Rituals like praying, candles, taking salt baths, burning sage, can help if you feel empowered by them.  (I've done them all    hehe..)  As a defense.., depending on the power level of your unwanted guest, and his stubbornness they can also be ineffective, and if your pouring your thoughts (Energy) or doing them in FEAR without your goal being granted in mind, you could strengthen the connection between you and this ghost/astral hijacker.  Rituals can put you in the "Mindset" to defend yourself, but don't get discouraged if they only work for a short time.  Your "Mindset" will determine your victory.  Stay away from the "feelings" of helplessness! Try to keep you energy levels high.  When you feel this entity starting to exchange energy with you, say No.., stop.  And move away, studder/break the connection if you can, rather than accepting it.  This is not a High emotional "NO!  STOP!, it is simply a Disconnected, "No.., I don't care for this, go away".  Then give this entity no more thought, don't think about him at all, as though he was a fly that you brushed away from you.  If your lucky he'll eventually get the message and stop bothering you, and go away on his own.  If your giving him no Energy, he has little reason to stay.  An entity that is waking you up, making you feel invaded is Draining your energy.  Depriving you of sleep will make you moody, tired at work, and put you in a more prone position for depression and greater attack.  I used ear plugs to get some sleep from my attacker when he was waking me up, doesn't work every single time, but it can help you get your rest.  Finally, there is a reason for this.  Finding out why, can really help.  For now, just Disconnect yourself from your fear about it.  It's just another part of life.  

The Universe is calling to you, what are you not facing?

The left side is typically where you feel it, when your energy is being drained as well.

Good Article!..

I found this article; it was very hard to read, in its original presentation, though I found it to be very interesting and well written. I feel it gives a good round about view of the inner workings of psychic attacks whether they be of human origin or astral. Hopefully here, reaching a wider range of people, it will be of help.  I don't know who the true author is, but they have my thanks and compliments.
******************************************************************

Just mentioning these words makes some people cringe. What is a psychic
attack? It is the assault upon your aura, without your conscious
permission, by another person, place, thing or group. It will leave you feeling
open, exposed, vulnerable and sometimes, a sense of danger and an anxiety or
panic attack. I say 'conscious' because on a subconscious base within
ourselves, we have fears--those things we haven't worked through or with, and have
yet to integrated into ourselves. So long as they remain unintegrated, they
expose us and leave us open, aurically speaking, to someone assaulting
our aura and draining us of Prana, a life-giving energy.
In my business as a shaman, I've been exposed to just about every kind
of psychic attack, whether by an individual or a group. What I share with
you here are my experiences. That is not to say I know everything, because
I do not. Nor do I know all the different methodologies of protecting one's
self, either. What I do know, is contained here in the article.

So, let's get back to this fear thing. All the attacks I've
experienced over the years were necessary in order to rid me of the one thing that
could get me killed out there in non ordinary reality: FEAR. You can't
be a working shaman and be afraid.

At the root of any psychic attack upon any person, it is designed to
"hot button" our fear. It could be fear of the unknown. Fear of being
controlled by another person. Fear of being hurt. Fear of being killed. There are
many fears out there, but the basic, underlying theme to why psychic attack
works is because of our fear.

WHO'S DOING THE PSYCHIC ATTACKING?

Usually, a person doesn't even know they are attacking you. This is
the unconscious kind of psychic attack. And then, there's those who do it
on purpose and consciously. In either situation, you can confront them
and tell them that they are draining you of energy and to stop it at once.

Often, in dysfunctional family dynamics, we see prana-guzzling from a
parent to a child or vice-versa. This is where pieces get taken from
everyone involved in this psychic dance of unhealthy patterns.

It can be a co-worker where you have your job. Or your boss. It could
be the type of job you're in, such as a nurse in a hospital, a police
person, a firefighter or any activity where there's high drama linked with
life-death situations.

Or, it's someone who doesn't like you--and you may or may not know it.
Many of us are sensitive to being disliked. I think we'd all like to think
we're liked by everyone--but that's not the reality of the world and how it
operates. Inevitably, we all make enemies by simply being alive and
breathing. It's not that we have to do something terribly wrong to
earn them, either. Some of us, more than others, accrue more enemies. And
not everyone is going to be overjoyed over our decision making process,
either. Just by standing your ground and staying in your own, personal
balance, can make people angry at you. You can be attacked just because you're
breathing. The key here is: don't take it personally.

Cop an attitude that you know not everyone is going to agree with you.
If you can shift yourself into detaching (zen-like) emotionally from
those who don't like you (and never will), then you are stopping the giving or
frittering away your energy to them. You can literally, bleed yourself
dry over an issue, person, circumstance--and you're hemorrhaging yourself!
They aren't doing it for you--you are shooting yourself, quite literally,
into your own foot! Most of us do this--usually when we're younger and less
often as we mature. And over time and years, we "get it" and stop it
and rise above these situations so we don't take a pound of our own flesh.

It's easy to say: well, get rid of your fear and you can't be
attacked. Most of us spend a lifetime working through our fears and releasing
them. And even if we do--we can still get attacked! You can lower your fear
barrier or even expunge it from yourself forever, but that doesn't
mean you won't or can't be attacked by a person or group.

And when or if this happens, it won't knock you over--unless it's a
group after you, and then, you're probably going to have to call in some
help. But more on that later.

Let's look at some of the WARNING SIGNS of being psychically attacked:

1. Tiredness. Fatigue. Because an individual or group is putting an
invisible "gasoline hose" into your aura and pumping out your pranic
energy, you are going to have less available to you than before.
Without prana, there is no energy available.
If you suddenly become very tired, even weak feeling when you're with
a particular person, in a particular room or place, this is a sign that
you're being drained of pranic energy from your aura.

2. Tiredness or a feeling of absolute weakness or fatigue that occurs
at a certain time of the day, almost like clockwork.
I know people who routinely have a schedule for tapping into other
person's aura at a specific time of the day or night. Generally speaking, we
all get a little lackluster between 2pm and 4pm every day--this is known in
biology as the "post prandial dip" and it is a metabolism phenomena associated
with all human beings. We all do this, every day, almost without exception.
This is NOT psychic attack.
If your cyclic or periodical tiredness suddenly avalanches you at any
other time other than the above, then a psychic attack may be occurring.

3. Headache. After being with a person, in a stressful situation, or
place, and you suddenly develop a headache out of it, this can be draining of
your energy taking place. And interestingly enough, when you get away from
this person, your headache goes away!

4. Drained feeling. You can spend five minutes with this predator and
walk away on weak knees and feel as if you are going to have to crawl to
your car or home. You can barely walk upright. When this happens, it
usually takes a couple of hours or a good night's sleep, to recover from it.

5. Nightmares. If you usually don't have nightmares and suddenly, you
begin to have some of whatever you fear chasing you and trying to kill you,
this could be an attack. But you need to be sure about this, because there
could be another reason for it occurring. From time to time, our
subconscious wants to get our attention about our Shadow material that we're not
integrating into ourselves and it is emotions that remain in a
suppression/repression or denial form, and it will start sending us
"shadow" dreams.
Shadow dreams are always chase dreams where you're being chased and
attack by either a known or unknown entity. The one thing you know in this
dream is that if you let him/it/her catch you, you're dead. So, in these
dreams, you are constantly dodging, ducking, running and hiding. You need to
ask yourself what is presently going on in your life that you're not
facing.
You need to assess which of these two things are going on in your
life. Most nightmares are NOT about psychic attack.

6. Icy cold feeling physically on some part, or all of your body. When
your aura is being drained, you can physically feel like you're freezing.

7. A clenched knot feeling in your stomach/solar plexus area. If you
walk into someplace and your solar plexus snaps shut when a particular
person approaches you; beware. You are being given warning that this person
is dangerous to you. Our solar plexus is the seat of our
fears/anxieties/repression and suppression. It is where our Shadow
contents reside. When you get this gut-clench feeling, play head's up football,
pay attention and stay alert. If you feel suddenly weak or shaky, get away
from this person or activity.

8. Anxiety and Panic Attacks. Many times, we get drained and siphoned
from and don't even realize it until much later. The reaction then becomes
an anxiety reaction or sometimes, a full blown panic attack because on a
subconscious level, you are reacting to the assault like any normal
person would. If you have such a symptom, then think back several hours or
1-2 days before and carefully go over who you met, where you were at and
try to pinpoint the possible psychic attack.

9. Depression. Long term psychic attacks by an individual or group
that does this cyclically for weeks or months on end, can end up making you
feel morose, sad, hopeless, listless and like life isn't worth living at
all. This is a serious attack and will need serious help in the form of a
shaman to catalyze the break-up of energy and disconnecting the lines from
your aura. Afterward, your "old jaunty self" will return.

10. Suicidal. Long term psychic attack can literally drain a person of
so much pranic energy that all they thinking or know is that they are
dying--because they are dying a little each day. It's no wonder the
person becomes suicidal or has thoughts of leaving--because they are dying an
inch at a time through the machinations of another or others. When a lot of
your pranic energy is sucked out of you continually, death can occur. That,
or your health is wrecked.

11. Shaking and trembling. This reaction usually occurs during or
after an attack. The person may or may not realize why s/he's suddenly shaking.
From a subconscious level, where the assault is realized, this is a
perfectly normal reaction because, whether you knew it or not, your adrenaline
is flowing high and fast--the "fight or flight" hormones. A part of you
wants to run. Usually, in this type of situation, you don't connect
consciously with what is really going on subliminally between you and the psychic
assaulter--until later.

12. Pessimism. If you are normally an optimistic or idealistic person
and your thoughts suddenly turn rancidly pessimistic, hopeless, angry,
irritated, impatient, then you need to understand that this isn't the
'real' you, but you are reacting to something that you may not
consciously realize that is going on. During long term attacks, a person can
literally, change personality from a sunny, extrovert person to a moody, morose,
depressed, negative individual--but it happens over a number of weeks
or months and they really don't see it happening. It is usually brought
to their attention by the spouse or family members.

13. Loss of Confidence. If you were once a fairly confident
individual, but over weeks or months of time, it is eroded way from you until you feel
like a scared, vulnerable little rabbit out there in the Big, Bad World,
then someone may, indeed, be chipping away at you--psychically.

14. Victim Mentality. A person gets into this state when they were
never in one....but over a period of weeks or months during a long-term psychic
attack--they begin to feel hopeless and helpless. They can literally
"freeze", like a deer in headlights, and cannot help themselves out of
this inner immobility. Many times, this person must 'hit bottom' on this
and what will save them is themselves when they get angry enough to fight
back. The anger, used in a positive sense here, snaps and breaks the lines
between yourself and the psychic attacker.

14. Health problems. A specific organ of the body is chosen and energy
is sent in, like a sledge hammer, to shut it (and the chakra) down once
and for all. Usually, if the person or group mean business (to kill you),
they target your heart to create a heart attack. If it doesn't work, and
you're getting protection, it may end up as lung congestion, bronchitis, or
pneumonia. It can also be any organ in the body. If it was working
fine and you suddenly get assaultive pain with it, on and off, for "no reason",
then you need to see your doctor. If the doc gives you a bill of good
health, then think about being under psychic attack.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

It has been mine, and many other shaman's experiences that when a
person comes to us and tells us they've been under attack for years or
decades, that what we're really dealing with is a person who is potentially
schizophrenic or who has suffered a chronic psychotic break from
reality. They are right: they are under attack. Usually by the "garbage levels"
of the astral plane. What they see and hear is real. If this individual
does not get psychotherapy, SR/E and homeopathic treatment, they probably
will never resolve this issue this lifetime. At least, that is my
observation and experience.

These people, bless them, have spent a lot of money and time on many
different healers, psychics and shamans trying to get help--but in the
end, it all fails. No one can help them--at least, not on the clairvoyant
end of the stick. This requires some hard reality work coupled with energy
medicine. And even then, it may not be enough. My experience is that
these individuals are taking on such a lifetime to learn something from it
and it's not to be changed or altered from what it is.

ADDRESSING OUR FEAR--THE FIRST STEP IN FREEING OURSELVES FROM PSYCHIC
ATTACK

All of us, myself included, have fears. There isn't any among us who
don't. The only question is: Is the fear running you/your life, or not? If it
is, then you are open to psychic attack. You need to list your fears.
Don't be shy about this. Look at what you fear. And ask yourself why do you
fear it? Many times, our fears are based upon our childhood, or a particular
experience, or a parent who had a lot of fears that they passed onto
us.

Fear leaves us open to be plucked like a ripe watermelon by those
individuals who just delight in sucking us dry of our prana, our right
to live and to exist. We have no one to blame but ourselves. After all,
it is OUR fear--not there's--that leaves us open and feeling vulnerable.
They're just being opportunists, is all.

Fear can be dealt with many ways. Here's a short list of possible
"tools" that you can pick up and use that will be life-altering. These are
>modalities that deal with the chronic situation:

1. Psychotherapy. A good therapist is worth their weight in gold. If
you have the money, this is a good avenue to explore because most of our
fears are childhood-based.

2. Constitutional homeopathic treatment. I have seen people frozen by
irrational fears completely lose them when the correct remedy was
given to them. A homeopathic remedy can break off and stop a psychic attack by
a person or group.

3. Soul Recovery and Extraction. If you have lost pieces of yourself,
then there are "holes" in your aura as a result. These holes like to be
filled with astral garbage that does nothing but make our life hell, fill our
dreams with terror, and make us feel anxious or panicked. A
facilitator can bring back those pieces and you can integrate them. When these 'holes'
are filled, you will no longer be open or vulnerable to attacks.

OTHER TOOLS FOR ACUTE SITUATIONS

None of us go into work, travel or meet people with the expectation
that they are going to psychically attack us. But it happens all the time.
Sometimes, your job is of an environment that breeds negativity and
stress. Or there's a particular person you work with that this occurs with.
Or, you've got relationship problems and one partner is the psychic
attacker (whether s/he knows it or not--and usually, they don't). Or, you're at
a convention and you must sit with a person who is literally sucking you
dry. The scenarios are endless; but I think you understand that a psychic
attack can happen to any of us, any where. So, we must be aware and be
prepared. Here are some "acute" tools that I have used in the past, and
sometimes, even use now, when I find myself in just such a pickle:

1. Saranwrap. I know, most people take a second look at this, but I
mean it. Whenever I go on the road and have to give seminars or talks, I
always pack my trusty Saranwrap! It is three sheets or layers, one on top of
the other. I tuck it beneath my bra so that it hangs over and covers my
solar plexus (the area just below where your breastbone or sternum ends to
your tummy button).

If I get into a seminar where I feel instant draining, and I don't
have time to do anything about it because my attention is too scattered and
pulled and I can't focus like I need to, then I excuse myself and go
slap on my Saranwrap and there's a happy ending. The only bad thing about
this is: you'll sweat like a pig beneath it. Bummer.

2. Ask your Spirit Guide for protection. I know this sounds so simple
and logical. And it is. But you know what? How many of us forget to ask? I
do this all the time. And then I could kick myself. When I do remember
it, I simply ask my spirit guides to "let there be a positive and reciprocal
energy between me and everyone."

3. Black Tourmaline taped to your solar plexus. Yup, this works
wonders. Seen it in action many times and I've used it myself upon occasion.
Black Tourmaline is one of the top gemstones for protection against psychic
attack. By taping it right on your stomach region with a piece of
tape, it will send the energy right back at the sender and leave you alone.
This stops fear/anxiety/panic instantly. It works wonders. I have had
people, who have been psychically attacked in the dream state put a couple of
Black Tourmaline in their pillow case where they lay their head while the
sleep--and no more nightmares or bad dreams.
You can also do this a little less obviously and wear black tourmaline
on your LEFT side. The left is where the assault comes into your aura.

4. Jasper, Agate and Turquoise. These are three other gemstones that
are used continually by Native Americans during ceremonies to protect
themselves. When we work in ceremony, we're wide open, so to speak. We
may wear a necklace of one of these stones, or place one of them into our
LEFT pocket.

5. Visualizing white or gold light around you. If you have time, focus
and intensity of thought, you can close your eyes and see this ball of
white/gold light hovering over your head and then spilling down in an
egg shape all around you. Make SURE you visualize the color coming beneath
your feet and sealing up. If you make the mistake of not including the
soles of your feet, you're still wide open for attack.

6. Prayer. This is very simple, but very effective. Ask for help from
those that you believe in. In asking, you are changing the dynamic. And pray
with focus and intent.

7. Flower and gem essences. Some are very protective. If you are
having nightmares, then Crested Prickle Poppy is what you want to consider.
If you are in a highly stressful environment, then consider Black Tourmaline.
By ingesting it, it is just like taping on a small pieces of the stone to
your solar plexus/stomach region!

9. Yoga exercises. Correct breathing and the postures assumed in yoga
actually stimulate and clean out your chakras. By simply doing this,
you are ahead of the game. If your chakras are up and working, that is a
powerful protection in the first place.

WHEN YOU ARE ATTACKED BY A GROUP

I've had this done to me more times than I care to remember. And at
those times, I asked for help--not only from my spirit guides, but I dug
into my own nest of fears and began to work on my own dirt. I also asked for
help from my friends, other shamanic facilitators, whom I trusted and knew
could protect me.

Group assaults are usually about power struggles; one party envies, is
jealous of, power over you, or wants to get even with, another party.
Most people will not have to experience this, but if you're a shaman or
working heavily in the metaphysical areas, then it's more likely to occur. The
key is to know what to do about it and once you realize what is happening,
call in the troops from both sides of the tracks!

The key to what I've learned from all these dumb, stupid attacks by
others is that I must force myself to rise above and move into a state of
complete, pure compassion toward them. When I do this sincerely, and
on an emotional level and send pure love to them, they can't stand it and
they stop the attack. They've certainly been great teachers. But I didn't
do this alone: I had help from the Other Side from my spirit guides, and
from friends and family on this side, too. It was a team effort. When you
get in trouble: you ask--a lot.

Love is the greatest healer and your greatest protector against
psychic attack. A love of yourself, first. You must love yourself, warts and
all. No one's perfect; none of us ever will be in this human body. Learning
to accept yourself for what you are and are not is the first, big step in
this process. Eventually, with time, trials and experience, you will
understand the term, "active compassion" and be able to apply it to others and
groups. It gives you the emotional detachment necessary. I have found that
loving one's enemy is the finest choice one can make. They might send you
destructive energy, but when it meets the energy of love; it
completely dissipates it. Hate cannot destroy love; just the opposite.

Then, identifying your fears and understanding them in the context of
you much more than you did before, is another step of progress on this
ladder of selfhood.

WHAT NEXT?

I'm sure I've left something out, or something unsaid. This article is
"food-for-thought" to catalyze you into looking at yourself more and
perhaps, doing something about it. We can't blame others. We can only
look at ourselves, our weaknesses, our blocks of fear, and use the
experience to try and gain insight into ourselves and hopefully, begin healing it
and ourselves.

aviar, it's probably not the best advice to listen to any energy form or spirit off the street.  Just because this entity told you it was a past life doesn't mean it was.  It could be wrong, or lying to you.  It's probably better to take it at face value and what You feel it was.  The astral is like the wild west, a fun place to go, but keep you wits about you.  The last time I wrestled with a form on the other side I got neg attached to me.

Ewok, I've got to agree with Tayesin, You need to let them go.  I had the same problem a few years  back with this person.  People can attack you without being psychically adept, because we are all psychic so to speak, thought is energy, and it is instantanuiosly transmitted.  It really seems like they got into your energy, especially John. This might help, it helped me, an old psychic showed me this trick:

1) Write both of their names on a piece of paper.
2) Below their names write "With Love And Light I   Release You".
3)Sign It.
3) Fold it up, put it in a small container full of water
and put it in the freezer.

The spell will empower you to let them go, and freeze them, think about this with a smile on your face when they try to creep back in again.

You will eventually have to face this, but you can freeze it in time, untill your ready to deal with it.  Works for a good 3 months, throw away and repeat if you need to.

I think negs are capable of evolving like we are, the one that's been around me for many years now, has evolved with it's attacks.  The attacks are purely energy attacks, like that of a child wanting attention.  Do you notice the people everyday in the physical world doing the same kinds of energy attacks?  Almost all of them are totally unaware they are attacking you.  And how long was it before you noticed you were doing it too?  Or do you ever catch yourself doing it?  All negs know, is there is something they need- energy.  I think that most negs have never been human or are lower forms of energy evolving, like animals for instance.  I also think that their evolution and ours are important for both of us, as much as I hate to say that.  I wonder if we started where they are at, and are now only aware.

"Need"- your nick in itself screams victim.  The first thing you must do is stop feeling sorry for yourself, this only disempowers you and makes things worse.  In the state of mind your in, wolves will take advantage of you.  In life people will take advantage of you and try to hurt you whether your in a positive state or a negative one, thats just the way it is, but when your in a negative state of mind, they smell blood, your easy prey.  Not only those in the physical but also those in the etherial.  I have myself sought advice in the land of the psychic when I had real issues, only to find myself being robbed of my money, and more of my sanity.  It's an easy mistake to make, so don't feel bad!  YOU are the ONLY person that can empower negative conjurings people direct at you, and YOU are the ONLY Person that can destroy the one's YOU have already accepted.  I have found that Faith is the most powerful force there is.  What I mean is if YOU believe something bad is going to happen you draw those results to you, however the opposite is also TRUE.  Try it.  Practice it, live in it.  And if you need help, expect good help.  Seeing a couselor might be in order to resolve some of you past issues.  This doesn't mean your crazy, and if it does, we can be crazy together.
