Protecting Your Energy

Energy is powerful. You are made of energy, and it connects you with the planet, animals, plants, and people.

Without energy protection, you become vulnerable to attracting negative energies from others, and from your environment.

This is especially the case if you are an empath and you're highly sensitivity to other people emotions. You can quickly absorb their energies, and as a result, your emotions start to resemble theirs rather than being truly your own.

Be aware of your own negative energy and thoughts.

Do you often have negative thoughts, whether it is about yourself or someone else? Are you feeling depressed and constantly telling yourself that you're not good enough and you're unworthy. Do you harbor hate towards someone else, or you engage in hurtful gossiping? You are operating on a low vibration when you are doing this. Lower vibrational energies will attract other people, things, and situations that present themselves on this energy level. You'll meet people who don't have your best interest in mind, develop illnesses and attract diseases, experience financial difficulties, and overall feel as though life is a struggle.

Clear Your Negative Thoughts Towards Yourself and Others

It is important to let go of any negative thoughts you have towards yourself and others. Replace them with positive ones instead, and accept other people's differences. This doesn't mean that you should be happy all the time, ignore your own feelings, and put up with people treating you anyway they choose. Acknowledge your feelings of sadness, hurt, fear, etc., and allow yourself to experience them so that you can recover from them more quickly. Define your boundaries clearly so that others will know how you want to be treated.

Limit your contact with energy vampires.

Energy vampires typically have a negative opinion of everything and everyone they come into contact with. They rarely demonstrate happiness for anybody or anything and are constantly complaining. Your energy will be drained and your vibration will be lowered by this kind of person. You must minimize or avoid interactions with them if you want to protect your own energy. But perhaps you are unable to? You can use energy protection in this situation. You may use one of the following techniques I decribe below.

Surround Yourself With a White Light of Protection.

Ask God, Archangel Michael, your spirit team, or whoever resonates with you at the time to protect you by saying, "God, please surround me with your white light of protection." while visualizing a white, shining light all around you.

Imagine That You Are Inside of a Bubble That Protects Your Energy

See that this bubble won't allow any negative energy from outside of the bubble to penetrate your aura. This bubble can be clear in color, or a solid color such as purple.

Envision a Daisy Flower Absorbing the Negative Energy Then Blow the Petals Away

Observe how the daisy blossom is soaking up the negative energy while it is directed at you. When the person is finished, blow the petals away from you and back to Source.

Recycle the negative energy into positive energy by gathering it and throwing it into the earth.

Imagine that the negative energy collects in front of you. Then direct it into earth, and watch as it is recycled back up as positive energy.

Raise your vibration to protect your energy field.

As already discussed, being in control of your negative thoughts is one technique for raising your vibration to protect your energy field. Other methods include:

• Keep Your Space Clean. This is important to do in your home, car, and office.

• Eat Healthy Foods. Eat foods that are natural, such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and avoid or limit high fat and highly sweetened foods.

• Exercise. It is important to your well-being that you get at least half an hour of exercise daily.

• Get Plenty of Rest. Feeling restful increases your energy and keeps illnesses away.

• Meditate. Staying connected to a higher power is significantly beneficial for your mental and physical health. There is no right or wrong way to pray, just as long as you are meditating regularly.

• Avoid Toxic Substances. Using substances, such as smoking, drinking alcohol, and abusing drugs, will lower your vibration and increase your chances of developing illnesses or attracting diseases. If you have a substance addiction, consider discussing this with your doctor, or joining support groups.

Protect the energy of your environment.

Burn Sage

You can eliminate negative energy from your home when you feel it necessary by safely burning sage. Alternates to sage include juniper, cedar, lavender, and rosemary.

Keep Energy Crystals Around You

Energy crystals, such as Smokey quarts, black onyx, black tourmaline, jet, and hematite, are powerful at cleansing the negative energy in your environment, and protecting you from them. You may keep them in your home or office, or carry them around with you as a jewelry or in a bag.
