Do you avoid social situations at all costs? Do you have people in your life that seem to “suck the life out of you”? The best thing you can do as an empath is to learn how to protect your energy. This will not only give you back your life, but will help you make friends without feeling drained. So what are we waiting for? Let’s talk about how you can protect your energy from others. 

Why Do You Need To Protect Your Energy? 

Before you learn to protect your energy, let’s first understand why you need to do it in the first place. There are many different planes/levels of consciousness. We operate on the physical level where life and laws are governed by our five senses. There is a mental level of existence as well. This level has been extensively explored in Hermetic philosophy. We also have a spiritual level of existence. Shamans work with this plane of consciousness regularly. Life is not just about what we can see, hear, smell, taste, and touch. Often, unseen forces impact our lives more than we realize. An empath can sense these nonphysical levels of consciousness. But, they don’t always realize it.

All these levels impact everyone- ourselves, our friends, our family members, and even the people we know nothing about. Due to this connection with our planes and the fact that they impact everyone, the boundary between our life and others blur as our empathic ability increases. We begin feeling others’ feelings as our own. This can not only affect your mood, but all parts of your psyche. 

This is why you need to protect your energy. 

How To Protect Your Energy As An Empath

Now that you know why you need to protect your energy, let’s now move on to how you can do that. There are many ways to protect your energy. Today, we will discuss three of them. The basic principle behind these methods is the same- YOU NEED TO BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE PROTECTED TO BE PROTECTED. 

Let me explain how it works. If you believe that you are protected, your energy will ripple that belief out to the Universe. You will be able to establish the boundaries that you need to not live other people’s lives for them.

3 Ways To Protect Your Energy From Others 

The only way to protect yourself from someone’s energy is to know in your heart and soul that you already are. But, that’s not always easy. So, without further ado, here are the three ways for you to protect yourself from other people’s energy. 

1. Visualize a circle of protection 

Before you get up from bed, please take some time to visualize how your day is going to go. Don’t just make up stories about things you can’t control. Visualize your actions first and foremost.

After you are done with that, imagine white light from heaven coming down and creating a circle of protection around you. The light of the circle radiates inwards and enters your heart. This energy will be present with you throughout the day. Trust that you are protected. There is nothing you need to worry about. Do this visualization as often as you can to protect your energy. 

2. Create A Crystal Wall 

Don’t worry! You don’t need to buy hundreds of crystals to create a wall around you. You just need a big jar (or a plate) and five quartz crystals. In the center of the jar, put a strand of your hair, your handkerchief, or anything that represents you. Around this jar, create a circle with your crystals. 

Imagine these crystals creating a sacred space around you. Play some meditation music if it helps you meditate. Take as much time as you need. 

You have now protected your energy from being drained. Don’t forget to repeat this visualization every day. Cleanse these crystals with sage smoke every once in a while. 

3. Affirmations 

Another way to protect yourself from others is to repeat positive affirmations daily. You can do these affirmations before you go to bed or right after you wake up. Here are a few affirmations you can try to protect your energy as an empath: 

● I am protected by the Divine. 

● I have strong boundaries. 

● I am not alone. I am supported. 

● I am in charge of my energy field. Other people’s energy can’t infiltrate it without my permission. 

● I am the boss of me.
