Energy Body Development and Psychic Attack

[Rastus]

Developing yourself metaphysically can make you more sensitive to emotions, and more empathetic.  You should be able to pick up on peoples feelings more (trust your hunches more).  So, basically you may be picking up on what was always there.  Just like turning off the lights, it takes some time for your eyes to adjust and see what was there before you turned off the lights; then so now you metaphysically picking up on what was there before.

There are numerous ways to metaphysically defend yourself, but is there a need.  The other person hasn't changed, only you, now that you're aware of what they are about.  Look here: http://www.astralpulse.com/magick/nita/nita_1.htm  for an excerpt on basic defenses.

Hi Suzie,

I agree with Rastus that you're extra senses are becoming more heightened as a result of exercising your energy body. You are becoming more aware of the energies around you, including the energies that emminate from peoples emotional states.

The only time you really need to worry about psychic attack after energy work is if you do too much too quickly.

We all have a very dense portion of our aura that has been referred to as the "atomic shield". This shield sits just on the outside of our etheric body aura - the part of the aura closest to our physical body.

This atomic shield, as well as our aura in general, provide us with a natural protection against the unwanted psychic energies around us, much the same way as the Earth's atmosphere and magnetic field protects the Earth from radiation.

Too much or too rapid an expansion of the energy body, which usually only comes from pushing energy or psychic development work too far, can stretch the aura and atomic shield to the point where you can get a tear in your aura. This tear can then leave you open to unwanted energies around you.

The other thing that can cause this tear is doing a lot of energy work when your physically unwell, as your aura is typically weak at this time.

Think about doing energy work in the same way as you would do physical exercise. If you go out and try to run a marathon with no preparation, you're going to injure yourself. If you take it one step at a time, and build up your strength and endurance over a period of time, you'll be able to run that marathon and still feel healthy afterwards.

Probably more info than you were looking for at the moment, but I feel its something people new to energy work should be aware of.

Hope it helps.

I have been using the NEW system for a week now, trying to develop my energy body as much as I can. Don't ask how I have come to this conclusion - gut feeling I guess, but I feel that it's a possibility that the new openings in my energy body are making me susceptible to psychic attack from a friend. She often tells me she is jealous of me, but it's not flattering, it makes me feel icky. She is quite unhappy with her life and envious of mine. I have started feeling resentment towards her for no particular reason, and I want to avoid her, even though I haven't seen her much lately. I also feel quite irritable and not myself.
Is it possible that someone else's jealousy could effect me in this way, due to developing my energy body? If so, are there ways I can protect myself?

Thanks
