Hello /fringe/, I apologize for the length ahead of time.

Recently, I made the decision to really dedicate myself to magick in its various forms. I have been practicing several times a day, following techniques found in books and online, including on /fringe/, and doing a lot of work on my self both physically, mentally, and psychically. I do not follow one tradition or the other and my terminology may not be exactly correct, so I hope you can understand what I am trying to get across.

One thing I have noticed is that I feel my progress is being stunted. Not that I am following anything incorrectly or that I am somehow "behind" but that there is literally something holding me back. The last two nights have led me to believe that some entity has possessed me or at the very least is attempting to hinder my progress.

Both of these instances occurred deep in meditation as I was working on developing my "psychic self-awareness". I think this could best be described as "energy work". Feeling my psychic body, conceptualizing myself and space in my mind's eye, beginning to flesh out my self-awareness in higher planes of existence. When I begin to really reach a state of complete body/mind separation and feel as though I have "split" from myself is when the problems start.

The first time, I was flooded with terrifying, extremely vivid thoughts that were so jarring they completely caused me to lose all focus and concentration. It took everything for them to not overpower me and send me mad. The following day I was in a very depressive and unsettled mood. I had actually completely neglected the experience and was still down all day and not feeling myself.

The second time, as I had just settled down to begin, I felt a horrible sharp pain in my head that was like an intense migraine which lasted for about 30 seconds. It subsided and I began my work and, after a period of time, more terrible thoughts came but I was able to clear my mind and work through them. It was then that I actually felt "it". Like a heavy presence surrounding me, and like my psychic body was being clawed at, held onto, and pinned down. Again it shocked me and startled me so much that I immediately lost what progress I had made and could not continue.

So what should I do? Does this sound like an actual external entity attempting to prevent me from gaining magickal skills? Is it a self-imposed mental block keeping me from going on? Is it a kind of possession that will linger with me? Why me? On top of these questions, what can be done to prevent this from happening? What are the first steps in psychic self-defense?

tl;dr experiencing negative being fucking around with my progress, how do I stop it?

Do LBRP before you begin, to clear out the space.

If you remember what the entity felt like, before you begin the ritual you can project it some short distance away, then watch it dissolve once you complete the circle.

If it's still there, do your best to stay calm and confront it. Good luck OP.
In my experience, LBRP is pretty effective. There are lots of little details that seem like they don't matter, but it works.

>why me?

…because you're trying to break free. Anyone who tries to break free will be attacked. They want you and everyone else to just be herded along and exploited spiritually indefinitely.

I've been experiencing setbacks similar to this as well OP.

OP here, thank you all for the replies. I will look into the LBRP and attempt it tonight, how crucial is it to follow the procedures step by step? Or is it more of the act of "cleansing a space" or "putting up a shield"? Are these entities prone to the symbolism traditionally used in these rituals, or the ritual act itself?

Maybe I was getting a bit ahead of myself in thinking I could progress and advance on my own? These rituals have resulted from a long line of esoteric and occult practices and perhaps I was too quick to pass them up, finding them overly complex/unnecessary.

I will say that aside from these experiences, I have felt a general increase in my overall skills and individual well being. I finally feel like I am getting in touch with my true self and can progress towards exercising my will to its fullest extent.

Thanks again and will repost with results.

I'm a beginner so don't take my words to heart:

If you look up LBRP, it'll tell you. The purpose is in its name; Banishing Ritual. It Banishes and makes a sacred temple in your area.
