The Importance of Protection

One of the most important things we can do for ourselves in this day and age is protect ourselves from the negative energies and entities that surround us. Having a daily cleaning routine and protecting our space can do wonders on keeping those nasty energies at bay as we go though our daily lives. So here are a few really good practices to keep:

Your personal space: The photo above shows the “Evil Eye” which can be worn or placed in windows and/or doors to keep negative spirits and energies away. Placing herbs, sacred objects, or talismans around your home, work and car helps put up a solid protective barrier around your space. Even with a good protective plan, it is also important to periodically clear energies out that sneak in by using sage or other protective incense or sprinkling salt water or herbal infused waters around your space at least once a month. You may need to do this more often if you work in healing fields and may accidently bring things home, or invite people in your home that may carry negative energies with them. Empaths should expect to clear their personal space more than others as well, as unfortunately unless very well adept at personal protection, have a tendency to collect other peoples junk. 

Your Body: Clearing energies out of your energy field is very important. Most people shower every day and this is the perfect time to take a moment to set your intention to remove anything that may have taken up residence in your energy field. Using something like my Creature Removal Salt Scrub is great for those hard to remove creatures, but even simply setting your intention every day is important and can work wonders. Using a salt spray like my Witches Holy Water is also great during the day to make sure to remove anything that gets stuck on you while your out and about so you don’t accidently take anything home. 

Your Spirit: Keeping your personal energy field strong and safe is one of the most important things you can do for yourself. Everyone has different techniques for this, but I find a simple mediation and setting my intention works great. It is important for most of us that this is not a long and involved process as this will lead to not doing it. So simple is usually best. I like to use a piece of one of Robert Moss’s work as a protection. It simply says “May the door and gates and paths of any who wish to do me, or those I love, any harm, be closed!” This can be said in the shower, the car, before you pop out of bed etc. Simple, yet very effective. I also like to picture I am in an egg of golden light and that only that which is positive and helpful can enter or exit. 

I hope these simple ideas can help keep you safer and happier on your roads of life!
