I agree with Richard in that I believe it's all catalyst and it's how you deal with it that's important. Who knows if it's self induced or imposed by another being...
When needed I usually ended up praying an 'Our Father', a 'Hail Mary' then asking Jesus the Christed One, His Mother Mary, the Archangels, my higher self and guides to protect me and remove any negative cordings, attachments etc.
I have also used a Hebrew protective mantra on occassion for the last couple of years: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYUvxaorblo
The guide teaches you how to pronounce the words then you get a sample of how it's chanted. It's wonderfully rhythmical once you get the hang of it. It's an invocation of the protective archangels and the video has a nice feel to it. I think it's the voice and clouds and symbols.
My son and I used to go for walks and sing it as we go along.
This is the blurb of link I attached previously:
"This is part of the bedtime Shema, the prayers and meditations before sleep, found in the Siddur after the evening service, Maariv.
One of the most ancient names of G-d is "El" - and we see that name in the names of the angels.
The first angel is Michael - "mi"="who" - "C"="like" [is] like G-D - right side
The second angel is Gavriel - the Gevurah, power of G-d - left side
The third angel is Uriel - the Or - light of G-d - in front
The fourth angel is Rafael - healed by G-d - following
The fifth angel is Shekhinat El - the Shekhina - feminine presence of G-d - above the head.
The breathing sounds are reminders to take deep, full breaths as you do the meditation, through the nose, holding slightly as feels comfortable.
This meditation brings great protection and comfort, and can be used as a mantra anywhere, anytime."
