They don't call psychics "wounded healers"for nothing. Often their talents are a compensatingmechanism that has helped them sustain enormousamounts of physical, spiritual and emotional damage.

today were originally the brainchild of Dion Fortune.Dion Fortune is the magical name of Violet MaryFirth, a British occultist and author whose adventuresrepelling astral attack are detailed in her book PsychicSelf-Defense (1930).

Anyone dealing with an attack from a seriousgroup of heavies in a coven should read Fortune'sPsychic Self-Defense as it describes in detail how sheused white light rituals to escape punishment fromthe group mind.

As a result of her experience with psychic attackFortune concluded that hostile psychic energy canemanate both deliberately and unwittingly fromcertain people and that one can mentally fend offsuch energy. Her work Psychic Self-Defense is stillregarded as the best guide in the world to detectionand defence against psychic attack.

itual ailment is not what one could call a pure science.To make matters even more complex, an ailing spiritis often associated with an ailing body, leading one toask, "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" Aweakened physical body is sometimes more vulnerableto psychic invasion simply because one's electro-magnetic force field known as the aura is low. On theother hand, a mind that is poisoned with toxicthoughts often creates stressful chemicals and hor-mones in the body that further weaken the aura andleave the individual open to psychic attack.

There are also many levels of psychic invasionvarying in severity from psychic invasion to psychicattachment to outright astral attack.

Many of the psychic defence rituals that are practiced

with the intention of directly separating you fromyour Higher Self or faith.

Unfortunately, the diagnosis of psychic aggressionis a purely subjective. A vote between you and thehealer, Reiki worker, channeler, psychic, medium orpriest that is consulted to get to the root of the problemdecides it. To make things worse, the psychic businessis riddled with quacks and poseurs who are more thanwilling to hook you into a program of psychic healingfor a few bucks. In fact, I would strongly advise you toavoid any reader, psychic or healer that offers you anunsolicited judgment or statement about your aura asthat is a common "sales hook" used to draw you in formore services. Anyone who approaches you and tellsyou that you have a damaged aura, need to reconnectwith God or need spiritual fine tuning is in fact,actually practicing a form of astral attack on you. Itwould be classified as implanting a negative thoughtform, creating the kind of insecurity and fear that couldmanifest their unwanted diagnosis into your reality.

Whether you decide to consult a professional ornot, it is important for you to remember that ulti-mately you are in charge of your reality, what youbelieve and think, and your spiritual accountabilitybefore God. If it is any comfort, the human aura, likethe human body, tends to want to heal rather thandestroy itself and most of us have the capability ofhealing ourselves by looking within and cleaning upour own internal landscapes. Just as "you are whatyou eat," you are also what you think. If you thinkyou are powerless over astral events in your life, thenyou will be. If you think only the local shaman has thepower to cure you of your ailment, then that willprobably come true. You do not necessarily need a

third party to clear you of an astral invasion or anattachment. The most that a healer or lightworkercan do is try to show you a way out of the darkness.The actual light is within you, not from an externalsource. A strong belief in this concept is grandly lifeaffirming and helps you strengthen your aura on thespot.

Historically, there are some tools that have beenused to diagnose invasions, attachments and attacks.The most popular one is the pendulum. A pendulumis a chain or rope with a gemstone or cone-shapedpiece of metal dangling from the end. The pendulumis passed over the patient's body to look for disturbedenergy centers that might be the place of origin of theattack. Traditionally, if the pendulum swings in acounter-clockwise circle as opposed to a clockwisecircle then there is a weakness in the energy field inthat spot.

Ceromancy, the art of reading candle drippings,can be used in these kinds of diagnoses. Usually thecandle is lit and dripped into a vessel of ordinary orHoly Water. Then the diviner reads the drippings. Acandle, representing the person being diagnosed, mayalso be lit. Depending on how fast or slow the candleburns, how short or tall the flame is, and which waythe smoke blows, a diagnosis is made about howmuch psychic pressure from external or internalsources is afflicting the victim.

Some Reiki or lightworkers may also use psy-chometry. Stones or crystals are placed on thepatient's body and examined later for clarity andtemperature to see if the person's energy field isfogged or weak. A Reiki master may also sense whatis going on simply by passing his hands through your

energy field. Other individuals may be able to see theobstruction in your aura and remove it using an

(a ritual knife), their hands or minds.Kirlian or electromagnetic photography can also

be used to take a Polaroid or photograph of youraura. I have found this modern technology to be themost efficient and practical way to diagnose an aurathat is being pulled at or interfered with by another.Spirits in this kind of photography often show up asballs or clusters of light. Attachments or invasions canlook like dark spots or pale patches. A healthy aura

shows a thin membrane around its bubble of light. Indamaged people this membrane is often broken andsometimes even non-existent. Much can be told alsoby the aura's shape. If it is too conical and tall, it mayindicate an attack on the crown chakra. Auras that aretoo flat, truncated, shifted to one side or missing thesymmetry that is associated with a healthy ethericshield are also indications of invasion, damage orastral attack.

Mostly, however, astral attack is largely diagnosedby its symptoms, whether that attack originates froman inner or outside source.

Migraines:

Physical Symptoms

Below is a description of some of the most commonlyreported physical symptoms that can arise as a resultof astral attack.

The veil between you and the outerrealms could indeed be thin if you find yourself suf-fering from repeated migraines. Migraines are a kindof electromagnetic disorder that affects all of themajor perception centers. Migraine symptomsinclude loss of vision, an altered sense of smell andincreased sensitivity in hearing. In turn, thesesymptoms could be caused by an external attack froma toxic thought form sent to you and meant to poisonyour aura. Also, the shutting down of the sensesassociated with migraines could be described as oneof the Seven Circles of Hell. For instance, if anattacker is using a clay doll, it could be covered in anynumber of vile substances with the intent of blindingyou or forcing you to smell a singular smell all day.This could be the result of candle burning, voodoo-doll work or vile visualizations. Your body may betrying to deprive itself of its senses and force you tolook inside your internal landscape to detect thesource of the problem.

Occipital Headaches: These occur at the back of theneck. People who are under astral attack tend to beunder a lot of stress. Many who visualize astral attackoften picture the person being bludgeoned on theback of the head. Banging the victim's head against awall is also a common fantasy.

Eggs are a classic remedy for the Evil Eye.

They say that you are most vulnerable to psychic attack when you are wet, as water is a conductor of psychic energy.

Temporal Headaches: These are sharp pains thatoccur around the temples as a result of someonevisualizing your head in some kind of vise. They mayalso be manipulating a doll with pins or nails toachieve the same effect.

Sinus Headaches: These can be the result of dollwork, where the facsimile of you is being sprinkled orburied in some kind substance. Witches use every-thing from coffee grounds to kitty litter for thesepurposes. Sinus headaches can also be the result ofemotional transfer, as sinus trouble typically representsunshed tears. If you have caused someone a lot ofgrief, they may be sending you their unshed tears—"now you feel what I feel." Sinus problems are also analert that you may be dealing with a focused attackfrom a group of people.

Third Eye Headaches:psychics and healers, and usually feels like a mildfuzzy pressure in the center of the forehead betweenthe eyebrows. This can occur when one is trying tochannel you with either a positive or negative message.Third Eye attacks are also common with assaultsfrom a group mind associated with a religious group.

Jaw Pains: One of the most common statementsmade mentally about an absent individual is "I wishthey would shut up." Certain malicious rituals andspells also involve the binding of the jaw in order tosilence an individual.

Visual Disturbances: Distortions of vision are usuallycaused by shifts in brain chemicals that force you tosee wide angles or zigzags of light. Astrally, this iscommonly caused by a spirit invasion. This is some-thing that a channeler or medium is more likely toexperience than a non-practitioner.

Changes in Smell or Taste: An entity is usuallyresponsible for this kind of symptom although some-one playing with a voodoo doll can also trigger it.

If someone isimagining you drowning, you could suffer from asthma.There is also an entire set of rituals that involvesmothering an individual by placing his or her imagein a jar and corking it.

your gut feelings. Stomach cramps can occur whenan obsessed individual is trying to put a hook intoyour third chakra to connect you to them againstyour will.

An upset stomach is associated with allforms of psychic aggression.

People who are being overwhelmed bynegative vibrations or soaking up too much astralinformation from others tend to suffer from this ail-ment. It is an emergency signal that the aura is tryingto cleanse itself.Arthritis, Rheumatism or Restricted Movement: Bothbinding spells and freezer spells can cause an individ-ual to become "paralyzed" and experience less mobility.A person may be trying to stop you from what you aredoing or freeze you in your tracks.

Impotence or Lack of Sex Drive: A sudden inabilityto "get it up" is the aim of many spells that intend toseparate you from a loved one. This is usually doneusing candles, binding, freezer magic and themanipulation of photographs.

Perhaps the most succinct way to describe the emo-tional effect of astral attack is having emotions thatyou don't feel belong to you. For instance, you mayspend all day feeling angry, when what is going on inyour life does not support your anger. You may feelinexplicably sad, aroused, anxious, elated, happy oreven maniacal. Most people who experience thissense whom the emotion is coming from and usuallytheir first instinct is a big clue. This phenomenaoccurs mostly in codependent relationships, wheretwo individuals are overattached at the solar plexus orlevel of the third chakra. Experiencing this kind ofphenomena means you have a true astral parasite onyour hands. Almost always, this kind of attachmentcomes from someone who is living and has a historyof upsetting your life. Alcoholics, manic-depressivesand people with personality disorders are especiallyadept at this kind of astral invasion. Usually the objectof the attack is an empathetic sort, and the invasion isnot always intentional. Such forms of invasion arealso common among parents and children.

Another effect of astral invasion or attack can be aloss of feeling towards those that you normally havefeelings for. This could be the result of a bindingspell, a freezer spell, or one of the thousands ofBreak-'Em-Up Spells that are out there in the publicdomain.

Generally, the loss of emotional control is thoughtto be a symptom of all forms of astral invasion. It is a

natural reaction to a disturbance in your aura. Forinstance, if you are in possession of an object thatmakes you feel great sadness, perhaps it is time to getrid of that object. If thinking about a specific individualmakes you angry, stop thinking about that person.More than 90% of the battle against astral attack isdetaching one's self from emotionally charged situa-tions, bad memories and anticipation of a drama. On anastral level, emotions tend to charge otherwise dormantsituations or events. Also emotions lower your overallvibrations to their basest levels. According to theprinciple of "like attracts like," if you are demon-strating a lot of anger and grief you will probablyattract situations and people who are similarly affectedto you. Similar energy forms tend to aggregate ingroups or clusters. The same is true of spirits. One

way to resist this kind of effect is to not make yourselfor your home a comfortable place for negative energyto take up permanent residence. Like most predators,if the spirit or thought form has nothing to feed offof, it will either starve to death or leave.

field.

Psychological DisturbancesAnxiety is perhaps the most common psychologicalsymptom associated with astral attack or invasion andis usually the result of a disturbed electromagnetic

Common types of anxiety that people experiencewhile under astral attack are:• The feeling that if they don't act on something rightaway that the world will end.• An obsession with an object or a situation to theexclusion of all other thoughts.• A sudden compulsion to go about one's daily affairsin a ritualistic or compulsive way.• Attacks of panic or hysteria.• Fear of the unknown, fear of known places orthings, fear that one might not be able to handle whatis to come in the immediate future, and fear that onemight hurt others or oneself,

A ritual or violent thought form sent to you fromother people can trigger these kinds of disorders. Forinstance, if someone has given you a car as a gift, andis uncertain about your ability to care for it, youmight find yourself obsessed with the car. Or some-one may be sending you a thought form in the shapeof a monster or animal that you might be sensing as athreat. In certain Wiccan rituals, words are loadedwith emotion and you might be picking up on thedrama associated with that—these rituals aredesigned to cause anxiety. Other kinds of visualiza-tions and rituals act like Chinese water torture andare designed to slowly but surely beat down yourdefences by creating consistently irritating situations.Also common are candle spells, where a spirit issummoned to give you no rest or no peace until youbehave as desired by the magician.

Certain kinds of poppet magic can cause quirkyeffects in its targets including clumsiness, speechdisorders, general disorientation, confusion and thedesire to act out. For example, you might find yourself

walking along the street, talking angrily to someonewho isn't there. When an angry or jealous spiritpossesses you, you might find yourself feeling thoseemotions more or displaying uncharacteristic behavior.Those under the influence of a badly done love or lustritual could suddenly become unusually promiscuous.

The humorous thing I have noticed about love, lustand "come to me" spells is that usually the receiver ofthe ritual does not tend to become lusty towards thesender of the spell.

An inability to concentrate on anything could alsoindicate astral interference from another person. Theperson who is upset with you and targeting you,whether they are using thought forms or ritual magic,is usually agitated at the time. It is quite easy for youto pick up on that agitation and be too flustered to goabout your daily work.

Developing an unreasonable fear of water andavoiding baths or showers is also a symptom of astralattack. Water is a conductor of psychic energy andyour gut instincts are telling you that you are morevulnerable when you are wet.

Also common in cases of astral attack or invasionis the feeling that there is a knot in your stomach orthroat. Usually this effects the person's breathing andspeech patterns. I often hear this in client's voices whenthey speak to me indicating that they have been blockedin the third (stomach) and fourth (throat) chakras. Inthis case usually the culprit is a living, mentally illperson who has astral hooks in the client and isenjoying a consistent feeding of emotional energy.

Feelings of depression, low self-esteem andfatigue can also be blamed on astral attack. This isusually due to a leak in your aura. Many people createa hole in their own aura in the hopes that it will allowan inaccessible individual in their life to reach themeasier on the astral plane. It is important to make surethat it is not YOU who is attacking due to a neuroticneed to substitute a real relationship with a spiritualone or a desire to draw someone closer to you.

Astral attackers function by draining your energywhich in turn causes irritation, fatigue and insomnia.Some people experience terrible feelings of restless-ness and longing, or suffer from compulsive behaviorsand thoughts. Often these symptoms are the result ofan astral leeching, which visually can be described as

hose with a sucker on the end embedded in your solarplexus. In this situation, you can become nothingmore than a living battery for other individuals whohave deemed it necessary to empower themselves bytaking from you.

Sometimes a dream is just a dream, but there arecertain structures to dream imagery that can indicatean astral attack:

Dreams that feature out-of-body experiences.This can be the result of an attack by a group mindwho together, know how to lift your soul from yourphysical self and replace it, altered, back in your body.

Dreams where you find yourself humiliated orconfronted by groups or a round table of people. Thisis also indicative of a group attack.

Dreams where you find yourself continuallysearching through malls and rooms for one person.This is one of those dreams that means the opposite.The person is with you, but your subconscious recog-nizes that the actual love in the relationship is missing.

Dreams where someone is kissing you or trying tosuck your breath. This is a typical invasive dream sentby someone who is suffering from unrequited lovefor you.

Dreams that involve a great deal of water. Watersymbolically represents psychic energy. Dreams thatfeature breaking dams or leaks may symbolize a leakcaused by an attack on your aura.

Dreams in which you are being threatened andchased by monsters or animals. In most schools ofmagic, mediums are taught to create thought formsor guardian animals that can invade the subconscious.

Dreams involving weapons or appliance thatdirects a substance at your face. Many people usetools in their visualizations to direct bad energy at you.

Dreams of being smothered, drowned, frozen orasphyxiated. There are many spells and rituals outthere that contain this kind of component that couldbe picked up by your subconscious.

Dreams where you are shown objects like note-books, billboards or movies. Usually these artificesfor storytelling represent a mechanism in magicwhere you are being sent a message.

Dreams where you are telephoned, but you pickup the phone and nobody is there. Usually, in a healthydream, you receive a message. The lack of voice on theother line represents the secrecy around most rituals.

The purpose of an astral attack is to destroy thecontainer of the personality so that it eventuallycracks. In severe cases, astral attack can cause compul-sive, morbid thoughts, disassociation from reality andhallucinations.

Spiritual SymptomsBelieve it or not, an increased interest in spiritualthings, the New Age Movement, religion and theoccult can represent a psyche that is suffering fromastral attack.

When you are being drained by an astral attackyou may feel the need or compulsion to heal your-self or supplement your energy by seeking a healer,

channeler, guru or religious group. The very idea thatyou need this extra support may imply that yourspiritual vessel is somehow leaking or been emptied.Although such support can be helpful, it can, ironically,also betray a deep lack of faith, not only in oneself butalso in the goodness of whatever power is up there.Ironically, most people who are seeking spiritualguidance are actually fighting what they believe Godor a Higher Power has in store for with them. It is aform of resistance to being on the "right" spiritualpath.

One important symptom of astral attack is thediminution of the ability to distinguish between goodand evil. Long-term victims of repeated astral attacksoften suffer a kind of moral malaise. They also fre-quently express a lack of faith in a Higher Power andin goodness. They will insist this is the product oflogic, when this kind of existentialism is the result ofspiritual fatigue because of third-party interference.The intent of most astral attack is to separate us fromour will and our faith. It leads us to put our trust ingroovy gurus and false prophets. Even if the guru orprophet is genuine, we cause damage to ourselves byfailing to recognize that the vessel for the spirit isseparate from the vessel itself.

Another spiritually related symptom of astralinvasion is an increased attention to what I would call

omens or signs. Sometimes this phenomenon is just astage of the grieving process. A typical scenario is awoman left by her lover for another, who keepsthinking that she is receiving astral messages fromhim in the form of coincidences—the constant playingof a favorite song, seeing people who resemble him orhave his name and other synchronistic encounters.This psychological glitch keeps the griever in denialof what really happened because she is not emotionallyready to accept the reality of it. On the other hand, apersistence of this land of coincidence can meanastral attack especially if the messages seem malevo-lent. Often too, when a person deliberately weakenshis aura in the hopes that it will bring him nearer to alost dear one, other entities and thought forms attachthemselves to the person, compelling him to moreobsessive behavior. The absent person becomes likeGod—if the color blue was God, you would see blueeverywhere. The same is for the object of obsession.You have let this person become your God.

Healthy individuals with healthy auras are notsuperstitious. They vibrate at a level of faith that is sohigh, not even witchcraft can harm them.

Situational SymptomsIf you experience any of the following situationalsymptoms you may be under astral attack:

Constantly Losing Objects: This could be the resultof someone wishing loss on you on a consistent basisor you may be the victim of a ritual that was designedto disorient and confuse you.Always Missing the Goal: People under astral attack

usually find themselves working hard, yet constantlyconfronting obstacle after obstacle. Success is oftenright within reach and then snatched from grasp.This frustration is also a punishment built into manyrituals and spells.

Loss of Prosperity, Health and Family. Many spellsare done exactly to achieve that intention.

Monkey on Your Back: Victims of curses may findthemselves confronting a long-term difficult prob-lem—such as an ongoing court case or unsolvablehealth or financial problem.

Reason:

with no explanation. This is a form of evil-eyetransference. Sometimes a ritual has been performedto cause others to find you repulsive. In other cases itis the result of an implant or energy transference toyour aura that other people's instincts interpret as"negative energy." However, it is not really yourenergy. It is an astral implant that has been sent toyou from somewhere else.

This is an effect that causes others toimmediately mirror your actions back to you in anunpleasant fashion. For instance if you comment on aperson being overweight, five minutes later, someonecomments on your weight. Some rituals are designedto accelerate your karma and create psychic pressureto make you feel lonely or like you need to get helpfrom the attacker.

Attracting Accidents and Violent Situations:repeated series of accidents or violence can be evi-dence of a ritual done by an individual or coven thatis wishing you harm. Auras that have been weakenedby consistent astral attack also tend to invite a multiplenumber of astral attacks from other sources. As I havementioned before, there are many people doingwitchcraft who are not trained in the art. As a result,their misfires hit innocent people. A person walkingaround with a weak, leaky or damaged aura becomesa sitting duck for these stray energies on the astralplane.

Environmental SymptomsSome places just have "bad vibes." Most people candetect these bad vibes and use words to describethem like "heavy," "tiring," "exhausting," "dead" or"draining." Sometimes this is because the place isactually inhabited by entities or spirits that feed off ofhuman energy fields. Other times it is the result of anastral imprint left by an extremely dramatic and neg-ative situation that took place there, such as a murderor a rape. These kind of energies are also felt on thesites of old graveyards and places where wars havebeen fought and bodies left unburied after slaughter.In natural locations, these vibes can be attributed tothe lingering spirit of a ritual done by a group.

In terms of Feng Shui, the ancient art of ChineseObject Placement, astral stress can be caused by thefollowing factors:• A front door facing a road with oncoming traffic.• A front door facing a church, graveyard or otherplace of religious worship.• A view that is dwarfed by a large building.

All of these factors prevent the easy flow of lifeenergy through your home and affect the auraadversely. There is a huge relationship between thehealth of the aura and the art of Feng Shui. I do nothave the space to elaborate on it here, but if you dofeel that you are under astral attack, the use of foun-tains, mirrors, trees, fences and wind chimes cansubstantially lower your odds of suffering geopathicstress in urban areas. Bad energy likes to conglomeratein the dark alleys of our urban areas just as much ascriminals do.

The following are the most common environ-mental symptoms of astral attack:

Constant Dysfunctionality: Chaos reigns. No matterhow much you try to maintain order, the place con-stantly slides into a state of decay. Appliances,plumbing and other matters have to constantly beserviced or maintainenced. This could be the result ofspirits playing tricks on you or the result of a ritualattack that has ordered the disintegration of youraffairs.

Weird Odors and Smells: This can be an indicationthat your house is possessed by a foul spirit that wasalready there or that a spirit has been sent to you bya practitioner. It is also a sign of a weakened aura.

Problems with Electricity or Batteries: Some spiritsand entities seem to feed off of electrical energy.Flickering lights, electrical shocks, appliances thatturn on by themselves and batteries that die beforetheir time are all symptoms of astral attack.

Stopped Time Pieces: Spirits from other realms existon a plane where there is no time. In some hauntedhouses, it is almost impossible to run a clock thatkeeps correct time.

Unusual Light: Some spirits or astral imprintsrepresent themselves by a glow or an astral shaft orlight that appears out of nowhere.

Poltergeist Activity: Objects that move by them-selves, mysterious bumping and moaning in the night

and everything else you've seen in horror movies fallsinto this category. These could be the spirits of formerresidents that have been sent to you via a ritual.Poltergeist activity can also be blamed on an aura thathas been weakened by trauma, negativity, envy andresentment. Poltergeists like to feed on negativeenergy emitting from humans. Therefore, if you sufferfrom jealousy, you are likely to attract a jealous spirit.Psychics or healers that have become overstressedfrom work may also be releasing negativity thatmanifests in the form of poltergeist activity.

Identifying the Attacker

Thought Forms: Thought forms tend to affect ourlives on a more mundane level. That is because theytend to be sent by ordinary people. We may experiencemore day-to-day and practical frustrations. This kindof attack is usually from someone you know, withwhom you've had an unpleasant encounter with.

The Subconscious Curse: This kind of curse usuallycomes from someone you know quite well and caresfor you. They may even be praying for your well-being. A good example of this is the individual whoprays for the person with AIDS to have an "improvedimmune system" when the disease itself is an overkillof immunity.

The Self-Fulfilling Prophecy Attack: This kind ofastral attack is often stated verbally in the form of anegative affirmation like "You'll never make your rentunless you get a job," "There's no way you can writethat book in two weeks" and "Your aunt had diabetesso you will probably get it too." Words like this havea powerful effect on our subconscious mind which, inturn, sets to programming the conscious mind towrite a disaster script for ourselves.

Unsolicited Criticism and Verbal Abuse: This mightseem obvious, but this is a form of direct astral attack.The Unconeious Mind is influenced by cruel words.Because they hurt we often repeat them over and overin our minds. When we do this we are subconsciouslycursing ourselves with another person's words.

The Collective Wish for Failure: The more success-ful you are, the more you attract envy and jealousy,and therefore the ravages of the evil eye. There are

many people out there who will happily congratulateyou on your success and then go home and secretlywish that you would fail for once. This can be powerfulif you find yourself at the mercy of a large group ofpeople who are all wishing, simultaneously, for yourdemise.

The Psychic Vampire: If you feel exhausted, fatiguedor drained just by encountering a person, thenchances are that person is adept at hooking into yourthird chakra and sucking your energy.

If this person is always on your mind than it ispossible that you have become engaged in an energyexchange with someone trying to dominate or bendyour will to their way.

Live Hauntings: These astral attacks tend to takethe form of obsession and the object of obsession isusually a lover. When healthy relationships termi-nate, those involved are still left feeling whole. Livehauntings don't usually occur unless the real-liferelationship was vampire-like and codependent in thefirst place. The most likely suspects for this kind ofhaunting are addicts, alcoholics, manic-depressivesand people with personality disorders because theirauras are in a weakened state. Although there mayhave been genuine love at one time, with one partnernurturing and taking care of the other, these relation-ships often degenerate into power and ego struggles.Long after the person is gone, the person left behindoften still feels addicted to that person. Or they feelthat their presence is reflected in omens, coincidencesand synchronicities that occur in their lives. If you arecompletely obsessed with an individual—if you see orfeel their presence everywhere, you are most likelythe victim of a live haunting.

Amateur Shamans and Witch lets: Sometimes youdeliberately cross such people, other times they seethemselves as agents of karma, and sometimes youdon't know them at all. People playing with magicare a growing problem in terms of astral pollutionon our planet. They are influenced by televisionshows, movies and the availability of spell books onthe market.

These individuals are generally quite harmless,but they can cause havoc in one's life on the mundane

level. If you have known no enemies in your life, arereasonably free of envy, resentment and fear and yetstill cannot figure out where your haunting is comingfrom, it is probably the result of a thought formproduced by an amateur shaman or witchlet. Theseattacks are not intentional, they are just the productsof bad aim, unfinished rituals or lack of magicalprotocol in general.

Cults, Gurus and Group Mind: If you feel irresistiblycompelled, beyond all rational reasoning, to join acult, coven or religious organization, you may not benecessarily following your heart, you may be underastral attack.

Spirit Attack & Psychic AttacksPsychic Self-Defence *

Curses:

Cults work by downloading information into yourcrown chakra. Victims often feel inferior, unholy orlonely if they do not join the cult. To determinewhether you are under astral attack from a groupmind, use this simple test—stay away from them for afew days. If you surfer extreme malfortune, then theyare probably practicing some form of binding on youto keep you with them.

Also, if you are experiencing a run of bad luck, it ispossible that the group has stolen your guardian spiritsand are holding them hostage, so that you feel unpro-tected in any situation that does not include them.

Astral Imprints: An astral imprint is a bad memorythat won't go away, but the memory is not necessarilyyours. Astral imprints are left by people, dead or alive,in buildings or environments (like a graveyard).Living individuals can also leave their astral imprinton objects that they have touched or used during thetime that you knew them. Antiques often hold theastral imprints of former owners. If you find yourselfobsessed with an object or feel disturbed or upsetwhile holding it then you are most likely dealing withan astral imprint.

If you find yourself living out the samekarma again and again, or find that a tragic pattern ofloss, illness or misfortune is often repeated in yourfamily then you might have been ritually cursed atone time. Curses have a way of playing themselvesout in an ironic pattern that the bearers find almostunfathomable in terms of its coincidence. A goodexample would be a family in which all of the fathershave died on the same date for three generations.

Repatterning for Failure: This form of astral attackis often the result of being involved in a cult or religiousorganization that has repeatedly told you that if youdo not do follow certain rules, you will most certainlybe punished. Often these slogans are implanted in thecrown chakra which is open during periods when thegroup prays or meditates together. This is the equiv-alent of implanting an astral hologram in someone'sconsciousness that plays itself out the same way everytime the individual attempts to resist the group'swishes.

Attacks by Spirits or Demons: If you are experiencingphysical symptoms accompanied by poltergeist activitythen it is possible that you are the victim of an indi-vidual or group who has summoned a spirit to persecuteyou until you bend to their will.

Attacks by Ghosts: This attack is usually accompaniedby physical symptoms, most notably stomach cramps.As well, you might experience mysterious noises,poltergeists and actual ghost sightings.

The Path of Least ResistanceThe visualizations, prayers and other solutions in thissection fall into the category of meditation or whitemagic and should be your first line of defence beforeyou resort to the heavier stuff in the following chapter.They do the least damage to your karma and followChristian and Buddhist principles of non-resistance.

The Bubble of White LightThe best way to prevent an astral attack or minimizeits effects is to maintain a healthy aura. The simplestmeditation you can use is the Bubble of White LightMeditation, which rinses your aura of negative energyand is effective against all forms of astral attack.

Relax. You can do this sitting, standing or lyingdown as long as you are completely relaxed. Breathefrom your solar plexus—long, slow deep breaths.Now imagine yourself surrounded in a bubble thatextends around your body in about three feet in alldirections. Sense this bubble around your body. Is

there anyplace where you sense a hole, leak or rip inthe bubble? If so imagine yourself patching, sealingor fixing the hole. Each time that you breathe inimagine this bubble filling with a bright white light.With each breath the light becomes whiter andbrighter. Do this for three minutes or more until youfeel your body surrounded by this blaze of light. Thislight is blinding and obscures others from finding youwithin its depth. Now imagine that a membranecovers this bubble, somewhat like you would see on a

Cutting the Cord MeditationThis classic ritual is a good way to sever yourselffrom a psychic vampire or entity that you may feel isleeching energy from you. Sometimes, after a rela-tionship has ended, many of us have problems lettinggo. Many of my clients complain of feeling hauntedor even possessed by a dearly departed (who probablyisn't even thinking of you and is busy with his or hernew partner). It's like the person has left an indelibleimprint upon your heart and you feel you can't go onunless the ex returns. The energy of the ex might bemanifesting itself in all sorts of ways—in what youperceive as omens or reminders that occur in every-day life (such as a phrase or song lyric) or even as avisitor in your dreams.

There are all kinds of cures for this phenomenon(everything from burning bundles of sage to clear theroom of the ex's vibe to throwing out every singlereminder of him or her, including the bed). Yet beforeyou ditch the Sealy Posturepedic, I suggest you trythis little exercise called "Cutting the Cord."

The idea behind this is that whenever we connectto someone we connect to him or her at the point ofour solar plexus, the area just below your diaphragm.When we first meet someone and fall in love, wespend a lot of time building up this energy whichlightworkers say looks like a rope of light connecting

pears, the rope can still remain. Often, the person

a psychic vampire gleefully sucking back the energythat the dumped person is sending out. It doesn'tmatter if you are sending bad thoughts or resentment.To him or her, that energy is often translated in thepurest form of astral energy, and used to transmuteand feed the new relationship. Thus, in order toprevent yourself being sucked dry by the psychicvampire, I suggest you try this: Lie down on the bed,breathe deeply and become as relaxed as you can.Now picture the other person and the cord of lightthat you created when you thought the both of youwould be connected for all eternity. Visualize thatcord as best you can and examine it.

How thick is it? What color is it? What is it madeof? Now choose your weapon. What will you use tocut this cord? Do you need a knife or is the connectionso strong that it can be broken only by hacking at itwith a machete? If a machete doesn't work, try a buzzsaw. My favorite weapon is a huge pair of goldenscissors. Now, in your mind's eye, snip, hack, chop,sever...do whatever you have to do to cut the cord.Picture the other person floating away from you likea helium balloon let loose in the sky...and smile andwave "bye-bye!" Oddly, one of the side benefits tothis ritual is that the other person senses thedetachment. Like a villain returning to the scene ofthe crime, the vampire will return to see where theirsource of energy has gone. So not only does thisexercise your astral health, but it often brings the exback. That is, if you want them back at all.

who is left behind spends a lot of time fortifying thatrope with his or her own psychic energy in an attemptto bring the person back. The ex can be compared to

The Love Blast MeditationBelieve it or not, you don't always have to fight firewith fire. You can put out a fire with water. The astralequivalent of water is love. It involves visualizing theattacker. If you don't know who it is, you can still askfor loving energy to be sent to the right target. Thismeditation is good for almost all forms of astral attackthat you feel originates from a person—living ordead. It could be an ancestor of yours that harmedyou as a child, an overly critical boss, an ex-lover or aspell caster. This one usually throws them for a quitea loop without harming them.

Lie down flat on your back. Close your eyes andcross your hands over your heart. Breathe deeply.

Now imagine there is a pinpoint of light right atyour solar plexus. Keep breathing in until this pinpointof light swells to the size of a glowing yellow star.

Now each time you take a breath, imagine thisglowing yellow star sending a stream of energy toanother pinpoint of light. This light is in your heart.Right now it is enclosed inside the bud of a flower.Each time you take a breath imagine the petals of thisflower unfolding to disclose a rose-colored gem inthe center.

Imagine this rose-colored light glowing brighterwith each breath. As you breathe in, it emanates awarm pink glow about three feet around your body.For further protection, visualize the entire room youare in filled with this brilliant, rosy pink light. If youconcentrate hard enough, you can project this pinklight to encompass a whole city block. Project it as faras you can. Surround yourself, your room and yourhouse with this bubble of pink light.

Now visualize the person you suspect of attackingyou standing before you. What kind of look does theperson have? Is he frowning or scowling? Changethat look to a soft smile. Change it to a broad smile.Change it to a look that means that he or she is over-joyed to see you.

Scan the person's body with your imagination.Find the heart.

Now breathing deeply, concentrate on sendinghim a ray of soft, rose-colored light. Send it directlyto the heart, for as long as you can.

When you feel an inner click inside, stop sendingthe light.

Now smile at the person and wave goodbye. Say"Bless You" in your mind. Tell her you wish her allthe happiness she deserves. Visualize the personturning away from you and waving goodbye.

Focus now on your own heart. Concentrate onthe petals of the flower. Picture this flower closingover the gem in your heart's center.

Now as you breathe in, concentrate once again onthe light in your solar plexus. Imagine this lightspreading through your entire body and filling it withgold.

When you are satisfied that your body is filled withgold, say the words "Peace Be Still" and open your eyes.

The Soul-to-Soul TalkThis meditation involves having a heart-to-heart talkwith another individual's soul. If a person is filled withhate, resentment, fear or envy or has a dysfunctionalpersonality, sometimes it is easy for you to talk to hisor her Higher Self rather than to talk in person. TheHigher Self is devoid of the same characteristics thatthe personality has, yet it has a subtle influence on thepersonality. Using this meditation may manifest asudden change of behavior on the part of the otherperson with regards to you. It is useful for all formsof attack.

Lie down your flat on your back. Breathe and relax.Imagine a bright ball of light about three feet

above your head. You can actually imagine a beingthat looks somewhat like you. This is your HigherSelf or soul. This is a benevolent, compassionateversion of yourself. This is the self that lives in aperfect world. Greet your Higher Self. Imagine yourHigher Self smiling and sending you love.

Now imagine another light. This one is hundredsof feet above you. It looks like a burning ballaflame...a small shining sun. It is the purest, whitestlight imaginable. This is the Divine Light—theultimate source of all love and imagination.

As you breathe in, imagine this divine lightshooting light downwards and sending it into the ballof light that is just above your head. As you breatheout, see your Higher Self being energized by the lightsent from this higher sun.

Now imagine the person that you are havingproblems with. Visualize him or her from head to toe.Imagine this person is standing right in front of you.Now visualize that this person too, has a little ball ofshining light about three feet above his or her head.

Now you are going to create a triangle of light. Youare going to imagine that there is a beam of light con-necting your Higher Self to the other person's HigherSelf. Once you have made this connection, you ask thatyour Higher Self be allowed to speak to the other

person's Higher Self. The person is still facing you.Say what it is you have to say. Explain why the hatredor difference between you needs to be dissolved.Explain why it would be good for you both and every-one else. Keep your words positive: "I would like youto leave me alone because by focusing on me you arereducing your chances of meeting another person."

Now imagine that the shining sun high above youis sending light down to both of your Higher Selves.In your mind's eye you are seeing two people with atriangle of light above both of your heads. TheDivine Light is at the top of the triangle.

You ask the divine light to send both of you thelove, courage, strength and imagination required toresolve the situation.

Keep up this visualization of the Higher Sunsending light down upon both of you for as long asyou can. Remember to keep up the image of theenergy flowing back and forth between the two ofyou at the same time.

When you feel you have sent enough energy, youusually feel a little "click" indicating the matter is done.Dissolve the image and open your eyes.

The Transmutation of Negative into PositiveEnergy

This is a breathing exercise intended to purify theaura. It is good for any form of astral attack.

You may do this sitting, standing up or lyingdown. Imagine yourself surrounded in a bubble ofgolden light. Breathe deeply from your solar plexus.

Positive Affirmations for Replacing NegativeWords and Thought Forms

I cannot lose anything that is mine by Divine Right,and if I do lose it, then it is replaced by its equal or better.All is well in my world. All is well in all worlds.

Saint Ignatius of Loyola:

Protective SaintsProtective AngelsThe Archangels can protect you from every single

form of astral attack. You can call on them anytime byname and ask them personally for help or you canlight a candle and pray.

For Protection: Light a blue candle to the ArchangelMichael and ask him to surround you in a protectivebubble of blue light. When in danger walking downthe street it helps to imagine yourself surrounded bya force field of blue light.

For Peaceful Resolution of Conflict: Light a rose orpink-colored candle to the Archangel Chamuel, theAngel of Love and ask him to blast the situation withDivine Love.

For Disconnection from Astral Attack from anIndividual, Ghosts, Spirits or Astral Entities: Light ayellow candle to the Archangel Gabriel, the Angel ofIllumination and ask him to remove all hooks andunwanted energies from your third chakra.

For the Healing of Damage to the Aura: Light agreen candle and ask the Archangel Rapheal, theAngel of Healing to restore your energy and heal anyholes or rips in your aura.

For the Restoration of the Third Eye: Light a red,purple or gold candle (or all three together) to theArchangel Uriel, the Angel of Peace and ask that yourintuition be restored. Ask that all the parties involvedin the situation be taught to let go of their hostilities.

For the Transformation of Negative Energy intoPositive Energy: Pray to the Archangel Zadkiel, theAngel of Joy Ask that all negative energy that is sentto you be transformed into positive light. Ask him toprotect your crown chakra from invasion andunwanted influences and thought forms.

Appealing to or making a petition to the Saints forassistance against astral attack is a tradition found inCatholicism, Wiccan, Alexandrian, Yoruban,Santerian, Churches of Truth and New Age religions.

Traditionally, the request is written on a small slipof paper and placed under the burning candle.Commercial candles, featuring an image of a Saint ona glass jar filled with wax can be purchased for thispurpose.

However, it is my opinion that these candle-burningrituals require nothing more than the lighting of theappropriately colored candle and a short, sincereprayer for help that is directly addressed to the Saint.

Saint Alex: On a Sunday, burn a pink candle andask for protection against negative thought forms andthe harm your enemies might wish to send you.

Saint Barbara: On a Saturday, light a red candle toward off all evil, protect against astral interference,clear your path of obstacles and ask for protectionagainst binding or black magic.

Saint Clare of Assist: On a Monday, light a whitecandle and ask for protection from alcoholics, mentallyill people and psychic invaders. She can also assist youwith your own temptations.

Saint Dymphna: On a Monday, light a blue candleto help with obsession, possession by demons, nerv-ous disorders and astral attack from the living or thedead.

Reading from the Bible or any sacred text is supposedto provide powerful protection from astral attack.The repetition of holy words strengthens the auraand repels invasion. The Psalms suggested below mayhelp with a given situation:

Coconut Obsession-Breaking Milk BathYou can buy a commercial preparation that is a bubblebath, but the traditional way is to crack a coconut inhalf and pour half the milk in the water. Take theother half of the coconut milk and pour it directlyover your head. This cools and cleanses a disturbedand agitated mind as well as clears attachments. Adda squeeze of lime to this bath if you are feeling a lossof self-control.

Lime Bath for ObsessionOnce again, there are many "lime-flavored" showergels, soaps and bubble baths on the market that willdo the job, but squeezing the juice of one lime in thebath is also a classic remedy for obsession.

Sea Salt BathThe classic remedy for an attack on the aura is to takea bath in sea salts. Epsom salts will do the trick too,but I personally thinlc sea salt is the most effective.Put about a 1/4 to 1/2 of a cup of sea salts into a bathhalf filled with tepid water. Immerse yourself in thisbath for at least ten minutes, making sure to fully wetyour face and head. When you are done this bath, donot rinse off the salt. Pat yourself dry and go to bed.

This bath has the effect of strengthening your elec-tromagnetic field as well as cleansing it from anytoxic energy.

Protective Ritual BathsBeer Bath

one quarter of a cup beer, a squeeze of lemon juiceand a handful of sea salt to your bath. If you don'twant to use beer you can also use one of the MudHops bubble baths on the market, many of whichalready contain the lemon as well. To this you can tossin a handful of sea salt. Stay in this bath for at leastfifteen minutes and then rinse off.

Barley Water BathThis is for protection and to dispel evil with a capitalE. This is definitely the bath to have if you are feelinghaunted by something unseemly and of supernaturalorigin. Boil whole barley until it is soft in a pot. Drainand save the water. Pour into the bath. Bad spirits willrun like hell.

Clearing a Space of Bad VibrationsFeng Shui

According to traditional rules in Feng Shui, clutterattracts bad spirits and blocks the positive flow ofenergy. If you feel haunted or overly attached to thepast, one remedy might be to give your house a goodcleaning. If the object feels wrong, or reminds youfrom the past in a negative way then throw it out. Itis also said that Venus, the Goddess of Love, will notempty a dirty home.

Bells and ChimesHanging chimes in front of a window or a porch issupposed to prevent bad spirits from entering a

through it, ringing a bell that chimes in the key of C.Balinese temple bells were created exactly for thispurpose.

Making a Clean SweepA Wiccan tradition for clearing vibrations out of ahouse is to take a broom and, starting at the front

house. Another way of clearing your space is to walk

door, sweep the entire house in a counter-clockwisedirection. Even if your floors are clean you can do thisas a symbolic action. Keep sweeping in the counter-clockwise direction until you have reached the frontdoor and sweep everything you have collected out thefront door and to the edge of the street. Modernistscould probably use a vacuum cleaner to the sameeffect.

Copper PenniesFour copper pennies placed in the North, South, Eastand West corners of the house are thought to preventthe inhabitants from astral attack, ghosts and spirits.

IncenseThe classic incense used for protection is a combina-tion of frankincense and myrrh, which is said toplease the angels and summon protective light.

Genuine frankincense and myrrh can be bought inreligious supply stores and burned over charcoal in anincense burner. The burner is swung through thehouse, cleansing every corner of thought forms, entities

Sage can also be used to purify an environment. Itcan be bought commercially as stick incense or as asage bundle. A bundle is usually just the dried herbwrapped with an elastic band or rope. The bundle islit on fire and carried through the house to clear it of

entities and bad spirits. In several Native Americancultures, the aroma of burning sweet grass or sagepurifies the energies and attracts positive supernaturalentities.

The burning of bay leaves is a tradition fromancient Greece that was not only thought to bringprosperity but also to keep inauspicious energiesliterally at bay.

Spirits don't like noise. They don't like hustle, bustleand rooms full of people. They can't feed off nega-tivity if none is there.

If you feel like a ghost, spirit or entity inhabitsyour home, one way to get rid of it is to walk throughthe house banging pots and pans loudly. You can alsoring bells, blow whistles, clap your hands—anythingto make a racket for five minutes.

Spirits and entities can be attracted to music, partic-ularly melancholy music but they are not that fond ofthe television. One way to ward off attacks from theotherworld is to keep the television and radio on all day.

Keep your environment as cheery and noisy aspossible. They will attach to gloom and doom else-where.

If you do happen to think your home is inhabited bya spirit, entity or ghost, you might try directly com-municating with them. Many are not as malevolent asthey seem. They are simply lost. Most of these other-worldly beings are said to have a somewhat zombie-likecharacter that readily responds to commands. Oneidea might be to meditate and see if you can commu-nicate with what is there. If you feel some kind ofconnection, then ask politely for the spirit to go backfrom where it came. You might also thank it for thevisit, explain why it has to go and request that itplease leave. Many ghostbusters have had astoundingsuccess with performing this simple and courteousprocedure.

You can also try this with any form of psychicaggression, especially if you feel that it originatesfrom a person you know. For instance, if you sufferfrom an unpleasant memory or thought, you canalways say "No thank you. It's my brain and I will letwhat I want into it. Go back to where you came from!Thank you!"
