Protection Manual: Useful Tips and Troubleshooting


One of the repeat items we all have to deal with is protection. This post is dedicated to energetic protection.
Let's start by getting a visual idea. The physical body has an immune system to protect it from disease. We can either, support and strengthen the immune system through supplements, a balanced lifestyle, dietary choices etc., or we can weaken it through neglect of our physical bodies, stress and toxic exposure.

  Similarly, we have a system that protects our energy bodies. Imagine yourself watching a cartoon and you can virtually see the energy in vivid color. If the energetic immune system is strong, the person is surrounded by a bubble of bright light possibly tinted in light shades of gold, white, pink, violet or green. This bubble allows light to filter through and purifies/transforms shadows and slimy green energies heading its way. Like a trampoline, unfit energetic clusters bounce off, so that the soul within the protection bubble can maintain its truthful self-expression. As you know from experience, there are times when we happily cruise through life, well protected, capable of holding our alignment even in the midst of challenging energetic circumstances, while at other times the slimy green and black specks make it through and we get sick. When that happens we want to apply some tools to strengthen our protection and to learn valuable lessons, as to why our energetic immune system was compromised in the first place.

1. First of all a couple of 101 reminders:
a) Darkness is the absence of light.
b) The Divine Forces (i.e. Guardian Angles) are not allowed to help unless you ask for it.
So the first thing you want to do when you feel like your protection has been undermined or you need a boost, ask for help!
c) Ask the divine beings to put a protective bubble of white light around your whole being in all time and all space (Visualization of a space-suit like white bubble where negative energies bounce off, Chakra-Meditation (see post), Flower Essences i.e. Golden Armor by Green Hope Farm (see post on Flower Essences) are useful additions to this step).

2. Get in the habit of regular energy clearings. The same way you need to take a shower to maintain your physical cleanliness, it is important to cleanse your aura, home and work space regularly in order to keep your energetic immune system strong. If we go back to our cartoon image you can see that if there are grey smudges in our light bubble, they would appear like cracks and these cracks can undermine our protection (If you are not familiar with clearing procedures yet, I will dedicate a future post just on clearing, in the meantime you might wish to already read the post: The importance of art and objects).

3. If you are dealing with a continuous collapse of your energy protection it is important to start troubleshooting since there are many possible reasons why a soul creates energy cracks due to internal, karmic patterns (read posts on Psychic Sponges, Energy Vampires, Enchantments and Curses).
a) The first step is always to have the awareness and ask the right questions.
Observe the situation and notice if a pattern has been established: "Every time I meet with so-and-so I feel drained. I wonder why?" "Whenever I go to crowded places, I start to feel heavy and tired. What is the reason that I can't stay in my frequency yet?"
b) Scan your system for negative/unresolved emotions like guilt, fear and empathy. We all have moments where we don't feel like we deserve to be in the light and
well-protected while we see other souls suffer. That is one of the things we all have to learn on our path to enlightenment. Can you enjoy your own good karma while others are still battling in hell? Do you allow yourself to have full divine support, even though you have made mistakes? How scared are you of other people's jealousy towards you if things start going too well? Are you addicted to drama because you are getting love and attention from your environment when you suffer? Is your soul committed to suffering because you feel that is the only way you are going to learn and evolve?
These are just a few examples that can lead you to potential internal saboteurs.
When you find an internal aspect that undermines your protection find ways to transmute that aspect. Often times, it is as simple as to make a different choice.
I.e. I am choosing to lead by example and stay in the light, because I can. That way I'll inspire the souls around me to do the same. Other people's jealousy is not my problem; my job is to stand in my truth, not to be a slave to other's dysfunctions. I am here as a student, not a master of this reality; therefore I do deserve a second chance and forgive myself for any wrong doings.
Going back to the cartoon example, the negative emotions have the power to create cracks from the inside. When you fill the cracks with light by transforming the negativity your bubble once more will be intact.

4. As always, this is by no means a complete guide on protection. Add any other tool and method that works for you and stay open and curious, Awareness is the key and all the answers needed will be provided, just stay open and curious!
