When is an “attack” really a cry for help?

Every so often, a client will come to me because they are feeling attacked. They have a sense that an energy is around them that won’t let go, that won’t take “no” for an answer, that seems to sap their energy and demand their attention.

Quite rightly, they feel attacked.

But a question always arises for me, “Are they being attacked, or is this just a desperate cry for help?”.

I’m the first to acknowledge that attacks do happen. Sometimes, unhelpful associations from the past are retained, sometimes, motives are more malevolent, where an entity is seeking something from the client with no interest in the client’s best interest. Even so, in my experience, malevolent attack is to say the least unusual, if not rare. In my experience, more often, what is experienced as attack is actually a desperate cry for help.

Not everyone makes it through to resolution in Spirit immediately. Sometimes, people need help to pass on. Often, this is because something remains unresolved that is holding them in place.

What that “block” is that is holding someone from moving on completely, can be as varied as we are. It could be that there are unresolved relationships in their life. I recently had a client come to me with a relative who remained around them, desperately unhappy, with that desperate unhappiness being felt constantly by my client.

In other cases, I’ve had clients with someone associated with them who wasn’t a relative, indeed, was not even known to my client in life.

The common theme however, in all these “attachments”, is the desire on the part of the person in Spirit, to move on completely, and the common driver for why they “attach” to my client, is the belief, sometimes the knowledge, that by doing so, they will be helped to complete their journey.

Whether the attachment is known to my client or not, the process if resolution is pretty much identical.

I begin my contacting the attached soul, and from there, try to establish what it is that needs to be resolved to allow them to move on.

From there, I ask them if they are willing to sit with me while they are healed, rather than remaining attached to my client. That allows me, and more importantly, my guides and healers in Spirit, to work with them to resolve the issue that is stopping them from moving on. That might take moments to complete, or it might take days -  it always depends on the circumstances. Whatever the timescale, happens, eventually, I will get a sense that they are finally ready to move on.

Once they are ready, I ask Spirit to find someone who will help them to complete their journey. I’ve never been disappointed in this. There’s always someone who is willing to help; sometimes a relative, sometimes a friend, sometimes just a kind soul who is willing to help. Whoever it is that helps them with their final journey, they and my clients gain the peace they are seeking.

So, if you ever feel that you are being “attacked”, at least consider the possibility that you may be being asked for help, however desperately, however ineptly. And remember, I can help.
