Hauntings and traumatic deaths

astrologerbydefault4 Comments

A quick post. Today I read in the news that some people want the government to convert some of our trains into mobile hospitals and run them as such. In this coronavirus COVID 19 emergency, any option is a good option if it saves lives. But, if the government does do this then, these hospital trains should never be used as passenger trains again, ever.

A personal experience. When I got selected for the job that I work in, I was 22yrs old. I knew astrology and the other dimension stuff, knew of energy and ghosts. Till then I was living at home and had not faced the world or the other worlds on my own. At home, my parents and grandmom were there to take care of all this stuff. This was the first time I was alone. Now, we, the newly recruited officers had a few months training period in an academy. We all were to stay in the hostels attached to this academy. It was a beautiful large campus, the rooms were very good, obviously each officer had one room to himself. It was not a hostel building but several rows of rooms, very quaint. I stayed there for 3 months and did not sleep for a single night there. I am not afraid of the dark, I can move about in pitch darkness anywhere. But here I could not sleep even if I left the lights on! I used to catch a few hours sleep in the evenings. And sit awake in the nights. After we passed out from the academy, I mentioned this sleeplessness to one of my batchmates and he told me something about the history of the hostel rooms that was truly horrifying.

These several cute rows of rooms were built as a hospital for the soldiers injured during the First World War! It was, for years, a hospital for the seriously wounded soldiers who had seen terrible scenes from the war. These poor souls were now in severe pain, perhaps crippled or dying. Several had died in these rooms alone without any comfort from their loved ones. The terrible energy of their trauma and their dying agonies were still echoing in the walls of these rooms. Worse, their spirits were still in these rooms. And then I clearly remembered what used to actually happen every night in those rooms. As I would start to fall asleep, the souls haunting the place would talk to me in my half-asleep state, flashing their pain and trauma into my aura. (Spirits generally communicate directly into your subtle body, ie through your aura.) They were telling me their stories and asking me to release them from their current pitiable state. They knew I was someone who could do it so were insistent. But then I was very inexperienced, rather unaware of what was happening. So would wake up in discomfort and confusion, never understanding. A few of my batchmates who were of a spiritual mind-set also suffered in those rooms. But most people live their lives on the very superficial physical levels, so no one really understood what pain those hostel rooms actually contained.

Hauntings and traumatic deaths

People who die alone and in pain are often unable to find the route to the next dimension of the spirits, Pitru-lok. Especially if they were young and had a lot to live for ahead of them. The pain of the last days coupled with the shock of the death instant can drive these souls crazy. Then some of them then become malevolent and cause pain to others who inadvertently come in contact with them. Some are just lost and wander randomly.

So if our nation decides to use the trains as hospitals there could be some issues later. The metal of the trains will all the more easily absorb the pain of the patients and the impression of their physical death instant. Some of these will naturally become haunted as some patients will die in them. Later if these trains are again used for passenger travel these will all be involved in serious accidents and more passengers travelling in them will die.

Another personal experience. In one of my postings, I had the district hospital and morgue right in the next campus from where I lived. The less said the better about this place, it was very eerily haunted. One is the people who have physically died or whose bodies are being kept there, their pain and souls stuck there. And second is the higher level negative entities, the pishachya, vetal and the even higher ones whose names I will not write in posts. These entities come to feed on the pain of the trapped souls. These entities then easily torment the people living around these areas. These areas are highly unsuitable for the living. In that same campus, the number of people committing suicides was extraordinary.

So if some of the trains are to be used as hospitals in the current coronavirus pandemic then these trains should not be used again in normal passenger service. Or if we do have to use them again for passenger travel then they should be properly ‘de-toxified’, the souls trapped in them and the pain imprinted in them should be removed by a competent tantrik, else we will see a rise in inexplicable trains accidents in the next few years.

What was Soma-ras exactly, alcohol?

astrologerbydefault

One of my friends asked me this question. I know that there are ‘modern’ (in my view, ignorant) scholars who claim that ancient Indian Rishi-Seers ate non-vegetarian food and drank alcohol! Now I really don’t bother about random people saying things but my friend! So this post.

What is tantra? It is complete control on your mind as you attempt practices for gaining complete control on your own vital energy/ pran. You accept the experience with full awareness. And you desire to transcend this experience because you really to experience is your own self ie Moksh. And what is Yog? Here also you control your mind, attempt practices, gain complete control over the pran in your body. But you consciously deny yourself the experience of the manifested as you search for the Ultimate. You are determined to experience nothing but the Ultimate. Both routes are different but require control over the mind and the direction of the pran movement. The genuine practitioners are very different, if you sit near them you feel the ‘grace’, blessings, peace and strength.

Tantra or Yog, are the only possible ways for attaining Moksh. If you invoke the tantric aspect of your deity, you can move very fast on your path. But the pitfalls are extraordinarily dangerous and if you make mistakes, the repercussions are unimaginable. You are required to have complete control over your mind, emotions and actions. You cannot lose your focus in what you are doing, else you will be so badly damaged on the spiritual levels, that it will take innumerable lives to recover. There are several ancient tantriks who made mistakes and are stuck on earth (if ever you visit the ‘burning ghats’/ Smashan in Kashi/Varanasi, you will know what I mean)

All deities have their Tantric ‘variants’. The Ganapati who is considered the most ‘cute’, adorable deity has an extremely terrifying aspect called ‘Uddanda’. This form is with innumerable hands holding multiple weapons, all three eyes open, red with rage, wearing red garments, red aura, lots of ornaments, trumpeting the sound of ‘Om’, dancing the dance of destruction as he systematically destroys everything holding you back in your spiritual progress. If you do his Sadhana, it is like he is intently standing in front of you holding all his weapons, ready to decimate you if you make one single fraction of an error. If you manage to complete his Sadhana he will grant you endless energy, open your Kundalini locks, allow you Moksh and everything.

There are very few genuine tantriks who do pujas of such forms of deities. This is a very arduous method of spiritual practice. This Sadhana is not a ‘short-cut’. The deity grants you energy which energises you from the depths of your soul to the aura which projects outside you. You are first made capable of holding the energy then the energy is given to you and the path will be difficult. But the fundamental premise of Tantra is experience without any sort of engagement. Your deity is an aspect of the Ultimate Reality. As you follow the path shown to you, you will see that not only you, but your deity also evolves. Hereto unknown aspects of his energy will be shown to you, you will experience. Everything essentially is the Parabrahma, the ‘beyond intelligence’. You are the Para, your deity is the Para. Your deity will finally show you this Para form of himself and yourself too. Here is when the deity, the aspirant and the Real all merge. Moksh.

Depression, what does the horoscope say?

But the point comes to this, a genuine aspirant will not do anything which will dampen/distort his energy, or make him lose control over his energy. It takes so much effort to gain one smidgen of control over your energy, you don’t fritter this away! By ‘energy’, I mean the movement of Satva-Raja-Tama, the three- Gun the basic building blocks. You use your pran consciously to control them. This is the goal of all spiritual practice.

In movies and in life, you will see ‘tantriks’, practitioners to be typically creepy individuals. Wearing weird clothing, lots of malas, beads, black tilak on the forehead and general creepiness. I have met some of these practitioners and there was a miasma of negative energy, dark-auras in their rooms and surrounding them. Very suffocating. You feel suppressed, scared and want to get up and run away. (This is not what a real knower of Tantra looks or feels like, I have met some of these too.) These ‘tantriks’ are those degraded individuals who indulge in the lowest forms of energy manipulations and and will do anything the client asks for as long as their payment is right. Mostly these have spirits bound to them who they use as slaves to perform their work. These are the ones who drink alcohol, eat non-veg food etc.

These practicioners have spoilt the reputation of Tantra. Looking for short-cuts and with very material wishes. If you know how, you can go to a cemetery where dead bodies are buried and capture yourself a spirit. A slave you can use. Such slaves are always ready to turn on their masters. Or if you know more (or foolhardy or over-confident), you can visit the aforementioned ‘burning ghats’ of Kashi and bind an ancient tantrik’s spirit. Here your slave is a skilled one (pishachya, brahmarakshas, vetal etc) and can do more. And if it gets a chance it will happily turn on you and cause even more damage. Or there is another option, to go to some place where there is no inhabitation and natural forests. Here you will find spirits linked to the other dimensions who visit these areas, especially on eclipses, twilights, no-moon days and full-moon days. You can strike your bargains and get them to fulfil your wishes. None of this is advisable, but those who are blind in their desire for material gains and power will do it. And later suffer, badly.

And this is not what Tantra really means.

These short-cut tantriks use some other spirit or being as their source of energy. They are not internally that spiritually evolved themselves. Their only ability is to control the spirits using ‘procedures’, rituals and mantra. These spirits desire base/ tamasic gifts, like alcohol, meat, drugs, or sexual contacts, which the tantrik will procure for them so that they will work for him. And one becomes what one associates with, so such a practitioner also eventually becomes such a degraded creature himself. Then while this spirit is associated with them, they experience the higher energy levels which cannot be sustained when their association is broken. So the energy flow has to be consciously brought down in his body too.

Eg you have wire which can carry a current of 50volts. Now you temporarily link it to a second wire so that now it can carry 5000volts current. But this linkage is not possible all the time, the second wire needs a break, say for 12 hours/day (spirits need this, else they go insane). So as the first wire is delinked, there is damage as the wire is not in itself capable of 5000volt. This damage is to be suppressed (it can be repaired only be personal spiritual practice, which these short-cut tantriks will not do). Also at the instant of delinking the residual 5000volts has to be brought down in an instant else it will fry this first wire. So these tantriks drink alcohol.

Alcohol in large quantities lowers down the movement of pran and also your ability to control it. (In the past, my office group had a couple of guys who really liked drinking hard alcohol. During office parties it was very educational to watch them. As they drank progressively larger quantities of alcohol, their auras would progressively get murky and shrink.) Alcohol brings down your energy immediately and this ‘downer’ lasts for a day or so. Non-veg food also acts in the same way and its effect is sustained for a longer time, for a few days. And sexual contact also does the same thing, intimately sharing energy, such tantriks will divert all the extra load into their partner, now both will suffer. If even some normal person does these activities as a habit, you can easily see the effects. His energy body loses its vitality. Alcohol and non-veg are tamasic in nature, the person’s energy will become still, dull, difficult to move etc. (I never advocate avoidance, once in a while, for social reasons, for emotional reasons, for medicinal reasons, for health reasons etc is ok. But mindless over-indulgence will harm. In meats, only fish meat is comparatively safe.)

Depression, what does the horoscope say?

‘Soma-ras’ needs to be explained now. Modern scholars opine that Soma is alcohol which our ancient Seers drank, which is the stupidest thing. Soma-ras is defined by the two great Seers/Rishi of Ayurved, Patanjali and Sushrut, they have written about it.

Soma is another name for Anna, the ‘essence of food’. Anna is the ‘material thing’ of this universe which you use to sustain your mind/ body. This stuff is capable of being disintegrated by Fire/ Agni/ Pran and converted to Pran. In modern terminology, Soma would be something like matter and Pran is somewhat like energy. They both are conscious, intelligent, inseparable and inter-convertible. Soma is considered to be a form of Shakti (the energies are ‘with Uma’) and Pran is considered to be a form of Shiv. Soma is dispersed, it cannot be focussed on. Pran is the concentrated energy, this can be focussed with intention pushed into the thinnest nadi of the body. Soma needs to be converted into Pran for it to be of real use. Now there is one typical nature of Soma powered Pran, it rises up with relatively little effort.

When you eat food, it enters your digestive system where the conscious fire of digestion transforms it. Some of this is absorbed and some part is ejected out. This absorbed essence of food is used in different ways, to sustain the Sapta-dhatu, to sustain the mind/Manas and some is converted to pran/vital energy. The ancient Rishi-s ate specific food which could be converted completely to Pran. This food is called the Soma. Ras means the essence. And Ras also means the infinite intelligent scalar field of unlimited energy. So ‘Soma-ras’ is the subtlest energy of the essence of food. If such a food is eaten, there would be nothing ejected and a big boost of pure pran. This food was eaten before entering into the deepest states of Dhyan-Sadhana. These states would be maintained for long periods of time, even years. Rishi Patanjai clearly says that there are herbs-Oushadhi, which can be used to deepen the Dhyan states and achieve Moksh. But we do not have the details with us (continuous onslaughts of invaders targeted our temples, which were our institutions of learning and the teacher, the Brahmins who knew. No wonder this age is called the Kali-yug, all real knowledge is lost to us.)

If you find this difficult to believe, try this small experiment. The hypothesis is, if you eat food which has higher spiritual energy, it is more easily and completely converted to Pran. There would be very little matter ejected and your aura/ energy will improve. So eat a dal/rice for 3 days. The dal should be only mung bean dal (Vigna radiata). And the rice should be unpolished. Add one spoon ghee (made from Indian desi humped cow milk) and some sea-salt/ rock-salt and turmeric as per your taste. If you find it tasteless, put some jira/Cumin seeds or 1pod of elaichi/ Cardamom or a bit of ground ginger in it as it cooks. This is the most Satvic-energy combination, where you have protein, carbohydrates, fats, mineral, turmeric in one dish. See what effect it has on your energy.

So, to conclude, Soma-ras is the purest essence of food, which is not available to us now. It is definitely not alcohol. Alcohol downs your energy instantly. Our ancient Rishi-s did not eat tamasic foods. They were Seers, realised souls, or aspirants who were actively working towards realization. Some of us are also actively pursuing this goal. So if you can, try to reduce your non-veg/ alcohol intake and sexual activity to reasonable limits. Mindlessly indulging in these will reduce the quantum of your pran and also affect your ability to manipulate it.

Defence against the Dark Arts

astrologerbydefault

Psychic-attack is quite common. A psychic attack first attacks your mind, your astral body, then it percolates into your physical body. It is basically a negative thought powered by invoked energies. All of us will go through such an experience in our life-time. It may be fleeting or sustained, unintentional or malevolent and with lesser or deeper impacts, but it will be. Most of us are quite ignorant of the invisible energies around us so might not register this event as a ‘psychic attack’. But it will happen to all of us at some point of time. If you are aware of it you can act and reduce your exposure and contain damage.

There are basically two ways of doing this. One is the passive way and the other active method of protection.

Passive methods are broadly the spiritual practices you perform regularly. Here you strengthen your mind. You are only as strong as your mind is. So if you practice regularly you will gain as follows,

  • You still your mind. The loss of energy due to the non-stop chattering mind reduces.
  • You gain control over your actions and reactions. Even if someone psychic-attacks you, you are more able to remain composed and work out a plan to get yourself out of trouble. You are able to concentrate and intend more clearly/ strongly.
  • You become fearless. You stop your mind’s wild imagining. As your faith in your Higher self deepens you lose fear of the unknown. 99% of our agitation is caused by fear of the unknown triggered by the mind going wild, imagining.
  • As you meditate on the abstract qualities of peace, harmony, higher self, self-love, protection from the Universe etc, you are building yourself up. This is like a gym for the spirit. You get stronger. You get emotionally stable and solid. Very few things will have the ability to shake you. The influence of external forces will diminish in both strength and duration.
  • You elevate your own energies to such levels that the energy of the psychic attack becomes irrelevant.
  • This passive method is a daily practice and without its support you cannot hope to do anything more.

f1-min.jpg

Now the active methods also can be broadly of two types, generic and specific.

First is the generic. Here you are not responding to an attack, you are just doing regular ‘house-keeping’. You are required to cleanse, shield and ground yourself regularly. Once in a week or in a fortnight is good enough. I have written posts on this earlier. Use the energy tool of your choice ie lemons, sea salt, peacock feathers, vibhuti etc, on yourself, your loved ones and your residence. This will ensure that the regular ‘evil eye’ negative energy, which all of us are exposed to, is removed periodically. Just like you sweep your house, you also are sweeping out the negative energies from around you.

Second is the specific. This can be as simple as a prayer to your source of faith or as complicated as a full-fledged ritual. There is infinite energy around you which you can use. It is outside of you, it is other than your personal energy, so first you have to invoke it. You focus on one aspect of this universal energy which will help you resist and overcome the psychic-attack. Once you have invoked it, you concentrate the invoked force using a symbol, an object, a talisman, a gesture, a mental effort, etc. While using these symbols and talismans you should never forget that it is ultimately your own intention which powers everything you do. The more clear and focussed your intention is, the more powerful your defence will be. Then after concentrating this energy, you release this ball of energy with the intention of countering the psychic-attack.

If you think you are under active psychic attack, here is a step-wise to-do. First create a proper shield. This will take max 2 mins.

  1. Stand or sit facing east. Keep your hands in the namaskar position. Relax. Close your eyes. Breathe deeply a few times, think of your source of faith, favourite deity, universe, etc whom you are going to invoke. Feel its presence within you and visualise it looking at you with love and attention. Say your favourite prayer in your language or a mantra, request help.
  2. Visualise the golden-silvery energy from your deity entering you. You and your aura are now covered in golden-silver energy.
  3. Visualise a Bindu, a dot at your third eye chakra, between your eyebrows. The Bindu is the origin of creation. All the energy of the Universe is concentrated in this dot. You are going to use its energy.
  4. Now visualise a flaming gold sword in your hands.
  5. Next visualise your energy multiplying. If it helps, you can see yourself increasing in size, as big as the universe perhaps. You with the golden-silver aura, holding the fiery sword ready in your hands, your deity giving you his power. You are ready to defend yourself now.
  6. Now visualise a tight circle around you, keep it as tight as you can. You visualise yourself using the the tip of your sword and draw it clockwise. (This is all the power of your visualisation. Your physical hands are still in the Namaskar position). The circle should be just big enough to contain your body. Visualise tiny golden flames coming out of the circle, going outwards. Visualise this circle a few times to make it stronger and brighter. These flames will burn whatever is being sent against you.
  7. Now pray to your deity and request him/her to protect you from danger coming from all 10 directions. East, west, north, south, NE, NW, SE, SW, up and down. Your intention should be clear and focussed. The more clearer you ‘see’ the sword and the circle of fire the more powerful it will be.
  8. Clear your mind, slowly, breathe deeply, relax, open your eyes, put your hands down from the namaskar position. And you are done.

Now you know how to make your defence, let’s see where all can you use this flaming circle shield.

You can visualise such a flaming shield around yourself or your loved ones. It will protect. You should refresh it once or twice a day if you feel.

Use this circle to seal your aura. After you finish step (6), visualise two knots in your aura at your right and left foot. The aura will remain sealed.

You are going to meet someone you dislike, someone who tries to overwhelm you, it is an unintentional psychic attack. So you have already made this flaming circle in the morning. Now when you actually meet him, visualise a sheet of transparent glass between you and him. If he is exceptionally dominating, visualise a brick wall between you two. This will stop the psychic attack. Another way of avoiding psychic attacks from over-bearing people is closing yourself. Use this posture. Cross your fingers or cross your arms across your stomach. Keep your elbows close to your sides, there should be no space between your arms and your sides. Keep your feet side by side but not crossing. You thus seal yourself off to this person.

Often some people try to psychic-dominate others by staring intently into the other’s eyes. If you ever face this problem, do not stare back. It will exhaust you. Rather look at the tip of the nose or on the points above or below the the other’s eyes. Avoid looking into other person’s third eye chakra or any other chakra for that matter. Remember chakras are energy vortexes they tend to pull in the energy coming from anywhere. In this case it is wise to avoid direct contact with the other’s chakras, which can result in over-depletion of one’s precious psychic energy. (No genuine sadhak/ spiritual aspirant will gaze intently into other’s eyes. It causes hypnosis to the other. Also loss of power of the aspirant. I avoid looking directly into other’s eyes.)

Defence against Dark Arts, perhaps

Now the final is to counter-attack. At step (4) you have visualised a weapon, a fiery sword. If you get into the habit of refreshing your energy defence circle everyday you will naturally refresh this energy weapon too. With every visualisation, this weapon will gain power and be more easily accessible. You can then use this flaming sword to cut cords or stop negative entities actively. But I would advise to wait for some time. Make yourself more powerful by practising the passive methods first. Second get into the habit of cleansing your self/ surroundings. Third, learn to make a very strong shield, the ring of flames. And then attempt direct counter-attacks with your energy weapon.

This visualisation is a very basic step. Later you won’t need to spend even these 2 mins. All this becomes instinctive, just like breathing.

It is important to increase pran levels flowing in your body. I have written about this earlier also. Sit in the morning sunlight, eat healthy food, plenty of water, avoid heavy meats but fish is ok, avoid alcohol and drugs, keep your mind fresh. This much is enough to counter-act the regular psychic attacks that one faces in life. Even if you are facing someone quite malevolent, this much will help you gain time till you can consult a professional practitioner. This is an exciting world of energy where you gain and suffer in terms of the astral-self first. Your mind is your most important tool, keep it in your control always.

(I have continued this post in the next two parts, here and here)

Defence against Dark Arts, perhaps

(A recent episode.

My husband, son and Dad were out and I was home alone for quite a few days. It gets quite cold here and there is complete silence at night, utterly still. So I was half-sleep and heard some spirits wandering about. Quite dirty things, irritating. So in my half-sleep I shut down the house, astrally, completely. Now the next day they were still wandering about the house. I threw them out, went to the office, came back quite late, went to bed. Now they were trying to talk to me! This was a surprise as once I throw something out, they stay out. These were trying to catch my attention and one of them touched me, which made me cross. I threw them out again and went to do Dhyan. 

The next morning the spirits were still there, still trying to talk to me. Now I was confused. Apparently I had, in my half-sleep, shut the house down so tightly that now the spirits could not exit. They were desperate to go but were trapped. eg If they exited from the bedroom they would appear in the kitchen. When I threw them out they simply reappeared in some other room. They wanted me to set them free! I had written a post on ‘haunted houses’ and it was a personal experience so I had sort of radiated energy while writing it. So these spirits were curious and wanted to see the source of this energy. Such a face-palm moment and it was funny. 

So the moral of the story is before shielding the house ensure that you have first cleansed it. Do not manipulate the astral when half-asleep. And it is quite easy to trap spirits but they are quite unhygienic so it is better not to.)

Psychic attacks, how do they happen?

astrologerbydefault

This is rather serious topic as psychic attacks are a criminal act. They may be malevolent or unintentional, slow draining or fast acting or whatever but they damage the victim. They drain the vitality of the victim, make him ill, either physically or mentally, hurt him emotionally, subdue his spirit, cause him losses, control his will and in some cases can even kill.

We actually live in a maelstrom of invisible forces. We do not perceive these forces but they affect us deeply. Most of us are thankfully unaware of this aspect of our life. Our limited senses are incapable of registering these forces. And strangely our ignorance actually protects us. But sometimes these forces rise up and swamp us. These forces link up on the astral levels first and then percolate into the physical body. The victim is is hurt from the inside out! This takes several months to heal completely depending on the intensity of the hurt.

Psychic attacks, how do they happen?

Here are a few scenarios where psychic attack is possible,

You might go to a place where such invisible forces are concentrated. This happens very commonly, eg haunted houses or cemeteries especially where bodies are buried. Or houses built on sites which have seen traumatic events in the past. Or even sites of our ancient temples which were desecrated and destroyed by the invaders. Here the astral dimensions are especially strong, dense, concentrated. Susceptible people should stay away from such places, the interference from the astral planes can hurt. I use the word ‘interference’. Mostly these incidents are not deliberate with malevolent intentions. The spirit forces may be curious or in panic themselves. (My son was about 8yrs old when he first saw a tree being cut. It was an old massive tree over 150yrs old. We had to wait for some 10mins as a branch had fallen across and blocked the road. Every tree has spirits living on it. This old giant was being killed systematically and was radiating its pain. Its resident spirits were upset. Death is quite interesting so other entities had come to watch. The disturbance on the astral levels was unbelievable. My son started crying uncontrollably, affected by all this. And a few curious spirits tried to follow him home…)

Generally children are susceptible as they are more aware of these invisible forces. Babies are most sensitive. Then in some families these abilities are ‘inherited’. These families are also more linked to the astral forces thus can sense them. e.g. I have seen that in such families, Rahu/ Ketu are significantly placed and control a major part of the personality and environment. However even if someone can sense them, they may not have the mental strength or skill to manage them. One of my aunts can ‘see’ a lot of stuff but it scares her badly.

Then another scenario. You might meet people who are linked to such forces, and this affects you on the internal levels, upsetting you. People who actively perform rituals linked to the astral dimensions have a very strong dense overpowering aura. If the energies being invoked are positive you feel relaxed with such people. But if the person is doing energy work with negative intentions or doing the rituals wrong, or has spirits bound to him as his slaves, etc his aura feels suffocative and pulls at your energy. (Once I met a Tarot practitioner. A good-natured woman, she surprise-hugged me as we left. In this 2-sec hug she stripped my aura off. As we got in the car, I started uncontrollably crying/shivering, body went cold. It took a few minutes to set me right. But in these few minutes I experienced what a psychic attack can really mean! She was doing some strange mantra jaap, was recently divorced, stressed out. Her own energy was depleted and she unconsciously pulled out mine to replenish hers.)

Psychic attacks, how do they happen?

Another possibility is that you meet someone suffering because of psychic attacks and this suffering links with you. This can drain you too. Often you will get clients with this sort of pain. Be very careful about your interactions with them. Remember to cut cords and do a complete cleansing and protection of yourself and your office. Never allow clients at your actual residence with their problems.

People often get interested in these invisible forces and perform minor cleansing or protecting rituals. Mostly they are quite unskilled and unaware, so cannot call on the really big energies. So they remain safe by their own lack of skill. But it is possible that someone, by ill-luck or wrong guidance, gets into more than he can handle. This is then serious trouble. This danger is also quite common among the serious practitioners. So even if you have books like ‘Goetic spirits‘ do be very careful in doing any of the rituals described in it.

Then another way you get involved in the invisible world is this. You buy something, a curio or pre-owned book or object of ‘magic’ and it turns out to be actually charged with negative energy. Antiques or objects used by people in the past or symbols linked to other faiths of which one does not have sufficient information etc carry psychic traces from their previous owners and faith-associations. Better avoid bringing such objects/images into your house.

And finally someone may actively target you. Intend to cause you pain, trouble, influence your mind, force you to follow his directions etc. This is a malicious attack on you and you must take steps to get out of it before you get yourself into serious trouble.

Some attacks may be slow and subtle. These can go on for quite some time making you miserable, upset, physically ill and no definitive diagnosis. And some attacks may be quick and fast acting. Either way it is a terrible experience.

If you are under a psychic attack some of the effects that you might experience are,

A heavy weight pressing you as you sleep. Nervous exhaustion and deep fear. Cannot sleep, physical exhaustion, unknown reason for ‘wasting’ away, mental breakdown. As you are denied deep sleep your body/ mind/ soul suffers. Sleep paralysis is common, as you dream and suddenly are jerked awake. Frequent dreams of being buried, tied up, snakes, ghosts, cemeteries, nightmares etc. There might be bruises on the body or seizures/ fits in rare extreme cases. Seeing a darkness from the corners of your eyes. Cold drafts in the house, your hair standing on end. Filthy smells from certain locations in the house. Hearing random thuds and sounds. (Just a couple of weeks ago. I live in a large bungalow with sloping tin roofs. It was raining heavily and around midnight, there were heavy thuds on the roof, as if an elephant was walking on it. My house is well-shielded so jumping on the roofs was all that it could do!). Manipulating elements like this can get dangerous as things may set on fire, electrical equipment may short, etc. A change in your mindset, you feel depressed, sad, tired all the time, your opinions change drastically, your likes/dislikes change as the personality is forced to change by the malicious attack. In fact your aura will show this negative energy clearly. Now there could be a perfectly material explanation for some of these things, and sometimes there is too. But the possibility of the occult should not be ignored especially if you are seeing multiple symptoms together.

Psychic attack can be of two types, intentional and unintentional.

One in which the perpetrator is unaware of what he is doing. Someone may be so emotionally hurt that he lashes out with pain. The intention to hurt gets powered by the pain and actually causes harm. (I had one client who married against his mother’s wishes, the mother was emotionally hurt. Her emotions against her son, turned into actual astral black ‘arrows’. I saw them embedded in his back, he was severely ill but the doctors could not find the reason. The reason was the ‘arrows’. It was an intense psychic attack and both were unaware of what had really happened.)

Another case, here the perpetrator is personally under the influence of negative energy and literally begs a higher energy individual for help. My brothers and I have suffered this several times. (One of my brothers travels by train everyday, so is in physical contact with several random people. He does his own pujas and has a very high level of energy but is always drained. He gives it away to all these depleted people who brush against him as his travels! )

For these type of unintentional astral attacks the only solution is to shield yourself, cleanse yourself and ground yourself regularly. Do your spiritual practice regularly to keep yourself charged up. Also minimise physical contact with random people.

Psychic attacks, how do they happen?

The second type of psychic attack is actually criminal. It is intentional and designed to harm the victim. Also called ‘black magic’. There are several rituals used for creating such attack energies. Commonly a blood sacrifice is performed by the practitioner, black goats and black cockerels are the favoured sacrifices. Location can be cemeteries, boundaries of towns, isolated places, river-banks etc. And during the no-moon nights or twilight. The energy of death is linked to the negative intentions and sent to the target victim. The first thing that happens is that the victim is unable to understand what is happening to him. He is ‘blindfolded’, so that the negativity does not register. Then he argues with all those people who might help him recover. He is isolated and then the second part where he is actually hurt plays out. (Once I  was caught in a mental fog, body broke down, was unable to meet with my brothers who could have helped me, my husband got too busy with his work, not-at-home types. It took a full 2 months to really understand what was happening and to clean it out.)

I and my family members have suffered through such attacks several times. So when I write these posts, it is from personal experience. Sometimes I do think twice about writing these off-beat things. But then there are two ways of looking at it, someone may be inspired to attack and someone might learn how to protect himself from such attacks. It is my karma to write all that I know. So what you make of these posts, Dear Reader, it is between you and your conscience.

(In my next post have written about few easy ways of protecting yourself from such attacks.)
