I have been recently ask how to know when you are being spiritual and/or mentally attacked. Unable to explain, or know for certain, I have decided to begin a search to find the answer myself. So here is my question to anyone who can answer, or point me in the right direction.

How do you know when you are being attacked from something spiritual? What are the signs of it? And how can you tell if what you feel is simply mood swings, just normal physical reactions of your body, or something more?

It's hard not to doubt myself when I feel like I'm often attacked by something invisible. I wonder if maybe my very active imagination is making excuses for physical or emotional weaknesses. I wish to know more so I can have confidence in my intuition and instincts.

It is always best to rule out any physical, emotional, and psychological reasons before assuming the issue is a spiritual attack.

Your best defense against those kinds of attacks is to simply ignore them. Don't give whatever is doing them the power to bother you in any way.

Also, try to remember that the odds of some random thing attacking you are very slim. You are most likely just misinterpreting atmospheric energies as attacks.

Unfortunately I don’t believe its random attacks at all. There is something malevolence somewhere out there waiting for an opportunity to strike. I’m more or less looking for a way to distinguish when it’s attacking me, or when I’m being paranoid. Though I can understand why ignoring it might make it go away, but I don’t think that can solve my problem. For one, I’m too defiant… I can’t let something simply attack me and get away with it, and on another note, I think trying to ignore the problem will only make it worst in the long run.

Why, though? Why would it attack you? What makes you special enough to this thing for it to want to attack you?

It isn't just me. It's my friends as well. But honestly we aren't completely sure why it wants to attack us. My speculation is that it is trying to shatter our spirit for some sort of gain.

Defiance will only lead to your demise in the long run.

If it is a spiritual being, who, for, whatever reason, is attacking you, you have to understand that it's resources are unlimited compared to yours.

It's like trying to push an elephant over with a feather. You can superglue the feather in place, but it won't last a second longer.

Remember, you may not be stronger, but that doesn't mean you have to give in.

Remember, the tree which does not move in a hurricane will snap, but one that is fluid and giving will survive.

That is the most ridiculous thing I've read all day, thanks for the laugh.

Agreed with Miniar.

Just because it's a spiritual being doesn't mean it has unlimited resources. They just operate on a different playing field, so to speak.

The best way, IMO, if there you do believe there to be an actual entity of whatever sort attacking you, to differentiate between it and sheer paranoia, is to err on the safe side. Even if it's paranoia, act the same way. You'll eventually be able to weed out when it's not paranoia, because there will be a different reaction to your action instead of nothing happening.

Develop something you can do that's subtle enough to do at anytime. Even if you're paranoid, do this little action. If it's just paranoia, obviously nothing's going to come of it, like hitting air.

But if there's actually something doing something to you, well, you can defend yourself. Just observe the differences. Over even a short amount of time you'll be able to pick up on a minute difference in feeling and act accordingly.

If you get the feeling that you are being attacked spiritually/mentally, take a deep breath, consentrate on your physical body head to toe and relax any tensions. Then do the same with whatever your perception of your 'spiritual body' is (ground yourself, cleanse your aura, stregthen your sheilds, whatever is your cup of tea). Doesn't matter if you really are being attacked or not, this kind of exercise is still benificial.

On the topic of whether i think you are being attacked - I'd say unlikely.

Have you considered the possibility that what is 'attacking' you is not actually external? Is it possible that you and your friends have raised enough energy through nervousness, paranoia , group delusoin and invested it with malicious intention through fearing attack that you have 'created' something that is real enough to actually attack you. An attacking construct?

That question is open to everyone.
