Psychic Protection.
Before talking about psychic protection one will probably wonder what it is and why someone might need it.
Do you find that you have a problem with such things as insomnia, poor sleep, nightmares or low energy levels ? Particularly around certain people and/or in certain places ? Do you find that you sometimes lose a lot of energy (psychic draining) in these circumstances ? Perhaps you are constantly lacking in energy ? Maybe being diagnosed as having chronic-fatigue-syndrome (cfs).
If the answer is "yes" then chances are that you are under intentional, or unintentional, negative psychic influence. What some people call being under psychic attack. Psychic protection is what one may choose to learn to counter such influences.
Before we can better understand this we need to understand what these negative influences are. Put simply they are usually able to be put into two categories. Thought energies (or if they have a shape - thought-forms) and negative spirit influence. Negative thought energies are created by someone (dead or alive) thinking negative thoughts e.g. anger, hatred, fear etc. If the person is thinking these thoughts towards us then they are projected in our direction. In addition as negative spirits like negative energy these people will often accompany the energies. Particularly if this is done "formally" i.e. a spell.
Fortunately there is a defense against these things. Positive energies will dissolve negative ones and we can arrange for positive spirits to help protect us against negative ones. There is nothing particularly profound about it. To cancel out a fire water is a good response. The principle of using an opposite response to a spell is along the same lines. The negative thought content of a spell, or any other form of psychic attack, can be "cancelled out" by directing a positive thought-form of the same, or greater, strength at it. When they meet the negative thought-form will dissolve.
The effect of negative entities can be "cancelled out" by positive entities of the same, or greater, strength. If the positive spirits predominate then many of the negative entities can be "cleared" (permanently) to spirit worlds. Positive thought-forms are created by positive thoughts. A good method is to imagine oneself filled with (and radiating) a hot, bright, golden light. Like one is a miniature sun.
Getting help from positive spirits is arranged by requesting it. Prayer in other words. A good wording for such a prayer, and a list of recommended approaches is in our suggested approaches to spiritual growth.
Three other points worth noting :
(1) There are some reasonable books that can be purchased on this topic. Apart from the booklet we have written on this topic we have written a list of books primarilly related to the topic of psychic protection click books on protection.
(2) If someone is currently sending you negative effect, as in a spell, then you need to direct light etc. to them constantly. Until you feel they have stopped. If you "clear" yourself today then there is no reason why they cannot dump you with new discordant energies tomorrow !
(3) Keep in mind that things can take time. Some people think that praying for one night and imagining white light around them for five minutes will solve all their problems. This is unlikely. Suppose discordant effect had built up around you and/or your house for ten years. Do you think it reasonable to expect it to go in five minutes ? Think of it this way. If you had a blow torch could you melt an iceberg ? The answer is of course yes, but....it would take more than five minutes !
Psychic Protection

Everyone can benefit from using some level of psychic protection in their lives, but if you work a lot with people, particularly with the vulnerable, or as a psychic or healer, then you should build psychic protection into your daily routine.Many ‘New Agers’ believe that if they are working ‘in love and light’ nothing can harm them. Wrong! You can pick up psychic debris from places and people just by being there, and of course when you move negative energies in a healing you don’t want to take them away with you in your energy field! Psychic attacks can also be made by people, sometimes unintentionally, and by discarnate entities. Unfortunately just as you may attract the attention of guides and angels as you follow your spiritual pathway, so you may attract the attention of other less desirable beings. Many who rush into healing without proper guidance and care, particularly those who aim to ‘become a Reiki Master in a weekend’ are especially at risk. Fortunately there are a number of ways to prevent you being ‘easy prey’.At its most basic ‘psychic protection’ is about keeping healthy. People with a robust constitution are much less likely to pick up negativity. If the aura is kept strong and resilient any negativity will bounce off and it will be much harder to ‘get at you’. All the usual health advice- regular exercise, a healthy diet, enough rest and relaxation, no smoking or drugs and very moderate or no drinking will help to keep you well at every level.Limit the time you spend in close proximity to electromagnetic fields. Sit further from the television and don’t leave electrical equipment on in the bedroom, even on ‘standby’- these energies are harmful and can weaken your energy field over time.Keep your thinking positive- negative thinkers are less healthy generally and can’t repel challenges to their systems as effectively- whether it’s a cold bug or a negative thoughtform.Get outside! Some places are particularly cleansing and recharging. A walk by the sea invigorates mind, body and spirit. Alternatively any other stretch of clean running water is cleansing. Hilltops are usually healthy places to go, aim for somewhere with clean air, where the breeze can blow through your aura and refresh you. Even in a City it is good to get away from the streets and into a park. Natural energies, particularly from trees can really perk up your aura. If the sun shines take the opportunity to sit or stand in it for a while-you can feel the rays topping your batteries up! There are some simple aura cleansing and protecting routines which will help to keep your energy field in good shape. You won’t want to use all of these- you’d never get out of the door in the morning! Experiment to find a combination that suits you and your lifestyle.Stay grounded. Visualise roots growing deep down into the Earth from the soles of your feet. Being ‘well grounded’ offers a great deal of protection. Practice your grounding visualisation every morning and whenever you feel ‘spacey’. Carry hematite or another grounding stone with you if necessary. Visualise a bubble around yourself, protecting the outer edge of your aura like a strong, flexible membrane. Your bubble can be filled with any colour that takes your fancy when you visualise it- or even be rainbow hued. Experiment to see what you feel most comfortable with. Make sure that your bubble goes all around you- behind your back and under your feet too. Use your intention to ensure that the bubble repels all negativity, but will allow positive energies to flow through it. Put your bubble in place whenever you feel the need for protection. Instead of the bubble exercise you may use a hooded, floor length cloak or a shield decorated with a protective design of your choice. The shield idea is versatile as you can use a ‘mini shield’ over any area you feel vulnerable, such as your solar plexus.Develop awareness of your own energy field. If you are in a crowd or on public transport pull your aura in close around you so that you aren’t wafting through other people’s energies and unwittingly offering something the chance to hop on you! Remember to let your aura expand out again afterwards otherwise you will begin to feel decidedly ‘uptight’!!If you shower in the morning visualise the water flowing through your energy field carrying away any negativity down the plughole with it. If you prefer a bath you may add sea or rock salt to the water- about a cupful- dissolve it well. Salt has long been renowned for its cleansing properties.Use crystals. Several of the crystals have strong protective qualities. Favourites are black tourmaline or tourmalinated quartz, but you may also like to try black obsidian or smoky quartz.Use essential oils. Put a drop in the palm of your hand, then rub your hands together and pass them through your aura. Try Eucalyptus, Juniper or Frankincense. You can use Aura Soma products in a similar way. The Deep Red Pomander is recommended for those working with crystal energies.Experiment with essences. There are many brands on the market offering Psychic protection formulas, or you could dowse up and make your own crystal essence.Carry a symbol of protection that is meaningful for you, such as a cross, a pentacle or a Star of David. A paper representation will do, but you may prefer a piece of jewellery.If You Suspect You’ve Picked Something up...Signs and Symptoms-Feeling down or angry with no real cause- especially if this is out of character for you. -Feeling really drained or tired for no reason-Having odd thoughts that just don’t sound like you-You have feelings of being out of control-Bad dreams Don’t panic! The vibration of fear is attractive to all sorts of nasties and won’t do you any good anyway. Keep calm and try one of the exercises below. If you still feel something is wrong contact an experienced healer. Hold your hands under cool running water, especially the wrists. This is especially helpful if the feeling of something ‘not being right’ comes on after being around others.Take a cleansing shower or salt bath as described before. It may just be some ‘psychic debris’ that needs to be dissolved away.Visualise a shower of light running through your aura and dissolving any negativity.Check out who you’ve been talking to! If you communicate with your guides or angels this can help your development as a healer, but if you invite communication with all and sundry you are putting yourself at some risk. Remember there are always bad guys balancing out the good guys. Don’t believe everything you hear on the psychic airways!Smudge through your aura or use frankincense. Use a cleansing spray or gem or flower essence through your energy field.Carry some black tourmaline with you.If you feel someone ‘has it in for you’ visualize a mirror sending any thoughts they have about you straight back to them. This won’t hurt them if they are actually sending positive thoughts. If you are picking up a lot of negative vibes (or worse) on a regular basis take a good look at your diet, lifestyle and way of working. It is likely that your aura needs to be strengthened. I've found Judy Hall's book on psychic protection excellent to fall back on over the years. If you are persistently troubled by psychic protection issues it would also be worth consulting an experienced healer.
