How to Protect Yourself

Last night, a dear friend of mine asked me about how to protect yourself when you are surrounded by negative people. This is an excellent question and something we all need to know how to do! If you are unable to distance yourself from those people, or have to spend time with them daily, then you really need to know how to protect yourself. That negative energy can effect you in so many ways! It can cause blockages and energetic sludge in your chakras and aura as well as just draining you emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually.

I protect myself pretty much daily no matter if I am leaving my house or not. I especially protect myself if I am communicating with Spirit or if I am going out into the world. I am an Empath, so people who feel the emotions and energy of places and people strongly (like myself), need to shield themselves to even try to stay healthy and to keep themselves from absorbing other people's negativity. People who are not Empaths can still feel that negativity, and it definitely takes it's toll on your overall health.

Here is one very effective way to energetically protect yourself. Take a moment to ask either out loud or in your mind for God, or God and your Angels to put the white light of their love around you. Picture a protective bubble of that glorious white light surrounding you from above your head to below your feet and all around you. State out loud or in your mind that no evil or negativity is allowed to permeate your protective shield. That is all, it's that easy! If your religious or spiritual beliefs differ from mine, please feel free to change the wording. This only takes a few moments and can even be done while in the presence of others without them knowing and still having as much power and effectiveness.

If you are attuned to Reiki or other healing modalities, you may definitely incorporate them into creating your protective bubble! I use Reiki along with asking God and my Angels to surround me with the white light of their love. The Reiki feels right to me and adds that extra protection that works for me. You will ultimately find what works best for you. If you are comfortable with communicating with your Spirit Guides and/or Angels, you can always ask them to show you how to protect yourself. That is partly how I came up with how to energetically protect myself.

I happen to love working with crystals. I believe that certain crystals can also help protect us from negative energy. A couple of crystals I like to wear when going out is a clear Quartz and Amethyst. Both are very good at protecting you from negativity. For me, it just gives me that extra protection on top of my protective shield. What crystals do you feel protect you?

We all know that we need to take care of ourselves. We are bombarded with images and articles on how to eat well and exercise to keep ourselves healthy and strong. Of course diet and exercise are very important, but, sometimes we forget how we (and our surroundings) are made up of energy and we need to take care of ourselves energetically as well. Take a moment each day to protect yourself. I promise you will feel better!

If you try the protective shield that I've mentioned, please share with all of us your results! If you have a different method that works for you, please share that with us as well!
