Protection
This article is dedicated to various ways you can protect yourself from negativity. Protecting yourself from those negative entities to your everyday negative joe and yes, even our own negativity we put out there to the Universe. We are all human and we all get angry at times and have outbursts and fights. It's our goal to try to eliminate this as much as possible, but we do have to healthily release our emotions (no matter what they are) immediately, so that we are not unhealthily harboring and festering negative emotions. This is not good for your health or your soul. I hope to help you rid you of these very negativities and more.
First and foremost! Always surround yourself with White Light. Do this as often as you can and want. Picture WHITE LIGHT around you, an invisible white light protecting you. Feel it encompass you completely. Also ask your spirit guides, angels and the Universe to protect you and let only those of pure light and purest intent come to you. Always think positively as well, as this will only bring positive to you. :) Also, visualizing a mirror encompassing you with the white light to make another person "see" what they are doing, even if it's just subconsciously, since half the psychic vampires out there don't know they are energy suckers. Focus away/elsewhere when energy becomes too much, or uncomfortable. Energy goes where attention flows, and energy can be either positive or negative, and so as we are learning about how to manage and live in this life with our empathy on and working …. It's sometimes best to turn away and not ‘pay attention' (pay energy).
A lso inform those that are aiming their negativity at you. Are they "aware" of your spiritual path and "into" this type of thing??? If so, you can talk openly and frankly with them, that their energy is sucking yours and you know they have some holes in their aura that they need to patch up, that their problems are causing them to also be energy suckers to compensate for the negativity they put up with. They need to either rectify their situation or get out of it, or put up with it and stop seeing it as a problem. Three options, change, put up with it and stop feeling so negative towards the problem (hence changing their own way of seeing the situation), or get out of the situation altogether. As for you, if they continue to make you feel that way, you have to do what you can to steer clear of them. Although yes, they are good people, you can't keep letting them suck your energy like that. That's not good at all. I get the SAME EXACT way when I am in group meetings, as well as being around one person who is also in those same group meetings. It starts out good, then by the end of the meeting I have lost all my energy and need to RUN from the room or take a couple breaks, etc. Negative people that come off nice enough, but deep down are holding on to sooo much negativity that they are also putting it on others and trying to suck their energy. You need to talk briefly to them, then "get out" as fast as you can. That's the only thing you can do outside of sending them love and protecting yourself (more on this on the next page), till they rectify their issues. But definitely surround yourself in white light while around them and anyone like them, and block yourself from their negativity.
The Universe will give you signs that you are on the right track. I.E. Deja Vu, Coincidences, etc. And you can also make the Universe work for you. By putting out positive thoughts and requests, you are then receiving positive energies back to you.
You can have what you truly desire, (i.e. psychic abilities, that perfect love). In fact, you are supposed to find what you truly desire and make it happen! Keep that thought, manifest it in your mind and it WILL happen. I've been testing this energy/manifesting theory out a lot lately and it works. It's true. The Universe hears our thoughts and feelings and even our fears and produces our thoughts. Thought REALLY IS thing. Like I wanted a friend to call, I put out energy (could almost even feel the energy put out there) and said in my head for my friend to call finally! And seconds later my friend did.
Please also see my Energy Awareness article for why we attract the energies we attract and more ways to protect yourself. Also, please see my Energy Vampire information and see signs if they are hounding you.
How to protect yourself
Raise Your Vibration! And you attract only higher vibrational experiences! Here's how:
- ALWAYS listen to your intuition. If you feel uneasy, there is a reason. Even if you can't see it, smell it, or taste it, it really is there. Pay attention to the signs.
- Ask the Universe to surround the White Light around you at all times. Continuously ask this and visualize this as often as you can. A good visualization is picturing a bubble completely surrounding you and encompassing you with the White Light of the Universe. Ask your Spirit Guides and Angels to also protect and shield you.
- A Physically Fit body is also a Spiritually Fit body/person. Although being physcially fit only plays one aspect in becoming Spiritual Fit, this helps with your Aura and energies that surround you. Exercise regulary (even if it's a walk a few days a week). Eat right. This also includes sleeping right. Get enough sleep. :)
- Stay positive. The positive will come back. If you are positive, you will attract positive and light towards you. So love yourself completely. A good attitude towards yourself and others. This positive influence can only generate more positive energy. :)
- Remember you control your emotions. When you feel a negative emotion coming on. Realize it. Become totally aware of it. Then get rid of it. Choose to be happy. Smile, even if forced at first. Feel the silliness in this action. Say something that makes you laugh. Think of something that really made you happy, keep that thought in mind. Think of a person that makes you feel good. Continue to do this whenever ANY negative emotion comes in. Then you will not be inviting negative energies to come your way. You will be learning from the negative emotions and then they will dissipate before your very eyes. Stay positive! ?
- Try to steer clear of obvious places that attract negativity.
- This is the same with people. Avoid people that are obviously often complainers, gloomy, angry and fearful people. They are sponges waiting to suck your energy.
- Get outside. James Van Praag states in his book to spend more time outdoors, that "this has an enormous positive effect on your electromagnetic energy field."
- Fung Shui!!! ? A good site to learn more about Fung Shui is . This is the art of placing things in a good form in your home and/or office. By keeping a neat environment on top of this, you will feel better and there will be no physical dirt in your environment attracting psychic garbage to you.
- Oh I love this one. Laugh. Laughter has been known to heal physical ailments in many! Did you hear about the guy who was diagnosed with Cancer. He shut himself in his room for a week straight watching literally a marathon of old comedy shows he enjoyed (I think it was either the Honeymooners or Three Stooges), to only rid himself of any Cancer in his body whatsoever. So laugh, enjoy life! Live! :)
- And remember to meditate. Meditating will help you become stronger in spirit and closer to the Universe.
- Smudge (sage) your home, work place and self as often as you think of it. If you can't sage for whatever reason, you can incense as well. Tips on smudging and incense on the next page.
- Water is very cleansing and spiritual. Go to the Ocean and if you can't, visit a lake or nearby stream. If it's too cold to jump right in, just be there with the positive spiritual energy. If you can't get to any of these places, having an nice cleansing bath or shower is also empowering and cleansing. Showers help wonderfully for Aura cleansing. :)
I received some of the above points on knowing when you are in contact with a psychic vampire from Echo Bodines book "A Still Small Voice" as well as James Van Praag's "Heaven and Earth: Making the psychic connection" and also from the many other books I have read as well as from my own experiences.
Smudging
When you feel the need to cleanse your home of negativities (emotions lingering from past arguments and/or upset, etc.), smudging is the most common and most highly recommended process. There are many reasons to smudge and I can't think of one not to smudge. There is no adverse affects. Simply said Sage rids your house of negativity. So get yourself some Sage. White Sage is said to be the best, but any Sage is effective. You can Sage yourself, your home, your car, any object for that matter and so much more. Some say they Sage their home as regularly as they do their weekly or bi-weekly cleaning of their home. And others say monthly is a good practice. Do what feels right for you. When Saging your home be sure to focus strongly on Door Frames: Front and Back door! Go through EACH room, and focus strongly in every corner and windows. If you can (if you own the place), try to also smudge outside the home, on the grounds and by windows and doors. When you start, say the following excerpt 3 times. Also say the following saying again 3 times at each Door you have in your home:
" I call on the spirits of the North, South, East and West. Please come forth. Banish any and all negativity surrounding (((Me, my son, my job, my house, etc.---this is in parenthesis because this is where you will use your own words of what you would like cleansed of all negativity))). I know not who, I know not their name, please send it back from Whence it came. Thank you! " Three TIMES.
Incense Protection
If you're in a REAL need for ridding negativities around you, this is highly recommended. A nice cleansing Louise passed on to me! ? Burn 3 Sandlewood Incense sticks once a day for 7 days. (If you still feel the need after the 7 days are up, burn 3 sticks once a week following.) Each day when you light the incense, say the following saying 3 times:
"As this incense burns away,
All my enemies power fades today.
No longer causing me alarm,
Nevermore able me to harm,
Immune to all forever me,
And as my will, so mote it be!"
