Essential Oils for Spiritual Protection
There are specific signs of negative energy about a person, place, or thing you shouldn't ignore. If you notice any signs below, you can use essential oils to protect yourself and your spaces.
Signs of Negativity
- Strange sounds and noises
- Things moving by themselves, with no explanation
- Bad smells that you can't find any reason for
- Light bulbs and appliances going out or not working right
- Plants that won't grow even when you care for them well
- Pets are often sick or die.
- Seeing shadows and getting "goosies" (tingling and goosebumps)
- People are often "not well" (feel under the weather, are sick, chronically fatigued, anxious, or depressed)
- Restless and anxious pets can indicate negative energy accumulating in the home. Cats and dogs can see energies, so if your pet is staring "at nothin' that ain't there," pay attention.
Possible Causes of Negative Energy Shoring Up
- Negative energy can be left over from previous residents from trauma (chronic illness, abuse, deaths)
- Negative energy from people who are involved in dysfunctional chaos and conflict and often express negativity, anger, and aggression
- Energy vampires
- Household clutter, hoarding, keeping a lot of old junk in the house that's broken or no longer used

- Negative energy that's attached to antiques, old toys and mirrors, and objects used in dark magic.
- Unwanted or problematic guests or visitors
- Books, magazines, diaries, and illustrations containing something evil, demonic, or violent
- Dark magic, hexes, curses, and spells
- An area of high electromagnetic energy, especially around water (lake, river, underground stream)

- Sudden physical pain, illness, or discomfort that is relatively unexplained

Essential Oils for Spiritual Protection and How to Use Them
Essential oils can be used for spiritual protection. Certain essential oils are known as high-vibrational oils and are thought to raise positive energy levels. These oils include frankincense, lotus, lemon balm (melissa), myrrh, rose and rose otto, and sandalwood. Lemon balm, for example, protects against unfriendly, negative, complaining, toxic people and energy vampires. You can use essential oils in the following ways.
- Use a diffuser to scent and purify a room or your home, or add a few drops of essential oil to a small pan of simmering water on the stove. If you have a cat, doing one room at a time is better. Please close the door of the room after removing your cat, and don't let your cat back in the room until it's aired out. Cats don't have the enzymes necessary for breaking down essential oils in the body. Inhaling or licking essential oils can kill your cat. Dogs are OK with essential oils. Still, if you are using a strong scent, it's also best to remove them. You can also use a humidifier (one that you can use essential oils in).
- Or, add 8-12 drops of essential oil to a cup of warm water in a spray bottle, shake well, and spray around the house.
- Place your oils in a small bottle or cork jar, and you can inhale them any time you feel the need to. Essential oils don't need to be diluted unless you are applying them to your skin.
- To apply to your skin (to wear as a perfume oil), dilute your essential oil(s) in a carrier oil before using (30 drops to 2 tablespoons of carrier oil, such as olive oil).
