In our daily lives, we usually think only of material and physical things. However, there is also another parallel world - the astral, spiritual dimension, which remains invisible to most of us. This unique realm is inhabited not only by angels and good energies, but also by dark, demonic entities that do not want us to develop spiritually. The deeper we go into the path of spirituality, the more vulnerable we become to attacks from these unfriendly beings. They are not attracted to us because of our character or conduct, but because we pose a threat to them. Many people who have experienced such attacks ask themselves: why me? Did I do something wrong? It is important to understand that the reason is not our morality, but the fact that we resist dark forces.
The appearance of demonic entities
These dark energies often take on a terrifying form - a black or gray impenetrable mist whose appearance is chilling. It is not uncommon for them to appear as grim phantoms wrapped in black cloaks with hoods instead of faces having only a boundless black abyss. Their appearance can freeze the most hardened man. Sometimes, however, these entities try to deceive us with a beautiful, enticing appeal, even taking on graceful and alluring forms. But don't be fooled - this is only an illusion, which they quickly abandon, as they are unable to hide their dark nature for a long time.
What always allows us to recognize that we are dealing with these negative energies is the accompanying feelings. In the presence of dark, evil entities, we are overwhelmed by unquenchable fear, overwhelming pain, emptiness and depressing evil. Good energies, on the other hand, fill the heart with love, tenderness and slight emotion. Evil beings have none of these warm, positive feelings in them. It is impossible to communicate with them, to understand them, to reach them with words. There are only two ways left - either to submit to them completely, or to fight a battle with them.
It is clear that these dark powers are not just any adversaries. Their frightening appearance and negative aura inspire real fear. However, with a little forethought and self-confidence, they can be defeated. You need to know their weaknesses and use the advantages of bright energies - warmth, love, sincerity. This is the only way to repel these filthy invaders from the dark dimension.
How and why do they attack?
Attacks by dark beings from the astral world most often occur at night, when we plunge into dreamland. It is then that we move into the borderland of java and dream - a strange, uncanny state in which we still realistically see our room, bed, and at the same time perceive an unusual astral dimension. Phantoms, various entities and shimmering energies in the form of various colors appear in it.
That very moment, when our consciousness is between two worlds, is the best time to attack these filthy invaders. They are most likely to attack when we are lying defenseless on our stomachs or backs. If we are sleeping on our stomachs, they fly up from behind, taking advantage of the element of surprise. When we lie on our back, on the other hand, they sit directly on our chest, overwhelming us with their mass and causing a feeling of suffocation, an inability to draw breath.
But this is only the beginning of their insidious procedures. Next, they completely paralyze our body and senses, so we become completely helpless, incapable of the slightest movement or making even the slightest sound. At this point they begin to connect to one of our chakras, from which they start sucking out the life-giving energy, usually choosing the strongest one, which is the main source of our vitality.
The only position that can help avoid such a nightmare is to curl up in the fetal position, which makes it difficult to access sensitive areas of the body. So it's worth falling asleep this way if you are plagued by this kind of nocturnal haunting from dark forces.
Means of protection
Unfortunately, there is no one-size-fits-all protection technique that would 100 percent protect us from the attacks of these dark entities. Those who have at least once experienced the paralyzing presence of a nocturnal phantom are well aware of its terrifying face. Such a traumatic adventure leaves a deep wound in the psyche, and the fear of falling asleep again and bringing another attack on oneself becomes an inseparable companion.
That's why it's so important to properly protect yourself before you go to bed. Fortunately, we have several simple yet effective methods at our disposal. One is to set up small plates in the corners of the bedroom with salt, which has been considered a powerful, purifying entity for centuries. Another way might be to light a light or a white, innocent candle for the night, the glow of which has the power to ward off dark powers.
The room can also be cleansed with the smoke of white sage, a plant with remarkable cleansing properties. It is a good idea to place crystals by the bed, which should be properly "programmed" for protection beforehand. It is also great to imagine that before going to bed you cover your body with a tight "quilt" of light, which will not let any negative energies through.
Sometimes we don't even need to take special measures, because a good protection is... our cats! This is because these remarkable animals have the unique ability to simultaneously reside in our dimension and in the astral world. Many people previously haunted by evil forces have noticed a marked weakening and even a complete cessation of nocturnal attacks when cats moved into their home and started sleeping with them.
It also happens that we receive unexpected help from "higher forces." Suddenly, we may feel something violently pulling us up or down, causing a sudden awakening from the trap between worlds.
What definitely won't help, however, are any sleep medications or other pharmacological agents. Although they will satisfy our hunger for sleep, but at the price of a complete loss of alertness and vitality. We will then be completely unaware of what is going on around us, and this in turn will not eliminate the threat from dark entities, but intensify it.
In such a situation, the best solution is to seek support from people who have gone through similar experiences themselves and can offer help based on their own spiritual knowledge. Various traditions, including Native Americans, also suggest creating special "dream catchers" designed to chase away demons and other dark beings. While these methods are not 100 percent effective, especially with very powerful entities, they are worth using to supplement other safeguards.
The most important thing, however, is to be aware of what we are dealing with. While we can disregard these experiences, downplaying them as mere nightmares or night terrors, this will not avoid the real problem. It's better to accept the truth that nocturnal invasions are more than just maybes of the subconscious. Only then will we be able to properly defend ourselves against them, without mindlessly giving in to nighttime attacks that pose a real, spiritual threat.
How to defend yourself
However, if, despite all precautions, there is an attack by these dark invaders, one must not give up. They must be resolutely resisted and defended against their insidious actions. Fortunately for us, we have several effective methods of defense at our disposal.
The best solution, of course, is to wake up completely and get out of bed, as this breaks contact with the astral world, where they have their habitat. Unfortunately, this is very often impossible due to the fact that their first action is to paralyze our body, depriving us of the possibility of any movement.
In such a situation, at all costs, try not to look "in the face" of the entity, as looking into this abyss of terror and evil can completely weaken your defenses, as well as cause an irresistible wave of fear and make you feel its shrill, dark energy with all its might. It will feed its forces with the negative energy of fear.
So try instead to move any part of your body, although this will certainly not be an easy task. Concentrate all your remaining free will on squeezing a finger or toe with all your might. This may be enough to break the curse of paralysis.
Remember, too, that the dark powers from the astral world can't stand the glow of light. So you can try to imagine that you light a candle, and its bright flame will scatter all the dark clouds. Admittedly, the dark phantom will certainly interfere with this, but don't give up and persevere with this visualization. Even better is to surround yourself with white, bright light, which will protect you from the penetration of dark energies and prevent them from approaching.
You can also go on a direct counterattack and attack these evil-filled entities. Imagine sending beams of energy released by your fingers towards them, looking like white or colored luminous beams like laser swords. With these, you will be able to effectively fight and repel the attacks of these unwanted invaders from the astral world. This is certainly an effective method of defense.
Do not forget that the key to success here is strong self-confidence, courage and firmness in opposing the vile forces of evil. They have no real power over you if you don't allow yourself to be intimidated and don't give in to their manipulations. Use the power of bright energies and your own unshakeable determination, and you will surely be able to survive this uneasy battle.
After the attack
Now that you know the various effective methods of defense against these dark invaders, it is worth remembering that the biggest and best protective shield is a pure heart and a strong, bright aura. We should not stifle any negative feelings - resentment, hurt, anger or aggression. Instead, we should bestow forgiveness and unconditional love on others, opening ourselves to the same feelings toward ourselves.
Once we manage to survive the attack of these vile beings, there is eventually a complete awakening and return to reality. If we have managed to successfully defend ourselves and prevent the insidious entities from approaching and depriving us of at least some of our life-giving energy, we will certainly feel relief and liberation. Unfortunately, if we have not been able to stop them, we may experience tremendous depletion of vitality, and certainly paralyzing fear.
In such a situation, it is best to delay going to sleep again for as long as possible, to give ourselves time to recover and rest in full consciousness, without the risk of being trapped between worlds. Only when our strength has coagulated again and we have regained our self-confidence can we peacefully go to sleep.
At the same time, it is worth remembering that the struggle with dark powers from the astral world is an integral stage on the path of spiritual development. Every person who decides to follow this path sooner or later has to face it. The positive side of this painful ordeal is that through these experiences and overcoming the dark side, we become stronger and more hardened.
By emerging victorious from these struggles, we open ourselves to higher levels of spiritual evolution. The more such trials we go through, the more darkness we dispel with the light of our soul, the more progress we will make on this extraordinary path of development. Although it is not an easy process, it allows us to soar to heights we did not even dare to dream of before.
Awareness of the threat
This article was intended not only to make you aware of the existence of dark energies in the astral world, but also to point out effective ways to protect yourself from their insidious attacks. If you have fallen victim to them, there is absolutely no need to feel guilty or judge yourself. It is important for you to understand that the cause of the attack is not your character, conduct or inner power. It is simply the natural result of the fact that through your own spiritual evolution you are resisting the dark forces that hate the light and would like to keep us in ignorance.
Although the deeper we go into the path of spirituality, the more vulnerable we become to attacks from these filthy invaders, this should in no way discourage or deter us. It is an integral, albeit painful, part of the development process, which only makes us stronger and allows us to rise to a higher level of initiation.
Therefore, always remember the need to be constantly vigilant and protect your being from the temptations of dark powers. But don't shy away from confrontation for this reason either, when necessary. Coming out of it victorious, you will gain not only new and powerful powers, but also priceless experience, which will be a valuable signpost on the way ahead.
Let us never delude ourselves that this world, physical and astral, is a friendly and safe place. There will always be hostile forces lurking about, eager to plunge us into ignorance and doubt. However, if you follow your path with a pure heart, undefiled intention and unshakeable faith in the light, no dark forces will be able to stop you.
So be brave and fearless, aware of the many dangers, but also of your inner strength and power. This is the best shield you can ever have when confronting the astral world. As long as you nurture the flame of love, sincerity and truth within you, nothing will be able to extinguish the glow of your spiritual essence. And it, in turn, will ignite any darkness in your path.
