This is how I do the white light. I close my eyes and imagine a peaceful scene, like a beach or something. Then I imagine the trees are gone. Then I take away the surf. Then I take away the sand. Then I take away the sky, so there is nothing but darkness and the sun. I imagine the sun concentrated into a tiny, intense pin point of light, and I imagine it over my head. It shines down like a spot light so I am enveloped by it. Everything the light touches is protected. Negativity, spirits, shadows, whatever you call it - the light is visible in the spiritual plane and they cannot enter it. If you shine a flashlight onto a shadow, what happens? It disappears. I am protected by this white light force field.
I breathe out and the spot light grows until it envelops my bed. Now my bed is safe. It grows to envelope my room - my whole room is safe. It grows to envelope my whole house. I imagine other points of light shining down on the houses of my loved ones, far away, protecting them, too. Some people imagine orbs of white light instead of spotlights. They wrap themselves in the orb and go to work in it, like one of those hamster balls. They wrap their cars in protective orbs.
We are so powerful as living human beings. If we imagine it, even briefly without the outward appearance of meditation or prayer, we can make light appear like this in the spiritual plane. It seems to simple to work, but it does. I imagine myself saying, I wield the light power. Any spirits that are in the light I created are not welcome and must get out or disappear forever.
Romans 12:21
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel
Saint Michael the Archangel, Defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do though, O Prince of the heavenly host, By the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits Who wander throughout the world Seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
The Lord's Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done On earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread And forgive us our trespasses As we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power And the glory Forever and ever. Amen.
The Twenty-third Psalm
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures. He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul. He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil For Thou art with me. Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies. Thou annointest my head with oil. My cup runneth over. Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Amen.
The Prayer of Jabez, I Chronicles 4:10
And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying: "Oh, that You would bless me, indeed, and enlarge my territory. that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain." So, God granted him what he requested. Amen.
PSALMS 71
In You, O, Lord, I take refuge. Incline Your ear to me and save me. Be my rock of refuge, A stronghold to give me safety. Amen.
omg. i have the same things sometomes. it is just awful. i feel the spirits creeping behind me, man, its just awful. if its not sexual abuse haunting me its i guess i would call it spiritual abuse.
for me whenever i try soothing myself with say ''dont worry g-d is wayching'' it triggers more. and when i ignore it just comes harder and stronger that i either end up crying or screaming.
its purely awful cuz any relaxation method triggers me further. i dont know what to do about it. i just strated talking about this in therapy and was triggered afterwards(thats what happens when ur in a vulnerable state)
anyhow, i must not be making much sense here. im in a littl efunk mood. sorry if this doesnt help.
If passive methods, like letting God handle it or relaxing, makes it worse (I think it is called paradoxical anxiety?), then you might need a more aggressive approach. Have you tried turning around and yelling at it? Confronting it or facing it head on might be more effective.
There's no way to know for sure what will work best, so I usually throw everything at it but the kitchen sink until something makes a bit of progress, and then take it from there.
I hope you find relief soon. I know how hard it can be to feel like this, and then there's frustration on top of it because the stuff that works for others just makes it worse. If you find something that helps, make sure you let us know because you are not the only one :)
but i now share a room so thats kinda immpossible to do now.
i hate not being able to scream, the only time is when im either home alone when even then someone can just wal;k in or in the sower, no one can hear with the water running.
i know a lot of my friends have thier shower as their ''screaming'' place.
but even sometime screaming doesnt do it, smetimes no matter what ur still gonna feel followed.u have to learn to believe u are safe, but even when you KNOW and believe it myt not get throught ur heart and emotions.
so i guess im back agn t trying t figure it out.
the weird thing is, is that when i was dating this guy a while back, i wld feel ppl or spirits creeping on to me and his touch, whether s hug or whatever wld bring out in me two such opposing reactions.
i wld feel comforted ina way, safe touch calms me down( i sometimes ask my friends t give me a random hug when i feel that creeping feeling, safe touch calms me) but at the same time it wold freak the hell out of me and all i wanted is out, and for no one t touch me or get near. its funny how i had such to contradicting reactions at the same tym.
it makes me scared t start dating agn, all the treactions, triggers.
its all a big load. tho i was just told that ive gotta live in tghe moment and ya know, just cuz one experience was bad does not mean others will be
I apologize if you are allergic or if this is something you are not able to do. Dogs are not the answer for many.
I believe everyone on here saying what theyr saying. Years ago I was at work so I couldn't scream, cuz I was sleep shift with eight people, who were mentally handicapped,,retarded,,down syndrome. And I was supposed to be sleeping. well I couldn't sleep but three hours. Otherwise I'd be on the porch smoking ==chain smoking. Well I had night terrors too. I actually felt the bed move and shove me back. and I was raped by a evil spirit. I am a rape survivor. and sexual abuse as a kid, and teen.
So I was seeing images, and my eyes were open. I finally said in my head, screamed IN JESUS NAME< GET OUT !! i"d recite the Lord's Prayer. Pray to God for safety, and to remove it from me. and about a month later it went away. I was scared to lay in that bed,,,but then I laid down on the couch instead, then eventually felt safe enough in the bed again. I needed my meds increased. I am bipolar. And I believe it was spiritual, evil. Now I sleep well.
I hope this helps,, if you believe in a Higher Power, or GOD.
And you little miss itsnotallok, just where have YOU been, I haven't heard from you in some time. Don't be a stranger. ;-) Hugs.
I have put it together in my head that I was victimized by a malesand the shadows represented this.
I take anti anxiety meds and a beta blocker called tenex that has help so much
I still feel hypervigelence at night. Every noise in the hose makes me paranoid that somebody or some thing is coming to harm me
I have my little dog shes a shih Tzushe has started barking when theres nothing in the room I can see freaks me out. I still sleep with the lights on silly as it sounds.
Gonna talk with my therapist again about my issuesGOOD TOPIC glad Im not the only one
