Psychic attack. It’s one of those terms that people throw around like it’s something straight out of a supernatural thriller. You might dismiss it at first, thinking it sounds dramatic or a bit too “out there.” But here’s the thing: psychic attacks are very real, and they can affect you in ways you wouldn’t expect. In fact, psychic self-defense is necessary for just about anyone in today’s world. People who have psychic gifts, think about people like types of psychics like empaths or those who practice witchcraft, should definitely know how to protect themselves. But you don’t need to be a full-blown witch or psychic to be vulnerable to these attacks. So, let’s take a moment to chat about why psychic self-defense isn’t just a “nice-to-have” but a must-have.
I often come across people under psychic attack when I do in-person tarot readings at our metaphysical shop, come visit. We also do online tarot readings, and can still tell when a client is under attack. Connect with us for more on Instagram, Facebook (Meta) or TikTok.
In this post, we’re not going to talk about how to defend yourself. Nope, that’s coming in future articles. Today, we’re going to explore why the need for psychic protection has become so important in the modern age. Get ready for a slightly sarcastic, but compassionate, deep dive into the necessity of shielding yourself from those unseen energetic forces. Spoiler alert: it’s not just about protecting yourself from angry witches or bad vibes. There’s more to it than that.
Let’s get one thing clear—psychic attacks aren’t just the stuff of witchcraft, New Age mysticism, or urban legends. If you think someone can’t hurt you with their thoughts or emotions, think again. Emotions and intentions are energy. We’re all vibrating at different frequencies, but when someone directs negative energy at you—whether they’re angry, jealous, or even just irritated—it can have a real impact. So, yes, psychic attacks are a real thing.
You might not see the energetic darts flying through the air, but trust me, they’re there. Whether intentional or not, when someone projects negativity at you, it sends a ripple through your aura, creating imbalance. Think about it like this: When someone glares at you or gives you the silent treatment, it doesn’t just feel uncomfortable, it’s because their energy is affecting yours. Now, magnify that to full-blown psychic aggression, and well… you get the idea. It also works in reverse, people and entities can drain you, your health and life-force.
If you’re the type who thinks, “Hey, I’m just going to put on my metaphorical armor and keep living my life,” good luck with that. Negative energy doesn’t care if you’re trying to keep your vibe high. It’s there, and without proper psychic protection, it can creep into your energy field, influence your mood, and throw off your equilibrium. And no, it’s not just the “evil eye” or some old wives’ tale—it’s the very real power of negative emotions and thoughts.
Here’s the kicker—psychic attacks don’t always look like what you think. They aren’t just some dramatic experience where you suddenly feel like you’re in the middle of a psychic war. Nope, psychic attacks often sneak up on you. One minute, you’re living your best life, and the next minute, you feel exhausted, emotionally drained, or mentally scattered. That’s not a coincidence. You might not even realize that someone’s negative energy is seeping into your space.
Imagine walking into a room full of tension, where no one’s saying anything, but you can feel the discomfort in the air. Now, apply that concept to your spiritual space. When someone is harboring bad thoughts or projecting jealousy or hatred, their energy doesn’t stay contained within them. It leaks out. The trouble is, without proper psychic self-defense, your aura might absorb that energy, leaving you feeling off-kilter.
The truth is, psychic attacks often manifest in subtle, invisible ways. The symptoms don’t scream, “I’m a psychic attack!” They’re sneaky and can masquerade as stress, anxiety, fatigue, or mood swings. But the reality is, you may be dealing with someone else’s energy that’s causing you to feel like you’re losing control. This is why learning to shield yourself from these energies is crucial. It’s not just about dealing with the obvious stuff—sometimes it’s the more covert attacks that sneak through the cracks.
When most people talk about psychic attacks, they think it’s all about their mental state—anxiety, worry, fear. But here’s the thing: psychic attacks don’t just mess with your mind. They mess with your whole being. Your energy is interconnected—mind, body, and spirit. When someone throws negativity your way, it doesn’t just mess with your thoughts—it can drain your energy, affect your health, and leave you feeling like you’re constantly fighting an uphill battle. That’s because everything is energy. And your energy, or aura, can easily be disrupted by others’ projections if you’re not careful.
This is especially true for those who practice metaphysics, witchcraft, or magic. If you work with energies regularly, your aura is more porous and susceptible to outside influences. The energy you cultivate for magic, manifestation, and spiritual work is potent, and therefore, more vulnerable to psychic interference. Think of it like a bank account—you wouldn’t leave your financial assets unguarded, so why would you leave your energetic assets unprotected?
This is also why certain types of psychics, particularly empaths, have to be even more cautious. Empaths pick up on other people’s emotional energies automatically. If they aren’t careful, they can absorb negative energies without even realizing it. And no, simply “ignoring” the attack isn’t enough to make it go away. Without appropriate psychic self-defense, empaths can easily get overwhelmed and drained by the emotional residue of others. And this is just one of many reasons why practicing psychic self-defense should be a priority.
We often think of psychic attacks as being carried out by people who are actively trying to harm us. And sure, there are some seriously negative people out there who intentionally send psychic daggers in your direction. But not all psychic attacks come from an evil witch or a vindictive foe. Often, they come from people who don’t even realize they’re doing it. It could be a friend, family member, or even a co-worker who, consciously or unconsciously, sends negative energy your way. Sometimes, it’s just someone who feels threatened by your success, or someone who’s upset and doesn’t know how to manage their emotions.
This is why you need psychic self-defense: because it’s not always the bad guy with the cauldron trying to curse you. It could be anyone around you. Whether it’s their jealous gaze or unspoken resentments, their energy can still harm your aura. This is especially true when you consider that most people don’t know how to control their emotions or intentions. Think about it—how many times have you been frustrated or upset and then unintentionally transferred that negativity to someone else? Yeah, I’ve done it, too. It happens. And when it happens to you, that’s when psychic self-defense becomes absolutely necessary.
Let’s face it: protecting your energy isn’t just about preventing psychic attacks. It’s about self-love and respect. When you practice psychic self-defense, you’re acknowledging your worth and protecting your space. You wouldn’t let someone come into your home, break your things, and make you feel unsafe. So why would you let harmful energies invade your spiritual space without doing anything to stop it?
Every time you allow yourself to stay unprotected, you’re saying that your energy doesn’t matter. But it does. Your aura, your energies, and your spiritual well-being deserve respect. Psychic self-defense isn’t just about avoiding attacks; it’s about standing in your power and setting boundaries for your energetic space. Think of it as saying, “No, thank you,” to unwanted negativity, whether it’s intentional or not. You’re worth that level of protection, and it’s your responsibility to ensure your energy stays clear and undisturbed.
Let’s wrap this up. Psychic attacks are real, they’re subtle, and they can affect you in ways you might not even realize. Whether it’s an intentional spell or just someone’s unresolved emotions, psychic energy can be dangerous to your well-being. That’s why psychic self-defense isn’t optional—it’s a necessity. Protecting your energy is an act of self-love, and it helps you stay grounded, balanced, and in control of your life.
So, if you’re reading this and thinking, “Do I really need to protect myself from psychic attacks?” The answer is yes. Yes, you do. Because no one has time for unwanted energy, bad vibes, or negative intentions. And trust me, once you start actively protecting yourself, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it.
Let’s face it: being an empath can feel like living with a superpower you didn’t ask for. It’s not all sunshine and roses when you’re constantly absorbing other people’s emotions like a sponge. Sure, it can be beautiful and healing, but also downright exhausting. If you’re one of those lucky folks with this “talent,” I’m…
