To protect your energy is a vital process in spellwork. Negative energies will attach to your energy and drain you of your life force if you don’t. Spells can be dangerous if they are done without proper protection.
When casting spells, it is essential to take steps to protect yourself from the possibility of any actual harm coming to you or anyone else involved in the spell working. Protection is an integral part of creating a safe space when doing magickal work. Magick works best when protection is established before any spell working or ritual work begins.
Protection can be accomplished in many ways; here are a few:
- Bathing the body with consecrated saltwater
- Visualizing pure white light around your aura
- Drawing runes/ sigils of protection and placing them in a circle around you before you begin your spell
- Physically build an actual circle around yourself with salt, candles, quartz crystals, or any other object deemed safe to use.
- Singing or chanting hymns/ songs that are deemed appropriate for the particular spell you are doing
- Reciting spells, incantations, prayers, or chants specific to your religion
Once you have chosen the best protection method for you, it is essential to be consistent with them. Be vigilant about protecting yourself before beginning any magickal work! Doing so will only strengthen the power of your spells and protect you from hostile forces who may try to take advantage of your powerful magick.
Ways to Cleanse and Protect Your Energy
There are many ways you can protect and cleanse your energy. However, it is very important to have a friendly and conversational tone. You can help by adding some descriptive phrases/adjectives to make the reader feel relaxed and friendly. Remember, this article should be friendly and easy-to-understand to understand so that people who are reading it will try to follow the instructions. To create a friendly tone, use words that evoke comfortable feelings such as friendly, pleasant, lighthearted, etc.
Some daily activities may bring you harm or negative energy, including others’ thoughts towards you because of your aura, which nobody can see yet, but only a few sensitive people do. As a result, clairvoyant readings during your session usually include past events and things that can trouble you in the future. So, how do you keep your friendly aura intact and feel fresh?
Here are a few things that you can do:
1) Bathe yourself with a cleansing sage smudge stick, One sure way to cleanse your energy is by using an authentic smudge stick. This usually consists of dried leaves of white sage and some other sacred herbs such as cedar, lavender, or rosemary leaving behind its pleasant smell after being burned. Before burning it up, think of your intention, such as wanting protection or just clearing energy around you before doing some spiritual work. Make sure that there will be no uninvited guests before starting this because all living beings have their friendly energy that may interfere, such as pets.
2) Drink a lot of water and eat healthily, Drinking lots of water flushes out the toxins inside your body while eating healthy provides you with friendly energy from Mother Nature. Fruits and vegetables rich in friendly nutrients help your aura glow brightly and smoothly. Just make sure to take them fresh and not cooked or processed, so it’s friendly still.
3) Avoid negative people at all costs, including social media. If there are people who bring negativity in their thoughts towards you, avoid them at all costs, especially on social media like Facebook or Twitter, because it can also impact your friendly aura if they like or comment something negative about how your update looks (which might end up giving other users an impression that you are also negative).
4) Perform friendly cleansing rituals during full moon nights every new and full moon day; gather your friendly stones, crystals, or any talisman that you think works for you, then do some cleansing ritual. You can use this method each time before doing spiritual work to protect yourself.
5) Rely on the friendly energies of the divine. If all else fails, call upon friendly energies from Mother Nature, Angels, and any friendly Deity that will help you stay protected and cleansed. This includes praying or meditating because sometimes, we need friendly guidance rather than something physical that we can hold on to as a shield.
When these friendly energies are around you, you can surely stay protected and cleansed even in a public place because nobody will be able to know about it unless they have their friendly aura. No worries, there is no time limit for this kind of friendly aura to dissipate because friendly energies from the divine always keep us protected and cleansed throughout our lives.
12 Powerful Energy Protection Practices
These are ways to protect yourself from the negative energy directed toward you or caused by things in your environment. I have used all of these at some point, but the last one is the most powerful one when you are being bombarded with negative energy unchecked.
I’ll start with a disclaimer now: if anything I share here helps you, great! Take what works for you and leave the rest behind, as they say. The practices are simple things anyone can do, so there’s no need to feel intimidated about using them. Also, keep in mind that everyone has different beliefs (or lack thereof). Therefore it might take some trial and error before finding something that truly resonates with you spiritually / energetically.
I want to cover how you can protect yourself from negative energy – whether directed toward you (or someone else) or caused by things in your environment. This can be done by using different methods such as crystals, aromatherapy, essential oils, sage, and even the power of prayer. These practices are simple and suitable for anyone with just a little bit of research and effort.
5 Simple but very effective energy protection practices
1) Crystals/gems: You can carry gemstones in your pocket or wear them on jewelry around your neck, wrist, etc. They will help absorb any negativity floating around so it doesn’t affect you. Some of the most common crystals used for this purpose are Amethyst, Black Tourmaline, and Quartz. They also come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, from big ones hidden under clothing to small ones that you can carry in your pocket. If you’re unsure which crystal is best for protecting against negative energy, opt for a Clear Quartz because it has an equal y balancing effect on both positive and negative energy.
2) Essential oils: You have probably heard of aromatherapy by now, so I won’t explain how essential oils work. But I will tell you what my top 3 favorite essential oils are to use as protection from negative energy: Lavender, Sandalwood, and Frankincense. Lavender is excellent for keeping in your bedroom to protect yourself while sleeping. Sandalwood smells amazing! I use it mostly when I’m meditating or doing yoga because it makes my room smell good, but it also has a robust protective effect. And lastly, I like using Frankincense a lot because of its calming and grounding properties.
3) Sage: This stuff is powerful beyond belief! It cleanses the air of negative energy floating around, which can help you feel more relaxed and focused on your work/tasks at hand. You can buy the sage spray from any health food store or burn some dried white sage on a designated excellent burner. Take care not to breathe in the smoke when you are burning sage because it can make you cough or feel nauseous.
4) Prayers: This is my last resort that I only use if I’m still surrounded by negative energy after using the above practices, but it also works very well. Call on your guardian angel or higher power to guide away any negative energy surrounding you. You can do this silently in your head or aloud with a few friends for a more significant effect.
5) Self-protection methods: Chanting, meditating, and positive affirmations are excellent ways to protect yourself energetically from negativity. They will help keep an even keel, so hopefully, nothing can knock you off balance. You can read more about the importance of chanting here.
Ways to Protect Your Energy
I used to go through my day on an emotionally and physically drained tank. It wasn’t until I started learning about the reality of energy that I realized how off-track I was with my daily self-care.
One of the first things I learned was that every person has a different energy, determined by your kundalini (coiled serpent located at the base of your spine). Your kundalini determines everything from the type of people you’re drawn to, to your health issues. It’s essentially who you were before this incarnation and persists throughout many physical lives. So naturally, there are all kinds of energetic highs and lows we experience as we age – some more intense than others depending on the strength of our kundalini.
The main thing to know about your energy is that it’s precious, and once you’re depleted, it’s hard to get back. You can’t ignore your vitality forever; at some point, you will start to break down physically or emotionally if you are not making time for self-care. To make matters worse, I used to go full tilt in life without understanding how my choices affected me until I was utterly wiped out. It wasn’t until I stepped back did I realize how off course things had gotten.
With all of this said, simply thinking about protecting your energy will go a long way. Your thoughts alone can affect your reality and shape how you experience the world. While we can’t control many of the things that happen to us, we can control our thoughts and perceptions.
So Here Are Five Ways to Protect Yourself From Draining Your Energies:
1. Get Grounded
This is always my go-to when I feel overwhelmed or about to throw a tantrum because I’m so tired. When you’re feeling depleted, getting grounded will help balance your body’s energy centers (chakras), give you a firm foundation in the present moment, and connect you to Mother Earth – who supports us all unconditionally. You can do a quick grounding meditation by visualizing roots growing from the soles of your feet going deep into the Earth’s core.
2. Meditate
There are many benefits to meditation, but keeping up with this practice has been one of the best ways to reduce my stress and anxiety levels (which is excellent for protecting your energy). When you meditate consistently, you’ll be able to keep yourself balanced in the present moment, reduce repetitive negative thoughts, improve your ability to handle difficult emotions, and connect to higher realms which can help bring about positive change in your life. Even if your mind is racing when you sit down to meditate, stay with it! Practice makes perfect.
3. Make Time To Rest & Relax
Sleep may seem like the enemy when everything around us moves so quickly. But it’s one of the most important things we can do for ourselves to protect our energy (and our sanity!).
I’ve noticed that when I get less than six hours of sleep, my energy levels tank big time. Also, not getting enough sleep has been linked to cardiovascular disease and is terrible for your skin. Try these simple tips if you’re having trouble falling asleep at night. If you wake up feeling tired despite sleeping eight hours, you might be doing too much during the day, draining your energy reserves.
4. Listen To Your Intuition
Our intuition comes from a place beyond the mind; therefore, controlling it is like stopping the wind. We usually suppress our intuition with thoughts like “that’s crazy” or “I must be imagining things.” Our thoughts can’t change our reality as much as we think they do.
5. Ask For Help
Don’t be afraid of asking for help ever! I used to keep my feelings bottled up inside until I was pushed to a breaking point and exploded all over the place (at which point, my energy levels were depleted). So, don’t waste time figuring out life on your own. It’s okay to ask for support from family, friends, coworkers, etc. Find people who will love you unconditionally and rely on them when you need them most.
In conclusion
These are just a few examples on how to protect your energy that you can easily incorporate into your daily life. Once you get started, I’m sure you will find other methods that are even better for protecting yourself against negative energy. For example, if you’re not comfortable carrying crystals around with you constantly, wearing jewelry made from them is another way to receive their protective benefits.
