Psychic Attack Symptoms: How to Defend Against Spiritual Assault

Someone Attacking Me Psychically: Understanding Spiritual Assault

You feel like you're under attack—but not physically. You're experiencing strange symptoms, sudden negative energy, feeling drained or ill without medical cause, nightmares, or a sense that someone is targeting you energetically. You feel someone's negative energy directed at you, you're experiencing unusual bad luck, or you just know someone is sending harmful energy your way. You're left wondering: am I under psychic attack? How do I know if someone is attacking me psychically? What are the symptoms? How do I defend myself? Is this real or am I paranoid?

Psychic attack—when someone intentionally or unintentionally sends harmful energy, thoughts, or intentions toward you—is a real phenomenon that can cause physical, emotional, and spiritual symptoms. While not as common as people think (many symptoms attributed to psychic attack have other causes), genuine spiritual assault does occur and requires specific defense and protection. Understanding what psychic attack is, how to recognize it, and how to protect and defend yourself can help you stay safe and reclaim your power.

What Is Psychic Attack?

Understanding the basics:

Psychic attack means:

• Harmful energy, thoughts, or intentions directed at you
• Can be intentional (someone deliberately sending negative energy) or unintentional (someone's intense negative thoughts about you)
• Can come from living people or spiritual entities
• Affects your energy field, causing various symptoms
• Different from physical attack but can have real effects

Types of psychic attack:

• Intentional: Curses, hexes, spells, or deliberate negative energy sending
• Unintentional: Someone's jealousy, hatred, or obsessive negative thoughts about you
• Entity attack: Negative spirits or entities targeting you
• Energy vampirism: Someone draining your energy (may not be deliberate)

How to Know If It's Really Psychic Attack

Before assuming psychic attack, rule out other causes:

It might NOT be psychic attack if:

• You have medical conditions that explain symptoms
• You're under normal stress or going through difficult time
• You have mental health issues (anxiety, depression, paranoia)
• You're just having bad luck or making poor choices
• You tend to blame others for your problems

It might BE psychic attack if:

• Symptoms started suddenly after conflict with someone
• You feel specific person's energy on you
• You know someone practices magic and has reason to target you
• Symptoms improve when you protect yourself energetically
• Multiple psychics or sensitives confirm they sense attack
• You have strong intuitive knowing you're being targeted

Important: See a doctor for physical symptoms. See a therapist for mental health symptoms. Rule out mundane causes first.

Who Might Attack You Psychically?

Common sources:

• Jealous or envious people: Someone who resents your success, happiness, or gifts
• Ex-partners: Especially if breakup was bitter
• Competitors: In business, romance, or other areas
• People you've wronged: Someone seeking revenge
• Practitioners of dark magic: Someone deliberately cursing or hexing you
• Energy vampires: People who drain you (often unintentional)
• Negative entities: Spirits or beings targeting you

Often it's unintentional: Someone's intense negative thoughts about you can affect you even if they're not deliberately attacking.

How to Defend Against Psychic Attack

Step 1: Don't Panic

Fear makes you more vulnerable:

• Stay calm and centered
• Don't give the attack power through fear
• Remember you're stronger than any attack
• Fear is the attacker's weapon—don't use it against yourself

Step 2: Cut Cords

Sever energetic connections to the attacker:

• Visualize cords between you and the person
• Call on Archangel Michael to cut all cords
• See the cords being severed
• Seal both ends with light
• Return their energy to them, reclaim yours

Step 3: Shield Powerfully

Create strong energetic protection:

Shielding visualization:

• Visualize impenetrable shield around you
• Make it mirrored (reflects attack back to sender)
• Or make it absorb and transmute negative energy
• State: "I am protected. No harm can reach me. All attacks return to sender."
• Reinforce daily

Shield options:

• Mirror shield (reflects energy back)
• White light bubble (transmutes negative to positive)
• Brick wall (impenetrable barrier)
• Protective armor

Step 4: Call on Protection

Ask for spiritual help:

• Archangel Michael: "Archangel Michael, please protect me from all psychic attack and negative energy"
• Your spirit guides: Ask for protection and guidance
• Protective deities: Invoke gods/goddesses of protection
• Your higher self: Connect with your own divine power

Step 5: Return to Sender

Send the attack back:

• Visualize all negative energy returning to whoever sent it
• State: "I return all negative energy to its source, multiplied by three"
• Or: "Whatever you send to me returns to you"
• Don't send with hatred—send neutrally or with love

Why it works: Attackers often stop when they experience their own energy returned.

Step 6: Cleanse Yourself and Space

Remove attack energy:

• Salt baths (add protective herbs like rosemary, basil)
• Smoke cleansing (sage, palo santo, frankincense)
• Visualize attack energy washing off you
• Cleanse your home thoroughly
• Use cleansing crystals (selenite, black tourmaline)

Step 7: Use Protective Crystals

Carry or wear protection stones:

• Black tourmaline: Powerful protection, repels negative energy
• Black obsidian: Shields and protects
• Labradorite: Protects aura, deflects unwanted energy
• Hematite: Grounding and protective
• Amethyst: Spiritual protection

Step 8: Strengthen Your Energy

Build your power:

• Eat well, sleep well, exercise
• Practice energy work or qi gong
• Meditate to strengthen your field
• Do things that make you feel powerful and joyful
• Strong, healthy energy is harder to attack

Step 9: Don't Engage

Starve the attack of attention:

• Don't think about the attacker
• Don't engage in conflict or drama
• Don't retaliate or send energy back with hatred
• Cut all contact if possible
• Focus on your own life and wellbeing

Step 10: Seek Professional Help

If attack is severe or persistent:

• Work with experienced energy healer
• See a rootworker or hoodoo practitioner (if curse/hex)
• Consult with spiritual teacher or shaman
• Get professional curse removal or uncrossing work

Advanced Protection Techniques

Freezer Spell

To stop someone from attacking:

• Write attacker's name on paper
• Place in water in container
• Freeze it
• This "freezes" their ability to harm you

Binding Spell

To bind someone from harming you:

• Use ethically and carefully
• Bind them from causing harm, not from free will
• "I bind [name] from harming me in any way"

Mirror Box

Reflects all attacks back:

• Line small box with mirrors facing inward
• Place attacker's name/photo inside
• Seal box
• All attacks reflect back to sender

Preventing Future Attacks

Daily protection:

• Shield every morning
• Maintain strong, healthy energy
• Don't make yourself a target (don't brag, be humble)
• Avoid toxic people and drama
• Trust your intuition about people

Lifestyle:

• Live with integrity
• Don't harm others (what you send out returns)
• Maintain spiritual practice
• Stay grounded and balanced
• Keep your vibration high

When It's Not Psychic Attack

Be honest with yourself:

Consider if:

• You're going through normal difficult time
• You have anxiety or paranoia issues
• You're making poor choices and blaming others
• You're avoiding responsibility for your life
• You have a pattern of feeling victimized

Work with therapist if you frequently feel attacked but there's no evidence.

FAQs About Psychic Attack

Can someone really attack you psychically?

Yes, both intentionally (through curses, hexes, or directed negative energy) and unintentionally (through intense negative thoughts). However, it's less common than people think.

How do I know who's attacking me?

Often you'll intuitively know. It's usually someone you've had conflict with, someone jealous of you, or someone who practices magic. Trust your gut.

Can psychic attack kill you?

Extremely rare. Most attacks cause discomfort, bad luck, or illness but aren't life-threatening. Severe attacks require professional help.

What if I don't know who's attacking me?

You don't need to know. Protect yourself generally. Return to sender works even if you don't know who sender is.

Can I attack back?

You can, but it's not recommended. What you send out returns to you. Better to protect and return to sender than to attack.

The Bottom Line

Psychic attack symptoms include sudden fatigue, unexplained illness, nightmares, feeling drained, sense of being watched, and unusual bad luck. While many symptoms have other causes, genuine spiritual assault does occur from jealous people, ex-partners, practitioners of dark magic, or negative entities.

Defend yourself by cutting cords, shielding powerfully, calling on protection, returning to sender, cleansing, using protective crystals, and not engaging with the attacker. Most attacks can be stopped with proper protection and defense.

And remember: you are more powerful than any attack. Fear makes you vulnerable—stay calm, protect yourself, and reclaim your power. No one can harm you without your permission on some level.
