Have you ever felt like your life is unraveling all at once—like every aspect of your world is crumbling, and no matter what you do, things just keep getting worse? If so, you may be experiencing what is known in the psychic world as a spiritual attack.
Positive, loving energy is what keeps us bonded, connected, and strong. Think of it as an invisible glue that ties us to those we love and care about, creating harmony and balance in our lives. However, just as positive energy uplifts, negative energy can drag us down. Sometimes, it can feel like it’s coming from everywhere, throwing us off course and creating chaos in our lives.
When negative energy from another person—or even a group of people—collides with your energy field, it’s called a spiritual attack. In Italian culture, this concept is known as the malocchio, or “evil eye.” It is rooted in the belief that a person can be harmed or negatively affected by another’s envy, ill will, or malicious intent.
Symptoms of a Spiritual Attack
The effects of a spiritual attack can be subtle or dramatic, depending on the strength of the negative energy directed toward you. Here are some common symptoms:
- Everything seems to be falling apart. You might experience problems in multiple areas of your life—your relationships, career, health, or finances—seemingly all at once.
- Persistent headaches or physical discomfort. These can manifest as tension or heaviness that doesn’t seem to have a physical cause.
- A feeling like the world is against you. You might sense that nothing is going your way, and it may feel like unseen forces are working against you.
- The heavy energy of others. Being around certain people might feel draining, as though they are pulling you down with their negativity.
The Italian Ritual of Releasing the Evil Eye
I remember as a little boy watching my grandmother perform a sacred, ancient Italian ritual to remove the effects of the evil eye and release negative energy. Friends and family would come to her when they felt overwhelmed by heavy energies, and she would pray over them, calling on God, Heaven, and the Angels to take the negativity away. And it worked.
This secret technique, which has been passed down through generations, is not something widely taught. In fact, in Italian tradition, it is believed that the ritual to remove the malocchio can only be learned on Christmas Eve. Yet what always amazed me wasn’t just the ritual itself but the profound shift it created in the energy of those who sought my grandmother’s help.
Understanding the Power of Negative Energy
It’s important to understand that nobody can truly take away your energy or power. However, the negativity of someone’s ill will or jealousy can feel like it has power over you—if you allow it. Spiritual attacks occur when we absorb or internalize the negative energy being directed our way.
For example, imagine you have an ex-best friend who is deeply jealous of your marriage. Her envy and resentment create a heavy, negative energy that you and your spouse might unconsciously feel, leading to tension or unnecessary arguments. Even though she can’t directly harm your relationship, the energy of her jealousy may still infiltrate your life if you don’t take steps to block it.
But here’s the key: You don’t have to accept this energy. You can learn to send it back and protect yourself.
The Spiritual Block Button: Taking Back Your Power
Negative energy is a lot like spam emails. Just like those phishing scams that try to steal your personal information, spiritual attacks can sneak into your life and cause unnecessary alarm. But every email inbox has a “block” or “spam” button to filter out unwanted messages—and the same is true for your energy field.
You have the power to block negative energy, but it starts with awareness and intentional action. Knowing that spiritual attacks exist is the first step. The next is learning how to protect yourself and clear your energy when negativity comes your way.
Exercise: Unlocking Your Spiritual Block Button
Here’s a simple but powerful exercise to activate your spiritual block button and take back control of your energy:
Step 1: Recognize the Source
Take a moment to identify the energy that feels heavy or disruptive in your life. Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and ask yourself:
- Where is this energy coming from?
- Who or what might be sending it?
Often, the answer will come to you intuitively. Trust your gut feeling, even if it doesn’t make logical sense at first.
Step 2: Visualize a Shield of Light
Once you’ve identified the source of the negative energy, visualize yourself surrounded by a brilliant, glowing light. Imagine this light forming a protective shield around your body, keeping out any energy that doesn’t belong to you.
As you do this, say aloud or in your mind:
“I am surrounded by the light of love and protection. No negative energy can penetrate my shield. I am safe, and I am strong.”
Step 3: Return the Energy
Negative energy thrives when it lingers in your space. To clear it, imagine the source of the energy (person or situation) and visualize sending the negativity back to where it came from. Say:
“This energy does not belong to me. I send it back with love and light, releasing it from my space completely.”
It’s important to include love in your intention—this ensures that the energy is neutralized, not amplified or perpetuated.
Step 4: Call on Higher Help
Ask for guidance and protection from a higher power. You can call upon God, the Angels, or any spiritual beings you resonate with. Say a prayer, such as:
“I ask for divine protection from all negative energy. Please guide me in releasing anything that does not serve my highest good. Surround me with love and light, and keep me safe.”
Step 5: Clear Your Energy Regularly
Just like your home needs regular cleaning, your energy field does too. Incorporate rituals like smudging with sage or palo santo, taking salt baths, or meditating to clear and reset your energy regularly.
Taking Control of Your Energy
What I’ve learned over the years—through my grandmother’s teachings and my own experiences as a psychic medium—is that you always have the power to release negative energy and take control of your spiritual well-being. Spiritual attacks only have as much power as you give them.
When you activate your spiritual block button and take intentional steps to protect yourself, you’ll find that the chaos, heaviness, and negativity begin to lift. You’ll feel lighter, stronger, and more connected to the positive energy that surrounds you.
The Ancient Wisdom of Protection
The Italian tradition of removing the malocchio reminds us of the importance of community and spiritual connection. My grandmother’s rituals worked because they combined faith, intention, and the belief that no negativity is stronger than the light of love and protection.
While not everyone has access to ancient rituals passed down through generations, the principles remain the same: You have the power to protect yourself and release the energy that doesn’t serve you.
Embracing Your Inner Strength
Spiritual attacks can feel overwhelming, but they are also an opportunity to reconnect with your inner strength and spiritual tools. By recognizing the signs of a spiritual attack, activating your spiritual block button, and regularly clearing your energy, you can create a shield of protection that keeps negativity at bay.
Remember, the most important thing is not to let fear take over. You are always stronger than any negative energy that comes your way. With love, light, and a little bit of practice, you can reclaim your power and restore harmony to your life.
Now is the time to take back control. Try the exercise above and see how it changes your energy. You might be surprised at just how powerful you truly are.

Thanks,Mr.Fraser for a detailed post.
Would it be additionally helpful to chant St.Michael’s Prayer for protection?
Most such protective spells work better if they are chanted,if available,in original Latin.
With Warm Regards,
Thank you!
This is great thank you. I smudge our home on the 1st of every month but I shall also add in the light protection dome.
Thank you for this informative information today Matt. I do know about the Evil Eye, in fact I have an Evil Eye Necklace. I do my own oracle card readings for myself from several decks I have and before I even ask my question I pray over my cards to God and I always ask him to watch over my card reading that particular day and to please keep any negative, lower energy forces away from my card reading, and only let his loving good energy come through for me to answer my question. So thank you for even more information you just provided that you learned from your Grandmother and from your own physic abilities. Always love learning of the spiritual connections and about receiving messages from our loved ones in Heaven. I do receive many signs from my loved ones in Heaven and over the years know what to look for and know when I receive my messages and hello’s from them, they even show up in my photo’s…!! Thank you again Matt for sharing your thoughts and information about the Spiritual World with all of us..!! Blessings, Linda
I love you. I needed this. Thank you.
I would humbly suggest,if you indeed need this to chant Saint Michael’s Protection prayer,twice daily.
You will feel doubly protected.
I will certainly try this. Hopefully it will send closure to the awful things that have entered my life. Let you know the results.
I needed to hear this, at this moment in my life’s journey. With love and light, thank you!
Thank you Matt,
This email is exactly what I need. I know it was sent to me for a reason. I intend to follow this practice.
Thank you again for all you do.
I love reading and listening to you. I talk to my god and angles knowing they are right here with me ❤️❤️
Very interesting. I am full Italian and I remember the “evil eye”. I don’t think that’s my problem though. I lost my daughter last year and I’ve become a very angry, bitter person . Not towards other people, maybe my immediate family and God. In fact I just can’t forgive God, go to Mass anymore or pray, because I’d feel like a hypocrite.
My mom lost 2 kids both boys. I lost two brothers one just last year too! I am sincerely sorry for your loss. You are still grieving. Our father in heaven knows what you are feeling He lost his only son for our sins. Don’t give up! I’m pretty sure your daughter doesn’t want to see you in this pain and negative space. Our heavenly father is patiently waiting for you to go to him and ask for help when you are ready. Remember that Our heavenly father is a loving father and doesn’t intentionally go out of his way to hurt us! Remember what matt has said before. We write our charts before we are born and we speak to our family before we are born. We choose our path in life and how it ends. We just don’t remember. please remember that your daughter loves you and sees you still. Hopefully once you feel a little more you again and all negative thoughts are not lingering. she will be able to visit you in your dreams. I’m no medium but I am human. I do know you are still grieving and rightfully so! But don’t be angry with our heavenly father. He loves you and your daughter and she is with him. May yausha bless you and bring you peace to your broken heart. Sending this to you with much love and light. Take Care!
Thank you for always providing us with such powerful guidance & amazing information that we can practice ourselves in our everyday lives & in our future 🫶🏼❤️🙏🏼
Now THIS definitely resinates with me !! A sense of relief has come over me, thank you! Divine timing
Thanks seems like what is happening to me pops up a there is guidance I needed to hear thanks for getting me back on track
Oh gosh I started immediately taking your advice in visioning me within a white light asking for protection. Throwing back the negativity (with love). Now to exhale instead of gritting my teeth all day & night.
I will definitely do this. Thank you and may God bless you for all you do.
Thank you Matt. I am very much in this situation and feel there is an evil eye over me as it’s just like you explained. Thank you also as you have given me so much hope and understanding since i Iost my precious husband and feel the sadness every moment of my life, but you bring such comfort through your readings and videos. Thank you so much.

I loved this very important message. I have felt this way my entire life and ask God what did I do wrong to deserve this punishment. After reading your message it makes me wish I received this when I was growing up until present. I thank you tremendously for sharing the unknown of a precious tool.
Sadly many spiritual attacks to keep my light down.. I breaks me.
Thanks for the article Matt. Hope thinks improve 🙏🍀
But i will never allow this to beat me. Once I remember my soul again and my light, which is my true self and light.. there is no more space for any darkness ✨ I will never give up or let this beat me…..
I think I have been under an attack for years. My health continuing to fail, my husband then died after 41 years. Things seem not to have purpose like before.
Thank you I need to do this
Matt, Thank you. This was much needed validation in my core beliefs. While reading it, I was taken back to a darker time in my life when a coworker noticed I was under attack. Her prayers for me at that moment were pivotal. I could literally feel the shift in energy when i returned to my area. Yes, i was still under attack… but it gave me much needed strength and brought me back to core beliefs in Christ. I was losing faith and spiritually drowning… she gave me hope to move forward without feeling like everybody was against me… Again it was key at a critical time.
Life has lessons. I don’t want to repeat them. True evil does exist. We do need to cleanse our spiritual lives often to protect ourselves. Thank you for the reminders and insight.
I also apply frankincense behind my right ear, which closes the portal to my thoughts. I also put Palo Santo in the ashtray burning throughout the day with the ceiling fan on, and we use Epsom salt in the bottom of the shower if we don’t have time for the bath. And this way it soaks through the skin. And also writing things down I want to let go of and burning it with a bay leaf
As a wife of an italian I know about the evil eye. Thanks for this ritual to protect against it.
Thank you for this information. I remember my childhood friend’s grandmother doing the malocchio on me. I have quite a few evil eye bracelets and I wear one everyday.
Dear Matt,
I want to say Thank You. I needed to see this article about Divine Protection. You helped me a lot on my way!!! I was guided to You after my loss. Lots of Love and Light, from Germany, Yours Dana
Dear Matt, I love how you don’t try and sell us medalions and other stuff to “ward off evil spirits” or help for us to “get great wealth” if we buy items from them. I already know you are legit (I got a reading) but I think others who try to sell us trinkets are not.
Thank you for this. I have needed this for so long in my life especially since the passing of my husband. I will be practicing this on a regular basis for the rest of my life’s journey.
Sincerely appreciated.
Thank you for this. I say something similar in the morning and when I walk or drive. I will add love.
Thank you for the 411, but is it true that sage attracts negative spirits when you sage? I’ve read it removes them.
I very much appreciate your insight and knowledge Matt. I was just chatting with a friend in dispair over this very thing. I tried helping her clarify what’s important to her and to let go of the anger that goes along with negative energy. So instead of sending this to her I thought I would personally do it with her. I’m sure it will hep. Things do happen at certain times for reasons.
You’re always at the right time
Blessings
Great post Matt! I have felt targeted with negative energy from my psych RN position since July I have been ill with one thing after another but I always seem to bounce back due to my strong faith in God and my loving husband and daughter- meeting you and seeing your shows are an inspiration to me and others- you are truly a blessing to this universe- thank you!🧡🙏🥰
Hello Matt, what a great blessing to have and to utilize this message. I love positive energy but some days sucked in by what’s around me. Thank you 😊 so much 💖
Matt: I am an Usui Reiki Master, as well as Karuna Ki Master! I perform healings on family and friends, to balance their energy! There are many types of Reiki, but I the one I was taught is to call on God, Mother Mary and usually the ArchAngels Grabriel, Michael, and St Raphael, depending on their needs!
Every day after my shower, I call on ArchAngel Michael to help me get grounded, and with your hands brush away from your body, all the energy that my body no longer needs! Repeat And So It Is! Shaking your hands 3X, before exiting the tub!
Thank you for helping me in cleansing my body and soul from negative energy.
Thank you for sending love and light my way. Sending mine back to you!
Thank you Matt for this information! I have heard of the evil eye but didn’t know what entailed it. I have experienced feelings as you described in the past. Couldn’t ever figure out why I was feeling as such. Now you have given me the tools on how to handle it. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Matt, I do feel as I am being attacked, I’ve been in pain for awhile now and I just did the ritual you suggested in this blog and I am ordering the polo santo candle.
Dear Matt, I so enjoyed reading this and it was timely for me. I have had a hard time clearing the feelings that come whenever I am with some of my children. I never in my life knew that I had to put distance between me and them but am learning slowly because again when I was with them yesterday for a birthday party, I had to let go of so much hurt and pain that has been caused by some of them. I know it is evil that penetrates telling me I am not enough, I am powerless, I am not worthy. So, I have cleared using the methods provided by your loving grandmother and hope it makes a difference in my life today as I have a meaningful purpose and want to move forward so I release this feeling of “stuckness” to the Universe because I know I am more than what they have labeled me as. My love to you Matt, please pray for me, your sister, Shelley PS. I am doing your next online event to learn more about who I am in truth and light. Namaste, Shelley
Thank you so much Matt for this wonderful advice. I will definitely practice this as I know negative energy has been affecting me lately. Prayers and love to your family 💓
Oh my goodness Matt, I just was telling my closest niece & best friend yesterday that I feel like someone (2 people specifically) have placed a curse or bad juju onto me because it has been feeling like nothing it going my way, no matter what I do, things just seem to be getting worse and worse for me. I feel deep down I knew who it was and I don’t even know why the thought came to me, but it did and it was like a clear thought. My niece confirmed that if that strong thought came out of nowhere then it was very possible and I needed to do an energy clearing asap. Then this morning, I get this email to read your blog. “WHAT IS A SPIRITUAL ATTACK…,” it was just another confirmation of what I was thinking was true. I have gone through the steps and already feeling lighter! My rare medical health condition won’t just go away, but maybe now all things in my life will start going in a better direction! I just have to be mindful I need to be aware of the energy that I’m feeling, not to doubt it, and to regularly clear my energy and space so I can live in more positive, light and love space as I once was.
Thank you for always sharing your beautiful gifts with us! Sometimes I just need a gentle nudge to know my intuition is right on and I need to be more willing to listen.
Sending light and love to you and the family,
Heather K
Dear Matt,
Thank you for your insightful words of wisdom. Spiritual attacks are too common in this day and age and we need to set our positive intentions and surround ourselves with the Divine Light. Thank you so much for what you do in helping others! God Bless you!
Thank you so very much Matt. Truly needed to know. Been weighed down as if, literally, ton of bricks on shoulders for months. Angel signs every single day for long while. Hopes to get reading soon. Love you
Iv by been under t attack tor awhile
Carrying the evil eye 🪬 sign around as jewelry or decoration is it bad luck or good luck ?
Confuse
Agreed..I’m Italian..We were taught this growing up..It works..
Thank you!! I will try exercises above 🍃💚🍃
Thank you for sharing this Matt 😘🙏✨. Such sound advice that I’ve already found through spiritual books but this explains the approve in detail. It’s difficult sometimes to find ones inner strength when negative energy hurts but, once one learns to believe in themselves and the good energies it helps our spiritual growth.
Blessing to you for sharing,
Suzy
Thank you Matt!
Thank you, Matt. Your message came at the most perfect timing.
Thank you! And your grandmother for her wisdom, and to pass it along to you to help others… Be continually blessed! Mary
Reading this just validates what I’ve stumbled into learning on my own in my life, but I didn’t know about the part of “returning the energy.” I’ve only ever blocked it by putting a light over my entire home to protect the entire household. (I first saw that light during a critical juncture as a child, so that’s how I learned about it.) Sometimes, I catch myself wishing for karma to hit my attacker, so it was good to read what you said about returning it to the source. I need to be bigger than that. 🙂 Thank you.
I’d like to keep attending your online readings, but these attacks have taken away our income. It’ll be awhile before we bounce back enough where I can afford to do these things again. In the meantime, I truly appreciate your words reaching us.
Peace!
I so needed this today
Ciao Matt. I thank you for sharing this. I too am Italian and my Nonna would remove the malocchio . I am so blessed and grateful she had taught me on one Christmas Eve many years ago Both in English and Italian. I agree with you whole heartedly in all your wisdom that you are soo spot on and very Blessed. Thank you again for bringing this to light. 💕🙏
Such a great blog with great content and amazing insight we can all make use of. I appreciate you Matt and your blogs. Please come to Colorado! ❤️🫶🏼🙏
Matt my grandmother had a prayer that people would come over to have her help them. She passed and I didn’t learn it. She would pray over my kids all the time . I also want to thank you for doing a reading for me in Palm Springs, my brother and my girl friend came through it’s was amazing just what I needed for closure.
Thank you
Regards
