Spiritual Protection

Written by:  Rho (Intuitive / Medium)
Spiritual protection is important because it not only protects our aura and energy, but it also provides a spiritual protection boundary where seen and unseen forces cannot penetrate. Spiritual protection provides one confidence and a stronger vitality.

What can make us susceptible to energy drains or manipulations:

• Fear
• Lack of knowledge
• Insecurity
• Blaming
• Looking the easy and quick way
• Feeling guilty and other negative emotions

The first step is spiritual protection is awareness of what we action and attract in our life. What we attract is the energy we are putting out by our feelings or inner landscape. It is important that we learn to spiritually protect ourselves and to discern whether a psychic attack is occurring or are we creating our own negative landscape.

Developing a relationship with our belief form of Creator or Divine is a great start to strengthen our spiritual boundaries. The term “the universe has your back” is true! It does, but you need to develop a relationship with Creator / Divine. Get into the practice of acknowledge Divine in the morning when you wake and express one or 2 words of gratitude. At midday think of Divine and offer a brief connection whether it is a 5 minute breathing meditation or go for a walk and notice where do you see and feel Divine. Prior to falling asleep talk to Divine and offer some type of gratitude or reflect back on your day to become aware when you felt or experienced Divine. If you wanted to journal the experience do so.

In building the relationship with Creator you are building a spiritual force field. Other ways to protect yourself is by buying crystals that offer protection. The following are some crystals that can be used:

Amethyst is a common crystal that we all know of.  It is a stunningly beautiful stone and it has legendary powers.  Amethyst is said to align with the Divine. 

Aquamarine is great to be used for clarity, cleansing and calming.  It is an inspirational stone for truth, trust and letting go.  In ancient times it was believed to be used by sailors for good luck and protection.

Black Tourmaline was viewed by ancient magicians as a protector when they would cast their spells.  Today it is still revered as a powerful talisman for protection and as a psychic shield deflecting negative energy.

Clear quartz is considered the purifier and amplifier.  Shine clear quartz throughout your body or use it in a space for energetic clearing and it will increase positive energy. You can direct it through your finger to empower, activate or amplify the energy contained within an object or charm.

Aromatherapy can also be used for protection. The following are some fragrance oils that can be used.
