Soul Protection
Many people suffering from chronic fatigue, irritability, sadness, and hypersensitivity (FISH) have negative spirit attachments. Negative spirit attachments can cause a range of mental, emotional, and physical symptoms, such as moodiness (anxiety, depression, anger, rage), headaches, dizziness, roving pain, sleeplessness, and stomach complaints.
If you're driving to the store to buy the latest supplements for fatigue, your spirit attachments may be secretly going along for the ride. The supplements you take will never work because the problem isn't physical; it's spiritual, even though you're experiencing a bodily symptom. What do I mean by spiritual? I mean, picking up on negative vibes from people around you or being attacked by negative forces (demons, ghosts, residual energy, and EMFs) that affect your energy negatively. Supplements won't help. You need to sever the attachment.
There are ways to eliminate negative spiritual attachments and protect yourself from them reattaching to your energy field, allowing you to feel safe in your own body.
Prayer, chanting, meditation, and positive affirmations can help to raise and protect soul energy. Items such as stones and crystals, amulets (for example, a cross necklace), sage, essential oils, sea salt, and candles can be used during these types of protective rituals to set your intentions and provide additional protection. You can also surround yourself in loving white light (see below). Still, if you are energetically imbalanced, these things are like Band-Aids, a temporary fix covering a deeper problem.

You must become energetically balanced to fully protect your soul, especially if you are a Highly Sensitive Person. Here's the thing. When you're energetically out of balance or drained by negative self-talk or outside influences, such as the negativity of others or negative spiritual attachments, it enables even more negativity to gravitate toward you, causing a downward spiral in your emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual well-being.
The following are steps you can take to protect your energy field (aura) from negative influences, such as harmful spirit attachments, psychic vampires, curses, and the negative thoughts and emotions of others.
Wrap Yourself in White Light
Close your eyes and visualize yourself wrapped in a loving cocoon that shields you from all negative energy. This light can be silver, gold, or any other color you associate with love. I sometimes imagine white light with beautiful specks of gold, rose, and turquoise. Learn how here.
Follow Your Intuition
Pay attention to your gut feeling about people, places, and things. Your intuition knows what's in your best interest and what is not. You can learn more about what intuition is (and isn't) and how to magnify yours here. Energy attached to objects can influence your energy. Antiques are notorious for this. If you have objects in your home that make you feel uneasy, pay attention. You may have to have them cleared with sage or crystals, have them blessed, or remove them altogether.
Walk Away or Block Energy From Others
Whenever you're faced with someone who drains your energy, change your body language to a more protective stance (not defensive, just self-protective). You'll want to avoid making direct eye contact, touching, or speaking with that person, if possible. Leave their presence as soon as possible. If you can't turn and walk away, protect your energy by visualizing a blanket of protective loving energy all around you. You can see, breathe, and move under this blanket of positive energy. Stay under it as long as you need to. If this person has given you a gift or an object, consider seriously whether it's something you need to keep. Negative energy can attach to objects that have been in a person's possession for some time or that have been intentionally "spelled" in some way.
Listen to Music or Sing
Listening to music is a simple way to boost your energy levels. Just make sure the music is uplifting and not headbanging or something that's going to make you cry your eyes out, unless you badly need to shake yourself up (dance like crazy) or let go of some pent-up emotion through tears. Listening to the sounds of nature can also be energizing.
Be As Healthy and Energetic As You Can
It's not just your body that can get sick. Your spirit (energy) can also be affected, and when that happens, you can become physically ill. You can't separate the two, body and spirit. You are both, and each affects the other. The more unhealthy and unfit you are, the easier it is to attract negative energies that want to set up home in your electromagnetic energy field. On the flip side, when you're healthy, physically fit, and full of energy, your aura isn't nearly as attractive to these types of energies, and it is better prepared to deflect negative energy when it does come sniffing around, which is why your health and wellness play a significant role in energetic defense.
Engage With Nature
Whether it's walking on the beach, practicing forest bathing, or simply standing barefoot in your yard, being out in nature boosts your energy levels in a way that nothing else can. Read more here about the benefits of engaging with nature.
Take a Bath in Sea Salt
Sea salt is powerful in its ability to dispel negativity. See Sea Salt for Protection, and THW Bath Soak Recipe.
Abandon Negative Talk
Abandoning negative talk can be challenging. You may not be able to do this all the time, as you may live with people who are negative or rub you the wrong way, or you might dislike some of your coworkers (or even dislike yourself at times). Still, it's essential to give yourself "energetic" space as often as possible. Try to avoid people who always want to complain, gossip, or tell you the latest bad news. When you're at home, don't have CNN or crime shows running in the background. Turn them off or change the channel to something more uplifting. Stay away from social media that continuously shocks you with the latest "horrifics" (TikTok...omg!). Negative talk is negative talk, whether it comes from another person, the TV, the radio, or a screen. Avoid it as much as you can. Also, avoid negative visuals. Once you see something, it can't be unseen. It stays in your subconscious forever. You'll also want to avoid negative self-talk.
Meditate or Pray
Meditation brings peace, allowing you to release negative energy or, at the very least, take a break from it. During meditation, you can also use the first suggestion of filling yourself up from head to toe with radiant, loving light.
Surround Yourself With Positive People
One of the best things you can do is to surround yourself with people who genuinely like and support you. Those kinds of people are sometimes hard to find, but once you do, you'll likely begin meeting others through them, and before you know it, you'll have established a tribe you can enjoy intermingling with and a few close friends to depend on. One way to meet your tribe is to join groups that have the same interests as you do. What are your interests? Do you like to read, paint, work out, cook, collect something, do craft work, hike, camp, travel, go antiquing, or _____ (fill in the blank)? Look for groups on Facebook (or elsewhere) that share your passions. Better yet, create a group. Positive interactions, being helpful, and sharing kindnesses breed more of the same, raise your energy levels, and help protect you from negative influences.
Wear An Amulet
Your amulet can be anything you want it to be: a cross necklace, a crystal pendant, a medicine bag, or a pocket angel. It's up to you. Fill a vial with THW Black Salt Recipe and wear it close to your heart. Does it really help to protect you? If you believe it does, it does. It can't hurt.
Apply Essential Oils
Certain essential oils are recognized for their spiritual protective properties. Incense made from the same plants from which essential oils are derived, such as sage, can also help banish negative energy.
Smoke Bad Energies Out
Sage has been used for centuries to purify spaces. Burning incense can also be helpful. Additionally, see Smudging Away Negativity and A Space Clearing Ritual.
