The Truth About Psychic Attacks & Energy Protection for Empaths

What No One Tells You About Energy Protection and Psychic Attacks

Psychic attack and energy protection are often discussed in spiritual circles, but I have noticed there is something that is not often discussed. Many people, especially sensitive empaths, are told to visualize white light or imagine a shield, without ever addressing the deeper reason they feel vulnerable in the first place. After years of offering Aura Cleansing and Akashic Records readings, I’ve seen a consistent pattern: protection doesn’t come from what you build around yourself, it comes from what you clear within.

What Is a Psychic Attack? A psychic attack is when negative energy is directed toward you, consciously or unconsciously. These attacks can weaken your energy field, leading to exhaustion, confusion and emotional turmoil.

People experience psychic attacks or any external energy interference because something “in them” creates the opening. As they say “you attract, what you are” and that means that your personality, beliefs and energy draw similar people and circumstances into your life. That might sound unsettling, but it’s actually empowering. When you understand how your own field works, you stop living in fear and are able to focus on what you need to resolve.

Energy Shielding Isn’t a Wall

In the spiritual community, energy shields are often described as walls of light that block negativity. In practice, energy shileding doesn’t always work like that. Our field is not static, it’s a dynamic vibration that constantly interacts with everything around it. The stronger your energetic coherence and integrity, the less you need to “block” anything, because your field naturally filters what doesn’t resonate with you and keeps what does.

I’ve seen this countless times during Aura Cleansing sessions. A person can spend years visualizing shields, yet still feel drained or invaded, because their field carries unresolved imprints that act like open doors to psychic attacks, energy vampires, psychic intrusions and other external influences.

How Openings Form in the Energy Field

Every person emits a frequency that attracts or repels certain energies. When your vibration carries unhealed memories, unresolved trauma, or inherited patterns, it can broadcast signals that invite corresponding vibrations – including unwanted ones.

Here are three common ways these “openings” form and how they can leave you exposed to external influence.

1. Past Life Karma

Unresolved energy from past lives can leave imprints that shape how your energy interacts with the world. For example, a past life of persecution or betrayal might leave a vibration of fear, leading you to unconsciously attract controlling or draining people. Until that imprint is cleared, it acts as an energetic beacon that attracts similar dynamics. Someone with a past life burden of powerlessness may absorb fear from others. Someone with a karmic theme of self-blame may pick up shame or pressure that isn’t theirs.

In my Past Life Readings, I often find these karmic imprints operating quietly beneath the surface. Once the imprint is released you stop attracting the same emotional patterns and you become far less open to emotional contamination from others.

2. Ancestral Trauma Imprints

Ancestral guilt, grief, or unresolved shame can live within your energy field, shaping your boundaries and sensitivity. These inherited imprints often make empaths over-give, absorb emotions that aren’t theirs, or feel responsible for the pain of others.

You’ll probably recognise this pattern in the UK. Many people carry the old ancestral imprints of “stiff upper lip”, “don’t make a fuss” and “children should be seen and not heard”. When someone has these imprints their ability to speak up compresses, their emotional range tightens and their instinct to speak up dulls. That creates gaps in their energy shielding and may attract people who lean on them emotionally without offering support back, are controlling or expect compliance to discomfort. Clearing these imprints can strengthen your shield as it restores your inner authority.

During Ancestral Trauma and Karma Readings, I see how these patterns can create turmoil. That split weakens your overall coherence, making your energy more porous and vulnerable to psychic interference.

3. Negative Thought-Forms and Emotional Projections

One of the most common causes of energetic openness that I have seen is thought-forms. They can be self-created or they can be sent by others.

Thoughtforms are strong emotions and intentions that have stayed in your field. They behave like small energetic constructs that can linger, repeat old reactions or weigh certain areas down when they build up over time. They’re not beings or entities, just leftover mental and emotional residue that can influence how you feel or respond until they’re cleared. They form when a strong emotion or repeated thought doesn’t get processed and instead settles into the energy field as a small imprint. They stay in someone’s field when the pattern behind them keeps getting triggered or when there’s not enough grounding or self-awareness to clear them out.

Chronic self-doubt, shame, guilt or fear can form energetic clouds that make you feel “heavy” and oppressed. Other thoughtforms come from emotional projections from others — such as envy, hatred or resentment — and these energies can easily attach on you if you carry similar emotions inside.
This is why Chakra Readings and Relationship Readings are so revealing. They show not only what energies are in your field, but also where your own beliefs and emotions are sustaining them. Once the internal pattern is cleared, the external projection loses its grip.

What “Energy Protection” Really Means

Real energy shielding is not about fighting what is trying to get into your field, energy protection is about alignment. When your inner field becomes coherent, lower vibrations can’t hook in the same way. They simply don’t find the link to attach on you.

That’s why spiritual practices focused only on “energy shielding” can be exhausting. You might feel temporarily safe, but the moment your energy dips or life gets stressful, the same patterns return. Protection that relies on constant vigilance is still fear-based. True protection is built on authenticity, awareness, and energetic balance. Supportive tools like a shield of protection affirmation can help you hold that alignment while you clear the deeper patterns within you.

Dealing With Energy Blocks and “Back Doors”

During Aura Cleansing or Akashic Records readings, I often find what I call “back doors” or “openings”. These are energetic weak spots that allow external energies to affect a person’s state and can come from:

Unhealed trauma that keeps a chakra misaligned or blocked
Ancestral vows or karmic contracts that bind energy in outdated agreements
Soul fragmentation from shock or deep emotional pain

Each of these issues and their associated energy blocks, limit your ability to hold full energetic coherence. Think of your aura like a symphony and when all instruments are in tune, it sounds good. But when one plays off-key, dissonance invites interference.

A Higher Approach to Energy Protection

Empaths and sensitives don’t need to live defensively. The more consciously you live, the more self-regulated your energy becomes. Life brings challenges and you will be influenced by them but it means you can return to balance much faster.

A person isn’t only shielded by walls of light. A person is protected by the integrity of their consciousness. When your energy field is anchored in love, self-respect and abundance, it naturally repels lower frequencies, much like how noise-cancelling headphones neutralize unwanted sound.

How to Strengthen Your Energy Field

Address your energy blockages. Work through unresolved trauma, ancestral patterns and karmic burdens. This removes the roots of a lot of energetic openings.
Cleanse regularly. Salt baths, sound baths, breathwork, or Reiki can help maintain clarity in your field.
Stay grounded. Connect to your body and nature. Grounded energy is far harder to manipulate. With grounding you can release foreign energies.
Hold compassionate awareness. Don’t label every heavy feeling as an attack. Sometimes your own emotions are simply surfacing for integration and release.
Seek help when needed. Sometimes energy work, Akashic Records readings, Reiki, or aura cleansing can help close lingering openings and restore harmony. I can assist you with all the above plus I can create your own shield of protection.

Final Thoughts on Energy Shielding and Psychic Attacks

Energy protection begins when self-awareness deepens. The more you understand your own field, the less you fear others’ influence. Healing your energetic imprints, ancestral wounds, and past life karma is spiritual hygiene and self-liberation. True energetic sovereignty comes from remembering that your aura knows exactly how to hold itself.

I can also create personalised shield of protection tailored to your own energy. When I tune into your field, I can design a shield that works with your natural energy that helps you strengthen your field. A personalised shield won’t stop every influence, but it can help you stay centred while you work through the deeper causes.
