Are You Under Spiritual Attack? How to Recognise the Signs and Protect Yourself | Lesca Crystals

We all go through phases of low energy, tension, or restlessness — but sometimes, there’s more at play. When your spirit feels under pressure, heavy, or unbalanced, it may be due to a spiritual attack — a disturbance in your energetic field caused by external negativity or internal imbalances.

The good news? You don’t need to stay in that space. With conscious tools and practices like crystals, sound healing, smudging, and more, you can clear away unwanted energy and reclaim your personal power.

What Is a Spiritual Attack?

A spiritual attack isn't about fear — it's about energy. It’s when negative forces, thought forms, or environments disrupt your natural vibration. This can affect your emotions, physical body, and clarity of mind. Spiritual attacks can be intentional or simply energetic “clutter” picked up through life.

Common Signs You’re Under Spiritual Attack

• Sudden fatigue or brain fog

• Feeling anxious or “off” for no clear reason

• Repeating negative thoughts or emotional outbursts

• Nightmares or sleep disturbances

• Feeling watched, drained, or emotionally invaded

• Your spiritual tools/plants/electronics start acting up

• Energetic "heaviness" in your body or home

How to Protect and Reclaim Your Energy

Below are some powerful methods you can use on their own or in combination to cleanse, shield, and strengthen your spiritual energy:

1. Crystals for Spiritual Protection

Crystals hold stable, natural vibrations that help realign and protect your energy. You can wear them as jewellery, sleep with them near you, or place them at your entryways.

Top protective crystals:

• Black Tourmaline – One of the strongest protectors against psychic and energetic attack. Grounds and neutralises, absorbs and repels negative energy. Pro tip: Place black tourmaline in the corners of a room or home for protection from negative energies.

• Labradorite – Shields your aura and strengthens intuition, making it easier to sense and avoid negative energy. Pro tip: Wear Labradorite jewllery during meditation or energy healing sessions to enhance your protection and intuition.

• Obsidian – Cuts energetic cords and offers strong, deep protection, especially after emotional trauma. Also shields the spirit. Pro tip: Carry obsidian in your pocket when visiting crowded places to stay grounded and protected.

• Clear Quartz – Amplifies any protective or clearing intention, and helps realign your energy.

• Fluorite – Shields from psychic interference and electromagnetic pollution. Brings focus and mental clarity.

• Amethyst – Offers psychic protection, enhances clarity and transmutes negativity into higher vibrations. Pro tip: Keep a piece of Amethyst on your nightstand or under your pillow to prevent bad dreams.

• Shungite – Known for EMF protection and detoxification. Helps form a protective field around your energy. Pro tip: Place Shungite near your front door or beside electronics to keep negative energy and EMF at bay.

• Selenite – Clears stagnant energy instantly. Ideal for your aura, home, and to recharge other crystals. Place selenite wands along windows or doorways to prevent negative energy from entering.

• Smoky Quartz – Gently grounds your energy and neutralises low vibrations, fear, and confusion.

• Seashell (natural or polished) – Holds gentle protective energy from the ocean. Helps absorb negativity and soothe emotions.

• Black Spinel – A lesser-known powerhouse for repelling negativity, especially from others’ intentions. Supports inner strength and clarity.

Ways to use protective crystals:

Wear, hold or carry:

• As jewellery (necklace, bracelet, anklet earrings or ring for energetic support throughout the day.

• Put them in your pocket If you have several then add to a small bag, place bag in your pocket or pin to clothing.

• Carry a talisman or amulet such as a keyring, pin or hair accessory.

• Meditating with protection crystals deepens you practice and strengthens your aura.

Add to your environment:

• Use a statement piece in your home or office.

• Place a specimen on your desk, or in your desk drawer.

• Keep on your nightstand, under your pillow or bed head.

• Use an amulet in your car.

• Add to your crystal altar.

• Create a mini crystal grid by placing protection stones in a circle around your bed or meditation space.

• Create a crystal spray to mist yourself when you need it most.

2. Sound Healing for Vibrational Reset

Sound heals on a deep cellular and energetic level. It helps dislodge stagnant energy and restore balance.

Recommended Tools:

• Tuning forks and singing bowls

• Solfeggio Frequencies (528 Hz for healing, 741 Hz for detoxing)

• Drumming or rhythmic rattles

• Chanting mantras (e.g., “Om”, “Protect Me”, or sacred affirmations)

Listen to curated sound healing playlists or attend a sound bath for deeper alignment.

3. Smudging to Clear Your Space

Smudging clears low vibrational energies and invites peace and clarity. Smudge regularly if you see clients, use electronics often, or live in a shared space.

Smudging Options:

• White Sage – Clears and purifies deeply.

• Palo Santo – Invites peace and uplifts energy.

• Rosemary or Mugwort – Great for protection and intuition.

• Incense (Frankincense or Myrrh) – Used for centuries in spiritual defence.

4. Salt Baths to Cleanse the Aura (or a swim/soak in the ocean)

Salt has long been used to absorb and clear negative energy.

How to Make a Spiritual Bath:

• Add 1–2 cups of sea salt or Epsom salt to warm water.

• Mix in a few drops of essential oils like lavender, rosemary, or sage.

• Optional: Add crystals near the tub (e.g., Amethyst or Rose Quartz — avoid placing directly in water unless water-safe).

• Soak for 20 minutes while visualising your energy field being restored and cleansed

No bathtub? Try a salt foot soak or a salt body scrub in the shower.

If you have access to the ocean or a salt water pool:

• A swim works just fine.
• If it's too cold then a stroll through the waves hitting shore will work too.

5. Visualisation and Energy Shielding

The mind is a powerful tool. Visualisation can create energetic boundaries and repel unwanted influence.

Simple Energy Shield Exercise:

1. Sit quietly, breathe deeply.

2. Visualise a glowing white or golden light radiating from your heart or crown.

3. See this light expanding until it forms a strong protective bubble all the way around you.

4. Affirm: “I am protected. My energy is my own. Only love and light may enter.”

Repeat this in the morning or before entering crowded spaces.

6. Strengthen Your Spiritual Boundaries

Spiritual attacks often slip in when our boundaries are blurred or weak. This could be from overgiving, unexpressed emotions, or spending too much time in draining environments.

Ways to Reclaim Boundaries:

• Say “no” without guilt

• Protect your energy online as well as offline

• Avoid gossip, drama, and fear-based media

• Spend time in nature to re-ground and recharge

• Journal your emotions and release attachments that no longer serve you

Tip: Cord-cutting meditations can help release energy connections to people or past events.
