How Can I Protect My Soul from Others' Negativity?

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.

What do I mean by spiritual? I mean picking up negative vibes from people around you or being attacked by negative forces (demons, ghosts, residual energy, and EMFs) that negatively affect your energy.

If you're driving to the store to buy the latest supplements for fatigue, your spirit attachments may be secretly riding along. The supplements you take will never work because the problem isn't physical; it's spiritual, even though you're experiencing a bodily symptom.  Supplements won't help. You need to sever the attachment. 

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 in these protective rituals to set your intentions and provide additional protection. You can also surround yourself with loving white light (see below). Still, if you are energetically imbalanced, these things are like Band-Aids, a temporary fix covering a deeper problem. 

To fully protect your soul, especially if you're experiencing spiritual (energetic) attack or a Highly Sensitive Person, you must become energetically balanced. Here's the thing. When you're energetically out of balance or drained by negative self-talk or external influences, such as the negativity of others or negative spiritual attachments, it invites even more negativity to gravitate toward you, triggering a downward spiral in your emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual well-being.

You can eliminate negative spiritual attachments and prevent them from reattaching to your energy field, allowing you to feel safe in your own body. 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. Objects can influence your energy. Antiques are notorious for this. If objects in your home make you feel uneasy, pay attention to them. You may need to clear them with sage or crystals, bless them, 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). If possible, avoid direct eye contact, touching, or speaking with that person. 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 you need to keep it. 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, 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 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 unhealthier and less fit 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 like nothing else. Read more about the benefits of engaging with nature here. 

 

Take a Bath in Sea Salt

Sea salt is highly effective at dispelling negativity. See Sea Salt for Protection.

 

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 whenever 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 switch 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 hear or see something, you can't unhear or unsee it. 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 least take a break from it. During meditation, you can also use the first suggestion: fill yourself 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 with the same interests as you. 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 kindness 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, such as a cross necklace, a crystal pendant, a medicine bag, a pocket angel, or something meaningful, such as your grandmother's old brooch. It's up to you. Fill a vial with Black Witch Salt 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 used to derive essential oils, 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 What's the Proper Way to Smudge Away Negativity? and How Do I Perform a Space Clearing Ritual?.
