Shielding your Soul: 5 Ways to Protect your Energy

To obtain peace in your outside world, it's imperative you cleanse from the inside out. Here's five ways you can protect your peace, energy, and soul this week!

Cleansing & Care Day:

If you're seeking a week of cleansed energy, a self-care day is a productive way to launch your week. Projects along the lines of decluttering your space, (attempting) meditation, and burning sage all boost the energy cleansing process; therefore producing territory for clear energy and a positive start to the week. Personally, I need about two of these days per week. Recognize that you may require more than a single cleansing day, we all recharge and reboot at different paces.

Mindfulness:

A key element to protecting your peace is being attentive to your own behavior. This week, attempt to listen and be aware of your thoughts. Seek out patience before reacting to others' energy. Although generating positive thoughts 24/7 is damn near impossible, we possess the power of limiting the energy we grant to negative thoughts. Place pure intentions behind your thoughts, speak to yourself as you would someone you admire, and understand that how you choose react to others' behavior affects your energy.

Magic in Solitude:

As I view life, the people I find the most at peace are the ones who acquire the wisdom of the magic in remoteness. Many of us (commonly teens and young adults) feel obligated to indulge every time we're invited to socialize. It's extremely necessary AND healthy to set aside quality time for yourself. Over the next seven days, pick a time of the day (or if you're anything like me.. an ENTIRE day) where you'll enjoy your own company. Take yourself to brunch, partake in a movie day, or simply sit in your room and appreciate the peace. Submerge in your solitude.

Uplifting Environment:

Without a doubt, your environment can either be severely beneficial or damaging to your energy. While on a mission to protect your peace, attempt to stay mindful of your surroundings: friends, music, television, social media, and yes- family, too. As much as I adore my own space and peace, I've always been an individual who values engaging and connecting with other beings. If you appreciate the comfort of others and require time with companions yet desire to protect your energy simultaneously, I recommend spending time with like-minded, familiar souls this week. Entertainment affects our energy as well, so this week turn that sad shit off kings and queens! Here's a few (throwback) songs that never fail to brighten my energy:

Jill Scott x Golden

Natasha Bedingfield x Unwritten

Des'ree x You Gotta Be

Rick Ross x Magnificent

Amerie x Why Don't We Fall in Love

*Consistently interacting with only the people who maneuver similarly to you can be hazardous- as it stunts personal growth (in my opinion). However, if you need some human interaction this week, like-minded souls might lessen the chance of any interference with your energy cleansing."

Visualize & Voice:

Visualizing a shield of protection encircling you is a powerful, strategic method to protecting your energy- particularly for empaths. As bizarre as it seems, exercise visualizing your shield (a golden light, an invisible bubble, etc) at times where you feel you don't currently require the protection. Therefore when you do view the protection mandatory, you'll feel comfortable and confident utilizing your shield. Along with visualizing, SPEAK protection over your energy. Place passion and intention behind the words you state and trust your energy, space, and peace are secured.

"Need some inspiration on shield visualizing? Think back to Bella's power in Twilight: Breaking Dawn 2. If you missed out on this piece of American history, I'm appalled... GO WATCH!!!"
