Do you ever suffer from headaches, migraines or constant streaming thoughts that you can’t switch off? Well instead of reaching for the aspirin bottle or that strong cup of black coffee, have you considered you might be suffering a “psychic attack”? So what is a psychic attack and how might we deal with it? I realise that some are none too comfortable with the idea that there is a sophisticated consciousness in the surroundinng field able to drain our energy so if you’re not open to that possibility, I suggest you stop reading now.

For those of us who know denial is not a river in Egypt and wish instead to embrace reality the way it really is, lets carry on!...

Before I do however, I’d like to issue a warning - I believe it is very important for us to understand and deal with the effects of opposing consciousness but it is also vitally important that we don’t bring too much energy to the phenomenon and descend into mind games, fear and worry. To do so is self defeating because our fear may invite in the very energies we are seeking to counter.

So what exactly is “psychic attack” and how does it work? Personally I’ve had countless experiences and so I thought I’d share with you a very recent one including how I dealt with it.

A few days ago I awoke in the middle of the night quite restless. I’d been awoken by a dream, my head was thumping and I found it impossible to get back to sleep. I began having constant streaming thoughts about all kinds of things going on in my life right now. Fortunately I was able just to watch the thoughts and not become identified with the process - this then is the most important first step. Not to loose oneself in a continual battle of trying to stop, counter or resolve the thinking but simply letting it flow.

In so doing my consciousness was not completely swallowed up in the thinking such that I was also able to scan my body for particular feelings. Through experience I knew exactly what to look for; maybe a tightness in the solar plexus - a sure sign of energetic attack; or perhaps a tightness in the left temple. Both of these symptoms were present so it was becoming increasingly clear that an attack was in full flow.

For an attack to really have an effect like this however, there normally needs to be a channel of entry into ones field - a route by which opposing consciousness finds its way in. It could come from a judgment we're holding about ourselves or from for example an energetic connection with someone else. So I continued to scan my body and at this point asked my higher guiding consciousness for some help.

Sure enough within seconds of asking, I began to feel a slight tightness in my right chest. So I contemplated what this might be. It didn’t take long for an answer to arise - my dear mother is currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer. Unsurprisingly she is currently in a good deal of fear and worry and therefore likely herself to be under some form of attack. Although I continually cleanse my field ensuring that little or no cords of energy are attached to me, it quickly became clear that there was an energetic bridge existing between me and my mum.

“Nothing unnatural about this at all” many energy workers might profess but, it does not serve anyone to maintain energetic ties with another no matter how close they may be. We are each whole and integral beings and ideally (in enlightenment) we relate in that way. We don’t hold interdependent relationships because they hold our consciousness back.

That's not to say we don't hold profound unconditional love for another - of course we do. However contemplate what the word "unconditional" really means. It means that I won't hold a fixed idea or judgment about you - in other words I love you so much, I allow space for your consciousness to be whatever it chooses to be without limiting it with my idea (or energy) about it. To truly love someone is to set them free in this way.

So returning to my experience, I now knew I was being attacked by opposing consciousness and the route into my field was through an old energetic bridge between myself and my mum. I knew this would not be just a basic and simple counter.

So I got out of bed and went to my meditation room, lit incense and candles, deepened the connecting with my guardian, guides and soul family in spirit. Next I intensified the energy grid I’ve created by walking the perimeter of the room and bringing loving attention to the four corners each marked by a little bag of azestulite crystals. Following that, I took up a meditative position in the centre of the room and opened a heart connection to Arch Angel Michael. The bridge established, I could begin to feel that loving consciousness begin to pour in.

The next step was to cut the energetic tie between myself and my mum. Some might use visualisations to achive this, using a sword or scissors to "cut" the energetic web. If such visualisations help build energetic intention from the depths of within, then this can be a good thing. Whilst I do appreciate it may help people get in the "zone" so to speak, personally I've found it unnecessary - simple heart felt action suffices.

Having dealt with the bridge, it was then important to recognise that my mother’s consciousness might suffer from the removal of the bridge so it was important to send loving energy to help heal as well. This I did by envisioning a rose and handing it to her.

Now that protection was in place and the bridge severed, I still had to deal with the opposing consciousness which was still present in my field - in the background I was feeling a degree of nausea and my mind was still very active. At least now I knew that when I ejected the consciousness, there would be no open channel through which it could return.

So now to deal with the consciousness itself. There are a number of ways of doing this but at least initially, I’ve found the most effective is to “switch off” the energy source which the consciousness is feeding off. I’ve found the old Shaolin technique of “becoming as nothing” the best approach for this, because then they have nowhere to strike us. In multi dimensional terms, when we expand our consciousness (by doing spiritual evolutionary work - like meditating) we begin to “light up” through multiple dimensions and therefore attract in opposing consciousness.

Until we are adept at living through multiple dimensions and know how to move our energies through them, it is good practice to know how to turn one’s energy off in those other dimensions and the way to do that is to become well grounded in the third dimension. This harmonises well with “becoming nothing” and in fact they are much the same thing.

The technique for doing this is to scan the body identifying areas of tightness - in my case there was still the lingering feeling in my chest. So I moved my awareness to that place and centred in it. Being very clear that there was no efforting to remove it, I simply dissolved into it by becoming awesomely okay with it - not needing it to be a certain way and not judging it as pain, simply accepting it the way it was. Within moments it had completely disappeared. I did this throughout my body - lets be clear though, not all pain is removed that easily. However, what you can do with practice is to instantly let go of the need for the pain to go away - we simply remove the idea that the experience we’re having is pain.

Within about 30 minutes of working through my body this way, the feeling of nausea had gone, my mind was quietening and a deep sense of peace and relaxation was descending over my body. I could feel waves of unconditional love washing through me and shortly afterwards drifted off into a blissful slumber.

In conclusion, its important to state that even though the process I’ve described might seem quite lengthy and involved, the more we practice, the faster, slicker and more effective the approach becomes until we find it is a natural part of our beingness and effective psychic attack becomes the rarity rather than the norm.

What experiences or questions do you have? I'd be interested to hear.

Love and best wishes

I feel like a classic case of someone who has been under psychic attack. Your article is very useful. I love to read about your personal experiences and can see how it fits in with my own.

The one thing I don't quite understand is this business about archangels and swords. How do you experience the archangels? I don't see things like this. Is there something I am not getting? I usally find it hard to believe in things I cannot see or feel.

Thanks
Turtle

Hi Turtle,

Thanks for your question. Yes of course in "spiritual" circles there's lots of discussion around angels, ascended masters, guides and the like. Some people seem to get really invested in the whole idea - do they exist? if so, how so?

The answer to any question (at all) rests in going right back to the source of all things. There is only one moment. Both space and time are illusions. The universe itself arises out of nothing and therefore IS nothing. A dynamic equilibrium exists between nothing (which is everything) and all that we experience.

So separation (any separation) is an illusion and therefore all experience is an illusion. Yet to truly know anything - in other words to know ourself - we have to have experience. In order to have experience we have to allow the separation to happen and therefore we have to allow multiplicity of form.

Every experience has but one purpose. To know ourselves as what we are, which is infinite potential. So here is the divine paradox....how can you know infinite potential? Well of course in truth you can't! However you can get extremely close to infinite potential - its being extremely close to absolute stillness in all things.

This means that all experience is a distortion. It is all just a mirror. Yet once more arises the divine paradox - the absolute (infinite potential) can be known as a total LACK of experience...

"To be and not to be....that is the answer!"

So what does this mean in relation to archangels? Well since ALL experience is a distortion then archangels are distortions of truth also.

The way to consider this is that we are each being the seer and we project aspects of ourselves outwards to see what we are being. In other words we create mirrors of an aspect of beingness we now choose to experience.

So in my experience with Archangel Michael, my higher self was choosing to experience something symbolised by an angel with a sword. However I'm under no illusion that this projection is merely a part of me.

It does still serve a purpose - a very valuable one. It adds colour joy and fun to life. It provides a beautiful multi dimensional, multi faceted experience to this existence. It helps build up waves of joy and love from the depths of our being.

So "vive la difference!"

Chris

The topic of psychic attack, vampires and connections is something I'm exploring at the moment. The synchronicity of the timing of this post hasn't gone unoticed. Lol

I've been aware of ppl tuning in since I was a teenager. They don't know they're doing it, unconsciously they are attracted to the likes of me, I s'pose, because I can serve the purpose of relieving them of the emotions maybe. However since the retreat, I've taken on a new awareness of it all, not only can I now channel without blocks (THANKS guys) but am more aware of when I'm being used by ppl even when they don't know it themselves. So I have a few questions.

1. How can I safely protect myself while at the same time be there in the convo with some1. I'm mentally surrounding myself with protection, drawing my auric field in, handing their issues back to them with love, but I'm still feeling stressed and drained. Limiting contact is not an alternative.

2. How do I cut off a telepathic connection with some1. This is for their benefit as well as my own, so while I've cut my side, they haven't done the same and are still very aware of my emotions from a distance. Is there more I can do from my side? Or am I unconsciously being a psychic vampire myself? The emotion they always pick up on is when I'm upset, which they feel in their solar plexus. I'm aware that it's actually their need to be connected with me that's stopping them cutting the connection, but how do I help.

3. How do I carry on my lucid dreaming without taking extra travellers on board. I'm asking this question in this thread as I feel it's connected. My dreamworld is my other reality, I get alot of spiritual work done while I'm asleep but quite often either the dream is taken over by some1 else or I have tag-alongs. I've actually asked some1 before why they were using me and they said "sorry love, I have unfinished business and need you to get it done". Problem is I wake up exhausted and feeling like I've run a marathon. If I close myself off before I fall asleep I don't get the work done that I need to do.

4. Any ideas on how to hand back some1's issues without them noticing and putting up at fight? Since the retreat I've been aware of which issues are my own blocks and which 1s aren't. Am currently handing ppl's issues back to them and while they aren't aware of what I'm doing they are aware that they're not getting the same relief and they're not happy bunnies. This is kind of connected to Qu1 I think.

So many questions! Sorry, I hope this helps others as well as myself.

With Love

Hi Michelle,

Thanks for your thought provoking questions! I'll offer my perspective below....

"How can I safely protect myself while at the same time be there in the convo with some1. I'm mentally surrounding myself with protection, drawing my auric field in, handing their issues back to them with love, but I'm still feeling stressed and drained. Limiting contact is not an alternative."

This is a difficult one! Its all about identity. Who are you and what are you being when you're working? What do I mean by this? Bare with me here. Protection is a double edged sword. If there is something in us that fears attack, then we build an identity around that fear. Holding that identity is tiring because in authenticity there is no identity - simply non-identified awareness. When you can be "nothing in it" then there is no effort in setting up a psychic defence.

To be "nothing in it" is to understand, confront and release your fear of attack. Probably the best way of doing this is not to resist attack at all! As we are being attacked in some way, we need to feel ourselves being awesomely okay in it watching where tension arises and releasing that; watching our fears and understanding exactly what it is that we fear. If we allow ourselves to go deeply into them without needing the cause of the fear to be removed, then we will have dissolved identity in that kind of attack and it can no longer harm you and neither is it tiring - it just is.

So the question then arises "why do we need psychic defence at all if we can be "nothing in it"? The answer is this: in order to act and work authentically, you have to hold consciousness in a particular space and time. In your case, you need to be able to feel the energy of the person you're working with. When we are really skilled at this, we find we become as one with the person we are working with. We actually blend with their energy tasting the fullness of it, darkness, distortions and all. However since our own buttons are no longer being pushed, we don't loose ourselves in the interaction by identifying with the energy. There is always just a "wafer thin slice" of us there in the background which is untouched. I know it sounds a little complex but it comes with practice - by being nothing in it. Then when we can be nothing, this is the time to really put up psychic defence to keep out opposing consciousness.

I know it sounds strange but the key to great strength in these matters is first to be able to surrender completely!

Second question...

"2. How do I cut off a telepathic connection with some1. This is for their benefit as well as my own, so while I've cut my side, they haven't done the same and are still very aware of my emotions from a distance. Is there more I can do from my side? Or am I unconsciously being a psychic vampire myself? The emotion they always pick up on is when I'm upset, which they feel in their solar plexus. I'm aware that it's actually their need to be connected with me that's stopping them cutting the connection, but how do I help."

The question is are you being upset with them when they feel it? If so, then its likely that in truth you may still be holding some form of energetic connection - some kind of mutual need. Please don't be offended by this, it happens to us all! It just takes profound self honesty in dealing with it. When you're sure you have no neediness of them, then you may cut the tie energetically but it is unlikely to be released until you're sure there is no neediness on your part.

So assuming we're not projecting at the person we've just cut the tie with, how best can we help them? Well causing them to be authentic is the very best help we can give and we've already made the first step by proverbially "kicking away their disempowering emotional crutch". It may sound harsh, but the kindest thing we can do to another is cause them to confront reality the way it really is and that means becoming complete and whole. Of course it can be done as gently and compassionately as possible - so for example making them aware of what you're doing and why. You might also feel to give them something energetically - as I did a rose in the example with my mum.

Sometimes you may still feel their negativity and this may cause negative or emotional thoughts to arise in you about them. If you are both psychically sensitive then yes they will feel it and most likely in the solar plexus. So what can you do about it? If you suspect that you've projected negative energy at someone (and it can happen quite easily), one thing you might try is this... with your intention visualise and feel all the negative energy being drawn back towards you and gathering in a dense ball in your hand. Then either throw or kick the ball into space (!) and watch is exploding into light in the heavens. Give it a try, its worked wonderfully for me in the past!

So to the third question....

"3. How do I carry on my lucid dreaming without taking extra travellers on board. I'm asking this question in this thread as I feel it's connected. My dreamworld is my other reality, I get alot of spiritual work done while I'm asleep but quite often either the dream is taken over by some1 else or I have tag-alongs. I've actually asked some1 before why they were using me and they said "sorry love, I have unfinished business and need you to get it done". Problem is I wake up exhausted and feeling like I've run a marathon. If I close myself off before I fall asleep I don't get the work done that I need to do.

I'd like to ask you here, are you actually aware of what you're doing whilst you're asleep? How is it determined what work you're doing?

So to the final question...

"4. Any ideas on how to hand back some1's issues without them noticing and putting up at fight? Since the retreat I've been aware of which issues are my own blocks and which 1s aren't. Am currently handing ppl's issues back to them and while they aren't aware of what I'm doing they are aware that they're not getting the same relief and they're not happy bunnies. This is kind of connected to Qu1 I think.

Yes it is completely related to question 1. I would add that if someone really was projecting at me, I believe I would want to let them know what I was experiencing as a result of their stuff - I'd want to "call them on it" even if gently. So if the person kept confronting me with it, I would make them fully aware of what they're doing. If they don't listen and keep doing it, then when their energy interacts with you, at this point it will help to become completely "as nothing in it".

To give you an example of this, I was once called to break off a long standing relationship and the person involved continued to project negative energy at me. It was extremely powerful. What helped me was imagining the energy coming in as bullets (because that's how it felt) but then I imagined the bullets passing straight through me and all the while remained calm. Eventually the person tires of what they're doing and ultimately, because you've taken the target away, may well be caused to realise their own judgmental behaviour and actually might then have the impetus to do something about it.

At the end of the day, if we are being profoundly honest with ourselves about our motivations, then that's all we really have responsibility for.

Hope this helps!

Love and best wishes

Chris

Hi Chris

Thanks for all that feedback.

I've worked on what you said about the fear of attack being the opening for them and it's so true. To become nothing is definately working. A total acceptance of the situation, and of the emotion being handed over is the key for me. The phrase "fear feeds fear" is never truer. I'm finding this way works for every part of life that could potentially cause negative emotions, to accept the emotion, be as 1 with it, does set it free without any residue. There are many good ways of protection, the crystal grid is fab, but all these are made much stronger if worked alongside acceptance.

My dream world is way too complicated to explain on here. It'll have to wait to when I next see you guys.

With love and thanks

Hi Sunshine,

Elsewhere on the site you asked...

"I have always practised the traditional psychic protection of surrounding myself with a shield or bubble of light and found it to be very effective. I have been meditating more lately, but have also neglected my usual protection and wonder if I am under attack with headaches and racing thoughts. I live and work in London and surrounding myself with a bubble is my ‘lazy’ way of protecting myself. However I have started to wonder whether it was the right approach to the problem of psychic attack, in that yes it is fear-based but it also affirms myself as being separate to the whole and creates a boundary between.

Your approach of becoming nothing to it makes sense, but also feels a little advanced for me and I’m not sure I’m sensitive enough to locate where the attack is, why it’s happening and then to feel confident that it’s been removed. I will definitely give it a go however, and any more tips you could give would be very helpful."

I would say psychic attack in London is inevitable and rife due to the denseness of the energy there. So firstly how do you know if it is happening?

The key is to continually (or as much as possible) be in a place of the observer of yourself and watch the times when you loose inner peace. It could be for example that someone in authority over you - like your boss - "attacks" you with judgmentalism negativity or control. Or it could be someone being rude on the tube or in a shop which pushes your inner buttons making you stressed and tight inside. It might even be a friend a relative or a partner who had a hard day at work. These would all be instances of possible psychic attack - the instigator is possibly having their internal buttons intentionally activated.

Becoming nothing in this involves always having "an eye" on our internal state of consciousness - what we are feeling. If we feel ourselves "rising to the bait", we have a choice: either continue to be manipulated by this energy or relax into it and not rise to it - become awesomely okay in it. I've found it may help to do visualisations - in some instances for example at the beginning if the attack was very powerful from someone, I'd see the incoming energy as bullets but then watch them pass straight through me.

Its also important however to afterwards process what happened and ask why did you "rise to the bait" in the first place? It tends to signify an attachment to an outcome - where we wanted or felt we needed a particular outcome. In so doing we may release attachment and then the distorted neural pathway in the brain (the button) will dissolve so that we are less and less effected.

Best wishes

Chris

Why bother incorporating psychic attacks into your reality? I would rather incorporate love, laughter and the sound of cicadas singing in the night.

For psychic vampires, I suggest psychic garlic..

Hi Spurious thought,

I understand your way of thinking - assuming of course you're trying to make a serious point beyond the humour!

So it seems you've made the realisation that our reality is shaped and distorted by the state of our inner consciousness right? It also seems like you've made the next leap that so many seem to do - "if I shape reality by my state of consciousness why not change my state of consciousness to create a new reality?"

Or alternatively, if there's something I don't like why not simply process it out?

Unfortunately, (or fortunately which ever way you look at it) this is a flawed understanding of reality. That part of you which makes a statement like "I intend to create a reality like this" is that part which is still separate from the "all that is". It is that part which still considers itself to be an identity. In other words an ego desiring or choosing and is not willing to accept things the way they are. That identity is what can be termed the "shadow" or "imposter" of the "seer" - the seer being absolute non-identified awareness.

In enlightenment there is no need for intention or even choice - who is here to make the choice? There is simply awareness and an arising from that awareness of authentic purpose - what you might call "soul". The soul is our unique expression of the absolute and arises without intention, desire or effort. It is only the ego that then wishes to own what does or does not arise.

It is of course possible to distort our reality with intention - or rather I should say, YOU can distort YOUR own reality with you own intention. However the illusion that you create will not persist indefinitely - why not? Because we are all interconnected and every single thought word deed effects every other part.

You might be able to override in your mind what is really going on but what you won't be able to do is override the consciousness of EVERY CELL OF YOUR BEING (billions of them of course ) which are interconnected to every cell in the universe. If you could do that, then you would change the reality of every other being in the universe - and here's the divine paradox - you'd have to be enlightened to do that and in enlightnement there is no need of a choice - there is simply flowing as one with the universe.

I also have to say this view of manifesting false realities seems to me to be without real compassion of where other people are at and the reality they are experiencing. Try telling the monks in Burma currently being brutalised by the military dictatorship "all you really need do is choose not to be attacked". Would you suggest they try psychic galic too?

Chris

Sounds lovely

I would like to share from my perspective.

My experience is not that I 'incorporate' anything into my state of being. This would be overlay something over my authentic experience of being.

Instead I have found that these things (such as love and laughter) emerge as a natural expression of my unfolding when I am complete and in absolute acceptance of ALL THINGS).

If I feel psychic attack then I cannot find it in myself to deny that that is my experience. I watch the experience as see why it is that I am undergoing such a thing, effectively embracing the experience with open arms.

It is only then, with unconditional love and acceptance does the blockage that I was experiencing fall away and fully unveil my attributes of higher consciousness.

Warm Regards
Trin

I agree Trin

Recently (ok since the retreat!) I've been casting off the misconceptions I had about myself and embracing unconditional love without the fears of if I'm worth it. Consequently much has changed in my life, the psychic attacks that I now know I was almost "inviting" have gone, the blocks fall like leaves as each emotional breeze drifts in. In their place comes warmth and joy. While some see attack coming from outside, ultimately, for me, it was being invited from within even if I couldn't acknowledge it at the time.

I'm still amazed at how the world walks with you when you change to a new path.

With Love (unconditional obviously )
Michelle

It's beautiful to hear how things are unfolding for you Michelle.

It is so powerful when we recognise that everything outside of ourselves is an outward manifestation of what we are being inside. Life completely turns around when we accept responsiblity for attachment to our preception experiences 'out there'. Allowing those self imposed blockages to fall away allows us to ignite a much stronger connection with the flow of higher consciousness, at which point we feel more more supported, guided and bathed in unconditional love and acceptance.

With Love and ((((hugs))))

Sharing my experiences here with psychic attack.

In Ascension, most colds and flu are physical symptoms of psychic attack (negative thoughtform being directed at self).
Sore throat/stiff neck,and headaches. (anothers judging, causes headaches)
Sometimes there is karma attached to this, which must be investigated and cleared. (as you have stated Chris)

Using a pendulum one investigates whose energy is attacking, and sends it back, and forgives.
In fact all kineseology requires a pendulum. Guessing, assuming or intuiting falls short in the majority of cases.

The worse case scenario i have ever encountered was a friend in the U.S., her psychic attack put her in hospital.
Initially, she kept getting the flu, and couldnt shake it - months went by.
I penduled, that she was being attacked by her (then) spiritual teacher. She wouldnt have it, as she had a 'good relationship with X'
(pendulum and dreams were informing me that friend was irritating teacher with her knowledge .. that seemed to imply his lacks (ego causes psychic attacks).

She lost so much chi, her physical health couldnt combat the viruses that are waiting to attack the body all the time. And she went down like a sack of spuds.

One cannot really prevent another from directing negative thoughts, (the 'bubble' does not always work) only to be aware of ones kinesthetic body responses, and then return the energy directed at self.

Namaste

Greetings

After i posted the prevous post on psychic attack, i was led to some 'ascension information' that i have in notes.

Something called running the ' the lotus configuration'.

Not many know about this, as it encompasses the 12 chakra dynamic.
And many are still working with the 7 chakra system.
When we have the 7 chakra system, we run a 'figure 8' energy through our etheric body.

When we have acquired the 12-chakra system, we run what is called the lotus configuration (three loops instead of 2).

This has the abiity to push back all disresonant matter, or incoming disresonance.
Or 'karmic manipulation'... thereby preventing a psychic attack.

All Ascension information is to be experienced and then shared.
This is not a lack of humility on my part, but a sharing of all that i have experienced and now know as Universal Truths.

Namaste and Blessings
Relik

Hi Relik

I think the point Trinity was making with regards to humility, is that from the Openhand perspective there are NO Universal Truths. Why not?

The Universe arises from relativity. We cannot know one thing without the presence of another. So in the beginning, the Everything/Nothing sub divided into parts of Everything/Nothing. Relativity was created so that experience may be had. We cannot know up without down, hot without cold, left without right etc etc.

Therefore the Everything/Nothing cannot be experienced because experience can only be had in the presence of relativity. From my perspective we can get very close to it though. To me, absolute truth is experienced as a lack of experience; what some might refer to as infinite peace or nirvana.

The point is that when ANYTHING arises into being, it is ALWAYS a distortion of absolute truth. Therefore we cannot say this is true and this is not. We can only say "from my perspective of reality this is what I experience" or words to that effect.

In your posts, you are writing as if you are the source of absolute truth and I can most definitely say you are not. Not least because some of what you have written is not my truth. If its not my truth, then it is not absolute truth even if I am the only one in the Universe who disagrees with you.

That's why in the Openhand community, we invite people to communicate with one another from their perspective. Perhaps you might like to consider this approach? I think more people would be be open to what you have to offer and look for the resonance you might generate in themselves; encouraging others to unveil a more complete version of their own truth not trying to supplant it with our own.

Just a thought!

Chris
