How to protect ourselves from spiritual things

I've been really suffering since 2 years ago. Please help.

I don't have any psychic powers, but I would like to give you some advice.

There is a large temple called Zenkoji in Nagano City, Nagano Prefecture.
Please get a bill or amulet there.

You probably don't think it has anything to do with spirits, but...
I recommended it to people who are being bullied at school, and the bullying went away.
It seems that that person was able to carry chopsticks for academic success without taking them off their skin as amulets.

I won't go into details, but there are about 2 other examples.

My real name is “Yoshimitsu (Yoshimitsu)”...
I'm wondering if that was beneficial because Yoshimitsu introduced Zenkoji.

Please refer to it.

Think of the Buddha in your heart, nembutsu

Please imagine the Buddha in your mind and keep singing Namu Amida Buddha.

[Update again] Please let me know

It's been two years, and that has been painful for a long time, hasn't it? That must have been difficult.

If you don't mind, please ask me another new question and tell me more. The monks all think together.

As you say “spiritual stuff,” you probably don't really understand what it is. That's because humans are afraid of “things they don't understand.”

What kind of symptoms/phenomena are there
How is that uneasy or fearful
Was there a trigger or an idea that came to mind

It doesn't matter if it's as far as I can write. Please let us know. I'm waiting for you.

Also, if you find it difficult to write, please read past questions and answers from the “Tales and Demons” category set up in this question.
You may be able to find some hints in your case from questions from people who have suffered in the same way and from monks' answers.

is that so? That's painful, and the families I know are worried too, aren't they? The first thing I thought was that my great-grandmother also had that ability, and can't I ask the great-grandmother herself or the people around her what she did at that time? Senpai's steps are very helpful.
Then, if you don't mind, please post a new question rather than a thank-you comment. It's easier to answer that way. I'm not going to let it cool down.
However, there are people who have various opinions about spirits and curses. If anything, I'm a “naive group,” but in terms of Buddhism, I think that would mean “I don't know.” However, what is important is not whether “there is or is not,” but the “fact” that you actually see it that way.
I think we can think about that together, whether it's a scientific fact as a phenomenon, or whether it's a fact as your mental phenomenon due to some cause.
We will also listen properly to your story, so please listen to this story as well.
Well then, I'll be waiting for you.

Settings are not useful

If a setting you have decided once for yourself is deeply rooted, the self-delusion story will unfold over a long period of time unless it is dispelled, and suffering may worsen as a result.
Once, it's about completely denying everything you think, think, and feel like turning the tables upside down.
If you are in the position of being an heir to Itako and God's culture, which has been inherited since ancient times in Tohoku, then you should use that power to help people in need.
Rationally speaking, there are healthy thoughts among thoughts, and there are also negative thoughts that give rise to delusions.
When negative thoughts become excessive, we are possessed only by those negative thoughts.
If you do zazen meditation and keep your mind undisturbed, you won't be threatened by your own thoughts.
It's about knowing that it is an illusion created by one's own negative thoughts in the first place.
There were ascetic monks from Akita who also had that kind of power, but customs peculiar to that prefecture and that place give rise to their own work. There's no way I can add any meaning to it.
That thing, which has no meaning at all, is hypothetically named and made spiritual.
Humans have the power to read the other person's true intentions and the power to read the past and future to a certain extent.
However, when that power is linked to one's own thoughts or delusions, one's own delusions and negative thoughts may become excessive due to loss of control.
In your case, this is probably your symptom.
The fact that I think I have such special powers is itself a pain and hindrance.
People with good eyesight are people with good eyesight. People with excellent hearing have twice as good hearing.
People with excellent sensitivities have twice as good sensitivities as people.
Is there anything wrong with that?
You can affirm that power yourself and feel what comes to mind as it is without linking it to delusions. This heart is like an inn where no one stays forever.
Thoughts and delusions are like travelers staying in an inn.
The traveler has already left. Right now, there are only things that are happening right now.
Please spend your time not chasing past thoughts or travelers who have left.
