What is Energy Protection?
Energy protection involves safeguarding and preserving our personal energy, including our mental and spiritual well-being. It creates balance, harmony, and overall well-being.
Your energy is more than just how you feel through the day and whether you have enough energy to exercise or go out. In some cultures, it is also referred to as Qi, Vitality, Kundalini and Prana. It encompasses our emotions, our thoughts and even our soul. It is important to protect this energy to ensure what we think, and feel is ours alone.
Why is it Important to Protect Your Energy?
Have you ever had the experience of making a decision that brings you happiness or excitement, and it just feels right?! But then, when you talk to other people about it, their opinions dampen your excitement.
Alternatively, have you ever noticed your mood changing when you’re around someone? It could be someone in a really bad mood, being negative, brings you down or someone extremely happy and laughing, which lifts your mood.
Sound familiar? That’s where energy protection comes in.
Protecting our energy is crucial for several reasons:
- To helps us maintain our overall well-being. When our energy is drained or depleted, we may experience fatigue, stress, and a lack of motivation.
- Protecting our energy helps us establish boundaries and prevent others from draining our energy or taking advantage of us.
- Stay aligned with our true selves and our goals. When our energy is scattered or influenced by external factors, it becomes challenging to focus on what truly matters to us. By protecting our energy, we can stay connected to our purpose and pursue a fulfilling life.

5. Energy Cleansing Rituals
Energy cleansing rituals are practices that help remove any negative or stagnant energy from your space and aura. These rituals can include smudging with sage or other herbs and incense, drawing protection sigils or performing a salt bath. By regularly cleansing your energy, you can create a more positive and harmonious environment for yourself.
6. Meditation/Visualization
Meditation and visualization are powerful tools for protecting your spiritual energy (and my favourite!!). Taking time to quiet your mind and connect with your inner self can help you release any negative energy and restore balance. One technique I personally use everyday is visualizing. Visualize a protective shield or light surrounding you helps ward off any negative influences or energies.
7. Chakra Balancing
Chakras are energy centres within the body and balancing them is essential for protecting your spiritual energy. There are various techniques for balancing chakras, such as meditation, energy healing, or using specific crystals associated with each chakra. By keeping your chakras balanced, you can maintain a healthy flow of energy throughout your body and promote overall well-being.

Some crystals known for their protective properties include black tourmaline, amethyst, and selenite. By harnessing the energy of crystals, you can create a shield of protection around you.
3 Practical Strategies for Everyday Energy Protection
In our fast-paced and hectic lives, it’s important to prioritize our energy and protect it from unnecessary drains. Here are three practical strategies for everyday energy protection:
9. Adequate Sleep
Getting enough sleep is crucial for maintaining optimal energy levels. When we are well-rested, we have more mental clarity, focus, and overall well-being. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep, however, I believe that its best to try to sleep with your body’s natural rhythms as much as possible. Create a relaxing bedtime ritual, avoid stimulating activities before bed, and ensure your sleep environment is comfortable and conducive to restful sleep.
10. Digital Detox
In today’s digital age, we are constantly bombarded with notifications, emails, and social media updates, which can be overwhelming and draining. Taking regular breaks from technology can help protect and recharge your energy. Set aside designated periods of time each day, such as an hour before bed or a specific day of the week, to disconnect from your devices. Use this time to engage in activities that bring you joy, such as reading, spending time in nature, or practicing a hobby.
11. Managing Your Time and Energy
Prioritize tasks and activities that align with your values and goals. Learn to delegate or eliminate tasks that drain your energy unnecessarily. Efficient time management helps ensure that your energy is directed towards what truly matters.
Conclusion
Protecting your energy is essential for maintaining a balanced sense of yourself and a connection to your intuition.
