I just want to know what people know about protecting there selves from energy steeling or the giveing of bad energy.

Strong psychic shields are the best answer.

what about against those you let in that you think you can trust then they open all your sheilds up and bam instant door.

yes very good question.. help..

Thanks King..:)

your welcom you see i have heard of a way i will tell it soon i just want to know what every one else has to say.

I put a salt ring up in my bed room almost every night befor I go to bed .

i thought that only worked for demons and ghost not energy tranfers.

i really need help with this.. i pass my energies, and soak up others bad energy cause i dont know how to block it

as to the question about what happens when you let someone in and they attack you . You can always try to send it back to them with a good feedback defense . Or a simpler way don't let them in . Its one of the reasons i don't let all mine defenses down i have been messed with befor

To answere your question i use the salt more as a physical line to set my mental barrier by . It helps me to have something to see while i work . I also do not follow other peoples spells and magic . I have found my own way of doing alot of things . The other way i block people out is to picture myself in an egg . Seriously

others energies just hit me hard enough to knock me over, invoke me to tears.. its like i get blindsided.. I really need help learning blocking tactics.. got any advice

ok well here is what i have found that when you take energy for some one make it match yours make it the exact same flow becasue after that then every time the try to steal from you you take from them because the only channel they have to take is teh on you make for them to give it to you so now they can no longer take it. And this way you can controll it the hole time.

ok

i would like to know what you guys you think.

Im really new with this.. so i dont have an opinion yet... I was a solitary practitioner for a long time back in my teens and early twenties. I have seen then strayed. Even back then i had no problem blocking or giving energy. Maybe i just wasnt open to being aware of it at that point. My ability as an empath has come profoundly to life over the last few years as well

I will have to try it . I just try to slow there flow and feed it back to them so they end up draining them selves . It doesn't come back to me though .

the best thing you can do if you can't stop the flow then put a mental block up and when it comes to you filter it so that it turns to good energy.

ok i'll be more specific .. because of my empath abilities, i tend to suck up peoples negative energy.. taking their fear, hurt, sadness.. away.. i then become overwhelmed.. hyper tweaky and a wreck basically.. cant think straight or focus..

that is my problem..

I dont know what i think yet on how to do it but researching it has been fun :) ty for the ideas.

i know and by building you filter you can purifiy it to make it good for you and if you realy need to make a field around you so that thats were it stays intell you need it.

Okay kioshi here is what i do becasue i used to have the same problem . tie a smokey quartz around your neck on hemp twine or other natural thread . Picture those negatives flowing from you in to the crystal . every night befor bed pour boiling water over the crystal picturing all of the negative energy going from the crystal in to the ground . I hope it helps

Ok i think i can handle that with ease.. all the other exercises ive read about will take practice. i did need something more immediate while i master the other practices.. thank a bunch skittles :o)

not a problem i used to have the same problem . It took me a while to master it and sometimes it still gets away from me

ok ok i can see that i have been doing it for so long i forgot about the basics so thats a fault on me.

Someone can only steal your energy if you believe that they can. I think that if believe that someone can steal your energy there is probably a good chance that someone will steal your energy. If you have a strong enough belief that nobody can steal your energy than nobody will be able to.

LOL King.. yeah some of us aren't up to par with you exp. folk.. hehe. but im glad you bought the topic up to help folks like me

id like to know how to protect myself too

Same here useually but i thought of that one cause i still have my old crystal hanging in my window for back up

thanks you all have been wonderful!!

well i can give advice on all kinds of protections jst let me know what you want to know about.

onyx and hemitie work wonders in protecting me from any kinda of psy attack.. and they are pretty lol.

But i have found the best way for me personally to deal with someone trying to steal energy.. is to give them what the want.. as much energy as I can ram down the link as hard and fast as I can.. its amazing how fast people not expecting that will back away.

thats nice.. one day I'll get there

I know you will get there . I had never thought of doing that with my energy but i will have to give it a go next time .

My defense against dark energy is usually executed by exuding negative energy and thoughts.

I basically beat the attackers to the punch with a negative counter-attack.

It works great for me . I use organic sea salt . as a base and on really bad days a little ash from my wood stove .

ok sounds like salt is a protection around here..

if you are mentally srong minded i see no one can touch you. but if i feel a week person i help them feel better about there wellness .. do to nor ro make them any more sicker..

salt is a wonderfully protective substance.. sea salt seems to work a bit better I have found as well. Not really sure why it helps.. but then as long as it works I am content.

that was a typo strong is the word..

I know all about it... self shielding...wards....sending psychic feed back yeah i got lots of practice but its hard to explain....i learned through trial and error...but i can tell ya how to start

i didnt thinnk that salt worked either but i never hear of using both salt and ash

i have been told that to get through my defenses one must find the secret door or they wind up going through a endless maze never to get to me i dont know how the maze got there but i have been told by a Wiccan Priestess that it is there and it is well built only the ones i want to get to me get to be the others wind up giving up

SeaSalt, Amythyst, and Rose quartz work for me.

Another helpful step is to be aware of when and in what situations you are most susceptible to an energy drain, possibly limiting that exposure until you are a little better equipped to resist..

Thats very true too.

I myself salt all areas doors and windows and depending on what I feel is going on a home or self protection ritual

I find adding the ash works for a rew reasons .
1) the druids belived the trees had great spirits and useful magic
2) When the fire is going I picture evertyhing negative in my life burning in ther cleansing flame . I put a little ash out side the salt ring and picture it basically telling the salt what to block out

My girlfriend is into whichcraft so when i find out i will let you all no.. i remember something that she uses salt but i will still ask her..

you mean like a protection spell or something like that

to protect your self you should use sea salt.. ..

protect your hole place of living outside with seasalt ..

and get a witch bottle and put in the ground..

this is what i was told ..

Well I know my friend Rosalie who had to do a protection spell on herself because something was feeding off her. She told me she learned it from specter.

when you feel your energy being drained, send a bad feeling down the channel, therefore, putting a temparary block on their draining power

ok thats a way to to think about it..it may also relieve stress..

Use your natural ability to block such draining. If you are being drained to the extent that you find it debilitating, be aware and strengthen your shields.

These are interesting thoughts. Thanks for sharing.

How powerful would one have to be to take energy from a person against their will.

You are supposed to see bright, white light shining down on you and all around you, like a sphere or bubble protecting you, all in white light.

You can dance/jump up and down, to get rid of negative energies or take a shower. Stay away from people that make you sick feeling or drained. Heed your intuition.

im with gwen on this one,thats what i would do :D

Thanks Me lol When I said strengthen your shields I should have added that by strengthening your shields you can do this by using meditation to find your center and thereby control your shielding ability.

Place your hands together fingers pointing out thumbs pointing back forming a sort of upside down diamond. This is a technique I read about that tells other psy vamps to back off. You still have to focus your energy on blocking a psy attack.

I used to have the same problem, Kioshi. Here are a few thoughts: Empathy doesn't have to be a bad thing, but you have to set boundaries on it because taking on others' shit just leaves you both messed up. If you're an empath/healer like I am, it blocks your healing abilities. You can't heal someone else if you're messed up yourself.

If you can sense that link where they're draining you and you're not immediately with them, you can cut it off with cold steel. I've found that the back (up around the shoulder blades and base of the neck) is a very common attachment point for people who tend to drain without permission. Simply ground, center, and take any steel knife or flattish piece of iron and run it flat against the skin while visualizing cutting those unwanted attachments away spiritually--it works best with an athame, but any steel or iron will help in a pinch.

I do second the use of hematite for its protective and grounding abilities as well as its ability to reflect negativity back where it came from--that's why I wear it probably 98% of the time. Sea salt is also awesome in places like your home, but a little trickier to carry around unless you create a medicine bag that you wear for protection. And I have a clump of smoky quartz crystals in my living room sucking down the negativity, though it's due for a cleaning again. Someone suggested rose quartz, which is a stone that promotes good emotions and loving energy. It's not a bad choice; neither is malachite.

I'd also suggest carrying around a blue chalcedony stone, if you can find one, as I've noticed that helps in healing empathic pain. Try holding it or rubbing it, much like a worry stone, when you're getting overwhelmed; it could help until you get better at making strong shields. The technique of making a diamond with your fingers while focusing on blocking energy drains as described above is
useful, though it has the drawback of blocking all energy, positive and negative, wanted or unwanted.

As far as long-term protection, psychic shields are probably your best bet. I start by grounding and centering, then building a ball of light at my center and expanding it, pushing out all unwanted energies with it. The first one is a bumpy one that reacts to unwanted energy by turning spiky. As the second one goes out past my skin, it starts to get darker until it becomes like a window tint, mirrored on the outside. Such a shield filters out a large percentage of the stuff coming in so it doesn't overwhelm me. plus reflecting their own sh*t back at them; I've gotten so I can vary the level of tint to allow/block more energy. If I cast those right after I shower for the day (the shields melt with hot water and all the junk trapped on them from the day goes down the drain...), and then wear my hematite, silver, and/or the occasional smoky quartz or malachite piece, I'm usually good. It will take time and work to get to the point where your shields are nearly impenetrable unless you choose to let someone in, but it is possible.

An easy way to build a sheild is to invision a silvery white light extending from the universal source down to you and encompassing you. Around and over you and under you and you can add protective magic to it and a mirror sheild to that to send back negative energies to the source that sent it to you.

A simple mirror spell I use on my mirror sheild is ," Back Back Send Black Back ".

Then their is more advanced sheildings and alot more complex ones and ancient ones to use.

Another thing that may help is ground yourself with Mother Earth and use Mother Earth to filter negativity out for you and bring positive energies into yourself.

Basically making an electrical circuit the energy flows through you down the ground into the earth and from the earth to you again after being filtered of impurities and negativity and giving you bak positive energies.

Hope this helps some and if you need more help message me.

cere... you're so right bro... :)
i couldnt have said it better... that will help a lot if you want to be protected...

Maybe using some sort of amulet or charm to ward off bad energy would help.

that is a good question how do u protect urself

shielding yourself is really the best way to do it.

Blissful ignorance seems to be the best way for me ^^

My ex seemed to be able to draw from people quite well without REALY knowing what she could do...
Managed to block her a few times just by keeping myself blank on the inside... though she is a rooky, no idea what it would be like against someone who knows what there doing
^^

The will and strength of the defender is supreme. The defender, by surviving wins. The attacker must force the victim to sucomb. Strength is in the will.

I never protect myself against it. I think its bound to happen one way or another

I think it is silly to think you can protect your self all the time but if you feel like you should protect your self then don't think about it just put up a "sheild" I use a simple mantra when I feel like some one or some thing is trying to drain me.

I maybe new to VR, but I personally have a lot of knowledge about protection. Especially with cleaning objects and charging them with positive energy.

I myself imagine myself surround by a large thick globe of steel, so smooth light just bounces off of it like a mirror. Putting me in a bubble of darkness where nothing can enter or leave through this thick steel globe that surrounds me.

This makes me feel extremely safe and I put alot of concentration into this. To protect yourself is actually simple.

First:
I find that it is best to meditate and visilize something around you that makes you feel the safest. Like a castle, a maze, a wall of water, a bubble of white energy, ect.... It can be many different things. The more concentration put into this "defensive structure" the more powerful it will become.

Second:
Get yourself something to remind you of this defense. Like a ring or a necklace, earrings, a bracelet. Something charged with your own energy, something personal that you wear often. Look at this and make a mental note to yourself that this item will be what is your physical link to your protection, sort of like a good luck charm. In all honesty it doesn't matter but it's there solely to remind you of your defenses.

That is a simple defensive thing you can do to help protect yourself, plus it can be erected quickly if you feel exposed.

I meditate daily and it really helps. You need to be rested in all ways, not just physically.

power mind block all go to protecting ones self

I either cast a shield or wear a talisman to protect myself from negative energies and or spells.

I believe it will give some level of protection if one wears a protection charm, around ones neck, or a bracelet, it shouldnt be seen by others, and it should be something one believes in.

well i have my book but i can often use candles and they work rather well

I have bags of herbs that I have placed around my home that have healing, protective powers. They help to ward off draining influences.

I usually visualize a bubble around me impervious to thoughts and actions of others. Visualization is what helps me.

I find the burning of sage helps to cleanse and Purify and negate the ill effects of energy draining.

these are all good!
sage is great to cleanse and bless, also sweet grass if you have some. you can sage yourself daily as a protective ritual either before your day starts and after especially. charms and amulets are good, as long as you see it as a reminder of your belief and its power to protect. no matter what. what I mean is, what if it fell off by mistake or was stolen? .... its a bummer to have that happen, BUT your faith in that symbol still protects you.
Adding bags of herbs and other things, need to be refreshed and charged.
Okay, I think you should practice shielding, its important and the more you do it the better and stronger you will be at this. there are many sources and books. But the best is to learn from a more experienced person, maybe someone you know that does this well. ask them to help you. In many pagan/metaphysical shops they hold classes or may know someone or give you some advice.
The other thing is work on you solar plexus chakra. make this area strong.

in my oppinion is mind over matter,if you have a strong mind you can deny them your energy

I wear my talisman, which never comes off

I personaly use many levels of shields and never truely open alll of them unless I'm feeding then they are only opened briefly. but then it's the negative energy I feed off of.

For one while trying out new spells make sure you have someone who has more experience with you. Two never put to much energy into one person spiritually or mentally. It leaves you weak and unable to make proper decisions. The last one is just a given, put up proper boundaries.

Smudging with white sage is an ancient custom of North American Indians who have used and continue to use this method for clearing unwanted energies. You can purchase dried white sage in a variety of shops today or you can grow and dry your own white sage.It's important to clear yourself each day and to clear your home and car at least once a week as a normal maintenance procedure. Today most people are exposed to many negative energies in their workplaces, in stores, restaurants, and almost anywhere they go. Anyone can pick up negative energies by just walking around.People who work in close quarters with others, and this includes teachers, nurses, physicians, therapists, factory workers, energy workers, office workers etc., need to smudge and clear daily. Some of the negative energy carried in one persons aura can easily flip into your own aura, eventually causing illness. Daily smudging is a powerful clearing tool to use on yourself and your office to keep your energy field clear of "accidental" energy transfers.

depending on how strong your energy is will depend on if you can be able to feel when bad energy is present and if you put up a force field pyschically speaking you can protect yourself from anyone...

for some reason for me it was easy and i did it without knowing i did it until someone tried to get inside. They found a maze that they didnt seem like they were able to navigate through. It was only 3 people ever able to figure it out and those 3 can not and will not hurt me and that is the only reason they were able to get through to me

Question - when you do the protection for yourself and for you bed to prevent evil because you have something invading your dreams. what do you do to protect you pet? Granted you pet may start sleeping on you bed and be protected at that time but if he/she jumps off are they still protected? if you put a circle around the house what if they go out of the barrier? what if they dont were a collar? how do you offer the same protection to your pet??? It may sound silly to some but its not to others.

At the house it's smudging some sage, and even sea salt around the house... when I travel, I will use pocket mirrors to put up against the mirrors in the hotel room, to reflect back an not allow the mirrors to be used against me.

you can also take a bath with sea salt... and there are some simple spells you can practice to protect yourself and also protect the place where you are...
i have some spells in my journal if you want to know more, you can message me...

I am of the belief that you just need to develope stronger shields and keep yourself aware of your surroundings at all times

Put up a mental block

well that can be done by cleaseing your body daily and having a pis shield up to ward off every evil or bad energy from corrupting you energy.

When it comes to matters of the mind, always rely on meditation. Through meditation you will gain awareness and strength. Both of which are strong factors when protecting yourself.

Visualize a wall, or meditate.

Do you have to be near someone to steal their energy or can it be done through thought alone?

wow this ones ez for protetion blessed pentacle a pentacle is the symble for protetion but you will need more then that incents and blessed candels and medatation and some herbs to clear and streanthin your mind

for healing crystals some metals and yes magnets are consicerd a metal and some herbs will help in healing also

o and there are some herbs that will enhanced your looks some

but those are all im willing to help with on that subject

You need to learn to close yourself off from others.

closing you self off or not letting people only blocks the mind not your ora and thats where the good and bad energy comes from is the ora
