If you are embarking on any spiritual journey, you will be introduced to spiritual protection. Whether you are at the early stages of your journey or have been on the path for a while, this topic arises frequently with many people I talk with.
However, you may also find this useful if you are a ‘sensitive’.
So, I thought it may be a great idea to cover some main points with you.
What is Spiritual Protection?
Spiritual protection acts as a protective energetic shield by strengthening your own personal energy field.
How do I know if I need it?
Spiritual or energetic protection can be called upon if your energy field is weakened. The most common reasons for this can be through stress, illness, fear, trauma, accidents, drinking and drugs in excess, prolonged grief and surgery.
The best ways to strengthen your energy field is through healthy eating, sleeping, exercise and doing things to make you happy.
However, through everyday stresses and life in general, balancing this can sometimes be a challenge. Our energy field then becomes compromised and vulnerable. This can lead to the following symptoms –
- You are prone to feeling drained by other people or your environment
- You feel powerless in some areas of your life
- The energy around you feels ‘off’
- You feel fearful, uncertain, sad
- You need constant strength and support
- You help or work with others that are challenging
- You are developing your spiritual awareness
- You experience psychic attacks
- Every action you take feels blocked or you feel ‘resistance’
- Negativity follows you everywhere
How can I activate Spiritual Protection?
You can ask God /the Universe (whatever your belief system is) for this activation around yourself, your home and loved ones.
Spiritual protection can be activated through prayer or calling on White Light to surround you (gold light if you are more experienced).
Calling on the protection of your angels or guides to walk beside you during your day is very powerful.
Empaths who feel the energy of those around them draw strength from wearing a pendant such as a cross, sacred geometry or an image of a loved one. Even wearing a simple gold or silver pendant provides a level of added protection.
Crystals also provide amazing support as they add their unique strengths into your own energy field. Some excellent protective crystals for empaths are black tourmaline, amethyst, turquoise, and greenstone. If you wish to give a crystal a try and are unsure which one to choose, go with the one you are drawn to.
Some prefer placing images, statues or candles around their home while others prefer using room cleansing sprays, incense or smudge sticks to energetically protect their living space.
How often should I use it?
It is wise to call on protection when you wake up in the morning to see you through the day, and at night before bed.
If you have a challenging work meeting or have a fearful moment during the day, then you can call on extra support through adding another level of spiritual protection via prayer or light layering.
Important points to remember
- When calling on protection through prayer or any wording such as a mantra or affirmation, you are granting spiritual permission for this to be activated. If you do not ask, you will not receive.
- The intent behind the request is equally important. The energetic vibration the request is activated from determines the level of protection you receive. The beauty of this is, we always are provided for what we need at the time.
Affirmation from Archangel Michael for you
‘I am a Divine Child of God and the Universe. Within my light resides my strength and protection. I am ready to project my light and welcome in the wonders that are abundantly mine to receive. I am safe, I am growing, and I am protected on my path.’
