Have you ever walked into a room and instantly felt drained or on edge — even though nothing “bad” seemed to be happening? Or found yourself picking up someone else’s mood, thoughts, or even pain?

If so, you’re not alone — and you’re probably more sensitive to energy than most. This is where energy protection comes in.

What Is Energy Protection?

Energy protection is about creating a strong, sovereign space around your energy field — one that you consciously hold and manage. It doesn’t mean becoming guarded or shutting others out. Think of it like sun cream or a raincoat. You’re not avoiding the world — you’re simply honouring what you need to feel safe and comfortable within it.

Empaths often feel they have to merge with others or take on their pain in order to help — but doing so only drains you and keeps both of you stuck. When you protect your energy, you’re affirming that your energy matters. You’re choosing to support others from a place of clarity and strength, not depletion.

I know this firsthand. Years ago, I stopped coaching because I was unknowingly absorbing my clients’ energy. I felt overwhelmed and drained, and it lowered my vibration. Since learning how to protect and clear my energy field, I’m a much more grounded, effective practitioner — able to hold space without being pulled into someone else’s struggle.

Why Is Protection Important?

When your energetic field is strong and protected, you feel:

Clear and grounded
Calm and confident
More present in your own body and energy
Less overwhelmed by other people’s emotions or environmental stress

When you’re unprotected, your energy can become tangled with others’. You might find yourself:

Absorbing other people’s moods or headaches
Struggling with anxiety, distraction or fatigue
Feeling “off” after being in certain places or around certain people
Picking up cords or attachments you didn’t even realise were there

It’s not always dramatic — sometimes it’s subtle. But over time, it adds up.

Protection Is About Intention

Protection begins with awareness. We set the intention to strengthen our own energy and stay in alignment — especially when we open up spiritually (such as during healing, meditation, or energy work).

You can still be open, intuitive, and compassionate — while also being centred in your energy and not everyone else’s.

What Are We Protecting Ourselves From?

Other people’s thoughts, moods or stress
Energetic cords
Overstimulating environments (noise, light, crowds)
Energetic imprints in places
Spirit attachment or psychic attack
General negativity that pulls us off-centre

How Do You Protect Your Energy?

There are lots of tools — the key is finding what works for you. Some favourites include:

Grounding practices
Cleansing your aura and chakras regularly
Visualising protective layers (bubbles, cloaks, pyramids, mirrors, etc.)
Setting strong energetic boundaries
Asking for support from your Guides, Angels or Source
Using crystals like black tourmaline, obsidian, or amber
Saying a prayer, blessing, or mantra before sessions, meetings, or travel
Staying in a positive vibration

Energy protection isn’t about living in fear. It’s about choosing how you engage with the world — with awareness, agency, and care for your own wellbeing.

When your energy is strong and protected, you don’t shrink back from life — you shine brighter within it.
