🌑 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.

Spiritual attacks are no joke. They are deeply painful, and in the moment, they can feel unbearable. Yet, as I move through recovery, I remind myself of a deeper truth: these experiences often signal a turning point. They strip away what is heavy and outdated, calling us to reclaim our energy, heal old wounds, and step more fully into alignment with our soul’s path.

Today, I choose to honor the process. To rest. To heal. And to remember that even in the darkest of nights, the light always returns.

🌿 Gentle Self-Care Practices for Recovery

If you ever find yourself navigating a similar experience, these practices may bring comfort:

• Create a safe cocoon: Wrap yourself in a blanket or shawl and allow yourself to fully rest.
• Hydrate with intention: Bless your water or sip moon water charged with healing intentions.
• Use sound healing: A singing bowl, chimes, or soft music can help shift heavy energy.
• Call in protection: Invite Archangels Michael and Raphael (or your guides) to surround you with healing light.
• Ground with crystals: Smoky quartz, black tourmaline, or obsidian can help anchor and protect your energy.
• Journal your truth: Allow your pen to be a release valve for whatever feels stuck inside.

💜 My hope in sharing this story is not to instill fear, but to remind you that you are not alone if you experience moments like these. Spiritual attacks, while intense, often mark deep transformation. They remind us of our strength, resilience, and the support available to us—both in the seen and unseen realms.

With Gratitude & Healing Energy,
