4 Energetic Protection Techniques/Stategies for Empaths:

1) Return to Sender:

When you were feeling an energetic violation, suddenly your mood changes, or you feel under attack and you’re not sure why, ask: 

“Who does this belong to?”

You may see the flash of a face or a person. 

Then say:

“Return to sender with consciousness attached.”

Then, imagine a force field of love surrounding you. This force field is permeable only to the frequency of LOVE. Allowing love to radiate out and for love to be received but everything else bounces off and returns to sender. 

Boundaries are not about creating a fortress around your heart but about creating a force field of protection that is permeable to only that which you choose to give and receive. 

2) Plant Armour: is another line of protective defence against the energies and toxic forces that can come at us everyday. The practice of body oiling with plant essences is powerful and self-nurturing especially for empaths. Use magnesium/Epsom salts baths and sprays to help you to sedate the nervous system so you are stronger and calmer for what comes so you can respond instead of react. My favourite is from @This_Grand_Voyage_ a small batch local maker and herbal medicine woman, Alison Ritchie. Can be found on Instagram. 

3) Juniper Berries: are an ancient auric field protector used by shamans and those who work in the spiritual dimensions. Chew a couple of the dried berries daily. Juniper also works to reinforce on the kidneys and bladder which is the storehouse of fear. Less fear=more LOVE.

4) Bach Flower Essence: a remedy that I have found particularly helpful to increase my boundary forcefield:

5) Protective Rituals and Mantra: Circle of salt or salt in door thresholds, the evil eye (mostly used in Greece), Smudging, Cross, holy water etc. all serve to disallow harmful energies to penetrate your field. 

I use this as my personal mantra for calling in my highest and best. Feel free to use it too:

I release all memories that bind me and I expand myself exponentially. I call forth from my positive polarity all abundance to every area of my being. I call it all forth, by divine right, in perfect ways. So be it, and so it is. 

Questions for Further Exploration:

Can you think of one protection ritual or word(s) that your ancestors used? If not, it may be helpful to explore what one might be. This ritual holds a particular potency to you due to your lineage of which you are a holder. It might be simpler than you think, like how you say goodnight or good-bye. For example; my husband is from a Scottish lineage and the Anderson Clan Motto is "Stand Sure" and represented by a mighty oak with roots growing deeply into the soil and water below. Feel into this memory transmission of the message your ancestors wanted you to carry forward to get you through the challenges. You are seeking an amulet of protection and power left by your ancestors for you to discover and use when you need it. It is always available to you when you need to call upon it and connects you to your ancestors even now. If you don't have one, perhaps it is your assignment to be the one in your life that starts one? Please take time to research this and share with the group on the call if you feel so inclined.

Clearing Statements & Affirmations: 

With one hand on your heart and one hand just below your bellybutton -your "Hara", take slow, deep, conscious recalibrating breaths. See a bright yellow light emanating from your solar plexus chakra, the seat of your will. Watch it grow with each breath as you breathe deeply into this space with full lung capacity. 

Then Repeat:

I am not responsible for the feelings of others

I hereby resign as GM of the Universe

I call all my power back to me

It is safe to have and express my needs and desires

I belong fully to myself

I forgive myself for accepting the conditioning that told me I couldn’t say no

I forgive myself for confusing what I am willing to do with what I’m want to do

I claim my self-sovereignty

It is safe to say No when I feel a No

I will honour my No

I will choose my personal freedom over self-abandonment and resentment

I will protect my energy as a sacred gift to be given for the highest outcome 

I will express myself openly and with highest kind regard with the expectation for others do the same 

I will show myself the respect I deserve and so freely give to others

I will stand by my choices

I can be my own separate self and be lovable

I can tolerate people not understanding me

I am safe even when people don’t like me

I am resilient and adaptive

I stand firmly in my self respect and offer the same respect for others 

I am consistently focusing on creating win-wins

My intentions are clear and motivated from LOVE

I decide for me

(repeat as needed)
