Psychic Strings Attached
As you know, I happily field questions and answer as many as I can. There’s even a comprehensive list of All of the Questions That Have Ever Been Asked and Answered. My favorite is when I open your emails and go, “Oooh, good question!” That’s exactly what happened when I read this one.
Q | I believe that someone from my past is paying someone to put love spells on me. (I realize just how crazy that sounds.) I know that I do not want this person in my life. I never doubted my decisions to walk away and block this person from my life years ago but over the past few months or so every now and again I get intense thoughts about this person and I know they aren’t mine.
It’s wild and very creepy that you can pay someone to do this. I do my best to just shut these thoughts down and think about something else but I guess my question is, can you stop something like this? And what do these people even do for this to happen?
A | First and foremost, this does not sound crazy in the slightest. There are all sorts of attachments and psychic attacks pinging about and, at times, finding their way to us. In some ways, it’s no different than an angry motorist hurling a swear word at us from a moving vehicle. Hearing, “Ya dumb bitch,” yelled at you as you mind your business in a crosswalk hits differently than if a close friend or romantic partner utters the same phrase.
Two factors play into how easily something can attach — the closeness of a relationship and the capabilities of the psychic abilities at play.
Additionally, if we’re rundown and exhausted, that makes for an easier target. This isn’t always avoidable because life happens, but if we can be aware of when we’re a bit more susceptible, we can adjust our gauge of our surroundings appropriately. It’s the psychic equivalent of the “Do Not Operate Heavy Machinery” warning.
