Protection is a necessity in this rapidly changing world. And with any energy work, protection is a priority. The ultimate 5D Empath will not need shielding, achieving a clarity that allows for transmutation of negativity without any blockages. Few Empaths have reached this level of Mastery. The best protections are both physical and energetic. The body, environment, chakras and the psyche can be strengthened with consistent care. There are several ways to protect ourselves and our environment. I have developed some of these intuitively and others are common practice among Empaths and Healers I may have modified somewhat to suit my current sensibilities. (:

THE ENVIRONMENT

Our physical environment is a trap for old, negative and stagnant energies. We need to purge and cleanse our homes and work spaces regularly. I program and burn white candles continuously. Sage sticks can be used as often as necessary to cleanse all rooms and corners. I have a clearing mantra I use while smudging my home, “Love and Light, Love and Light, Take away the psychic night”, or “Fill this space with Love and Grace.” I use them a lot when online and working with people to keep the space around me and the work clear. If sage is not your herb of choice, sandalwood is a good alternative and can be found in incense. I like to alternate and use them both. Strategically placed screens and mirrors can also deflect negativity. Feng Shui principles help with clearing stale patterns and maximizing the energy patterns in Our spaces. Lights and quality music help to dispel errant thought patterns, in a room. Sunlight, especially, will dissipate negativity. When feeling down or pressured, I open all the blinds. As We grow in abilities, it will become easier to clear and shield simply with awareness, breath, and intention.

THE BODY

For me personally, nothing beats sage soap for cleansing the subtle energies and the body. I use it in the shower daily. I make sure to cleanse all chakras and pay special attention to my head, neck and shoulders. I have a long handled Loofa so that I can ensure adequate cleansing of my back. I use an affirmation in English. At other times I use the Star Languages I was reintroduced to in Peru in 2014. The Languages seem to surface when I need a little extra cleansing and protection. Also the staples, Sage and Sandalwood work on and around the body too. I have oils and oil/flower essence combos that are wonderful for connecting to ancestral and celestial roots and centering. These connections come with added support and protection. I call upon Arch Angel Michael when in disorienting or uncomfortable situations. I have him allow only what is appropriate and right for my highest good and the highest good of all to interact within my field.
Some protective substances work from the inside out, like salt. In moderate amounts, salt is a crystal and helps to cleanse. I use another substance to specifically inoculate the heart from those that would do, send or wish negativity. It is called Banapsha, common name Sweet Violet (Violette Douce). It is a small sweet flower native to northern India. When I began using it, I realized that I felt more centered and shielded. It can be crushed and used as a sweetener, or made into a mild tea. I prefer the latter, adding a small amount of the tea to all my water bottles. Sipping this is like a protective boost throughout the day. It has also beneficial to the Cardiovascular System on the physical level. I found Banapsha in a Greek market and picked it intuitively to find out later it had medicinal properties for the heart. And apparently metaphysical ones too! Trust your intuition. Source will lead You to healing substances that best serve You. These are tools and crutches We can use until fuller understanding and mastery of Our skills presents.

THE PSYCHE

Beyond these tools, are the psychological tools we need to hone our gifts. Empowerment is a crucial mental aspect of protection. When we feel powerless, our auras are dimmer and our protections weaker. When interactions with others feel off balance and leave me drained instead of energized, I know that I have allowed negativity into my field. I use power retrieval rituals to return the dynamic to balance and Bless it. This is a simple meditation for visualizing our energetic exchanges and releasing discomfort. Bring the person’s image to mind, focusing on where You feel the discomfort within You. Call your power back. My Mantra “I NOW call my power back to me. I Am whole, complete and free.” Using this, I begin to see and understand my part in the dynamic. I must “give up” my power, no one can really take it from me. At times, I have been intimidated and not stood up for myself. Other times, the dynamic was more manipulative, and I had been tricked. The vast majority of the time when meditating in this way; I feel energies returning to me. Larger conflicts may take several meditations. I have spent time daily for several weeks on more deeply seated fears.
With growing clarity, (see TEW and Empathic Clarity pt 1 and 2), and mounting empowerment, Discernment becomes the next major tool for the Empath. When grounded (see TEW and Grounding) and protected, the Empath shifts from being a pawn in the healing game to Creator. We shift Our knowing and awareness from victim to healer. We begin the awakening. And we see our gifts unfold and grow. I am now conscious of the energetic footprint I leave everywhere. As We “power up”, We are also more deeply affecting and effecting those within our energies. Discerning appropriate actions and responses to actions can dramatically alter every dynamics We touch. When I am struggling with an issue, I ask Source what the best action is for My highest good and the Highest good of All. I will set the issue aside, practicing my faith in the divine process. Within a few days, during some reflective time, an answer will come to me. It is always gentle and compassionate and at times startlingly genius! Lol
Theses tools are suggestions. These are things I have found, modified or received intuitively. These are simply guidelines. Each of Us has the wisdom within to find all the answers to better living and better health. And We are growing in compassion for ourselves and our fellow humans. As we continue to build strong foundations, we will become stronger: channels, healers, and transmuters for the Empathic Consciousness. This is the Consciousness that will propel the mass consciousness to the next level! How exciting is that?

God Bless You All Brothers and Sisters.  Next will be thoughts on the signs and types of connections both useful and limiting that occur and how to identify, break or maximize these connections.

Love and Light,

Leslie

Grounding becomes paramount as we whet our feet in the new energies bombarding Our planet.  Grounding provides the platform for stable growth and integration.  When We are feeling unprepared and scattered in Our 3D realities, We have left the moment and lost our Grounding.  We are focusing on the past, which is over and gone.  Or We are focusing on the future, which is without form.  A side note here.  Whether One is Anxious or excited, they are expressing the same energetic signature.  The difference is not in the energetics, but the perceptional twist the observer of the experience, (ego) has used to “define” the energetics.  (More on this to come later.)

WHAT IS GROUNDING?

v. ground·ed, ground·ing, grounds
v.tr.
1. To place on or cause to touch the ground.
2. To provide a basis for (a theory, for example); justify.
3. To supply with basic information; instruct in fundamentals.
4.
a. To prevent (an aircraft or a pilot) from flying.
b. Informal To restrict (someone) especially to a certain place as a punishment.
5. Electricity To connect (an electric circuit) to a ground.

I picture Grounding as treelike.  The roots must be deep and strong to support my highest growth.  If I don’t dig deep, I can’t reach high.  Shallow roots don’t generally make tall trees. Grounding also occurs on many levels.  I was amazed and shocked when I discovered my roots were pink and glittery and iridescent on the highest level.  Hmmm.  I’ve included several techniques fast and effective for both physical and emotional centering.  These techniques work longterm.  And some are perfect for “crunch” times when anxiety is high.

TECHNIQUES FOR GROUNDING (NON-PHYSICAL)

Each of Us has the innate ability to ground Ourselves. I stumbled upon my Grounding technique, while in Peru in 2013.  *Grin..  (Did U get that one?)  I did not know what was happening at the time.  As I participated in a ceremony at the StarGate in Southern Peru, vibration began to build from my knees down and became very painful.  The Shaman We were working with came up behind me and blew into an instrument.  It was a deep reedy tone. The energies zipped out of my legs and into Gaia. I filed it away in my (metaphysical), “to be explained” file.

I visited Machu Piccu in 2013 and again in 2014.  On the second visit, We started as We had in 2013, by meditating on the Tier of Initiation.  The Their is the third and overlooks the entire valley.  It was a beautiful day.  I had been sitting quietly.  And I began to feel light-headed.  I stood and walked to the edge of the Tier admiring the beauty of the familiar peaks.  I lifted my face to the sky, feeling the intense sun at altitude. The light headedness accelerated.  The vibration began again.  But, this time my entire lower half was abuzz.  I saw and felt a huge tree trunk shoot from my right leg and deeply into Gaia.  Then I watched my left leg as the same vision and sensation presented.  My Thought, “OMG, I just rooted at Machu Piccu!  Why?!”

I Am just beginning to truly understand the significance of these events.  I have discovered that with each energetic change I manifest, I grow Gaia.  Then Gaia Grows me.  I simply focus on my feet and my core, then I see and feel the energies running from my crown through me to Gaia.  (I will write more about intentionally activating the pineal gland later).  Learning to ground Ourselves and then to expand our roots aides the entire Empathic Consciousness.  Every Step each of Us takes, betters Us and the Whole.  Empaths are awaking in amazing numbers.  With practice, You will be able to experience fully, the rebound of healing and loving Energy from Gaia.  You can do this for yourselves, centering and envisioning this tree trunk process.  I have guided others and actually done this technique for them via PMs.  If U have questions or desire help, contact me.

Remember, You can “all ways” Ask Source for grounding.  Then be observant.  Your diet and habits are likely to change.  As We release Our resistance to Change, these little steps bring Us everything We need to grow and heal during these exciting times.

TECHNIQUES FOR GROUNDING (PHYSICAL)

Let’s talk about physical ways to ground Ourselves quickly and powerfully when in crisis.  Many of Us are experiencing Dark Nights of the Soul.  This leaves Us drained, feeling unworthy and struggling to keep up with Our growing awareness.  Grounding is the quickest avenue to navigating these waves of new energies.

What we Consume can ground Us.  Heavier foods, I’m not nixing or condoning meat or any other dietary choices.  Source will guide you.  Regardless of dietary preferences,  You can eat organic as much as possible, avoid GMO’s, and drink “good” water (Toxin and fluoride free).  I Am currently using Diatomaceous earth, actually eating ancient fossilized Earth.  I Am always in hardcore need of help in grounding.  Lol.  Research all options and see what resonates with You.

Breathing deeply when emotional or stressed is effective.  I found my ego will fight sometimes to stay in the drama. Be kind to Yourself.  Many times when these feeling come, I am overwhelmed.  If able, find a quiet, darker place to settle yourself.  Talk to your discomfort.  Reassure yourself that your are safe.  Breathing works even when One is not in crisis.  Just taking 10 minutes a day to be still, in silence and breathe with help integrate the new energies.

Seeking distractions within your environment can be helpful in getting back into the moment.  Such as, looking for repeating numbers when struggling with a difficult situation or self topic.  The Angel numbers,  are a great resource for receiving guidance when feeling off balance or disconnected.  I have learned that birds give me guidance.  I think a lot while driving, their activity gives me insights into my process.  We are all One.  I asked them (the birds) to guide me.  And they showed me how to “read them.” Or look for other signs in your environment.  All of these will bring you out of old thought patterns and guide you back into the moment.

Carry petrified wood or other rocks or crystals that feel secure for U.  There are many sources for grounding stones like Red Jasper.  A loose guideline is the color of the rock can help with issues in the like colored Chakra.  I have always picked rocks intuitively.  Hold them while still and feel them in your left hand.  This can tell you a lot about the stone. Stone have consciousness too.

It has taken awhile since my return from India, to get back into the groove.  The next Blog will be on Protection.  We will not always need it.  But, for the expanding Empath some protection is a good idea until We are each well versed in our new Gifts.

Much Love Brothers and Sisters
