Protecting your energy is an essential practice for maintaining your well-being and staying grounded. Here are some ways to shield yourself from negativity or “evil energy”:
1. Create an Energetic Shield
Visualize a protective bubble or shield of light around your body. This light can be any color that feels protective to you, such as white, pink, gold, or violet. Imagine it repelling any negative energy that comes your way.
2. Practice Grounding
Ground yourself by connecting to the Earth’s energy. This can be done by walking barefoot on grass or sand, meditating while visualizing roots growing from your feet into the Earth, or holding grounding crystals like black tourmaline or hematite.
3. Cleanse Your Energy
Use tools such as:
- Smudging: Burn sage, palo santo, or incense to clear your space and aura.
- Sound Therapy: Use singing bowls, chimes, or clapping to break up stagnant energy.
- Salt Baths: Soak in a bath with Epsom or sea salt to detoxify and reset your energy.
4. Set Intentions
Before engaging with people or environments that feel draining, set an intention or affirmation, such as:
“I am protected. Only love and positivity surround me.”
5. Limit Exposure
Minimize interactions with toxic people or situations when possible. Set boundaries and honor your need for space.
6. Wear Protective Stones
Carry or wear crystals known for their protective qualities, such as black obsidian, amethyst, or labradorite. These act as energetic filters.
7. Use Reiki or Energy Work
As a Reiki master or practitioner, you can perform self-Reiki to clear blockages and strengthen your energetic boundaries.
8. Call on Divine Assistance
If it resonates with you, pray or call upon angels, spirit guides, or any higher power you trust to shield and protect you.
9. Practice Mindfulness and Meditation
Regular meditation can help you stay centered and aware of your energy. Techniques like mindfulness make it easier to notice when something is off and address it promptly.
10. Trust Your Intuition
If a person or place feels off, trust your gut and take steps to protect yourself by creating an energetic field or leave the situation.
