Understanding Psychic Attack: How to Recognize and Protect Your Energy

Jan 25, 2025

Have you ever walked into a space or encountered someone and left feeling drained, uneasy, or just “off” without knowing why? You may have experienced what’s commonly called a psychic attack. While the term might sound mysterious or even intimidating, it’s really just a way to describe how external energy can negatively affect your sense of well-being.

Our well-being isn’t just about physical health; it encompasses emotional, mental, and spiritual balance too. When something disrupts that balance—whether it’s the energy of a space, another person, or even our own unresolved emotions—it can leave us feeling unsettled or drained.

In this article, we’ll explore the nuances of psychic attack, how it might show up in your life, and, most importantly, how to take charge of your energy so you can protect your peace.

What Is a Psychic Attack?
At its core, a psychic attack happens when external energy influences you in a way that harms your balance and harmony. This can happen through:

Environmental Factors: Bright lights, loud noises, or even polluted air can energetically drain us.


Living Energies: This includes intentional or unintentional energy from others, such as:Psychic vampirism: When someone “feeds” off your energy, leaving you exhausted.
Cords and thought forms: Emotional or energetic connections that weigh you down.
Curses or black magic: Rare but deliberate attempts to harm someone energetically.
Residual Energy: Energy left behind in places or objects, such as hotel beds, borrowed clothes, or even the chair you’re sitting on.

Psychic attacks can be intentional (like curses) or unintentional. Many times, the person “sending” the energy isn’t even aware they’re doing it.

How Psychic Energy Affects Us
Let’s use an example: imagine getting on a bus and sitting in an empty seat. The person who sat there before you left their energetic imprint. If they were feeling calm and joyful, you might find yourself uplifted. But if they were angry or anxious, you could start feeling uneasy without knowing why.

This is why energy hygiene—cleansing your space, objects, and even yourself—is so important. You wouldn’t wear dirty clothes, so why allow energy to linger unchecked?

Are You Experiencing a Psychic Attack?
Sometimes it’s hard to tell whether you’re reacting to your own emotions or someone else’s energy. Here’s a simple exercise:

If you suddenly develop a headache or feel discomfort, take a moment and ask yourself, “Is this mine?”


Trust the first answer that comes to you. You might feel a physical reaction, hear a “yes” or “no” in your mind, or simply have a sense of knowing.


If the answer is no, you can release it. Try saying something like, “I release this energy into the Universe for transmutation.” You may feel lighter or even notice the discomfort disappear.

Why Awareness Is Key
One of the most empowering realizations about psychic attack is that it can only affect you if you allow it to. This isn’t about blaming yourself for feeling bad—it’s about recognizing your ability to protect and maintain your own energy field.

It starts with intention. Think of your thoughts like ripples in a pond. Every thought, especially those charged with strong emotion, has the power to affect others. For example, if you leave a meeting feeling angry and dwell on those thoughts, the person you’re upset with might feel that energy as a headache, nausea, or emotional discomfort.

This doesn’t mean you need to suppress your emotions. Instead, when you notice negative thoughts arising, take a moment to shift your energy. Imagine wrapping the person in healing light and ask the Universe to remove any negativity you may have unintentionally sent their way. This not only helps them but also keeps your own energy clear and aligned.

Protecting Yourself from Psychic Attack
Here are some simple, actionable steps to safeguard your energy:

1. Set an Intention for Protection: Use affirmations like, “I am protected. My energy is my own.” The stronger your belief in your intention, the more powerful it becomes.2. Cleanse Regularly: Smudging with sage, taking salt baths, or visualizing a cleansing light surrounding you are great ways to clear residual energy.

3. Energetically Clear Your Space: Especially after being in public places or hosting guests, take time to energetically cleanse your environment.

4. Ground Yourself: Spend time in nature, practice deep breathing, or meditate to stay centered.

5. Shield Your Energy: Visualize a bubble of light around you, reflecting any negative energy away and keeping your own energy intact.
