A Universe of Energy
We live in a world of energy, in fact, it's a fabulous web of energy that connects all living things. This is incredible as it means we can tune in to anything in this energetic web, but at some point, we wake up to realise that this energy isn't all positive!
Having awareness in this area is key. It is our responsibility to look after our energy first and foremost. We are working to keep ourselves balanced and aligned and this is super important. When we aren't in balance we are much more vulnerable and likely to be affected by lower energies.
Balancing Energies
We currently live in a world of duality; we can experience both light and dark, higher and lower energies. There is a hierarchy to these energies.....think of cherubs to Archangels in terms of light and mischievous, to downright dangerous (with respect to the darker ones).
Sensitivity is a gift, being able to feel gives us such a head start in tuning in to all energies, higher, lower and everything in between. This can be tricky until we accept that this sensitive nature has something really positive to share with us.
As our frequency rises we become a beacon of light that attracts all sorts of interest and not just from the higher beings of light, but from these darker energies as well. This is not meant to scare, just raise levels of awareness so that we can all do our part to raise the light and work to purify the lower energies.
Where are the lower energies?
Within us? Did you know that we create negative energy by the thoughts we are thinking, words we are speaking and actions we take?!
Within others? Being in contact with people who are thinking, speaking and acting negatively.... friends, family or just about anyone.
All around? We can go to a place where the energy feels weird/odd/downright uncomfortable. Energy can be imprinted on a place so it might be from a very long time ago.
Negative energy can also be created in the dream state, not just when we are in waking consciousness. Dreaming is a reality in a different level of consciousness and on waking we can feel deliriously happy or shockingly bad depending on the nature of the dream.
Dreams feel really real and the emotions they generate and the subsequent energy is real to. Regardless of whether we can remember the dream or not the emotions will still remain and it is really important to clear the energy in the bedroom. We all spend so much time sleeping that keeping the energy there high and bright really needs to be a priority.
Energy is everywhere and we are adding to this energy soup unconsciously, or hopefully, consciously. We need to make sure that our contribution is a good one.
How to protect yourself
There are so many ways we can protect ourselves. Here are some of my top suggestions, especially if you are new to this:
Start by keeping a positive mindset so we minimise the amount of negative energy we are generating.
Have awareness and raise our level of understanding in this area so we can be more prepared.
Be able to take appropriate action with the energetic tools to support us.
Using Crystals to raise your energy
We have the best tools to keep us safe. Crystals are amazing in terms of their energy and the variety that we can use to keep us protected. You should always work with crystals you are most drawn to, but if you are looking for some guidance, I would recommend:
Black crystals like Black Tourmaline and Black Obsidian not only ground us but keep us safe from harm.
Grounding crystals like Amber, Ruby, Garnet and Smoky Quartz will also protect us.
Grounded and Guided crystals like Larvikite, Fire Quartz and Hematite keep us aligned and better able to stay balanced.
Tiger Eye, Malachite, Selenite, Labradorite, Amethyst and Charoite are all masters at protection
Bear in mind that our personal Totem Crystals, Mayan crystals, Zodiac crystals and any significant crystals that you resonate with will have even more power to support you.
How you work with these crystals is, again, up to you. Do what you feel you need to. This could be wearing them as jewellery, carrying them in your pockets (I recommend tumble stones for this), or just having them in your environment or sacred space.
The harder we are expecting a crystal to work then the more we need to be looking after it in terms of cleansing and charging. Not obsessively, just when guided so that it can stay on top form and fulfil its potential while it is working with us.
Tools to raise your energy
The level of protection we need will evolve as we do, so just know that everything is always happening perfectly. We just need to be aware of the lower energies and then know what steps to take to protect ourselves against them. There are so many different things we can use singly or in combination, that's why it is so important to use our intuition. You could try:
Visualisation - bringing light down from the Cosmos through your Crown chakra to your heart and then sending it out in all directions
Sound - drum, singing bowl, Ting Sha bells
Essential oils - Palo Santo, Sage, White Angelica
Smudging/Incense - Sage, Palo Santo and Copal
Open a window - to bring clean air in
Flower essences - Petaltone do a range specifically for protection
Angels - the power of protection
Salt and salt lamps - nature's cleanser
Reiki symbols - if you are Reiki trained
Working with your guidance
We are all so uniquely different that we need to have toolboxes filled with different energetic tools that we combine in our own way at the perfect time. It is so important to use what we are guided to, the first thing that comes into our head.
We want our energy field to be clear and clean every single day. Like we have a shower or bath every day to cleanse our physical body we need to pay the same attention to our energy. If we feel off then the first thing we need to do is clear our energy field.
Protection isn't just about your physical body, it is about everything around you too. Consider working on:
Personal protection
Home protection
Workspace protection
Car protection
Travelling protection
There are only ever challenges that we work to overcome and protecting our energy is one of the really important ones.
Love and protective blessings,
Tiggy xx
