Protection Isn’t What You Think: 5 Energies You Didn’t Know You Need to Guard Against

/ Reiki Energy Healing / By

When people hear “spiritual protection,” they immediately picture demons, curses, or some horror movie energy. Let’s get real: most of the time, you don’t need saving from Freddy Krueger — you need saving from everyday crap that drains the life out of you.

Here are 5 things you actually need protection from (and yes, I said it):

1. Your Own Damn Thoughts

Negative self-talk is a beast. You wouldn’t let your worst enemy talk to you the way your mind sometimes does. Protection starts with shutting down that mental chaos and setting intentions that lift, not crush.

2. Workplace Drama

That co-worker who side-eyes you every time you speak? That’s energy, and it clings. Protection isn’t just crystals on your desk — it’s creating spiritual boundaries so their jealousy doesn’t ride home with you.

3. Family Energy Dumps

We love them, but let’s be honest: some family members treat us like their personal therapist. Protection means filtering out what’s theirs so you don’t carry it as yours.

4. Old Cords + Past Relationships

You know that ex who still pops into your dreams years later? That’s an energetic cord. Protection rituals cut those ties so you’re free to move forward without dragging their baggage behind you.

5. The Internet

Scrolling TikTok, IG, or even doom-scrolling the news — all of it leaves a residue. You need protection from that low-vibe junk you pick up online without even noticing.

So… How Do You Protect Yourself?

Here’s the truth: words are spells, energy is sacred, and the intention is the magic. Protection isn’t about fear — it’s about empowerment. It’s about creating a shield that says, “Nothing gets through unless I say so.”

That’s why I use rune rituals, bay leaf magic, and candles — because they’re simple, powerful tools to clear and guard your energy every single day.

👉 Want to start your own protection practice?

  • Light a Protection Candle from my shop.

  • Try a rune ritual (Fehu for strength, Algiz for protection).

  • Write your intention in your 369 Manifestation Journal so the shield stays active.

Because at the end of the day, protection isn’t about running from the dark — it’s about standing so grounded in your own light that nothing can touch you.
