Dealing with Psychic Bombardments

Perhaps it’s Mars retrograding in Cancer — aggression, fire power being internalized against the desire for peace and feeling protected — I’ve been hearing from friends and students about being ‘bombarded’ by others around them…

For example, getting all sorts of strange and harsh news from others’ past; bombarded by messages or memes one after another — without being asked or acknowledged; or just getting unsolicited advise, saying ‘it’s good for you’.

Boundaries are being tested. And while the intention is not necessarily ill, such as in the case of a deliberate ‘evil eye’ — unwarranted negative attention can easily drain away your energy field as well. Unconscious intentions, hidden energetics and projections can be as draining and detrimental as conscious ones.

Often times, people don’t realize when they are being needy — whether it’s a need for attention, help, or connection. Or sometimes, your life force. Very likely they grew-up in a childhood where their emotional needs were shut away or even punished. So as adults there is a disconnect and fear of ASKING for help or connection in a healthier way.

Two ways you can approach this. First is to directly ask, “Is there a reason you are telling/sending me all these?”

Most of the time, the usual person is not aware of what they are doing. This question might shock them, though. Some, in my experience, go into defensive victim mode instantly.

Second option? CLEAR your own energy field. Spraying yourself with Amethyst-infused water is a good one; smudging your space with sage or a vibrant incense helps too. My go-to is burning camphor and invoking my Durga mantras.

Mars in Cancer/Kataka  is an opportunity to go deeper into our own energetic integrity:

• Are we owning our power to nurture the self?

• Or are we seeking outwards for attention and wanting to take from others?

• Are we refusing to tap into our own life energy?

• Is there unhealed anger towards the mother?

• Am I grounded in my sense of self and security?

We have until Feb 24th to heal this. Cheers folks.

Om Kum Kujaya Namah!
