I was born February 21, 1985. For a while, I was around a powerful coven of witches. They turned against me and put a spell on me. I don't know the name of the spell; all I know is that I don't have my mind and thoughts to myself anymore. I am able to hear them invading my mind and harassing me with their voices everywhere I go. They recently brought in regular people to have fun with them. The witches left and went back to Petersburg, but left the regular people in the area and thus the spell in effect. What can I do to reverse it? This has been going on for two years now; I feel cursed! How can I break free of this spell? I need something powerful. I am going crazy and am so sick of them invading my mind. Please help me!

I had some experience with things like this before your question came to me. It's an ugly group that still wants to plague you two years after you left them. You need to banish these people from your life, from your mind, and from your neighbors, and you may need some help to do it.
Don't be afraid to ask for help from the other people you know to be suffering. They may or may not be experienced in magick, but they are probably experienced in prayer, which is all the same when you get right down to it.
Banishing spells are readily available on the internet, but you need to choose carefully and be aware of everything the process requires. Learn whichever one you choose by heart, but keep a written copy with you too in case something unexpected happens or your adrenalin is too high for you to remember all the words and steps involved.
Be sure to cast your circle TIGHTLY and release it only when you feel the time is right. Take your time. Take hours or all night if you need to; the important thing is to be thorough.
If you have the names of these people, write them down on a sheet of paper and carry it into your circle to burn at the end of your ritual. I find that Banishing Spells that contain all four elements are the most effective; Air, Earth, Water and Fire all have to be included for spells like this to work.
It would be great if you can find other humans to help you with this, but if you can't, you can enlist all the Divine help available to you. Worship these Deities in your own way before you start, and never forget to give thanks to them when you are finished. They pay attention to everything we say, but in order for Them to help us, we have to engage their attention.
I find a little fruit is pleasing to Them, especially in winter. Cut up some fruit and place it on a white plate before you cast your circle, and take it into the Sacred Circle with you.
Since you were involved with this powerful coven, you know lots of their practices. If you take back your own Free Will and quiet your mind for a while, you'll realize that you already know what you must do to break free: You simply have to reverse the energy they are sending you and return it to them.
If they've persisted in sending this negative energy for two years, you must seem very powerful to them. For you to draw this much attention from them tells me that they are afraid of you, and what you can do with that fear is limitless. I say you use it to get rid of these emotional vampires once and for all.

Most negative spells depend on fear to be effective. When the recipient of a spell or curse feels victimized, it increases the spell's power. You believe that this coven transferred the curse to another group of people who now maintain it, and they are relying on your fear to keep it going.
First you must rid yourself of the belief that these witches are more powerful than you. Call upon your higher power and ask for its protection and help in bringing this to an end.
Make sure you don't have any writings or possessions of this coven that you received during your involvement with them. Often, these sorts of curses depend on an item the victim is in possession of to direct the spell. If you find anything of this nature, burn or dispose of it immediately.
Purchase a turquoise, malachite or amber stone in the form of a ring, bracelet or necklace that you can wear at all times, for these stones are known for their protective powers.
Next you'll want to perform a freezing ritual to stop this coven dead in its tracks. Gather together a white candle, sea salt, a piece of brown paper (brown paper lunch or grocery sacks work well), and a sandwich-size Zip-loc baggie.
Light the candle and meditate for five or ten minutes, discussing with Spirit the trouble this coven has caused you and how you would like to freeze them from bothering you. Tear a piece of brown paper about four inches long off the lunch or grocery sack. On the paper, write this phrase:
I ask that this coven and all its members and affiliates (you can list the names if you know them) be frozen from affecting me on any level, spiritually, emotionally or physically. Stop their energy cold in its tracks and return it to them tenfold.
At the bottom of the paper, sign and date it. Fold the paper three times and place it in the Zip-loc baggie. Sprinkle three dashes of sea salt into it, and add water until the baggie is two-thirds full. Seal it and place it in your freezer. Plan on keeping it in your freezer indefinitely, for if you defrost it, your troubles may return.
Although this ritual won't harm the coven, it will return to them any negative energy they send your way. Once this process starts and they realize they are creating trouble for themselves, they should cease and desist altogether. It's important to remember that, as spiritual beings, it's better to ignore evil and send it back where it came from than to actively combat it.
This should eliminate the problem and allow you to move forward without fear or worry.

Many times in life we hear, "You will always have what you NEED, but not necessarily what you WANT." Your spirit must have needed to experience the feeling of leaving your human body, and the suggestion in the next chapter of Sylvia Brown's book was all it took to get you there.
Even though you hadn't read it yet, your SOUL recognized the title of that chapter as something it had been seeking, and your soul, knowing that you had that reference to read after your experience, got with it and out you went!
While I don't usually recommend her books, Sylvia Brown has a wide reaching and powerful effect on lots of people. A Gemini like you would be able to relate easily to her writing and put it to good use. Synchronicity - you gotta love it!
I like your description of "getting caught." That's exactly what it feels like, isn't it? One minute you're free and hovering above the room, and the next minute, ZAP! back down into your corporeal form you go!
As a little kid, I loved that "feeling of return." With practice, most of the time we can control that event, but sometimes, when our physical ears hear a distracting noise or something else occurs to knock us back into reality, back we go. With practice you will be able to control your return better.
I find it interesting that you were visiting your mother-in-law and not someone in your own genetic family. Evidently, you and your husband got married for reasons that are even deeper than love. His family's interest in "psychic stuff" will nurture your children in such matters and help them to grow into their own abilities.
You'll never have to be concerned that when your daughter visits them, she'll be discouraged from exploring her own psychic life and power. My parents encouraged me to develop my psychic senses in a time when it wasn't nice to even discuss such things in public. Heck, it's STILL not considered a great topic at the dinner table in some families!
Your kids will get to talk about it ALL and ask questions and read and study. This is going to give them such an edge in life! Talk with your husband about how you want to present this to your kiddos, so that you are united in your approach and ready to tell them their experiences are all natural and okay.
A word or two of warning: Geminis often have difficulty staying grounded in REAL LIFE. Don't get so strung out on your ASTRAL life that you neglect what you're doing here on Earth.
You are at the beginning of a long journey to learn where your power really lies. Try to be patient with this process and take your time.
