Powerful (bad) intentions from others

Psychic protection is a very important issue! It is not something to be taken lightly. There are many books on the topic, "Psychic Self Defense" by Dion Fortune is an excellent book, and you can also seek professional help from a practitioner or if you belong to a specific religion, you can find help there, instead. The thing you need to realize is that some people have issues, they don't feel good about themselves, etc and so they take it out on other people. Sometimes directly, other times with magic. I have a "friend" who has been causing me problems for a few years, now, I don't think she uses witchcraft, but this illustrates how spiteful people can get: If I have a friend, or a boyfriend, she steals them, she has done this 3 times. And, with a recent one, I just started a rumor that I liked him, and she went after him, In addition, she has spread rumors about me, and caused me to lose my job, where we both worked. She just sort of follows me thru life and takes everything she can, and from what I have heard, she has expressed jealousy towards me because of my beautiful relationship with my daughter. It may go deeper then that, but anyway, I have never done anything to her. People use magic against others all the time, just because you don't do anything to make people angry doesn't mean anything, they may hate you for your own reasons.

I agree with you. Probably because of my background, I tend to be cautious and a bit skeptic, but maybe it's time for some action. I have nice channels for that purpose - real trustful friends who are extremely knowledgeable and involved with spiritual practices.
I have no way of knowing and I actually don't want to worry about who can be the source of whatever dis-harmonic energies are being directed to me: I write about controversial issues. Hundreds of people read my stuff everyday. Some get angry - I receive a lot of hate mail. And as I see it, strong emotions can generate powerful intentions - bad ones... Like "unintentional magic". I won't go paranoid and think of myself as being harrassed by some great wizard - there are not many around, I guess. I tend to think this collective reaction can have its powers. Many people truly enjoy my work and feel it is helpful. Others... well, as you said, "hate me for their own reasons".
Thanks for sharing and may all protection go your way, too!

An unfortunate side effect of growth and happiness is envy. Misery loves company. And the higher you go spiritually, the bigger target you become for unhappy people. They seem to want to knock you off your high. But that's just a price I pay for my decisions, and it's worth it.

You are so right.
This is so applicable to my situation right now - I really needed to hear what you've said.
Thank you.

I wouldn't call this person a "friend" Noelle. More like a mortal enemy. Just something to think about.

Hi Mahana,

Your Taoist friends are right, you have 100% control over your energy, thoughts and feelings and you cannot intend anything for someone else. You have free will and they have free will. You can influence them but it is they who decide if they believe you or not if they want to be influenced or not.


When you "feel" afraid it is sometimes hard to convince yourself that you are safe so it is nice to seek out someone who is not afraid and they inspire you to feel safe again. But ultimately "feeling safe or feeling protected" is about you knowing you can protect yourself.

There is a lot of truth in the saying "there is nothing to fear but fear itself".


Someone can physically attack you , but when we talk of being attacked psychically, it is always your own fear attacking you. Having fearful thoughts causes your body to produce chemicals that attack your system, so it is you attacking yourself.

The best way to "feel" protected is to realise that you are Source you are powerful, you are LOVE, you are LOVED and you are LOVING. Every thing in Source is LOVE there is no negative. We have negative and positive in our physical existence, but there is no higher evil force, the only negative force is lack of love. People who say there is an evil force have just created a hole in love, they have tried to wipe out goodness and there they find darkness and sadness, and emptyness but it is not a bottomless pit, as it is all held in the hand of LOVE, and if they dig deeply enough into darkness, all that will happen is that ttheir physical body will die and then they emerge once again in the light of LOVE. We are here in the physical to experience contrasts so we can if we choose look deeply into darkness, we can choose to feel fear we can even die of fright, but we are always LOVED Most people just dip in and out of the negatives fear, sadness, disease but that just helps them appreciate all the wonderful experiences of positivity, love , happiness, joy, health, and abundance.

Your nightmare is your mind acting out what you are afraid of and it is there to remind you that you need to change your thoughts and start to feel safe and well, loved and protected again which is your natural state.

Hope this helps - Gen

Sure it does help, Gen. Your argument and advice is very sound and well articulated.
In fact, it is pretty close to what I used to believe until very recently (except the love part, what I believed is that there was nothing "out there" and no one could exert psychic influence whatsoever).
As you see, I am in doubt now.
I will meditate over your words and Noelle's and see where my mind takes me.
Anyway, thank you very much for sharing your very inspiring thoughts.

Hi...great responses and I agree with everyone somewhat. Noelle is closest to my own belief system. I am a metaphysician and psychic intuitive. Not everyone in this world is as nice and loving as we here on PI. There is such a thing as psychic attack. I ground and protect myself several times a day as I am also an empath so much of what is happening around me I absorb whether positive or negative.
Okay..so I could write pages and pages, but to make it simple I will just add after the G&P (which is essential for most psychics), I imagine a beautiful bubble of white light surrounding me and nothing can penetrate it. This requires visualization which is easy to learn. I just have anything negative directed at me bounce off the bubble and dissolve. I don't want any of the negativity to go someone else's way so this is my method. There are many others.

Basically though praying, meditating, and strength in one's self can accomplish the same IMO for many people. To me the exceptions are those that are empaths, receive spiritual messages, do readings or healings, and also those weak/meek of mind and spirit.

Everyone of us although connected in this universe experiences things differently so you ultimately have to do what is right and comfortable and works for you.

Bless you......you will find your way without a doubt.

love&light~~Joy

Great post, Joy, thank you, really.
I am familiar with some techniques and I try to produce the light bubble while doing breathing exercises (pranayama) in the morning. I must be more disciplined, though...
thanks again

First off. No one can do anything to you that at some level you don't allow. Even if it is completely unconscious. If you are around someone that is stealing your energy, at some level, you are allowing them to do that, which means at some level, you are getting something out of having them steal your energy. We never go through an experience that at some level, we don't get something out of. This is why it is very important to be unconditional with yourself, because as soon as you judge what is happening to you, you will push away the purpose and good of whatever happened.

Remember you said it yourself...
"...we all have a 100% right over our own energy, and 0% over any other person's. "

So there is no way anyone can take your energy unless you at some level agree to it. If you want to "protect yourself", become aware of any subconscious beliefs you may have that say it's OK for another person to take your energy. That way, you can choose differently.

You know, I feel in some way all of you tackle the same issues, only with slightly different perspectives. Let's say you and Joy or Noelle are not a 100% in agreement. However, come to think of it, psychic protection is a powerful symbolic tool of asserting your WILL of having full and inegotiable control over your energy - interpret is as you will.
I guess a learned one basic lesson from all of you and it leads more or less in the same direction.
Thank you all again!

There is actually a very subtle, yet powerful difference. In the first case, you stand in the unconditional responsibility of knowing that no one can take your energy unless you agree to it at some level. This position comes from a position of strength and knowledge that you ARE truly the creator. It comes from a place of being unconditionally responsible, where you CAN allow abundance into your life.

The second case where you believe you need to place psychic protection up, you are coming from a position where you are NOT the creator. That some unknown thing outside of yourself has power over you. You are not standing in the unconditional responsibility that you truly are the creator. This position comes from a place of fear, which ultimately leads to some form of loss and lack it its outcome.

If you are truly the creator, you would just create the situation where people don't steal your energy if that is your highest priority. If others are stealing your energy, then you are receiving something out of that experience because at some level, you are allowing your energy to be stolen.
