Even with an incredibly powerful protective energy around you, unpleasant spirit energy is bound to slip through on occasion. My ability to hold off the negative around me depends on how stressed and tired I am at that time.

Being self-aware is important when it comes to fending off the negative; to know when you need to cleanse yourself is incredibly important. Then the most vital of all, after cleansing is done, put the good energy back into you. This can be done by simply doing something for yourself that you love. Get a massage, go for a walk, take a long bath, write a list of your best qualities, start a vision board, get a tattoo… something specifically for your enjoyment.

Something you must remember about spirits in general, it is NOT your responsibility to go around “fixing” every broken soul you come across. There is only so much you can do. You cannot spend your life like Jennifer Love Hewitt in “The Ghost Whisperer”. You have a life, you have a responsibility to your family and to yourself. Always choose the living over the dead.

My first mode of handling the unpleasant is always ignoring them. If they don’t leave you alone, then try the basic protections – such as a protective sphere around you, gemstones, herbs, meditation, etc.

Certain gemstones help to ward off bad juju; my favorites are Howlite, Bloodstone, Black Tourmaline, Lapis lazuli, and Smokey Quartz. The herbs generally used are Sage, Cedar, and Frankincense.

Now, let’s get to the interesting stuff.

If nothing I have tried before works and I come across a spirit energy that is incredibly stubborn and threatening, I have an ‘energy explosion’ that I can emit as a last resort. I use this extremely sparingly because it is draining and can cause me to have flu like symptoms for weeks after as my body recovers.

This energy starts as a little sphere the size of a billiard ball that I flood with all the energy I can muster in my body, while also drawing in the energy of the earth and the universe. It grows to a cantaloupe size in my Sacral Chakra, which is my abdominal area. Glowing brighter and becoming dense. The energy becomes so much that I can feel it filling my body, I hold onto it until I can barely stand to hold the energy any longer. Then I release it in one large burst outward. It reminds me of how stars implode and then burst outward, shooting pieces of burning chemicals in every direction, only in this case it is white hot energy. The energy then envelopes all negativity in a 200 foot radius, eradicating it, which leaves spirits incapable of doing any harm. The spirit energy then must retreat and regain strength, which takes weeks, leaving me time to take precautions for better protection.

Majority of the time, I fall asleep soon after. I will take anywhere from a 4 hour nap to a full nights rest of 8 hours (or more). When I say it wipes me out, that doesn’t really do it justice. I will be incapacitated for hours, but it does the job when it is needed.

I once went to a vacation home with my family, one that we frequented annually since I was a child. I never felt negativity before this occurrence, so I went with an open third eye, hoping to have some down time. I was uncomfortable the first day/night, but not enough to make me take any action, so I brushed it off. The second night I was woken up at 12 a.m. by a large black mass standing at the entryway of my bedroom. I asked it to leave, I put up a protective shield around myself, and I tried to relax. It would not leave and actually became more aggressive as I put up protective energy. I couldn’t turn my eyes away from the black mass I was seeing, so I laid there in utter terror for 3 hours. By 3:30 a.m. I was exhausted and losing my strength to protect myself. The spirit was winning the fight of wills. I knew I was running out of energy and had to do something. I focused every bit of myself, and the little amount of energy I had left, into the flaming sphere growing in my sacral chakra. It grew into the size of a watermelon before I wasn’t able to hold it any longer. I ‘pulled the trigger’ and sent it flying out. The black mass was gone, along with any lingering negative feelings I had regarding the house. Right as the feeling of relief rippled through me, I passed out. Hard.

I woke up with a start 2 hours later. I could still feel the absence of negativity in the surrounding area, but my body was adamant in conveying a message; “Get out of here. Now.” I jumped up, got dressed, packed my things and started loading the car. No one in the house emerged from their bedrooms until about 10 am. At which time they realized very quickly that I had packed up the entire house and was waiting to leave. My family has always trusted my instincts, so seeing me sitting at the dining room table visibly upset, insisting we must leave right away. The family and I were out the door and on the road within 15 mins.

Once we had reached about 10 miles distance from the vacation house I became calm again and was able to tell my family what I experienced. It turns out everyone had been uncomfortable all weekend and the reason they slept in that morning was because “something” finally gave them a sense of calm. I believe it was my energy ball bursting.

We have never gone back to that vacation home and my family sold it several years later.

Always protect yourself, no matter where you go.

Go with light and love.
