Psychic Protection Techniques for Mediums
Why Protection Is Non-Negotiable
When you open yourself to spirit communication, you're opening energetic doorways that allow beings and energies to interact with you. While most spirit contact is positive and helpful, without proper protection you can:
- Attract unwanted entities or negative energies
- Absorb others' emotions and energy (especially for empaths)
- Experience psychic attacks or energy drain
- Become overwhelmed by spiritual input
- Lose grounding and stability
- Suffer physical, emotional, or mental exhaustion
Psychic protection is not optional—it's the foundation of safe, sustainable spirit work. Just as you wouldn't leave your front door unlocked in a dangerous neighborhood, you shouldn't open to the spirit realm without proper shielding.
Understanding Psychic Attacks and Energy Drain
What Is a Psychic Attack?
A psychic attack is intentional or unintentional negative energy directed at you that can cause:
- Sudden exhaustion or illness
- Nightmares or disturbed sleep
- Anxiety, depression, or mood swings
- Bad luck or obstacles appearing
- Feeling watched or followed
- Technology malfunctions around you
Sources of psychic attacks:
- Intentional: Someone consciously sending negative energy (rare)
- Unintentional: Someone's jealousy, anger, or ill will affecting you
- Entity attachment: Negative spirits or entities draining your energy
- Energetic cords: Unhealthy attachments to toxic people
- Thought forms: Negative beliefs or fears manifesting as energy
Energy Vampires
Energy vampires are people (living or dead) who drain your life force:
- Leave you exhausted after interactions
- Constantly need your attention and energy
- Create drama to feed on emotional reactions
- Don't respect boundaries
- May not be conscious of what they're doing
Essential Daily Protection Practices
1. The White Light Shield (Foundation)
Most basic and essential protection—do this EVERY morning:
- Stand or sit comfortably
- Take three deep breaths
- Visualize brilliant white light pouring down from above
- See it filling your entire body from crown to toes
- Watch it expand outward, forming a bubble around you
- The bubble extends 3-6 feet in all directions
- Set intention: "This shield protects me from all negative energy. Only love and light may enter."
- See the shield becoming impenetrable, like diamond
- Reinforce throughout the day as needed
Duration: 2-3 minutes | Frequency: Daily minimum, before any spirit work
2. The Violet Flame Transmutation
For clearing and transmuting negative energy:
- Invoke Saint Germain: "I call upon the Violet Flame"
- Visualize violet fire rising from the Earth
- See it engulfing your entire being and aura
- Feel it burning away all negativity, transmuting it to light
- Chant: "I AM a being of violet fire, I AM the purity God desires"
- Continue for 5-10 minutes
- Feel yourself becoming lighter and clearer
Use when: You feel heavy, attacked, or contaminated by negative energy
3. The Mirror Shield
Reflects negativity back to its source:
- After creating your white light bubble
- Visualize the outer surface becoming mirrored
- Like a disco ball or mirror shield
- Any negative energy sent to you bounces off harmlessly
- It returns to sender transmuted into light
- You remain untouched and protected
Use when: Dealing with known energy vampires or hostile environments
4. Archangel Michael Invocation
Calling in divine protection:
"Archangel Michael, I call upon your presence and protection. Please surround me with your blue flame of protection. Cut all cords that do not serve my highest good. Shield me from all negative energies, entities, and influences. I am safe, protected, and divinely guided. Thank you. Amen."
Visualize: Archangel Michael standing before you with his blue flaming sword, cutting away all negative attachments
5. Grounding Cord
Anchoring to Earth for stability:
- Visualize a thick cord of light extending from your root chakra
- See it going down through the floor, into the earth
- Watch it descend through soil, rock, and mineral layers
- Anchor it deep in the Earth's core
- Set intention: "All excess or negative energy drains down this cord"
- Feel yourself becoming stable, rooted, unmovable
Benefit: Prevents energy overload and keeps you anchored in physical reality
