Soul Protection
Many people with chronic fatigue, irritability, sadness, and hypersensitivity (FISH) have negative spirit attachments. Negative spirit attachments can cause these symptoms and more, including herpes outbreaks. Here's the thing. While you're driving to the store to buy the latest supplement or medication to get rid of your headache, stomach ache, back pain, or insomnia, your spirit attachment is secretly going along for the ride and grinning all the while because it knows the problem isn't physical; it's spiritual even though you're experiencing a bodily symptom. It knows you might "treat" the symptom for a while, but when you have a negative spiritual attachment, other symptoms will begin to manifest.
What, exactly, are negative spiritual attachments? They can be people who wish you ill, the bad energy from previous trauma or abuse, negative memories (ones of hurt, anger, shame, or resentment), dead people, spirits, demons, or environmental energies. These "vibrations" can make and keep you emotionally and physically drained or sick because they cause energetic imbalances and enable even more negativity to gravitate toward you, causing a downward spiral in your emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual health.
You must become energetically balanced to fully protect your soul, especially if you're a Highly Sensitive Person. There are ways to eliminate negative spiritual attachments and protect yourself from them, such as cord-cutting (cutting the ties between you and another) and strengthening your energy field to feel safe in your body.
Prayer, chanting, meditation, and positive affirmations can help raise and protect soul energy. During creative rituals, you can use items such as stones and crystals, amulets, sage, essential oils, sea salt, and candles to set your intentions and for additional protection. You can also surround yourself with loving white light. Here are some other ways to protect your energy field (aura) from negative influences, such as harmful spirit attachments, psychic vampires, curses, and the negative thoughts and emotions of others.
Follow Your Intuition
Pay attention to your gut feeling about people, places, and things. Your intuition knows what's in your best interest and what is not. You can learn more about what intuition is (and isn't) and how to magnify yours here. Energy attached to objects can influence your energy. Antiques are notorious for this. Pay attention if you have objects in your home that make you feel uneasy. You may have to have them cleared with sage or crystals, bless them, or remove them altogether.
Walk Away or Block Energy From Others
Whenever you're faced with someone who drains your energy, change your body language to a more protective stance (not defensive, just self-protective). You'll want to avoid making direct eye contact, touching, or speaking with that person if you can help. Leave their presence as quickly as you can. If it's impossible to turn and walk away, protect your energy by visualizing a blanket of protective, loving energy all around you. You can see, breathe, and move under this blanket of positive energy. Stay under it as long as you need to. If this person has bestowed gifts or an object upon you, consider whether it's something you need to keep. Negative energy can attach to objects in a person's possession for some time or have been intentionally "spelled" in some way.
Listen to Music or Sing
Listening to music is an easy way to increase your energy levels. Just make sure the music is uplifting and not headbanging or something that's going to make you cry your eyes out unless you badly need to shake yourself up (dance like crazy) or let go of some pent-up emotion through tears. Listening to the sounds of nature can also be energizing.
Be As Healthy and Energetic As You Can
It's not just your body that can get sick. Your spirit (energy) can too, and you can become physically ill when that happens. You can't separate the two, body and spirit. You are both, and each affects the other. The more unhealthy and unfit you are, the easier it is to attract negative energies that want to set up home in your electromagnetic energy field. On the flip side, when you're healthy, physically fit, and full of energy, your aura isn't nearly as attractive to these types of energies, and it is better prepared to deflect negative energy when it does come sniffing around, which is why your health and wellness plays a significant role in energetic defense.
Engage With Nature
Whether it's walking on the beach, forest bathing, or just standing barefoot in your yard, being out in nature increases your energy levels in a way nothing else can. Read more about the benefits of engaging with nature.
Add Sea Salt to Your Bath
Sea salt is powerful in its ability to dispel negativity. See Sea Salt for Protection.
Avoid Negative Talk
Avoiding negative talk can be challenging. You may not be able to do this all of the time because you may live with people who are negative or rub you the wrong way, or you might dislike some of your coworkers, but it's essential to give yourself "energetical" space as often as possible. Avoid people who always want to complain, gossip, or tell you the latest bad news. Don't have CNN or crime shows running in the background when you're at home. Turn them off or change the channel to something more uplifting. Negative talk is negative talk, whether from another person or the TV or radio. Avoid it as much as you can. You'll also want to avoid negative self-talk.
Meditate or Pray
Meditation brings quiet so you can let go of negative energy or, at the very least, take a break from it. During meditation, you can also use the first suggestion of filling yourself up from head to toe with radiant, loving light.
Surround Yourself With Positive People
One of the best things you can do is to surround yourself with people who genuinely like and support you. Those kinds of people are, sometimes, hard to find, but once you do, you'll likely begin to meet others through them, and before you know it, you'll have established a tribe you can enjoy intermingling with and a few close friends to depend on.
One way to meet your tribe is to join groups with the same interests as you do. What are your interests? Do you like to read, paint, work out, cook, collect something, do craft work, hike, camp, travel, go antiquing, or _____ (fill in the blank)?
Look for groups on Facebook (or elsewhere) with people who share your passions. Better yet, create a group. Positive interactions, being helpful, and sharing kindness breed more of the same, raise your energy levels, and help protect you from negative influences.
You could also visit places where people typically generate positive energy, such as libraries and bookstores, shopping malls, parks, carnivals and fairs, and car shows.
Wear An Amulet
Your amulet can be anything you want it to be: a cross necklace, a crystal pendant, a medicine bag, or a pocket angel. It's up to you.
Apply Essential Oils
Certain essential oils are known for spiritual protection. Incense made from the same plant's essential oils are derived from, such as sage, can also help banish negative energy.
