Instant Protection Techniques

1. Meditation To Protect Against Negativity

Meditating early morning is one of the best ways to start the day with positive vibrations. One of the things everyone should do during meditation, especially empaths, is to imagine themselves into a white bubble of pure love and protection, that allows no negativity in and no negativity out. Do you close the door of your house when you leave? Yes cos it provides protection against outside influences. Meditating with this aim in mind ensures you leave your house fully protected each morning;

2. Emotion & Pain Check

One of the hardest tasks of empaths is that of being able to tell what emotions are theirs and what are others’. To avoid this dilemma, an empath should check his/her emotions and look for any pains and illnesses prior to going out, which allows him/her to know what is already there. Once out, if the empath feels emotion or pain, he/she can realise that the new emotion and/or pain has been picked up from another empathically;

3. Protection Mantra

When there is no time available for meditation before going out, one can recite a mantra and truly believe in its power. An empath can say something like “I encircle myself in pure white light of love and protection. Nothing negative can come to me and nothing negative can come out of me. I am completely protected from any outside negative energies and effects”;

4. Covering Solar Plexus

Emotion is directly tied with the Solar Plexus Chakra, which is represented by yellow and is situated about 3 fingers above the belly button. There are times when we feel literally overwhelmed by emotions, especially if we find ourselves in the middle of a confrontation. At that point what happens is that all these emotions seep into us through our Solar Plexus. One of the things that can be done to stop us instantly from absorbing such negative energy, even when intended directly to us, is covering our Solar Plexus by something else, such as crossing our hands or using a book or anything to cover up the area above our belly button. This helps stop negativity absorption immediately;

5. Finger Interlocking Technique

This is another technique that works instantly and every time. Touch the tips of your thumb and third finger of each hand while interlocking both hands together. This is an amazing and fast way to block negative energies, and can be used anywhere and anytime, especially when feeling under attack by someone else;

6. Bubbly Water Cup

Sometimes we tend to realise that the family we live in and certain family situations are overwhelming us with negative emotions. When this happens, there is a wonderful easy method that is explained in a book called Infinite Quest by John Edward. Basically you can fill in a cup with water and place in areas where you feel negativity manifests most in your house, and leave it there. Check back later after a couple hours and see if any small bubbles have formed in the water cup. If yes, that is negativity that has been absorbed from your house. Take this cup and throw the water down the drain or flush it into the toilet with the aim that it will be cleansed by Mother Earth and restored to its natural clean state. Make sure no one drinks glasses of water with bubbles within.
