PROTECTION – Myths, Methods and Mis-interpretations
I promised readers last month when I wrote about ghosts, entities and spirits to use this month’s article to talk about protection. Don’t worry I’m not taking you back to school and sex education lessons and I’m also not referring to some back hander to your local mafia soprano… I’m talking about protecting your energy, your aura, your soul your space and your very being.
What has surprised me over the years and especially during my time on Psychic television is the amount of hocus pocus myth surrounding this important area of our well being. I’ve heard people invoking the higher realms of Metatron, their master gate keepers and all manner of hexa-do-deca-hedran (no such geometric form, I know) shapes to protectively surround their energy. People have been sneaking amethyst crystals into their bras or fashioning highly expensive pendants from it, and the amount of times some new age witch accidently ‘spritzed’ me with a space cleanser as she wily nily raced round the studio was laughable.
I certainly don’t want to appear glib or flippant when sharing a couple of these stories, as at the end of the day if we truly believe in something working, there is a power in that intent and I always value that. It is just certain ideas, or knowledge and wisdom that gets written about and passed down over the years can lose its true purpose and potency, or be mis-interpreted by new initiates who look to others for clarification. I have seen many so called spiritual organisations develop more and more complex procedures for protecting your energy which is basically spiritual ego taking over and creating a hierarchy of knowledge and power.
If we back track through history briefly, protection has always been an important part of our conscious and subconscious actions. From the Chinese emperors of the past who used to dress in silk, shuffle their feet and avoid eye contact, to the middle ages where the Roman armies used to create thought forms of Minotaur’s and such like on the astral plane to protect their armies (people were more clairvoyant in those days as a rule). Both examples show how we are ‘vibrating energy’ and our thoughts carry energy and that there is constant interaction and exchange of these energies with other people and other peoples thoughts.
Where does that leave us today? Well core facts remain; you are a cellular being of vibrating energy and you have an aura of energy which holds all the soul information about you, , your thoughts carry energy and seeing this applies to everyone, clothes, furniture, houses, cars and places will obviously carry energy too. There also many levels / planes of existence including the etheric, physical, mental, higher mental, astral, universal and bodiless body levels (among many others) where other energies exist too.
Many processes that people use are fear based, protecting from the outside in so to speak. If you worry about all the energies I mentioned above you would end up not going out and not interacting with life. They say things like ‘I’m too sensitive to travel on the tube.’ ‘I can’t go into that old pub I pick up on too much of its past.’ ‘I can’t work in an office, I’m too sensitive.’ These are excuses to not have to take responsibility for life and the challenges your soul has actually chosen to learn, by experiencing life. Actually, no energy can invade your space without a mirror for it to attach onto, hence the old Zen saying ‘If you walk through the battle field without fear there is no room for the tiger to insert its claws,’ Is very telling.
So, it’s time to reclaim your power and settle into a clear direction for protecting your energy. I have broken the rest of this article up into four specific areas to work on your protection in a simple but powerful way.
- CLEARING: All of us have emotional, past life, ancestral and karmic blocks within our being which will usually be the root cause of any sensitivity we have. First up is to do some work on cellular clearing either through emotional therapy, past life regression, journeying or other tools you may have been working with to release blocks from the past. For example Jane cleared a life where she was a 16th century nun who abused her religious power to gain control over others. In this life the guilt she had carried forward made her susceptible to getting involved in any dramas with people who were suffering at the hands of others. In her own words she was a right sucker for a sob story. (Her subconscious guilt was trying to repay back all the souls she felt she had wronged in the past life).
- INTENT: It may sound obvious but it is important to repetitively tell our subconscious that it is protected. We lock the car, reassure our children they are safe and yet forget to do the same for ourselves. The most powerful form of protection is retraining your subconscious to know implicitly it is safe and protected. It is much more powerful to resonate your protection outwards from the core of your soul than to keep trying to ‘stop stuff coming in.’ Two of the most powerful affirmations I use with my clients are
- Only light radiates from the core of my soul
- I am safe, secure and protected by my light at all times. I am now free to be me.
If you choose to say these affirmations, I would recommend 11 times per day for at least 33 days. What is important is that during that period of subconscious re-patterning, any entities, destructive thought forms or negative blocks that are linked to insecurity, fear and feelings of impending doom will ease out of your aura, where by moving to the edge of your space the lesson will be a lot easier to recognise and clear.
- DAILY CLEANSING: After points 1 and 2 now would be the time to implement some form of daily cleansing of your energy and aura. I personally imagine plugs in the soles of my feet and release all destructive and negative thoughts and emotions into a pot below them. Then I ask for the pot to be taken into the light to be transmuted into positivity and used for good wherever needed. (Always be responsible for your negative energy) and then ask for a golden bubble of protection to come around me and my space and fill with a light healing colour that I breathe into my body, finally stating intent for my positive day. Yes I am externally protecting my energies but more importantly I’m starting the day with a clearer energy so that I will know when I have negative thoughts or energy come into my space from others or myself.
- MANAGEMENT: Following on from point 3 the ideal time to recognise and de-link form negative energy is when it first enters your space. So if it is a negative interaction with another person, a place you have gone to, a destructive thought or emotion you are experiencing you can deal with it in the here and now. Recognising that you have been triggered by a negative energy gives you the ability to own it to clear it and to de-link from it.
Notice the difference with responsibility. You have set up a 4 point action plan that enables you to take full responsibility for your interactions with the universe, and not use the excuse that someone or something else from this planet or another realm has invaded your space. That is actually one of our core soul lessons at this time in history to recognise our self worth and that we are fully connected to the higher consciousness that is always within.
I always practice what knowledge I share and would like to think that 25 years of not having had as much as a headache tablet, of being very psychically in tune with spirit and yet ride on the tube, have a pint in the roughest pub, and willingly spend restful nights in so called haunted houses should give you more confidence than a ‘spritz’ of space cleanser or a piece of amethyst in your pants.
