ENERGY PROTECTION 101

We are all created in our own unique way and affect by energy differently. Regardless of our design, protecting our energy is of extreme importance. Often we may not realize the parts of self that are open and susceptible to taking on & holding on to energy that does not belong to us, so protecting our energy not only benefits our spiritual being, it also benefits are emotional, mental and physical being.

If you are an empath or a highly sensitive soul who often finds themselves absorbing and taking on other people's energy or feel very drained after spending time with lots of people, protecting your energy is essential to your existence.

When it comes to protecting our energy there are 3 ways to approach it.

Prevention - Protection - Releasing

To prevent your energetic field from getting invaded by unwanted energy, a good rule is to simply remove yourself from places, people or situations that do not align with your vibrational frequency. Since this isn’t always an option in life, here are simple and effective methods to protect your energy.

Gem, a rear mineral of the purest quality & crystal, a pure substance that has its molecules arranged in such a way that it creates a geometric pattern formation in some way have long been considered to hold powerful healing qualities. Their energy vibrates at different frequencies that can be felt, especially by those sensitive to energy.

Tourmaline, Shungite, Hematite, Onyx, Obsidian are all stones considered to protect those who wear them from unwanted and/or negative energies. Tourmaline & Shungite top my list.

Tourmaline

Known as the stone of purification clears negative energy & transforms it into good energy that is then used to strengthen the body and spirit. It cleanses the emotional body of negative thoughts, anxieties, and anger or feeling of unworthiness. Tourmaline may be used to activate grounding between the base chakra and the center of the Earth, providing further enhancement of one’s well-being on the physical plane.

Shungite

Known as the stone of life, has the ability to help heal the lower chakras. It allows you to carry the strong protective energies with you wherever you go, keeping you shielded from any harmful radiation you may come in contact with throughout the day. It’s properties can assist in cleansing, healing & purification of the mind, body & soul.

HOW TO BEST CARRY THEM?

I prefer to keep Shungite close to my heart and will often put it in my bra or a shirt pocket and wear throughout the day. I find this the most affective way to protect my heart center which for an empathic being such as me, is extremely important. I like to wear Tourmaline as a bracelet, on my left hand. Again protecting my heart as much as possible. You can find these crystals on my shop in the Energy Protection Bundle.

Known for their therapeutic qualities, EOs are often used as natural remedies. But did you know they also have a number of energetic qualities?

Each essential oils carries not only a wonderful aroma but also vibrates to an energetic frequency that often leaves us feeling uplifted & energized. Oils such as Peppermint, Basil, Palo Santo, & Cedarwood (among others) that have shown to be excellent sources of protection. It’s important, however, to remember to never apply neat (undiluted) oils directly on the skin. EOs have to be diluted prior to dermal use, as intolerance can build up over time.

HOW TO USE EOs FOR ENERGY PROTECTION?

Every morning, I apply the Energy Shield roll-on to my 3rd eye chakra - Ajna center - located in the center of the forehead. As I apply it, I recite the intention on the bottle and ask for my energy to be protected. As I work with energy every day, cleansing my space is important and I use the Deep Inhale or Uplift Diffuser blend to clear any energy that does not belong to me. I simply add a few drops to my diffuser and let it run. You can find these EOs on my shop in the Energy Protection Bundle.

clears negative energy, restores tranquility & calm emotions.

While many use Sage for their cleansing rituals, this is not something I recommend. The EO has a number of safety concerns, and the smoke can cause unpleasant reactions.

An intention is a guiding principle for how you want to live, and a way to bring heart and mind into alignment. By simply setting an intention to protect your energy you can create an energetic shield around your body.
Example of an intention: "An energetic shield surrounds my body and protects all areas of my life"

It’s important to remember that while we can do everything in our power to protect our energy, we can still easily absorb it anytime we leave ourselves unprotected or we can simply have a build up of our own energy that needs to be released.

There are a number of methods we can use to release energy such as Reiki Healing, Forest Bathing, Shower Meditation and more. But that’s a story for another time.
