Yes, psychics protect themselves from any negative energy which a client might bring to a reading or an energy session. When the psychics told me how they protected themselves, they said that they either lived in a protective bubble all the time, or that they did certain things to increase their level of protection prior to readings. In addition, some psychics also increased their levels of protection when they went out in public.
Here are some paraphrased examples:
One psychic said,
“Before a reading, I surround myself with white light for protection and ask for the Highest and Best to come through. Then I start listening to Spirit. I surround myself with the white light because I can become so sensitive that I need a shield around myself to keep negativity away. A reader shouldn’t just invite anybody in for communication.”
Another psychic told me she was trained to Protect, Ground, and Activate herself before each reading. She protected herself by asking the white light to come down and protect her from anything which could cause her harm mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally, socially or psychically.
A third psychic told me that she uses oils to protect her aura. Then, at the end of a reading, she uses sage, incense, and oils to clear the area.
One of the psychics told me that she prays before talking to clients. She also has a mirror in the room so that energy can bounce off of it and not stay on her. She wears certain colors which help the client’s energy stay off of her. In addition, she washes her hands before and after readings.
One psychic told me that she asks Mother Mary to protect her during readings. She has asked Spirit only to send people for readings who were on their spiritual path. She doesn’t want to read for people who are just looking for lottery numbers or boyfriends.
Here is John Hunter’s answer to the question, “Do you protect yourself before you do readings?”
“I do. Sometimes I use a stone or a crystal. I establish an energy field around myself so I can focus and relax. The environment has to be set so that low vibrations are not allowed in the space. I want to know if low vibrations are approaching so I can address them.
“It goes back to the universal law which the two counselors taught me when I was introduced to the metaphysical world. Universal law says that you have to announce yourself, or introduce yourself, before you can approach someone else’s space. Not that everybody does that, but the universal law, the respectful way of communicating or approaching someone, would be to mentally, or consciously, ask their permission. If someone comes into your space, you have the opportunity to address them before they can attach to you.
“In my space, I ask for that law to be respected.”
Kermie Wohlenhaus answered:
“I say a prayer and ground myself. I don’t start my day, or go out of the house, without protecting myself with five layers of Divine light. Sometimes, the angels will ask me to ground even more before a particular client comes in, or a specific chapter is drafted.”
Aitreyia explained:
“I don’t feel I need to protect myself when I do readings. Protection is important until people are clean, clear, and strong within themselves. I advocate it until that time. Protection is like setting boundaries.
“Developing yourself is similar to going to school. In first grade, when it rains, you put on your raincoat and take your umbrella. By fifth grade, you love playing in the rain, and you’re not getting hurt. I have guardians and I don’t feel that there is anything to be protected from. I don’t see the duality of good and evil, light and dark, anymore. My Guides keep disharmonious energy away from me. Jealousy, anyone wishing me ill; they take care of that energy which is flying around Earth. Archangel Michael said that if you go out in the rain, even if you are carrying an umbrella, you are going to get wet. I just have to keep myself clean and clear, and recognize when I need to take an energy shower. If I get dirty, I need to ask myself, “Why?” What do I need to change within myself?”
Maryushka answered:
“I say a protection prayer. I ask for protection and for only the highest source to come through. I am not dealing with minor characters. It’s a quick plug right into the big universal socket.”
Nancy Parsons had this reply:
“I have an eggshell technique which I learned from Sherry Whitfield which I do on a daily basis. It is a visual, spiritual energy shell which I place around myself for protection. Our auric field goes out as far as our hands go. Up, down, and around. We are inside of our eggshell. Throughout the day, things come in and out of our eggshell. Maybe we hug someone. Maybe we have an argument with a bank teller. We have a coating around the eggshell which protects us, but situations which we don’t invite can penetrate through that eggshell and attach to us.
“If something uncomfortable happens, I have a salt technique which clears the energy. I carry salt with me when I do readings. After each reading, I use the salt for one minute to clear out stagnant energy. Salt works as a universal cleanser. This is one of the tools I learned from Candace Lienhart.
“Wherever you are, if you are in a restaurant, or if you feel a creepy person in the grocery store, you can use salt to clear out the energy. People don’t understand that they need to be clearing out constantly. There’s a lot of energy floating around.”
This is how Cyndi Clarke protects herself:
“I put the white light of Christ around us. Everything I do is Christ-based. I call in all of our Guides, guards, teachers, angels, loved ones, and extra-specials. Years ago, we couldn’t say 'extra-terrestrials,' so we called them 'extra-specials.' I call upon all of those people who are in our energies to help be our gate keepers and protect us. Depending on the group, I may do the Lord’s prayer.”
Finally, Jesse Ann Nichols George answered:
“At one time, I thought I needed to protect myself because I was opening many energies and I wasn’t certain what I was opening. A lot of energies were coming in. As I evolved, I realized that I didn’t need protection from other energies as much as I needed to keep myself in a clear and pure state. I started operating at a vibrational frequency which automatically kept negativity out.”
I hope you found these answers as interesting as I found them.
