I occasionally hear from people who feel they are under “psychic attack.” I wanted to explore the idea a bit. . .
Instead of being attacked by negative forces, like entities, the feeling might be the result of highly sensitive people empathically tuning in to suffering on the planet, or a significant negative event that’s about to occur. The regular energy intensifications can also overwhelm us. We either accept the flow and try to match its frequency, or we resist it and try to maintain an old, familiar reality. Then it can disrupt us by shaking things up, like flood waters roiling behind a dam. It’s hard to sense the cause.
The intensifying energy waves tend to roto-rooter out anything in their way—basically, physical, emotional, and mental contractions and holding patterns, which could be chronic pain, fear beliefs, old unconscious “overlays” from others, or inflexible ideas like fixed world views. It’s not uncommon to experience dislodged emotion like an unexplained crying jag, or to hit snags and confusion, disillusionment, and disorientation. The old patterns aren’t working anymore and when you try to make them work, they fall apart, or have no meaning. This could be misinterpreted as psychic attack by inimical beings.
To interpret something as a psychic attack can show something about what’s going on unconsciously in a person’s subconscious mind:
1. They may unconsciously think they’re important enough to draw attention from negative beings.
2. They may believe there’s a “fight” between light and dark.
3. They may believe they can be punished for being good, or for being themselves.
4. They may believe they’re basically separate from the outer world; that the outside world is bigger and more powerful than they are; that it can bedangerous to them.
5. They may believe the dark is more powerful than the light.
6. They may have placed a value on martyrdom and self-sacrifice.
I think it’s possible for people who do not experience the fullness of their own self to be “possessed” — perhaps “dominated” or “hounded” is a better way to say it — by discarnate beings who themselves are caught in a lack of sense of self.
Of course, people IN bodies become dominators and victims to each other as well. If you don’t occupy your own space fully, other people come and push on you, perhaps to get a rise out of you, to see where you actually are.
Or, people who want the outside world to behave the way they’ve decided it should be, who want others to agree with their world view, will sense the lack of presence in others and immediately flow into the space and occupy it FOR the other person to try to control reality through dominance. If this happens it’s easy to feel you’re living in the other’s reality instead of your own. That’s when you hear the advice: “Get a life!”
When you occupy yourself fully, you won’t experience domination, possession, or undue influence from others. Positive energy doesn’t attract negative energy unless you position yourself within a polarity.
