Protect From Negativity One of the most challenging aspects of being an empath (a person who easily is able to feel other people’s feelings/energy field) is that their mind may be more sensitive to what is going on around them below the surface, as compared to another personality. Empaths may have more of an emotional reaction to the world. Sometimes being an empath means a deep sense of loneliness because their inner world is far more profound and beautiful as compared to the outer world.
Carl Jung gave us an understanding of sensitive and emotionally deep personalities. In the Myers-Briggs personality type test, these are NFPs who have the potential to romanticize and fill the world with meaning and beauty. But anybody can need protection from negative energy depending on what is going on in their lives. Sometimes the people who need protection may be unaware that they are being psychically attacked or that their problems are rooted in toxic energy in the environment.
How To Yourself From External Protect From Negativity Energy
The empath may feel emotions more intensely than other people, so they may detect that something is wrong sooner. The gift of a more sensitive emotional body is the ability to sense the truth often hidden below the surface even before things happen. When trained, an Empath can be amazingly accurate in their intuition. However, if they are not in a balanced place (either due to major shock/trauma) their energy field gets scattered. Protect Negative Energy Brain fog and fatigue may result from emotional shocks for an empathic person.
It can be a loss of energy and a scattered Protect From Negativity mind that becomes open and suggestible to other energies and more easily influenced. The empath may find in their life journey that it is worth their time and effort to protect their energy and strengthen it. Empaths in general respond to energy psychology and techniques aka Holistic/Energy Psychology. Since empathy is more intensely felt by an Empath, it is only logical that holistic tools would help them use their gift to help themselves. These techniques have been part of our indigenous and global cultures since ancient times, however, they are not as well known or understood from a rational perspective. Sometimes all we need is preventative self-care.
Best Rocks and Crystals For Protection
A wonderful way to support the emotional body is through the mindful use of rocks. Even though we can wear rocks and place them in our environment, holistic use of rocks is a beautiful, intuitive way to stay longer in one’s happy zone and bounce back quicker from negative events.
In general black stones have a protective and grounding impact on the emotional body. However, it is important to build a connection with the rock. Even though rocks will have a beneficial impact even when placed in the environment, however, they are far more helpful when we consciously work with them on a regular basis to help program our mind and build the neural networks in our brain that signal calm. Processes such as cleansing, connection and charging rocks can be very helpful in programming the subconscious and healing the emotional body.
Cleansing, Connecting With and Charging your Rocks
To cleanse a rock is super simple. The more you get into the process, with your whole mind, the more these simple rituals will help you.
- Sound. Especially if you feel sound in your body. A loud sound can clear the rock. It could be a singing bowl, a clap of thunder, classical music or specific hz music. Apart from sound your intention is enough. Hold the rock in your hand and intend that the rock is cleared from the sound. When it feels clear, stop.
- Salt and Earth. Burying Rocks in Salt or Earth help. Try to use natural rock salt or sea salt. Remember to ask the salt or ask Mother Earth.
- Water. Let the water flow over the rock. Water has to be running or flowing water. Ask the water to cleanse the rock of negativity. When you speak to Water you let the Universe know your intention.
- Sunlight or Moonlight. Ask the Sunlight or Moonlight to cleanse the rock and return any negativity to Earth to be grounded.
- Bless the rock with sacred prayer/sacred texts. Using sounds of scripture or whispering it yourself, you can cleanse rocks of energy and transmute negativity.
- Ask the higher powers (whatever your concept of higher power) to cleanse the rock of negativity and send it to the Light.
Here is a list of Rocks that can help.
- Obsidians (Apache Tears, Rainbow Obsidian, Snowflake Obsidian etc). Obsidian is a type of glass. It is lava that has at one point erupted from the Earth. It therefore helps relieve old baggage. Since many of us are Protect From Negativity carrying baggage from the past including ancestral grief, obsidians can help the heart let go). Obsidians need frequent cleansing. Bathing them in mild salt water is lovely for them. Ensure to flush the water after cleansing the rock.
- Black Kyanite. The rock that transforms all negativity into peace. Helps cleanse the emotional body of lower frequencies. Keeping a black kyanite beside your bed, or holding one prior to going to sleep can help. However, it is important to focus on the rock consciously and ask the rock to help transmute negativity. Don’t use water to cleanse Black Kyanite. Even though black kyanite does not need cleansing, I find that it benefits from recharging in salt or immersing in Earth.
- Black Tourmaline. The mother of rocks, black tourmaline has a nurturing and soothing quality. If safety and security are concerns, black tourmaline can calm down the stress response. It soothes the adrenal gland’s stress response and is thought to absorb EMF radiation from technology. Keeping it close to your body, between yourself and computers can help reduce stress coming from technology.
List of Other Substances For Protection
- Petrified wood is wood that looks like a rock. It has a gentle soothing quality. It has many uses, but one use is protection from Karmic and intergenerational negativity or less than ideal habitual patterns. The rock will remember what you want to avoid, thus helping you become more mindful and continue to focus on your positive direction in life. After years of evolving, a piece of wood transformed into a rock and every lesson is integrated in it, thus it is a beautiful metaphor for someone who wants to turn their negativity patterns into wisdom and positivity.
- Turmeric. Turmeric cleanses anger. Burning a piece of Turmeric and keeping it around things that frustrate or anger you can help absorb the negative energy.
- Fragrances have a protective effect. Lavender, frankincense, oud, dragons blood, sage, palo santo, clove or ylang ylang are great choices for protection and transmuting negative energy. You can put the fragrance on the rocks for protection, burn incense or use essential oil or the actual herbs.
- Colours for protection. Black is a universal color for protection from negative energy. In some cultures, a black mark or thread is put using kohl or ash to protect from the evil eye i.e., negative energy. If you want to use colour, remember that black will absorb negative energy. After use it should be discarded or washed or bathed in salt water, then the water should be discarded.
- Here are a few other unusual ways that come from older cultures/new age ideas. Burning black scrap of fabric/ paper with the intention of dispelling negativity. Burning a few strands of your hair to dispel negativity you may have absorbed. Painting a wall black with chalkboard paint. Put ashes of burnt herbs such as chillies, turmeric, dried holy basil, lavender and mix well in the paint.
