The Shamans have a belief that is similar to what I believe .That for some people their seems to be an illness of unknown orgins that comes before their
actual enlightment.
The illness acting as a cataylast to propell the person towards their own spiritual awakening.
I agree for alot of people this is true .As I myself experienced and unknown illness which lead me to seek answers that in turn lead me to my own spiritual awaking.
I would not be surprised if the same is true for your friend.
I do think it would be wise with her being so psychicly open that she use the meditations on this website to raise her vibrations and for protection.
Lower level energies are attractted to great sources of light especially when this light is yet reached its higher levels and is still vunerable to attacks.
Raising her vibrations will make it impossible for these lower level energies to effect her.
Basicly they won't be able to touch her without getting burned.
Then only reason they have been able to bother her right now is because she has not yet awakened so her vibrations are lower.
When is the best time to destroy a flower?
When it is yet a seed!
These lower level spirits know that once her spiritual awakening or vibration raise to a higher plane that they will no longer be able to effect her and once more once that has occured she will in effect be more than capable of doing them harm.
In other words they are afaird of her...and want to keep her from moving on to the higher levels because they know she will do much good ,
She not allow the energies to frighten her....keep in mind that they can do her no real harm ...they are only able to scare,lie and decieve.That is their nature.Because fear keeps a person from having faith.And that is how they hope to hold people back.Faith and raising her vibrations is her strongest weapons.Hope this Helps!

Love & Light Eternally,
