If you’re a sensitive or empathic person, you tend to pick up on other people’s negative energy whether you like it or not. This ability is amazing when you’re connecting with friends and family, but it becomes a heavy weight on your shoulders every time you go out in public or interact with other people.
Negative energy comes from people’s emotional, mental, or spiritual state and feels heavy, draining, or disruptive. If left unaddressed, this energy can interfere with your mental and physical stress, leading to anxiety or disease.
You may need psychic protection if you’ve ever felt drained after being in a crowded place or if other people’s moods affect your own. The good news is that everyone, even beginners, can implement basic protection techniques (you may even already use some of them).
To give you a head start, we’ll guide you through four easy-to-implement techniques and how to include them in your daily routine.
1. Learn to Ground Yourself
Grounding connects you to Earth’s energy and helps you feel stable and balanced.
Do you know the saying ”Go out and touch grass”? People use it to tell someone who seems or feels unhinged to go and find balance. But, it’s also a literal interpretation of grounding techniques, where the simple act of walking barefoot on grass or soil is stabilizing.
The physical connection with the Earth can naturally calm your mind. Grounding reduces feelings of overwhelm, clears scattered thoughts, and strengthens energetic boundaries. It’s also an easy first step to psychic protection for beginners because it comes naturally to any human being.
2. Implement Visualization Techniques
Sometimes, you’re not just picking up random negative energies; you also feel like you’re under attack. It’s like someone is deliberately directing waves of strong negative emotions your way. When this happens, you tend to feel tired and low-energy, and have mood swings.
It may sound a bit silly, but there are people out there who can channel (intentional or not) their negative emotions in a specific direction. So, if you exhibit any symptoms of a psychic attack, it’s important to take action right away.
Visualization is a powerful yet simple way to protect your energy. You only need your imagination to create a mental shield that blocks negativity and helps you feel safe.
Here’s an easy technique: Close your eyes, take slow breaths, and picture yourself surrounded by a glowing white light. Imagine it forming a bubble around you and see this light keeping out anything negative while allowing positive energy to flow towards you.
3. Understand the Power of Crystals
Crystals have long been used for protection, and many believe they can absorb or deflect negative energy. Think of them as tiny shields you can carry in your pocket or include in your accessories (pendants, bracelets, or earrings).
Start with easy-to-find crystals like black tourmaline or amethyst. Black tourmaline is often called the “ultimate protection stone” because it’s believed to block negativity, while amethyst helps create a calm and balanced aura.
To enhance your crystal’s protective properties, try holding it close to you while setting an intention like: “This crystal protects my energy.”
4. Practice Cleansing Rituals
Cleansing rituals make you feel a little bit like a witch and help remove negative energy from your space or yourself. It’s kind of like spring cleaning, but for energy.
There are lots of rituals you can try, but if you want something easy to perform, start with sage smudging. You’ll need a bouquet of dried sage and the flame from a candle. Light the tips of the dried plants until they smolder and gently wave the smoke around yourself or your home while setting an intention for cleansing.
You can use salt if you don’t feel comfortable with sage smudging. Due to its color and composition, salt is seen as a symbol of purity and protection. Place small bowls of salt in the corners of your home to absorb heavy energies or take an Epsom salt bath for personal cleansing.
Add some meditation music to any of these rituals, and you will start seeing results right after!
In Summary
Psychic protection is about re-establishing harmony. Think of these techniques like tools designed to help you feel balanced, safe, and connected. Whether you’re grounding your energy through nature, imagining yourself wrapped in glowing light, or cleansing with sage and salt, there’s no wrong way to begin.
