10 Signs of a Psychic Attack or How to Find if Someone Directs Their Negative Energy at You

An energy or psychic attack can happen to anyone. In this article, we explore what it is and how to recognize it.

Have you ever faced a sudden and totally unexpected negative response from someone? And has this rubbed off onto you, almost instantly making you angry and upset too? A psychic attack (also known as an energy attack) is exactly that. It comes very quickly and is caused by someone else’s negative energy being directed at you.

Negative energy, or low energy, doesn’t necessarily have to come from a person’s words; it can come from someone’s thoughts, attitudes and emotions as well.

Low energy is basically any type of energy that is produced from feeling an emotion anything less than happiness. This could be worry, doubt, fear, sadness, anger or anything else of the sort.

Of course, if you are an empath, then you are going to be more greatly affected by low energy attacks. But regardless, even the most emotionally strong can be affected too.

It can hit anyone at any time and has the ability to completely and suddenly change your mood and a general feeling of wellbeing.

It should be noted that a psychic attack can happen not only in face to face interactions with people but from a distance too. For instance, over the internet or on a phone call.

Here are ten of the most common signs that you may be experiencing a psychic attack.

  1. Coughing or choking on seemingly nothing in particular.
  2. Feeling cranky or easily irritated.
  3. A throbbing headache or even symptoms of a migraine.
  4. Feeling stomach cramps or nausea.
  5. Constant feelings of guilt, anxiety or worry eating away at you all throughout your day.
  6. Having a sudden feeling of disorientation or feeling out of sync.
  7. Difficulty in breathing or a tight feeling in your chest.
  8. Feeling sharp pains around the shoulders, chest and/or back.
  9. Feeling like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders.
  10. Suddenly feeling angry or on edge for no apparent reason.

Our natural reaction is always to blame or point fingers at ourselves when we feel this way. But in actual fact, if you find yourself feeling any or all of these symptoms on a regular basis, yet all of a sudden, it means that you are being hit by someone else’s negative energy – not your own.

Once you acknowledge that this is happening, you can then begin to look for the source and identify the problem.

  • Hi all, I really need advice or help , I have all the symtops of someone that is being psychicly attacked. I am in such a bad space I don't leave my room or home .

  • I was having one of the Best days ever today! The most Positive & Connected energy ever flowing through me! I mean even everyone around me could feel it! When I came home it was all the same as Much Positive & Loving energy. Happiest I have ever been. Until my Boyfriend came home from work. He seemed Happy though but I am a Empath and could feel a different kinda of energy coming from him. Like deceitful energy.... Ever since I have had a extremely severe headache... it was all of a sudden like being hit with a baseball bat to the head... Can it really be him?

  • A few days ago, I did experience a psychic attack brought on by a former acquaintance with whom I stopped communicating and stopped being physically close through hugs that I felt very uncomfortable to give him. As a result, he texted me with so
    much anger and disdain. I was caught off guard and I experienced nausea for 2 days and nights that I had to get up in the
    middle of the night and pace in my bedroom so as not to vomit and remove the nauseous feeling on 2 separate occasions.
    Usually, the nausea went away. I had also felt bad stomach cramps and difficulty breathing with heaviness in my chest. My body did not seem to absorb the food I ate. Then I realized I could be suffering from a psychic attack. I immediately took measures to protect and heal myself, not with medication, but by performing the ritual of lighting a candle and burning incense
    to remove the negative energy. Next, I chanted with my mala (108 beads) made of obsidian prior to going to sleep. On the second night of this ritual (lighting candle and incense burning) to cleanse the environment and chanting with my obsidian mala that I neglected to do for a long time, my body's energetic level changed. I immediately felt a sense of well-being. And as my physical body went through changes that made me well, I felt in my stomach a skinny rope being pulled out. and as it slowly left my stomach, there was the feeling of relief equivalent to a process of healing taking place inside my stomach. I do practice Tibetan Buddhism and am also familiar with crystals that I often use for protection.
    On the third day, I was back to normal, and food tasted better to the point my body absorbed it again. This was not the
    first time I had experienced psychic attack. Usually psychic attacks occur when you are not vigilant. They're always out
    there and the best way to avoid them to keep up with your spiritual practice, chanting and listening to Buddhist music and
    chants.

  • Heyy!! I’m very used to being attacked, in all sorts of ways. My energy is really huge, and not grounded, so I fly to anyone and leave myself way too often. This leaves me in a helpless state which I can’t get out from. My solar plexus, if you are familiar with it, is like a large cloud instead of a strong point in my body. I tend to get stuck in other people’s body and my own body gets drained so my legs start hurting. The problem haven’t occured that frequently the last months, luckily, it started two years ago after my first attempt of astral projection, I guess I opened something in my legs who was being dorment.

    I’ve always been «too» connected to those around me, it’s funny... whenever I went to pee, I’d just stand or sit there because somebody else wasn’t peeing. This is still a huge problem for me and a clear - and rather embarassing - proof we’re all connected.

    Today I had to search up about this after twenty minutes of plain torture. It started with me reaching out with my heart to two apparently very negative people. Whenever I type their names, or at least the first one, I’m attacked again, as if my will, and focus, is determined through both thought and all other sorts of action. If that makes sense.

    Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton. UGH! I kept thinking of the first one, couldn’t get away. I’m able to see people’s auras, and some other things, and what I saw just didn’t leave my conscious mind... as if i was pulled back continiously. I didn’t know what to do, but I went and got my onyx necklace to try to protect myself, and it didn’t do much. So I picked up and held three pieces of bornite, or peacock ore, and it did wonders!

    Here’s my point. My heart’s still being hit... but bornite is known to be agressive towards negativity! It fights it off. Please, please, if you are used to psychic attacks, get a bunch of these stones, or at least one, and keep it with you. You’ll be surprised at what it does.

    And any skeptics out there, you’ll be amazed when you discover feelings! And love! It exists even though you might not see it. Thoughts do too, when i come to think about it. Thanks for reading this work of art, ladies and gentlemen! I am still trying to figure out how to go to sleep, and holding real tight onto my piece of bornites. I bought mines from Jay Essex, if you wanna dig into some real crazy stuff. Have fun

  • "Of course, if you are an empath, then you are going to be more greatly affected by low energy attacks. But regardless, even the most emotionally strong can be affected too.'' Just you saying that an empath is not an emotionally strong being tells me how little you know about this stuff.. Do you even know what an empath is?

    • I think you misunderstood what the author wanted to say - this phrase means that an empath is more sensitive to energies than other people, not that they are weaker.

    • I think you and I are the only ones that caught that ignorant remark. As a fellow empathy I agree completely with you.
