How to Create Your Own Protection Shield: A Spiritual Practice for Energy Protection

Greetings beautiful souls,

If you're reading this, it means you're ready to strengthen your spiritual boundaries and protect yourself from harmful energies while walking your spiritual path. We are all connected to an unseen world of energy, and as we embark on our spiritual journey, it's essential to ensure we are shielded from the vibrations that may drain, confuse, or harm us. In this blog post, I'll guide you through the process of creating your own protection shield, share insights on why this practice is crucial, and give you a deeper understanding of the energies we encounter in our spiritual work. Let’s dive in and strengthen your spiritual armor!

Why We Need a Protection Shield on Our Spiritual Journey

When we embark on any spiritual journey—whether through meditation, healing work, or daily life—we open ourselves to an energetic world that is not always visible. This world consists of various vibrational frequencies, both high and low, that can affect our well-being.

High vibrational energies, like love, compassion, and joy, help to elevate our spirit and guide us toward higher consciousness. On the other hand, low vibrational energies—such as fear, negativity, and trauma—can drain our energy, create confusion, and sometimes lead us down paths that do not serve our highest good.

A protection shield is necessary because, when we are actively doing spiritual work, we are often vulnerable to absorbing energies that are not in alignment with our true selves. These energies may come from other people, places, or situations, and it’s important to safeguard our energy fields to stay grounded, clear, and aligned with our spiritual purpose.

What Are High and Low Vibrational Energies?

Before diving into the practice, it's important to understand the types of energies we interact with on a daily basis. Here’s a simple breakdown:

High-Vibrational Energies

Love: Pure, unconditional love elevates the spirit and fosters deep healing.

Joy: Light-hearted, joyful energies that enhance creativity and connection.

Gratitude: A powerful energy that attracts abundance and aligns us with positive frequencies.

Peace: Calming and healing energy that helps maintain balance in the mind and body.

Compassion: Kind and nurturing energy that strengthens emotional resilience.

Low-Vibrational Energies

Fear: Drains energy, causing anxiety, worry, and a sense of helplessness.

Anger: Causes tension and can lead to conflicts and emotional turmoil.

Negativity: Harsh judgments and pessimism can lower our vibration and block spiritual growth.

Shame: A dense emotion that holds us back from experiencing self-love and inner peace.

Resentment: Keeps us stuck in the past and hinders emotional healing.

By learning how to shield ourselves, we can prevent these lower vibrations from attaching to us, ensuring that we remain in alignment with our highest potential.

A Personal Experience: My Journey to Creating a Protection Shield

As I reflect on my spiritual journey, I can say that it’s been one full of both great successes and radical experiences that anyhow would lead me to meaningful lessons. There were times when I found myself feeling weighed down by what I can only describe as “sliming” energies—those sticky, uncomfortable emotions that are not yours but somehow attached to you. Have you ever spoken with someone angry or stressed, only to find yourself feeling the same way afterward? That’s an example of these energetic exchanges.

On the other hand, as an empath, I was also able to perceive energies and entities around me. At one point, I began seeing entities I thought were powerfully intrusive and haunting me. I would close my eyes, and they would appear. It felt terrifying. This fear was deepened by my own emotions, and at the time, I was in a place where the unknown was not something I understood—so fear naturally grew.

However, as I began to grow in my spiritual awareness, I came to understand that the way we perceive entities—whether they are elemental, passed ones, or low-vibrational spirits—is often directly linked to our emotional state. The more fearful I was, the more I seemed to draw in these energies. It became clear that if I wanted to stop attracting these opportunistic spirits and low-vibrational energies, I needed to reclaim my personal power and learn how to shield myself.

Through surrendering to the light, engaging in self-honoring rituals, and embracing soul alignment practices like the Hayahay ceremony, I learned to protect my energy. I discovered the length of my energy field and how to manage it. This empowered me to coexist with these low or opportunistic entities—no longer fearing them, but instead being able to “be respected and respectful.”

Creating a Protection Shield: My Journey and the Armor Method

When it came time to create my own protection shield, I wanted something more than just a glowing light surrounding me. I wanted something strong, tangible, and specific to my energy. The first attempt was with a cloak of protection, but it didn’t resonate with me. It felt too passive, not quite right for the level of protection I needed.

Then, I tried the golden armor method. I envisioned a medieval golden armor, with golden chainmail underneath. This felt much more aligned with my energy. Over time, I made it more detailed. In the first months, I imagined the hue of the golden armor, its texture, and the way it shimmered. I paid attention to the intricate designs and refined its appearance daily.

After months of daily practice, both in the morning and before going to bed, the armor became automatic. I could envision it immediately, effortlessly, when I needed it most. I no longer had to “create” it each time. It became an integral part of my energy field.

This practice has been especially powerful for me in protecting myself from psychic intrusions during sleep and staying grounded in crowded spaces, where energies are often unpredictable and draining. With my golden armor shield, I feel protected, clear, and stable, no matter where I go.

Sliming and Other Spiritual Terms: Understanding Energetic Intrusions

In the spiritual realm, we often encounter certain experiences or sensations that don’t always have an obvious physical explanation. One of these experiences is what I refer to as sliming. Sliming is the feeling of unwanted or negative energy attaching to you—like sticky emotional residue that’s not yours but somehow gets absorbed into your energy field. It can feel heavy, and draining, and can take a toll on your emotional and physical well-being.

A common situation where this happens is when you interact with someone who is stressed, angry, or in a negative emotional state. You may find yourself mirroring their emotions afterward without understanding why. This is a form of energetic exchange, where you absorb their energy, and it sticks to you. It's one of the reasons why having a protection shield is essential; it helps keep these unwanted energies at bay.

Another term you might come across in the spiritual world is psychic intrusion. Psychic intrusion refers to when someone—or something—spiritually invades your personal space or energy field. This can happen consciously or unconsciously. Sometimes, it’s the result of someone projecting their emotions, thoughts, or energy towards you. In other cases, it could be a spiritual entity or low-vibrational being attempting to attach to your energy field. Psychic intrusion can lead to feelings of unease, confusion, or even physical discomfort. It is important to recognize when this is happening and use spiritual tools—like the protection shield—to clear your energy and restore balance.

In addition to psychic intrusion, we may also encounter haunting energies—spirits or entities that linger around, especially if they are drawn to low-vibrational emotions like fear, grief, or anger. These energies may feel intrusive, as though they are invading your space or disrupting your peace. The key to dealing with them is to recognize that you have the power to set boundaries with them, through practices like shielding and energetic clearing.

Step-by-Step Process to Create Your Protection Shield

Find a quiet space and sit comfortably.

Take deep breaths to relax your body and mind.

Visualize a glowing light surrounding your body.

Set your intention: “I am now creating a protection shield.”

Visualize your shield taking the form that feels right for you. Whether it’s a cloak, a suit of armor, or something else entirely, make it as detailed as possible.

Feel the strength and warmth of the shield. Let it envelop you fully, sensing its protective qualities.

Affirm that your shield will stay strong: “I am always protected.”

Close with deep breaths and trust in your shield’s power.

Additional Personal Tips for Spiritual Protection

Ground Yourself Regularly

Grounding helps you stay centered and connected to the Earth’s stabilizing energies. Walk barefoot, meditate with your focus on your root chakra, or spend time in nature.

Use Protective Stones and Crystals

Crystals like Black Tourmaline, Obsidian, and Amethyst can absorb negative energy and protect you. Carry them with you or place them around your space.

Practice Gratitude

Gratitude raises your vibration and strengthens your energetic protection.

Call on Spirit Guides and Angels

Don’t hesitate to call on protective spiritual beings for support and guidance.

Avoid Negative Environments

Be mindful of where you spend your time. Limit exposure to places or people that drain your energy.

Natural Salt on the Body

Use sea salt scrubs or baths to cleanse your energy field and remove unwanted attachments.

Basil and Lemon Bath

A powerful combination for energetic cleansing, reset your energy field by soaking in a bath with basil and lemon.

Cord Cutting

Release emotional and energetic attachments to others through cord cutting practices.

Cleansing vs. Purifying Your Environment

It’s important to understand that there is a distinction between cleansing and purifying the environment, especially when it comes to spiritual protection. While both practices can help clear negative energies, they have different effects and intentions.

Cleansing involves removing unwanted energies, including spirits, entities, and negative influences from a space. This is often done when there has been a buildup of stagnant, harmful, or low-vibrational energy. One of the most popular methods of cleansing is smudging with herbs like sage. While sage is effective for removing negative energy, it's important to note that it can also have a more powerful effect on the spiritual realm, including driving away not only low-vibrational entities but also other spirits that may be peaceful or neutral.

In some cases, smudging can have a more aggressive effect on the spiritual realm, potentially disturbing or even harming spirits that are not necessarily harmful but are simply present in the space. This is why it’s essential to be mindful of your intention and understand that cleansing can sometimes lead to a drastic shift in the spiritual atmosphere.

On the other hand, purification is more about balancing the energy of a space or an individual. Purification doesn't force any spirits or energies to leave; rather, it aligns and harmonizes the energy field. This practice tends to be gentler and more considerate of the energetic presence in the space, as it allows for peaceful co-existence with different types of energy.

Herbs like rosemary and mugwort are excellent for purification. Unlike sage, these herbs don’t tend to intoxicate or disturb spirits. Instead, they help balance the energies in the space, creating a more harmonious and peaceful environment. Mugwort, for example, is often used to enhance spiritual awareness and intuition, while rosemary is known for its ability to protect and purify without causing disruption to the spirit world.

Just like the sound of a Tibetan singing bowl, which is known for its ability to purify the energy field through its resonating frequencies, purification works to smooth out energetic imbalances without expelling or harming any spirits. The focus is on restoring harmony and elevating the vibrational state of the space or individual.
