Client Question: A Mother’s Fear and a Spirit Encounter
Alyssa reached out after experiencing something deeply unsettling. On more than one occasion, she awoke at night to see what appeared to be a young girl in her room; a figure she initially believed was her daughter.
“I am seeing a young girl at night. Both times, I thought it was my oldest daughter. The first time, I realized it was not her because I went to look at her, believing she had died and come to me. Last night, the ghost actually touched me. I knew something was terribly wrong from the look on her face. I screamed my daughter’s name because I thought she was choking. I believed she had fallen to the ground. When I turned on the light, she was gone. I went to my daughter’s room and woke her—she was fine and had not been in my room.
I don’t understand why I always feel like this is my daughter. I don’t know if this is a premonition or a warning of something to come for her. I don’t know if it is someone completely different and I am assuming it is my daughter, or if someone needs my help. I have always felt the need to hurry.
I have slightly heard things and seen things before, but I have never been touched to be awakened. This is new. Please tell me what you can.”
Spirit Insight: The Good News First
The first and most important message from Spirit is this: your daughter is safe. There is no premonition here, no prediction of harm, and no warning of something to come.
What I sense instead, for you specifically, that the spirit is a past-life trauma involving a child, likely connected to your soul lineage and carried forward energetically. When past-life experiences involve unresolved fear, loss, or urgency, they can surface during sleep, when the conscious mind is quiet and the subconscious is open.
Why Spirit Used Touch to Get Your Attention
Spirit communication can happen in many ways; dreams, sensations, sounds, or visuals. Touch, while startling, is sometimes used when the soul is urgently trying to be noticed. That said, fear does not mean danger, it means attention without boundaries.
What’s important here is not what appeared, but how you responded. The moment fear took over, your mind filled in the blanks with worst-case scenarios centered around your child. That’s completely understandable for a parent, but it’s also where your power can be reclaimed.
This Is Not a Premonition: Take Your Power Back
I strongly advise against entertaining the idea that this experience predicts something negative. Fear feeds imagery, and imagery feeds fear. Instead, this is an invitation to heal old soul memories and establish energetic boundaries.
You cannot always control spiritual impressions, but you can control your response.
A Nightly Protection Exercise for Peaceful Sleep
I recommend the following grounding and protection exercise every night before sleep:
-
Visualize (or imagine) your home wrapped in white light.
If visualization feels difficult, simply pretend. Intention is just as powerful. -
See angels of white light surrounding your home, standing in a circle, anchoring divine light from above, washing over your family and clearing all unwanted or intrusive energies.
-
Say this prayer aloud carry’s power (modify it as feels right to you):
“I welcome into my sacred space all angels of white light to watch over us. Help us fall fast asleep, peacefully and safely, held in divine protection, with sweet dreams until morning’s light (or say your desired time). When we wake, I know we are safe in the presence of angels.”
Why This Works
This exercise does three powerful things:
-
It sets energetic boundaries
-
It calms the nervous system
-
It reclaims sovereignty over your space
I’ve personally practiced similar invocations since becoming a mother, to ensure peace, protection, and uninterrupted rest. I also use them before travel or daily activities.
The Bottom Line
We can’t control every energy around us, but we can control how we respond. With practice, this nightly ritual will help bring peace to your mind, body, and soul, allowing old energies to release without fear.
Trust that you are protected. Trust that your child is safe. And trust that peace returns when boundaries are lovingly set.
