🌑 My Experience with Spiritual Attack – and the Recovery That Follows
Last night, I sat down to write my very first blog post for Unimend. I felt safe, inspired, and grateful to finally begin something that had been on my heart for a long time. I even went to bed with a sense of accomplishment and joy. But about an hour later, everything shifted. What began as a small delay in something I had been expecting spiraled into a full spiritual attack. Anxiety, panic, physical pain, overwhelm, despair, and fear flooded me all at once. It felt all-consuming—like I was fighting for my life. My instinct was to retreat to my safe space—my bed. There, I began praying (at times begging) for protection from Archangel Michael and my spirit team. I surrendered and allowed the waves of emotion to move through me. I cried. I screamed. I pleaded. I even tried to bargain with Source. Through it all, I clung to my smoky quartz crystal like a lifeline. In those darkest moments, I reached out to a trusted spiritual friend and mentor (thank you, Brian) and allowed myself to be vulnerable. He held space for me, offering guidance and reassurance that helped me navigate the intensity with a little more ease. The attack lasted several hours. As I watched my family drift peacefully to sleep, I felt frozen, suspended in my own battle. Finally, with the help of meditation, Archangel Michael, my spirit team, and perhaps sheer exhaustion, I slipped into a troubled sleep. This morning, I woke with the awareness that the attack had passed. I had made it through. But my body and spirit felt like they had been through a physical fight. The only words that echoed in my mind were from the movie The Green Mile: “I’m tired, boss.” Today is about recovery and rest. I’m working from the comfort of my bed, wrapped in my weighted blanket and favorite shawl. I’ve been sipping moon water I charged during the last full moon, and I’ve surrounded myself with my healing tools—singing bowl, crystals, tarot cards, and burning sage. I continue to call upon Archangels Michael and Raphael, along with my spirit team, for healing and strength.
