Hexes, Curses and Psychic Attacks: A Guide for Energy Healers and Reiki Practitioners
In the world of energy healing, knowledgeable Reiki practitioners, masters, and teachers know that it’s not all love and light. We also know that hexes, curses, and psychic attacks can affect us if we are not consistently cleansing, balancing, and grounding our energy. This helps us to maintain a harmonious and positive environment for ourselves and our clients. This article will delve into the concepts of hexes, curses, and general psychic attacks, discussing what they are, why one might consider using them, and the potential consequences. Additionally, we will explore methods for protection against these harmful energies.
Understanding Hexes, Curses, and Psychic Attacks
Hexes, curses, and psychic attacks can be sent to you from another person, entity, or spirit. You can even bring them upon yourself. Do not worry; you can remove them and protect yourself from them. We’ll talk about this later on in the article. First, let’s break down what they are.
Hexes
A hex is a type of harmful spell cast with the intention of causing bad luck, misfortune, or harm to the target. Hexes often use the power of intention and energy manipulation to influence the victim’s circumstances in a negative way. Hexes aren’t quite as strong as curses and most likely won’t last as long.
Curses
Curses are a more severe form of a spiritual attack. They are intended to bring harm or massive life suffering to the target. Curses can be deeply rooted and may persist over time. They can involve invoking negative spirits or entities to carry out the harm. They can also last a lot longer, even through lifetimes and generations. We can also curse ourselves by staying in low vibrations and repetitive thought patterns for long periods of time.
Psychic Attacks
Psychic attacks disrupt, harm, or inflict suffering upon a person's mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. These attacks can embed deeply into our energetic field and cause anxiety, stress, and nightmares. We might feel like someone is watching us or lurking over our shoulder. Or, maybe we feel like we’re in constant distress and chaos.
What’s fascinating about all of this is if you are an energy healer, witch, magick worker, or Reiki practitioner, more often than not, you have the power to remove and protect your clients from things like this.
Reasons Some Might Perform Hexes, Curses, and Psychic Attacks
Let me start by saying there is a karmic debt for everything we do. Energy healers and magick workers know this. Energy will eventually balance itself out, whether in this lifetime or another. This karmic debt may even be passed down to the next generations. Therefore, it's never recommended to cast a negative spiritual attack unless absolutely necessary for the safety of yourself or a loved one and the caster better be comfortable and willing to deal with any consequences that result from it. Is it worth it? Is there a deep enough justice to send that kind of energy out into the universe? Only the caster can decide that. At the end of the day, these types of attacks should be used as an absolute last resort. But there are always those who might send something your way out of a low vibrational thought or mindset. Here are some reasons one might choose to use these methods:
Self-Defense: Individuals may need to protect themselves when faced with malicious intentions or persistent negative energies. These types of spells, believe it or not, can serve as a means of self-defense, shielding oneself from harm. Are there better ways, I believe so but that doesn't mean there aren't some out there who would use a negative energy attack in this way.
Protection of Loved Ones: Sometimes, the desire to protect loved ones from harm or negative influences can lead to considering these types of spells. Some may use such spells with the intention of creating a protective barrier around their friends and family. For example, if energetically attacked, the negative attack bounces back and latches onto the person or entity who sent it. Or, another example is if someone has a loved one getting bullied or harassed, they write the perpetrator's name on a piece of paper and put it in the freezer to "freeze them out" of their life. This isn't to bring harm to the perpetrator but to get them to leave the victim alone. There are other ways to protect your loved ones energetically and psychically but this is definitely a reason some use to hex and curse.
Seeking Justice: When someone has been wronged or harmed by another's actions, they might consider using hexes or curses as a way to seek justice or retribution. This could be for something like the murder of a loved one or sexual assault. It's important to exercise caution and ethics in such situations. Usually, it’s best to understand karma will take care of it. But, if the intention is to keep the perpetrator from hurting someone else, it’s purely up to the caster if it’s worth it. Curses and hexes that are sent with this type of energy are usually very charged and powerful because of the pain the victim went through.
Angry or Jealous of Someone: This is the worst reason to perform a hex, curse, or psychic attack on someone, but it happens. It’s a waste of energy, and that energy can be best spent on infusing the caster's own life with abundance, success, money, and love. It’s amazing what we can do with energy when we learn to alchemize and redirect it.
Why shouldn’t we send hexes, curses, or psychic attacks?
To some, there may be situations where hexes, curses, or psychic attacks seem like a good idea, but it's crucial to consider the potential consequences and ethical implications. Here are reasons why one should refrain from using these spells:
Ethical Considerations: Many adhere to ethical principles, including the concept of "harm none." Negative energy manipulation can directly conflict with these principles, potentially leading to negative karmic consequences.
Attract Negative Entities: Casting hexes or curses with the intent of causing harm will most likely lower a person's vibrations. Especially, if they don't understand how to really ground, alchemize, and redirect energy. When our vibrations are low, we can attract lower vibration entities in the 5D, making it easier for them to latch onto us. It's always a good idea to consider alternative approaches to resolving conflicts or protecting oneself without causing harm to others.
Energetic Cost: For most, it can take a lot of energy and focus to pull off a successful hex, curse, or psychic attack. If anyone has that much energy built up inside of them, I hope they learn how to use it to elevate their own energy to improve their life. Imagine if someone redirected that emotion or energy within them to infuse their desires and dreams instead of sending it out to negatively impact someone else's life.
Unintended Consequences: Negative energy manipulation can lead to unintended consequences. This could be in the form of harming innocent people or creating more significant problems than it solves. Also, we never know how strong someone else may be energetically or psychically. They could have protections in place that would cause this attack to return back to the sender 10-fold. It’s surprising how many people dabble in magick and you would never know it by looking at them.
Protection Against Hexes, Curses, and Negative Energies
As an energy healer or Reiki practitioner, one of the strongest ways to protect ourselves from hexes, curses, or psychic attacks is to keep our energy very grounded, cleansed, protected, and balanced on a daily basis. Keeping ourselves in a high vibrational state makes it harder for lower vibration entities or attacks to latch onto or affect us. Low-vibration attacks stick easier to people with dense, low-vibration energy. Some general ways we can protect ourselves from these negative spiritual attacks are:
Reiki Healing
Use the power of Reiki to create a protective shield of energy around yourself and your clients. Regular Reiki sessions can help maintain a strong, energetic balance and raise your energetic vibrations.
Crystals
Black tourmaline, smoky quartz, and black obsidian are great crystals for protection. Also, by setting up quartz and amethyst throughout your home, you can increase the vibrational frequency of your space.
Cleansing Rituals
Regularly cleanse your energy and space using techniques such as smudging with sage, cedar, pine, or palo santo. If smoke bothers you, hydrosol sprays are a good alternative. Sound can be another powerful method to cleansing a space of negative energy. This can be with music, bells, or sound bowls.
Visualization and Intention
Visualize a protective barrier around yourself and your clients. Set the intention that only 100% pure, love, light and truth can enter this space.
Protective Talismans
Carry or wear protective amulets or talismans, such as the evil eye or Hand of Hamsa, to ward off negative attacks. You can also use a cross, Nordic runes, or pentacle. Whatever symbol your spirit resonates with will work. It's purely about intention and what you believe.
Professional Help
If you believe you or your clients are affected by negative energies or entities and you're not comfortable handling it on your own, seek the assistance of a professional energy healer or psychic specializing in clearing and protection.
Spirit Guides or Other Protective Entities
If you have met your spirit guides or Reiki guides, feel free to call them in whenever you encounter a negative spiritual attack towards you or your client. You can even call in ancestors, angels, or deities you like working with. Any of these can help reinforce your protective boundaries during a Reiki session.
Final Thoughts
As energy healers, the path of healing and balance is always at the forefront of our practice. While hexes, curses, and psychic attacks exist, we should never be afraid because as reiki healers we are protected and guided. Also, there is power in approaching the unknown with curiosity. Curiosity is the antidote to fear. Know that we are powerful and can alchemize any negative energy sent to us into fuel for whatever we desire most. Stay strong my magickal friends.
