"Psychic protection is
as natural as putting on work clothes in the morning, checking your mobile
phone is charged and that you have your ticket and money for the day. If you
prepare in advance you arrive unhurried and do not leave yourself vulnerable,
accident-prone and panicking if there are delays or problems on your journey.
It is the same with routine psychic self-defense."
Abreviated article on Psychic Protection from http://www.cassandraeason.com
"Equally, when you
return in the evening, you may have a bath and change your clothes and can feel
the tensions flowing away –these routine actions create a barrier against the
outside world and this is the purpose of good psychic self-defense, to mark and
strengthen the bounds between you and the outside world. In the morning you are
increasing positive energies to resist stress and in the evening slowing down
the pace to shed the day allows a calmer mood to predominate. If you are a
shift-worker, you can modify the times to fit in with your life.
The
earthly and psychic actions are linked. If you are permanently feeling rushed
and late or you live in clutter and constant demands on your time, even when
you are supposed to be relaxing, then it is easier for negative energies to
accumulate. The workaholic needs really strong psychic self-defense – and maybe
a re-ordering of worldly priorities.
Creating the protected, connected self
Few of us in the modern world do have the time or space to
withdraw for long periods to re-establish the still calm centre that enables us
to interact with others without being overwhelmed or absorbing negativity,
intentional or free-floating. But there are various stages that we can follow
even in the busiest schedule to ensure that we are not dissipating our own
energies or are vulnerable to psychic vampirism in others. The following stages
to inner harmony can be practiced either separately or as a sequence. None of
them takes more than a minute or two.
Grounding/Earthing
Although
this process sounds very mysterious and complex, it is in fact, no different
from having an earth wire in your electricity plug. Humans and animals are
naturally connected to the earth, but this link can get clogged up or even
forgotten, especially if you live or work in a tower block or spend a lot of
time with high tech equipment or travelling, especially at peak times on
crowded roads or modes of transport.
·
The simplest way to earth yourself is to stand barefoot on grass
or earth. Raise your hands above your head while breathing in, then, fingers
extend, slowly lower them downwards to the earth while breathing out, all the
negative energies will drain away.
·
If you cannot go outdoors, keep a living plant with two
dark colored crystals in it. Very gently touch the plant and close your eyes
allowing what the twelfth century mystic Hildegard von Bingen called, the greening process, to reconnect you with the soil.
You
should try to earth yourself whenever you feel anxious, jittery or unable to
concentrate or after psychic work. Kneading dough or shaping clay is
another way of reconnecting with basic earth energies and if you make something
useful like a loaf or a pot to hold things rather than a decorative one, you
are transforming free-floating energies into a rooted form.
Whenever possible go for a walk by yourself or
with a friend or family member who will not ceaselessly chatter or analyzing
your relationship or career or
When
I walk along the beach near my caravan I sometimes reflect that the worries
that were so pressing this time last year either never materialized or did
happen – and that worrying had only increased my own inability to respond to
crises. The battles I fought many times in my head were no easier in actuality
for the rehearsal, but walking weekend after weekend along the wet sand or over
the cliffs, did help to keep me grounded and not lost in mists of anxiety.
Centering
This
is the logical progression after grounding and is very effective if you are
receiving impressions from many different sources, conflicting demands on your
time and energies or you feel that you are being drained of energy. As I have
said before, some psychic vampires are not malevolent at all, merely have a lot
of problems and an inability to accept responsibility for their own lives or to
seek positive solutions. Children, sick or lonely relations and friends can
also drain us of our natural reserves of strength. Sometimes you cannot shield
yourself from them as you need to give out loving energies, but do need to
centre yourself, so that you do not become so sympathetic or concerned that
your own peace of mind and ability to cope is destroyed.
Even
in the most positive relationship you may need to be yourself within your head.
If you are centered, you are focused and you can concentrate or simply switch
off from external pressures and allow your natural restorative energies to come
into operation.

Hold your arms this time by your side and visualize all
the energies that are not yours leaving your body and those that are yours but
have been scattered returning and forming a circle of light in the centre of
your head parallel to your Brow Chakra, the psychic Third Eye in the centre of
your head.
If
this seems difficult or if you need protection from the demands of those you
love who nevertheless are dissipating your energies, try the following ritual.
Shielding
There
are a variety of reasons why you might like to erect a shield: whether to avoid
intrusion of your personal space while travelling, for filtering out negative
reactions to jealousy, spite or unfair criticism and later in this chapter I
talk about shielding the aura from negative impressions. Why should we not keep
a regular shield in place and so avoid any problems? The main reason is that
although you can ask that only positive and higher energies penetrate, you are
creating a barrier and as with all barriers they interfere with the flow of
energies. So a shielded life would be a restrictive one, in which emotions
would be muted and sensory impressions blunted.
We
all need a certain amount of challenge in our lives and sometimes what seems an
obstacle or unfair criticism, may turn out to be the spur we need to transform
and to change. Equally if a friend or loved one is in emotional pain or a
stranger who needs kindness, we do need to share the feelings in order to
respond from the heart. In love, we cannot avoid the fears and anticipation of
the early stages and need to experience loss or disappointment in order to move
on.
This
is not to diminish the importance of psychic shielding in order to protect
oneself. But as you would close your doors and windows against an impending
storm, rather than live in anticipation indoors all the time, so you can
activate your shield quickly, whether your angelic guardians or your electric
biofield defense by building into the ritual a psychic short-cut to activate
your defense."
