INTRO
As an empath, you may find yourself attuning to other people’s energy unconsciously. The almost instantaneous drain you feel when you walk into a crowded room is just your light body trying to equalize the energy in the room. You are feebly attaching yourself to the lowest vibrating thing in the area.
By protecting your light body you can ensure that you are the only writer in your story.With the proper protection you will be able to notice energy shifts but you will no longer be attuning yourself to these shifts.
If your energy is protected you will no longer have to call it back because it cannot be tapped into.
Emphatically this is in an attempt to somehow balance out the room’s vibrations. If you understand the law of entropy then you know how this works.
Chaos will disperse in any way that it knows how to in order to stabilize itself. To make the chaos less concentrated.
Even if you aren't directly channeling a singular person's energy you are adjusting to all of the entropy in the room.
You're the light, the disperser, and the unconscious stabilizer. This means that if there are 100 people in the room and 25 people in this room are giving out indecisive and chaotic energy your light body is attempting to balance this power out.
There are so many ways to counteract this problem. And all solutions will lead you to generate your own unique channels to source energy so that it can properly be stabilized or redirected.
If you are not an empath this becomes even simpler because you know that you are mainly dealing with people who are energy vampires. This is going to be an easy process for you to identify the energy drainers as well as barricade them from your source energy so that they don't even get the chance to drain you.
The vibrations of other people can impact you in unexpected ways. We are going to fix these issues by using the laws of nature and rituals. These are studies of energy and we are going to apply them in spiritual and holistic ways to keep your energy as pure as possible.
Practices that will keep you protected
There are 3 things that should always be under protection: your mind, your spirit, and your space.
These things are sacred and should be attuned to your own energy on regular everyday bases. Of course, unless you are performing deity channeling and attunement but it's important to learn protection before you jump into something that's a bit more advanced.
That being said you will need a proper purification for these to work the best. You wouldn’t want to begin your protection work if you are full of stagnant and old energy. The point of protection is to keep energy sacred and pure; you wouldn't trap a fart in a jar. Or at least you shouldn't.
1. Setting Boundaries
Setting boundaries is going to help protect your phone from harmful situations and people. But what do healthy boundaries look like? Identify things and situations that make you feel uncomfortable.
Are you uncomfortable because these situations are actually harmful to your mental or physical state? If so say no thanks, it is okay to pass on things that are going to put you at risk for a downward spiral.
Think about what’s going to be the best for you long term, don't allow what others say or do to have any control over your own actions.
It is easy to set up boundaries that are going to keep you safe and comfortable but that does a lot more harm than good. Challenge your comfort zones without compromising your own wellness.
Healthy boundaries are going to allow you to live freely without allowing others to take advantage of you. Boundaries are not equal to toxic self-defense mechanisms.
2. Warding with intention and your own energy
Warding with your own energy and intentions is by far the simplest way to keep your space and spirit protected. You will begin by rubbing your hands together rather quickly.
Imagine this to be the building of energy and when you are ready you are slowly going to separate your hands and you will see what I can only describe as clear light or even a slightly tinted ball of light formed from the power of your hands.
This ball of light is your ward. It is going to keep all energies within the bounds of this ball to be pure. Keep expanding in this ball past the width of your hands so that you are now completely submerged in this light.
To keep just your spirit protected you can stop once you have been fully submerged however I highly recommend that you take the light and extend it into all the corners of your room both high and low.
If you are doing this working to protect your home it's easiest to take this room by room making sure to cover the entirety of your premise. Pay attention to any windows, doors, mirrors, hallways, or any place that may be used to gain access to your most sacred of places.
Warding with the help of Herbs
After you have successfully protected your spirit and space with this light practice you can enforce the bounds of this ward with four basil leaves in the corners of the space you want to protect. Fresh leaves work the best and can be replaced on a monthly/ quarterly basis depending on how often your wards are tested.
Otherwise known as effectively keeping bad energy out; bad energy both conscious and subconscious can weaken and even break your ward. That is why I think it is so important to have many layers of protection. If you stay ready you will never have to get ready.
3. Guardian Spirits and Angels
Here is a list of protective entities who can protect you in more realms of existence beyond the physical.
WARNING: No one has the exact same relationship with a deity or divine entity of any origins. It will be up to you to maintain and achieve a relationship with these deities for effective protection.
Call upon your spirit guides and ask them to keep you protected from all things you cannot see for yourself. Ask them to protect you from physical harm and psychic attacks both conscious and unconscious.
Don't forget to honor them and express your gratitude for all the hard work your spirit guides you to to keep your spirit and space safe and secured.
Ritual Blend to purify and protect your space
This is a simple ritual blend you can make to protect, bless, and keep your space protected. In a bowl or mortar and pestle, you can combine...
Myrrh ( protection)
Frankincense ( divine favor)
Rosemary ( purification)
Amber Resin ( Remove Stagnant and bad energy)
Copal ( to intensify and consecrate your space)
My favorite way to burn this blend is in a fire-safe bowl on top of charcoal tablets however, you do have the option of creating your own incense cone for easy burning.
CREATING AN INCENSE CONE
Take your ritual blend and mix in water a little bit at a time until you have a moldable consistency. But make sure that it's not too runny! It's also easier to do this if your ritual blend is ground into a powdery consistency but you will still find success with a chunkier blend.
In small amounts, you can take this mixture into the palm of your hands and roll it into a cone shape. It doesn't have to be perfect and doesn't necessarily have to be a cone shape. It can be a ball or stick-like shape with a flat bottom.
Allow your incense shapes to dry completely before you burn them on a fire-safe plat or incense burner.
With this ritual blend, you can smoke cleanse all the spaces you want making sure to leave the windows open during this process, so as to let negative energy escape.
While using this ritual blend you can recite Psalms 23, a common Christian prayer for protection, or say a prayer from your heart asking your spirit guides for assistance or general protection from the ritual blend itself.
Protective Crystals
Carry these crystals on your person or leave them in spaces you frequent to channel their protective properties.
Remember that it's important to spend time with your crystals and be clear on your intentions. A well-fed and directed crystal is going to work 100 times better than a crystal you set down and forget about.
Best places to put crystals
Bra
Pockets
In your headscarf
In a mojo bag
As part of jewelry: necklaces, bracelets, waistbands, hair accessories, thigh beads, rings
In a long sock or boot
Purse, bag, backpack, or fanny pack you carry with you
on your altar
In your room
On your desk
Apart of wind chimes
Apart of dream catchers for astral protection
Outside doors to any places you want to keep sacred
Along the bounds of any ward
On top of your plant's soil
Under door and welcome mats ( small crystals work best)
In an updo
Under your pillow for astral protection
6. Crown Coverings
All Spiritual practices are very much rooted in some form of faith. And “veiling” is not a new concept by any means although it has been known by many names, such as headwraps or head coverings.
Ask a woman of faith why she covers her head and it's going to be for modesty, for protection from the god they worship and praise. Yes, items can be enchanted for protection but you don't have to enchant a proper head wrap.
The purpose of covering your head for protection is to put a physical barrier over your crown chakra to keep all the sacred energy you carry within the bonds of your light body. Your crown chakra has several spokes coming from your head that both receive and give messages.
Ultimately your crown chakra is your connection to the divine but do not let this fact slip through your mind, that we are all made up of divine energy.
So while you can receive from the source you can also receive from all manifestations of the source such as other people.
A proper head covering looks like covering the totality of your hair and especially the crown of your head.
However, if covering all of your hair is not exactly what you are going for, I'm going to show you how you can enchant hair accessories as well as any other item you want to carry on you for protection with prayer.
7. Enchanting for protection
Naturally Gold and silver have protective properties. Silver ( Moon association) is feminine protection while gold (Sun significance) is more of masculine protection.
With these properties alone you can use your intention in combination with a purifying ritual blend and a prayer to enchant any object. For the purposes of protection, you can take either metal and smoke cleanse it with a protective incense while you recite or say a protection prayer to enchant any jewelry or object.
This enchanted object can be carried on your person or left in an area you want to keep protected from the outside world.
Quick Tip: It is believed by many rootworkers that your footprint can carry your essence and can therefore be used against you. Someone can take your footprint and use it in a hex or jinx. In order to combat this, you can slip a piece of silver into your shoe to keep your spirit protected while out and about.
There are so many ways to keep your spirit and space secure, the more ways you include the better your protection will be.
When your energy is protected you have liberated yourself from the energetic randomness of the collective conscious and unconscious. No longer will you be subjected to the energetic waves of others, a true spiritual freedom.
