Lesson 2: Why Psychic Protection

Why You Might Need Energetic Protection

The world is a bombardment of stimuli and interactions. The opportunity to feel overwhelmed, powerless, and taken advantage of is constant. But what if there's a whole invisible protection system that we could activate to keep these interactions at bay and experience more peace and enhance our inner power. This is where the idea of psychic protection comes in.

What is Psychic Protection?

Psychic protection refers to the practices and techniques designed to shield your energy field from unwanted influences, negativity, or even intentional attacks. Think of it like putting on energetic clothing to protect you from the weather.

Why Would You Need It?

• You are an empath or a highly sensitive person. This is not the only reason you would need it, and you might have numbed yourself out to the fact that you are this person. But, if you find yourself easily overwhelmed by the emotions of others, or feel drained in crowded places, you might be particularly sensitive to energy. Psychic protection can help you filter external energies without compromising your empathy.

• You live and/or work in a stressful environment. Environments with high tension, emotionally charged situations, or even places with a lingering history of negativity can take a toll on your energetic well-being.

• Someone else is psychically attacking you. Now this isn’t as woo woo as it sounds. This isn’t about voodoo dolls and needles. When someone is mad at you, or having a negative relationship with you or even the idea of you, they can put holes in your aura. Energy attacks, often fueled by envy, jealousy, or anger can happen from someone you know or even someone who knows of you. Psychic protection can aim to deflect such directed negativity.

• You are reaching for a more enlightened understanding of the world.  As you open up your spiritual awareness, you might become more sensitive to the full spectrum of energetic influences, both positive and negative. Protection practices can serve as a tool for discernment and help you feel empowered to open up to the unseen world.

Signs You Might Need Psychic Protection

• Feeling frequently drained or exhausted for no clear reason

• Unexplained mood swings or irritability

• Increased anxiety, especially in specific places or around certain people

• Difficulty sleeping, vivid nightmares

• A sense of being "followed" by negative energy

Techniques for Psychic Protection

There are many ways to approach psychic protection. We will get into the five tools of protection. But here are the skills we will be using to tap into those five tools.

• Visualization: You will be using your mind’s eye and your imagination to draw in your protective energies.

• Connection with Yourself: Even if it is five minutes in the shower. We will be using connecting with yourself as a technique to listen to your energy and set up protection.

• Breath: Intentionally allowing your mind and your breath to work together sets up a mindful relationship with your own energy.

• Self-Worth: You deserve to set time aside to boost your ability to hear your energy and say a gentle “no” when necessary to the outside world.
