloping whatever you are protecting White lighting will need to be up-graded as your Spiritual level increases; because you shine more brightly and can attract higher levels of psychic attack. When placing the protection, make sure it covers your aura, not just your body. Another simple form of protection is crossing your arms and legs, as this draws your aura in closer to your body. This is effective at a very basic level but should not be used in everyday situations because it can and will block of positivity.
Gold Chain Mail is another example. Be aware when you put it on as it can be very heavy (seeing that it is very heavy there is nothing that stops you from asking your guides from making it light weight). It is only used during “ghost busts” or “energy clearings”. The Gold Chain Mail forms an impenetrable barrier through which nothing negative can penetrate. To put Gold Chain Mail around you, picture the White Light flowing around you; now slowly change the White Light into Gold. Then imagine he Gold turning into Gold Chain Mail (you can imagine Gold Chain to be like the mesh worn by knights when they went into battle).
There are many forms of Protection and there is no set rule that says you cannot invent your own; try creating you own and ask your Guides to help you try it out.
TO PROTECT YOURSELF YOU MUST REMEMBER TWO THINGS:
1. Never believe that you will be harmed by anything or anybody because you are an ageless, eternal soul.
2. Practice fearlessness by never being afraid of anything or letting he imagination run wild by imagining something happening to your body to harm it
PSYCHIC PROTECTION PRAYER
I ask the Divine Light Forces for the protection against all that is not of the Light and for the healing on all levels.
LOVE AND LIGHT BE WITH YOU ALL AT ALL TIMES ON YOUR JOURNEY
