Protect Your Energy: How to Shield Against Psychic Attacks and Negative Energy

Have you ever walked into a space, spoken to someone, or even logged into your phone and felt inexplicably drained, anxious, or emotionally heavy afterward? That sudden swooping of energy can feel confusing and unsettling. What if part of what you’re perceiving as “bad vibes” is more than just intuition? What if it’s a psychic attack?

I know, that sounds a bit dramatic. But hear me out. Psychic attacks, although often misunderstood or overlooked, can deeply affect your energetic body and overall well‑being. If your energy feels fragile lately or relationship patterns feel toxic in subtle ways, this might be one piece of the puzzle you’ve been missing.

Let’s look at what a psychic attack is (and isn’t), how it shows up, and — most importantly — how you can shield your aura so your energetic well‑being is defended, nurtured, and stable.

What Is a Psychic Attack (Really)?

A psychic attack isn’t necessarily someone sitting around casting spells on you. It can be any projection of negative energy, emotions, or intentions directed your way — intentional or unconscious — that interferes with your energetic field and balance.

When it hits, it can ripple through your chakras and aura, fracturing harmony and leaving you off-center. You might feel like your inner energetic shield was breached — and you’re left picking up the pieces.

Often, these attacks stem from unhealed pain in someone else. Jealousy, unexpressed anger, or longing. The sender may be entirely unaware of what they’re doing. But their energetic currents can still reach you.

How Psychic Attacks Show Up in Your Life

Here are common signs that something energetic is going on:

• Sudden Negative Emotions — You feel anger, fear, or sadness for no apparent reason.

• Energy Drain — You feel wiped out even after adequate rest.

• Nightmares / Disturbing Dreams — You wake in the middle of the night feeling unsettled.

• Physical Symptoms — Random aches, unsettled digestion, tension, or heaviness with no clear medical cause.

• Relationship Distortions — You sense someone in your life is overstepping energetic boundaries or draining you subtly.

How to Shield Your Aura & Protect Your Energetic Well‑Being

You don’t have to be powerless. Here are protective practices that help you defend against psychic attacks:

Energetic Shielding

Imagine a protective bubble or cocoon of white, golden, or violet light around your entire energetic body. See it shimmering, flexible yet impenetrable. Let it act as your first line of defense.

Cleansing Rituals

Release what’s stuck. Use smudging, salt baths, or sound clearing (singing bowls, bells, tuning forks) to remove attachments and negative energy.

Grounding

Plant yourself in Earth energy, root down. Walk barefoot, meditate in nature, connect with trees or soil. A grounded foundation makes it harder for psychic intrusion to take hold.

Strengthening Your Energy Field

Daily rituals like breathwork, energy cord-cutting, or visualization of your energy expanding outward can make your field less permeable. (Check out shadow work journals focused on chakra protection for deeper support.)

Healing and Support

Sometimes, you’ll want expert help. A healer, energy practitioner, or psychic protection guide can help uncover and remove deeper intrusions you might not see yet.

Reflective Questions to Assess Psychic Intrusion

1. Have you experienced sudden mood shifts or emotional heaviness without external triggers?

2. Do recurring nightmares or unsettling dreams leave you feeling off-balance?

3. Are there people in your life whose presence drains your energy, even when they seem well-intentioned?

4. How often do you feel the need to “cancel plans” or retreat just to restore yourself?

5. Do you trust your body’s signal when it whispers, “I can’t stay here right now”?

If most of your answers skew toward “yes,” your energetic boundaries might be thinning.

Cleansing and Protecting Your Energy with Palo Santo

If you’re exploring ways to defend your energetic well-being, you might find our blog How to Use Palo Santo for Energy Clearing and Protection especially helpful. Palo Santo, a sacred wood used for centuries in spiritual practices, can help clear negative energy from your space, restore balance to your aura, and strengthen your energetic boundaries.

Pairing Palo Santo with shielding techniques, grounding practices, and regular energy cleansing rituals creates a layered approach to protecting yourself from psychic attacks. It’s a simple, accessible tool that works beautifully alongside other protective practices, helping you maintain clarity, calm, and energetic harmony throughout your day.

Closing: Your Energy Is Worth Defending

No, psychic attacks are not inevitable. You don’t need to walk through life feeling vulnerable or exposed. Healing your aura and protecting your energetic well‑being is an act of self-love and sovereignty. Start small. Ground daily. Strengthen your shield. Ask for support as needed.

If you’re ready to take this into the physical realm, consider working with orgonite pyramids. These powerful energetic tools help transmute negative energy and subtly stabilize your environment.  Like having silent, crystalline protectors in your space. Placing one near your bedroom, workspace, or in your aura during meditation can bolster your shield and support deeper energetic harmony.

Stay curious, stay caring toward yourself. The journey of energetic self‑protection is as much a beautiful unfolding as it is a reclamation.
