 When
I first began my journey of developing my latent psychic abilities at 16
years old, I very quickly learned that one must learn psychic defense
before ever exploring the realm of psychic phenomena. There have been
experiences I have seen that have only reaffirmed the importance of this
simple exercise and, given the investigations we've had of late, I
thought an article assisting all of our investigators regarding this
would be beneficial.
Of course, one who is new to the investigation field or a skeptic may
scoff at the idea of psychic defense, feeling that there is no proof
that an entity can get inside of a person's mind. I cannot stress
strongly enough that this can...and does...happen. Just as it is
important to wear appropriate clothes and to watch your step while
carrying equipment, protecting your mind should be a requirement. Given
that we are dealing with the unexplored and unexpected, we should take
control of what we know we have control over.
Psychic defense can be initiated in many ways and should be according to
your belief system. You can call on Jesus, Buddha, angels, the God and
Goddess or any myriad of saints to defend and protect you. One effective
method is to visualize white light around you like a protective egg
shell and requesting your chosen patron to guard you throughout the
investigation. This can be further supported by wearing a religious
piece of jewelry or anything that supports your protection beliefs. Once
the mental imagery has been used, many paths seal the request of
protection by smudging with sage, Sweetgrass or incense. This can help
because it pulls in the sense of smell for your protective experience.
The human will is very strong so if you enter a dark space with the
mindset that you are strong, nothing will be able to enter you. However,
if you are a person with a great deal of personal drama, issues and
weakness, you will be putting not only yourself but your team members in
danger. Dark entities will try to corrupt the weakest link- the person
with the weakest emotional and physical status. Why would they want to
attack someone that would be a challenge? This is why it is crucial to
have an investigative team that is emotionally, mentally and physically
solid. One weak person can create havoc for all.
Another important aspect of psychic defense is to know your own limits.
Never, ever, EVER invite an entity into you unless you have been
educated on how to defend or cast out the entity. Possession is a very
real thing and if you do not know how to always have the psychic upper
hand, you should NOT dabble in psychic action. In investigations,
sometimes I will invite an entity into me partially because I'm trying
to get to their Core Purpose. However, as "out of it," as I may seem at
times, I ALWAYS have the psychic upper hand and could cast it out if
necessary. I like to push the limits and often lose the time passing by,
but I never let an entity take me over or even take over my voice (
which they try to do). I never give them any control, only openness of
myself to get them to show me what we need to know to get rid of them.
Dark entities will shroud themselves as beings of light to lure you into
a false sense of security. If you do not know the signs of a "fake"
light being, again, do not dabble in psychic action. Opening one's self
without a method of protection can lead to physical, emotional and
mental breakdowns.
Finally, the importance of all of this can be seen in the long standing
stigma of the Ouija board. How many of us have heard about someone's
friend's cousin's sister being possessed by a Ouija board? The truth is,
a Ouija board is simply a board, but people who do not use use
protection have opened themselves to the board for years. The danger
isn't the board; it is the people using it!! By making your mind wide
open with a divination tool, you are allowing anything that wants to
invade you to do so. In investigations, the situation is no different
because entities know our intention and, thus, we are naturally open to
them.... EVEN the skeptics are open!
Please, as a ritual for getting ready for an investigation, take a
moment to protect yourself psychically. If you are willing to make the
extra effort to put on your seatbelt when you drive, so should you take
the extra time to ask for protection from Darkness.
