In today’s chaotic world, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or drained by the energy around us. Whether it’s a stressful environment, emotional interactions, or simply the collective energy of a group of people, learning how to protect your energy and set boundaries is essential for maintaining your well-being. Here are 7 simple yet powerful techniques to help you stay energetically clear and balanced:
1. Use an Energy-Clearing Statement to Block Negative Energy
When you sense someone’s energy creeping into your space, try saying this, either out loud or in your head:
"Thank you for the information, but this isn’t mine. Please take it where it needs to go now."
This helps you acknowledge and release energy that doesn’t belong to you, allowing you to maintain your energetic boundaries and keeping it from disrupting your overall wellbeing.
2. Visualize a Protective Barrier
Visualization is a powerful tool for creating energetic boundaries. Imagine yourself surrounded by a golden suit of armor or an energetic bubble of light. This protective barrier acts as a shield, keeping out unwanted energy while allowing beneficial energy to flow freely.
This is best used as a daily practice before you interact with others and prevents unwanted energy from affecting you in the first place. As you work on this protective visualization, breathe deeply and feel the strength of your boundary—see it as a luminous, flexible shield that moves with you while filtering out negative or heavy energy.
3. Carry a Protective Object
Physical objects can serve as symbols of protection and intention. Items like a bracelet, necklace, or pocket stone can act as an energetic shield and protect you from the energy of others. Choose something that resonates with you and makes you feel protected, and try infusing it with your intention for protection.
Hold it in your hands before you wear it or put it in your pocket, and ask that it help to shield you from energy that's not for your highest good. As you do this, visualize the object creating a clear, luminous boundary around you—a protective layer that allows only positive, supportive energy to enter your personal space while keeping out unwanted negative energy.
4. Clear Your Space
Negative energy can accumulate in your home or workspace, and will accumulate the heaviest in ceiling corners. Use tools like sage, palo santo, or incense to cleanse your environment. Walk slowly and methodically through each room while holding the sage, palo santo or incense up towards the ceiling. Follow the lines of the ceiling, pause in the corners, and repeat this mantra:
"Please clear my home/space of any negative or heavy energy that is not for my/our highest good and take it where it needs to go now. Thank you."
Afterwards, fill the energy that’s been cleared with positive energy by lighting rose incense or diffusing essential oils like lavender or rose otto. Allow the high vibrational energy of the rose or lavender to fill the space completely and prevent unwanted energy from settling back in.
5. Connect With Crystals and Essential Oils
Crystals and essential oils are natural allies in energetic protection. Some powerful options include:
Amethyst: Dispels negative energy and sets protective boundaries.
Black Tourmaline: Shields against psychic attack and neutralizes negativity.
Rose Otto Oil: Fills energetic voids with high-vibrational love and light.
Vetiver Oil: Grounds your energy and reinforces boundaries.
Combine these tools in ways that resonate with you by placing crystals strategically in your home, workspace, or next to your bed, creating a custom essential oil body spray or roll-on protective perfume, or simply diffusing protective and grounding essential oils in your space. Use your intuition when choosing crystals or essential oils to work with; the right ones will be the ones that call to you the most.
6. Call on Your Angels, Spirit Guides, or Light Beings
You are never alone in your energetic journey. Angels, spirit guides, and light beings are always available to support and protect you. Inviting these higher energies into your life not only provides protection but also fosters a deep sense of peace and reassurance. Here’s how to connect with them:
Ask for Help: Simply state your intention and request their assistance. For example: "I ask my spirit guides and angels to clear me from any energy that is not for my highest good. Please shield me and surround me with protective light."
Visualization: Imagine being enveloped in the loving presence of your guides or angels, their energy forming a protective shield around you.
Daily Practice: Develop a daily routine of gratitude and connection by acknowledging their presence and thanking them for their support.
7. Grounding Meditation for Morning and Night
A grounding meditation is a powerful way to anchor yourself and manage your energy throughout the day. Regular grounding meditations can help you stay centered, protected, and energetically clear. Here’s how to incorporate it into your routine:
Morning Meditation: Begin your day by sitting quietly and visualizing roots extending from your tailbone deep into the Earth's core. Imagine drawing up the Earth’s stable, grounding energy to fill your body and create a shield around you. This practice helps prevent negative energy from affecting you during the day.
Evening Meditation: At night, sit in a quiet space and repeat the visualization of roots extending into the Earth's core from your tailbone. This time, focus on releasing any accumulated negative or stagnant energy down into the Earth (like draining water from a bathtub) so it can be neutralized, reabsorbed and recycled for future use. Imagine yourself being filled with fresh, cleansing Earth energy to restore balance.

Etsy or your local crystal shop are great places to find crystals that resonate with you. Sacred Elephant Incense sells the highest quality incense I've found. And finally, for essential oils, I recommend Original Swiss Aromatics or Mountain Rose Herbs. I'm not currently affiliated with any of these, but do love their products for my own personal use.
