How To Protect Your Energy

In my last blog The 5 W’s of Energetic Protection we explored the who, what, why, when, and where behind energy protection. In this installation of this Energetic Protection Series we’re going to get into the HOW. As I’ve mentioned before – energy protection is one of those things that is so simple to do AND it is just as easy not to do. I’m here to provide you with the resources to establish your own energetic protection practice but the choice to implement is yours and yours alone.

Establishing An Energetic Protection Habit

The number one struggle I hear from my private 1:1 clients when we start to explore energy protection practices is that it’s hard to remember to actually do it. And I totally agree. I really struggled with this at first too.

For the longest time I thought energy protection practices were so overly simple that there was no possible way they were actually doing anything. And so I didn’t make them a priority. I would forget to do them and later when I realized I had forgotten I would brush it off with the “there’s always tomorrow!” excuse.

It wasn’t until I started to regularly notice a difference in how I felt when I would pick up energetic cords from passing energies not rooted in light that I started to really prioritize establishing my energetic foundation.

I think of our energetic foundation as being made up of three main components:

• Energetic rituals/practices
• Energetic maintenance
• Energetic education/expansion

Energetic Rituals/Practices are those unique daily practices that help you to stay grounded. They help you to quiet the noise for just a few minutes so that you can set an intention for how you want to show up and engage with your world in the day ahead.

Energetic Maintenance is your energetic support system. It’s the coach or mentor that walks the journey alongside you. It’s the hands on healing – it’s the Reiki Session, the Acupunture Session, the Breathwork session that helps to rebalance your energy. It’s the group healing session or the somatic embodiment work.

Energetic Education/Expansion is how you keep the foundation strong. It’s learning new ways to work with your energy. It’s knowing how to call on and return to your energetic anchor point any time you feel unstable.

I teach all of this in my flagship private coaching container – The Anchored Alchemist – which you can learn more about HERE.

Below are 3 Energetic Protection Practice’s I do daily. While there are many ways to protect your energy – sometimes you just need an example to know how to get started.

As always I encourage you to take what resonates and leave what doesn’t!

Steal My Morning Energetic Protection Ritual

I habit stack my energy protection with my morning shower. If you’re not a morning shower type person – totally fine – this routine can be easily adapted to fit within your existing routine.

At the end of my shower, I set the intention to infuse the running water bright white cleansing light and ask for support from my spirit team to allow the water to rinse away any energy within my energetic field that isn’t mine.

Next I use a Reiki technique commonly known as dry bathing. This practice includes 6 short brushing movements. Start by placing your right hand on your left shoulder. Move your hand in a sweeping motion from left shoulder to right hip. Now take your left hand and repeat that same motion on the opposite side. Then one more time on the original side. From there, move your right hand to the top of your left shoulder sweeping down to your left hand. Now repeat with your left hand – start at the top of your right shoulder and sweep down to your right hand. And finally repeat one last time with your right hand sweeping left shoulder to left hand. This helps me to visualize releasing any excess energy that is still there.

After that I place my hands in prayer position with my thumbs touching my third eye and call home any of my own energy that my have left me as I’ve slept and allow myself a moment to integrate that energy. And finally I raise my hands straight up and use my hands to draw an imaginary bubble of pure white golden light around my physical being closing the bubble at my feet. I adjust to be fully within this imaginary bubble and then visualize that bubble filling with pure white golden light.

The last step is to set my intention for what is allowed into my bubble throughout the day and ask my spirit team to support me in honoring this intention.

This can be as simple as “please allow only energies that support my highest good to penetrate this orb” – but you should set whatever intention feels most aligned for you and use whatever verbiage personally resonates with you.

When I first started to learn similar practices I would get so paralyzed by trying to do them perfectly. I would write down the scripts and try to say them word for word. I would get so stressed out trying to do it perfectly and real talk – perfection doesn’t matter. It’s all about the energy you put behind the intention.

Steal My Bedtime Energetic Protection Ritual

Honestly my bedtime routine looks pretty similar. There is no need to over complicate this. Most nights I take what I consider to be an energetic shower. It’s a legit shower (or bath) but the intention is simply to allow the water (infused with intention) to wash away any excess energy that I’ve picked up throughout the day and to release any energy I’m holding that is not mine.

I used to think the idea of a second shower simply to cleanse my energy sounded so ridiculous but it’s seriously the most refreshing way to end the day and I’ll be honest I sleep a lot better when I intentionally clear my energy before bed.

If for some reason a second shower just isn’t in the cards for the day, I’ll do the same routine but just at the sink. I still use water as part of the ritual. I just infuse the sink water with whatever intention feels aligned instead and then I follow the same ritual I described above. This includes the dry bathing practice, calling home all of energy and stepping into my energetic bubble.

At night I tend to set an intention for a supportive, rejuvenating nights rest and then ask that my spirit team support me in that. But as always set an intention that feels aligned for you!

Steal My Room Clearing Energetic Practice

The last practice I’ll share is my room clearing practice. YES – the rooms in your home hold energy! I use this practice when I move into a new house in every single room before I move anything in. I use this practice on my office and bedroom daily. I use it before every single client call. If I’m being honest, it is just as important to cleanse and protect the energy within your spaces as it is to cleanse and protect your own energy field.

Now as a Reiki Master I do activate Reiki energy through the symbols when I cleanse my spaces but it is not necessary to do that – it’s just an added bonus! If you are attuned to Reiki it is supportive to activate the symbols you have access to.

If you are not attuned to Reiki – Did you know I attune my private coaching clients at the end of our 6 months today? To learn more about my private 6 month coaching container click HERE to request a free connection call to learn more.

Okay so I start by imagining a big platinum fishing net dropping down into the room at the far edge of the room. This platinum net then moves from the left to right sweeping across the room. Imagine it collecting any excess or non supportive energies within the room. When it makes it to the other side of the room simply imagine blowing the net out the window or a doorway.

Then imagine a second platinum fishing net dropping into the room. This time it has a finer mesh. Visualize this second net sweeping across the room from left to right – once again blowing it out a window or doorway when it reaches the right side.

Next I image a bright white golden orb appearing in the center of the room. The orb slowly expands until the light fills the entire room. I, then, set the intention to clear the space of any low vibrational non supportive energy from the space and set an intention for what I plan to use the space for.

I invite you to choose an intention that resonate with you – but the idea behind it is just to clear non supportive energy from the space and open the space up to supportive energies.

This practice is so powerful. It may seem overly simple but it makes a huge difference!

Final Thoughts

Energy protection will look different for everyone. It can be really easy to get caught up in the overthinking trap. I spent many months either feeling like I was “above” energy protection, confused by it, over analyzing the different ways to do it. Looking back – it was so much less complicated than I made it out to be. Just start. You’ll figure out what feels aligned and make it your own over time.

If you’re looking for soul level support and found this interesting – I offer a limited number of one off sessions each month. These sessions can be used to clear your energy, look at your astrology or even tap into the Akashic Records. To book a session – click HERE.
