Spiritual Self-Protection

A practical guide to protecting your energies!

Edited and expanded: 6/1/2025

This daily energy hygiene ritual changed everything for me. It really did.

It enabled me to understand greatly the feeling of my own emotions and where they sit in my body and it helped me to understand that I was carrying around other peoples crap! This crap weighed me down so much and I thought it was mine!

I first came upon the ground, clear, protection years ago on my spiritual journey. I found that many practitioners of energy work do this general ritual daily. But, I also felt they were missing some key elements.

Though there is no right or wrong way of doing this spell and you can add or subtract elements, the main idea of it is to Ground into Mother Gaia, Clear your energy field, and Protect yourself.

The key elements I find that is missing from others’ self-protection is being specific in what you want to clear out of your energy field and body. I find the more specific you are the better the clearing of the energies. There are a vast amount of things sitting inside us that we don’t know is there and probably shouldn’t be and being specific will let your body know what should be removed.

I really do not like the phrase, “what doesn’t serve me”. How ambiguous can you get?! If you have been using this phrase for other things, its time to get specific now. I bet you weren’t feeling much different then when you started!

Spiritual Self-Protection steps:

• Ground yourself:

Pull in Source energy, healing white light, into your body from the crown chakra down to your feet with each inhale and exhale you take. Allow it to fill you up until white light is bursting from you, emanating from you. 

From your crown chakra through to your root chakra and out, imagine a cord attaching to the middle of the earth to ground you into Mother Gaia. You can imagine you have tree roots growing out of the bottom of your feet (my new favorite) or use another image that resonates with you most.

I love saying hello and giving love to Mother Gaia while I am doing this. She needs as much love as she can get right now.

• Clear:

Imagine that something is removing any low vibrational energy that is not serving you from your physical body and energy body.

I have a dragon as a spirit guide, so at first I allowed him to blow his flames through my energy body and the ash flew away in the wind. I now use an energetic blanket to pull all this ick from me.

You can imagine wind, water or anything else to remove the energy in this step.

You can also “cut” cords, with everyone and everything, from your body. You can physically pretend with your hands to cut like scissors around your physical body to remove cords as well. Imagine the ends snapping back to the other person and your end shriveling up and dying. Also, imagine filling the space where the cord was with love from Source.

As time goes on I have discovered that you can be very general or very specific on the energies you remove from your body. I have gotten more specific on what I want to remove and in doing so I have noticed over all a much clearer feeling when I’m done.

In my practice, I state, “I remove ______ energy from my body,” while imagining my blanket going through my energy field. I can get very specific. Here are some examples of what I clear:

• Feelings and emotions. We pick these up so quickly it can be shocking! I’m speaking to all my empaths here! This is usually the first thing I clear from myself: other peoples emotions and the feelings that go with them. I can’t tell you how many times I clear these out of my energy field and I feel 100% better! We are dealing with too much shit from the collapse of the matrix to deal with other peoples stuff and I guarantee you that you are holding on to other peoples stuff. Ain’t no one got time for that! So, let that shit go!

• A specific persons energies. This is perfect for empaths too! I have a 10 year old daughter who is a spitfire and is incredibly passionate, focus and determined. I feel her frustration and anger so easily that I still have a hard time distinguishing it from mine when things get heated. So this works wonders!! I state, ”I remove Rowan’s energy from my body.” I cannot tell you what a blessing this one is! Do it for your partner, friend, family and co-workers.

• A group of peoples energies. Be specific here, like, “I remove everyone’s energies I picked up at ______.” This is fabulous when you’ve been to the grocery store or a gathering of people. Though, you want to do the Clear Protection before you go into such a situation, even I forget to do this.

• An entity. This can be ambiguous for many but there are entities that are drawn to your beautiful light and can suck your energies. Get rid of those little assholes! I state, “I remove all entities from my body.”

• I have also used this to remove parasites! This heads into healing territory but it never hurts to remove this stuff yourself. Remember, we are all just energy. We can do this ourselves! This honestly is such a deep topic that it could use a book to deep dive but in the end, you can do this without a book telling you how. Just use your imagination. I swear to all the goddesses this works, I’ve done it with success. Just imagine gathering up all the parasites in your hands and throwing them into the universe or to Mother Gaia to turn to love or fertilizer, respectively. Keep doing it until you feel you got it all.

• And any other energy you don’t want. This list is not exhaustive and there may be times when you want to clear your energy of something, anything. Be as specific as you need!

3. Protect:

This is to protect you from anything that is low vibration or does not serve your higher good. Imagine a bubble of protection around yourself or a White Light Pyramid of Protection around you.

The White Light Pyramid of Protection is my personal favorite that I adopted from Dolores Canon’s Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique sessions. (I use it daily to protect me, my car, my daughter, my home, etc. and so did Dolores!)

If you need something a bit stronger, imagine the point of the White Light Pyramid of Protection surrounding you, then imagine 2 pyramids, one right side up and one upside down. This powerful merkaba now surrounds you to provide crazy protection.

Also, you can imagine white source light surrounding the pyramids for another layer or any color that you learn about. I’ve even put up chainmail to keep entities away from me!

State this intention in your mind or out loud:

“Anything that is not in my highest vibrational timeline bounces off of the bubble/pyramid and is sent back to the sender with love.”

The “love” part is vital. You must send the energy back with love. Even when it’s the hardest thing to do or you don’t think the person or situation deserves it, send it anyway.  This keeps your vibration up and helps the person or situation.

When to use Spiritual Self-Protection

There are many self-protection tools, spells, and rituals out there and I find that my take on Spiritual Self-Protection works really well for me. I don’t like to use tools like a crystal or sigil and I don’t perform obvious spells, it just isn’t my thing. I like to depend on my own energy, my own power. This is why there are no tools used in my self-protection.

I utilize Self-Protection when I feel down or anxious all the sudden. I’ve noticed that every time this happens that I’ve attracted someone else’s energies and I’m so grateful that I have this ritual to help me get rid of it.

This technique is helpful to ground yourself before going into a stressful situation, to protect yourself from “Energy Vampires” who suck the energy right out of you, or for a daily ritual just living life. Its for when you need it most to protect yourself. Do it multiple times in a day if you need to but have faith it is there for you when you need it.

There are a lot of energies coming in from our Sun right now, through coronal mass ejections. This is creating a lot of ascension symptoms like: fatigue, anxiety, depression, feeling blah, detox symptoms, food aversions or feeling like nothing is satisfying, dizziness, nausea, heart palpitations and more. Getting clear on what isn’t yours will help in managing your own emotions and these ascension symptoms.

Something to know: This is for your highest good. It may be that in certain situations you need to feel whatever you are feeling. The depletion or uncomfortable energy you are feeling is there for a reason. In this case, ask, “what do I need to learn from this?”

I hope this serves you well.
