Protection

As lightworkers and those exploring the spiritual realm, protection is absolutely crucial. Energy exists on a spectrum—when you heighten your own energy, you simultaneously open yourself up to lower energies. The brighter your light, the more dark energy may be drawn to you, attempting to dim your glow. If you allow it, negative energy can latch onto you, holding you back and creating chaos in your physical, emotional, and environmental well-being.

Let me be clear: bad energy is what makes us sick. I’ll say it again—bad energy is what makes us sick. I’m talking about serious illness, like cancer. Stagnant, negative energy over time can manifest into disease. This is why, as a spiritual individual and energy healer, protecting yourself is non-negotiable.

Here are some of my favorite ways to shield yourself energetically:

1. Call on Divine Protection

Ask Archangel Michael, your guides who love you unconditionally, and your higher self to shield you from anything that does not serve you.

Invocation:

“Archangel Michael, my guides who love me unconditionally, and my higher self, please protect me from anything that does not serve me. Thank you for your protection.”

2. Envision a Golden Dome of Protection

Visualize yourself inside a golden dome of light, allowing it to shower you with love and safety. Then, reinforce the dome with an iron-clad outer layer. You can also extend this protection to your home, car, or any space that needs energetic shielding.

3. Speak to Your Water

Water holds energy and intention. Before drinking, infuse your water with positive affirmations:

“Please fill me up with everything I need to be the healthiest, happiest, strongest version of myself. Please wash away anything that does not serve me. Thank you.”

Drink with intention. You can also label your water bottle with words like “protection,” “health,” “beauty,” “strength,” “love,” or “wealth” to amplify the energy.

4. Surround Yourself with Mirrors

Visualize yourself inside a circle of mirrors facing outward. These mirrors act as a shield, preventing negative energy from reaching you and reflecting it away.

Affirmation:

“Only allow white light and unconditional love in.”

5. Send Protection Ahead of You

Before entering a challenging situation, send your guides, higher self, St. Anthony, Archangel Michael, or any protective energies to the room in advance.

Invocation:

“Please protect me from any negative energies. Give me the power, confidence, and words to respond in the highest vibrational way possible.”

6. Use Reiki Symbols (Even If You’re Not Attuned)

Even if you haven’t been formally attuned to Reiki, I believe you can still harness the power of sacred symbols. The symbol Cho Ku Rei translates to “All the power of the universe is here.” It cannot cause harm—it only channels pure, positive energy into any situation.

Use it as a simple yet powerful affirmation:

“Cho Ku Rei—thank you.”

Protecting your energy is just as important as maintaining your physical health. By practicing these techniques regularly, you’ll strengthen your spiritual resilience and ensure that you remain in alignment with your highest self. Stay bright, stay protected, and never underestimate the power of your own energy.
