How Can You Protect Your Energy?
Energy protection is HUGELY IMPORTANT. I would say it is more important than everything else you do in your spiritual practice. Whether you are doing psychic work or you are just sensitive to energies around you, having protection is necessary. So how do you protect your energy then? The great news is that it is so simple and free! And you can do it yourself very easily.
So lets talk about why its good to have protection around your energy. You have an energy field that comes off your body, and we call it our aura. Your energy field is unique to you and it reflects how your energy is flowing through your body. If it’s healthy it will be different colors like yellow, blue, purple, pink, green, orange, red, and white. It can appear in a manner of different ways and it reflects your personality, mental health, spiritual connection, and physical health. Some other colors that can show unhealthy areas are black spots, grey spots, and sometimes appearing as puss or infections. This will appear to everyone differently because we all interpret things differently. This energy field is usually about 3 feet off your body but it can be more or less depending on your mood/energy levels. So if you are walking around without protection you can be open to all sorts of negative energy mingling with your own. This is especially for people who are sensitive or empathic. I will explain why in the next paragraphs.
I will use myself as an example here because I realized that not protecting my energy was causing a lot of fatigue, stress, and frustration. When I walk into a room or spaces I first examine everyone around me. This is a habit I have from past trauma so not everyone does this. I am empathic and very sensitive to feeling energy in my body. These are my strongest abilities. When you are empathic your aura is porous like a sponge, and when I was feeling out everyone’s energy I was soaking up some of their energy. I would get so overwhelmed and flat out exhausted after trips to the grocery store or going in places with a lot of people. I took a psychic abilities class and my teacher was like “Why do you do that? Have you had something happen to you that makes you feel unsafe?” And that was a huge realization that I was expending my energy because of my trauma. I am still working on this but I do consciously make an effort to reign in my own energy when I go out in public.
Now how do you protect your energy? Do I need to buy 100 crystals to wear around everyday? No you don’t have to get a bunch of crystals to protect your energy. They can be helpful and pretty though! All you need to do is close your eyes and imagine a bubble of protective energy around your energy. If you are someone who likes to speak words instead of imagine, you can call upon the powers of protection to put a bubble of protection around your own energy. You can pick whatever colors you want and you can make layers if you want to. It’s that simple!
Having protection around your energy is really helpful while we navigate the earth right now. The energy is absolutely insane. If you are sensitive at all you definitely feel the stress and anger that the collective is feeling. Use your protection to keep out these extra energies. Make sure to ground yourself as well. Protection and grounding are essential to keeping you in the present moment. When you stay in the present moment you can think clearly, and that will help you stay focused!
