Astral Attack

Written by Sam Stevens


Believe it or not most astral Attacks are not caused by curses or witchcraft. Halfrepparttar time astral attacks are not intentional. They take place onrepparttar 129990 subconscious level and arerepparttar 129991 result of negative thinking, verbal abuse that goes round and round inrepparttar 129992 head, stale energy that has been left behind in a place and bungled rituals that may have done by amateurs hoping to create prosperity or love. Below I have identifiedrepparttar 129993 different kinds of astral attack that can take place and hopefully it will help you avoid cursing yourself as well as others. Thoughts are like seeds …once planted and allowed to grow they can take root and chokerepparttar 129994 potential out of your life. The idea is to keep your psychic garden free ofrepparttar 129995 spiritual equivalent of suckers, weeds and anything else that might abort your spiritual growth, personal will and soul freedom. Thought Forms Thought forms tend to affect our lives on a mundane level. That is because they tend to be sent by ordinary people. We may experience more day-to-day and practical frustrations. This kind of attack is usually from someone you know, with whom you’ve had an unpleasant encounter with. Perhaps you have had a disagreement and they have been disgruntled with you all day. You might feelrepparttar 129996 “bad energy” from that person’s thoughts. The Subconscious Curse This kind of curse usually comes from someone that we know quite well and actually cares for us. They may even be praying for our well being to our actual detriment. A good example of this isrepparttar 129997 individual who prays forrepparttar 129998 person with AIDS to have an “improved immune system” whenrepparttar 129999 disease itself is an overkill of immunity. This is where others think they know what’s best for you, but actually don’t and you feel as if you are leading a life directed by someone else, and not you. The Self-Fulfilling Prophecy Attack This kind of astral attack is often stated verbally inrepparttar 130000 form of a negative affirmation such as “You’ll never make your rent unless you get a job.”, “There’s no way you can write that book in two weeks” and “Your aunt had diabetes so you will probably get it to.” These kinds of words have a powerful effect on our subconscious mind and set to programmingrepparttar 130001 conscious mind to write a disaster script for us. Unsolicited Criticism and Verbal Abuse This might seem obvious, but this is actually a form of direct astral attack. The Unconscious Mind is very much influenced by words and picks up these cruel words. Because they hurt we often repeat them over and over in our minds. When we do this we are basically subconsciously cursing ourselves with another person’s words. The Collective Wish for Failure The more successful you are,repparttar 130002 more you attract envy and jealousy, and thereforerepparttar 130003 ravages ofrepparttar 130004 evil eye. There are many people out there who will happily congratulate you on your success and then secretly go home and wish that you would fail for once. This can be especially powerful if you find yourself atrepparttar 130005 mercy of a large group of people who are all wishing for your demise atrepparttar 130006 same time. The Psychic Vampire If you feel exhausted, fatigued or drained just by encountering a person, then chances are you have encountered a person who is adept at hooking into your third chakra and sucking your energy. If this person is always on your mind, torepparttar 130007 exclusion of all other thoughts, than it is possible that you have become engaged in an energy exchange with someone who is trying to dominate or bend your will to their way.
