So,

Today I want to talk about cleansing your energy and protecting your energy,

Especially now during an eclipse season and a mercury retrograde,

How important it is to take care of ourselves and protecting our energy,

Especially as if you consider yourself a spiritual person or an empath or a highly sensitive person or a religious person,

Any and all of the above,

Even if you don't consider yourself to be spiritual or connected,

As a human being who has a lot of energy,

I think it's important for everybody to learn how to protect their energy.

There's definitely people or beings out there that can suck away our energy if you notice that you're going outside in public and you're feeling like your stomach is a little hurting or your shoulders are aching or you're getting a headache or a migraine even,

That can be a sign that the collective energy around you is affecting you.

I definitely get headaches after going outside and especially the last week or two,

The last couple weeks,

Has been very energetically intense and whenever I've gone outside,

I've been called to do something that some people call veiling or just placing something on top of your head,

Whether that's a scarf or a bandana or a beanie or just a hat or a pair of headphones,

Just anything to cover the crown and it's another way to just kind of shield off.

With protecting your energy,

Cleansing it is a big part and cleansing your energy can happen at any point in the day or in the evening,

At any time,

As many times as you wish,

As many times as you feel called to and with protecting your energy and with cleansing your energy,

It's all an intuitive thing.

It's whatever feels right for you,

Whatever you feel works for you,

Not every single technique that I'm going to talk about,

Not every single practice that I'm going to share may work for you.

All of them might work for you.

None of them might work for you.

It's all about finding what intuitively you feel.

So what if you feel somebody who's already energetically connected to you,

Somebody that has already gotten under your skin or your heart has latched on.

A practice that I have started to do is an egg cleanse.

For those who are listening to this and are not seeing the visual later on once I upload this talk later,

Using an egg can be a great way to cleanse and release the energy of others who have attached onto you.

Some people use this as a way to remove an evil eye,

As some people call it,

Any ill intent or bad intentioned or if somebody has sent negative energy towards you and you feel like you're draining,

If you're noticing flies around you a lot,

Like flies won't leave you alone,

This may be signs that somebody has sent you some negative or how some people say evil intent and sometimes it is not intentional and people will just send this energy to you without realizing it and sometimes it is intentional.

So what I have done with the egg cleanse,

So you hold the egg,

A raw egg,

There is no need to cook or boil or do anything to it,

You have the raw egg,

Take a few deep breaths to get grounded and set the intention that the egg will rid you of any of the ties or connections or latches of energy and so you visualize this before physically being careful so you don't crack the egg,

Rubbing the egg like everywhere on your body.

I start at the crown and I visualize any and all negative entities,

Energies,

Anything that has not served me,

Anything that is draining me or pulling away,

I go to the back of my neck,

Moving down just through all of my energy systems,

Moving down the arms.

This is not an egg that you keep to eat but once you take this egg,

You move it all through all your energy systems,

Down your back,

Around your sacrum,

Down your root chakra,

Down your legs,

Knees,

Feet if you feel like you need to and once you feel like you have gotten to it,

You fill a glass with water and you crack the egg inside the water and any bubbles or strings and little loops of the egg,

The way that it sets in the water and those are all of the buildups of energy that other people may have sent to you knowing or unknowing and some people in their practice,

They do a send back and they put cayenne pepper,

Chili flakes,

Cinnamon,

All these different things.

If you want to,

If that is something you feel like you need to do,

Definitely look up egg cleanse,

Send back to sender.

With the egg cleanse,

This is one you want to dispose of and as you dispose of the egg that it's in the water,

You can throw it in the trash,

You can throw it down the drain,

Don't drink it,

Don't eat it,

Don't use it to cook,

This is containing whatever negative energy that was attached to your body and whenever I have done this,

I've done this practice just a few times in the last year or so,

Whenever I have done this,

I have felt the weight lift off as soon as I crack the egg,

It's like into the cup.

Yeah,

You can release it back to nature and as you're sending it,

Say thank you,

Thank you,

I don't claim any of this energy and sending it back to the earth and thinking for the protection and thinking for cleansing your energy.

Another way to cleanse your energy is using crystals.

I mean I have the selenite crystal,

I have a few other crystals here with me like an amethyst and this is a labradorite crystal and I use crystals in my own way,

Everybody uses crystals in their own way but I like to set the intention if I need to cleanse my energy and I have a long day ahead of me,

Sometimes I'll bring crystals with me and I set the intention that any negative energy I run into or any tiredness or any lack of motivation is sent towards the crystal and is transmuted and is cleared and takes away anything that doesn't serve me and so using crystals is definitely another great way to protect and cleanse.

If you don't have any crystals,

It's not a big deal.

Crystals are something that I feel come to you when you need them or they find you versus you finding them and it could mean you decide to take a trip to your local crystal store and whatever crystals call for you,

You get.

Some people,

They search for specific crystals that they've looked for in the properties in them but whenever I've gotten crystals,

I kind of just see which ones are calling to me and then I look up the properties afterwards and usually it's in alignment with what I'm trying to figure out.

Before leaving my apartment or house the last couple weeks,

I have been called to protect my energy by veiling or just covering your head when you go out in public.

I shake it,

A bandana.

I set the intention to release any energy that doesn't serve me that is maybe already sitting on the piece of fabric and usually you want to get something that can be folded into a triangle and I do it counterclockwise to release negative energy and then I shake it clockwise and I call in my angels,

I call in my guides and I call in any love and light energy that can come to protect this cloth,

Come protect me while I wear it.

I feel my energy is more protected when I have the entire top laying flat on my head and protecting me.

Another great way that you can cleanse your space is incense,

Using it to clear the space to encounter clockwise,

Feeling,

Seeing all the negative energy released from the space and once I feel like I have done that,

Doing it clockwise to bring in the smoke and to move it and calling in my angels and guides to protect for the highest health and love and protection and safety and you can add whatever affirmations you want to.

That's just another example of what you can do.

There's another energy clearing practice that I might need to stand up for that I actually learned from Intuition Awakening with Janine who is also a teacher here on Insight Timer.

She is lovely if you know Janine but this is actually a swiping practice.

I'm gonna try to stand up for this.

So basically with this practice,

If you're in the middle of a long day or you've just come home and you feel like run down and you don't know what to do,

Take a deep deep inhale inside and on the exhale swiping down just like a and I like to do it three times in each place.

So doing it here at the top,

Doing another one towards your knees like a big inhale swiping down and then you can't see me towards my feet but swiping down,

Releasing all the energy.

You can also just swipe off your arms if you feel like around your shoulders,

Whatever.

If you feel like around your neck you can just swipe and release the energy from your body and physically clearing it by touching your arm or whatever part of your body you feel needs to be released or be protected and cleansed.

So a swiping,

That is like a really physical thing that you can do that doesn't involve crystal,

Doesn't involve anything but your own self.

Even if you're in a space that you can't get up and move,

Even just like a like just releasing your hands,

Doing a shake,

I think shaking and moving your body is a great way to cleanse and release your energy.

Just moving your body to how it feels,

What it feels it needs and just putting on music and shaking,

Starting in your shoulders,

Moving around,

Moving your pelvis from side to side,

Shaking your legs,

Just moving the energy all around.

It's another great practice I feel like maybe one day I'll be able to lead a shaking session here on Inside Timer and kind of cleanse together in that way.

Drinking water can be another way to clear and cleanse and protect your energy.

I like to do this by speaking affirmations into my water and seeing the water as I am drinking the water,

Seeing it go down and seeing the pureness and the crystal in the water to cleanse my body,

To cleanse my being and to reset me to a place that I wasn't.

So saying things to my water like thank you,

I love you,

Thank you for grounding me,

Thank you for bringing me health,

Thank you for nurturing all of my organs and having my body work from hydration,

Thank you for the hydration and for bringing me here and for allowing me to live my life how I want to and just saying affirmations like this into your water and as you drink it,

As you drink the water,

Imagine it as it comes in,

You can see it as a white light,

You can just feel it as a crystal and just see it cleansing and recharging your energy.

Another thing using water,

Taking a shower.

If in the morning or at the end of the day you feel like there is just nothing helping,

Maybe you brought crystals with you the entire day and it's just not working and you know,

Sometimes it's honestly sometimes it's really hard to take a shower and even if it doesn't come from a place of cleaning yourself,

Just to get yourself in the space.

When you're in the shower,

Feeling and seeing the water cleanse any and all energy off of your body,

Just feeling the release of the water,

A bath is also great and seeing the energy that is coming off,

Protecting and shielding your energy and just allowing it to come through and wash off anything from your day or anything from your sleep or from the middle of the day whenever you take the shower,

Just seeing it releasing,

Releasing and shielding and protecting.

There's a few different ways that you can protect and cleanse your energy within a meditation setting and when I say within a meditation setting,

I don't necessarily mean you have to be like super grounded,

Still,

Not doing anything,

Closing your eyes,

Feeling like you're floating,

It can simply just be taking a deep breath and I like to call in Archangel Zadkiel and the violet flame and if you're not familiar with that,

You're still allowed to call him in,

Like you're still allowed to just imagine a violet flame coming in and I imagine this flame from the top of my energy system all the way down to the bottom and like a whirlpool of this energy.

I also will call in Archangel Lavender and Amethyst for the violet flame as well,

They also can help transmute this energy and every single morning and every single night,

I will call in Archangel Michael and I call in for him to shield my energy and to protect my energy and whether or not you believe in the archangels or whether or not you feel like you can work with them,

This is something that you can do anywhere at any time at any moment just thinking,

You can close your eyes,

You don't even have to close your eyes,

You can just be sitting there,

Take a deep breath and just in your head say I call in Archangel Michael,

I call in Archangel Zadkiel and you can repeat it three times,

Some people like to sing Michael,

Michael,

Michael or Zadkiel,

Zadkiel,

Zadkiel and the rule of three,

Some people feel aligned with it,

Some people don't and calling in and just knowing that by calling in to protect your energy and shield your energy,

Archangel Michael has a sword and a shield and Archangel Zadkiel comes in with the violet flame,

Either of the,

I mean there are many,

Many archangels that you can work with but these are just the main two that I felt called to share.

So there is also Archangel Metatron who has a cloak of protection and this cloak,

The energy is like a vibrant like orangey,

Yellowish,

Like reddish orange,

Like yellow fire energy is how I kind of feel it and Archangel Metatron,

You can imagine this cloak of energy shielding you from your head to your toe,

Draping down the sides and just feeling the protection of this energy is something that anybody can do anywhere,

Even if you have to pretend to feel it,

That is enough for it to start working and the more and more you do these practices,

The more and more you may start actually feeling lighter or more protected.

So I also love Archangel Gabriel and Gabriel has a white diamond light and just calling in anyone and anything,

You can always call in if you believe in your angels or guides or ancestors,

You can always call in and ask them to take away any negative energy from you,

Ask them to release it from your being and to instead shield you with pure white light and love and protection and you can see or feel or imagine the light.

I like to imagine it as like a little orb at the top of my head and see it slowly expanding across from me.

If I am walking in my day to day and I feel like I need to protect my energy a bit more,

I like to protect my energy in the morning when I wake up first thing.

If I can remember if I'm not woken up in a hurry or with something else I need to do right away,

If I just wake up,

I like to call in Archangel Michael and all my other guides and angels,

But I'm feeling specifically told to share that I call Archangel Michael and I just see the light at the top of my head and I see it expand across my entire being,

Shielding and protecting me.

And if I'm outside in the middle of the day,

Especially if I'm going to a crowded public area or an area that has a lot of people passing by,

Sometimes I'll just imagine the orb is like expanding around me like I am in this ball of energy,

In this ball of light and I find that that really helps me maybe seeing it like a few feet,

Maybe six feet in front of me,

Above me,

To the sides,

All around me.

I find that this is really helpful for me to feel protected throughout the middle of the day.

There is another practice that I am not certified to teach,

But if you have heard of it,

EFT tapping,

It wakes up all the meridians in your body,

You're tapping in all different places.

There are a lot of teachers here on Insight Timer who do EFT tapping.

I find that that is a really wonderful way for me to feel protected and cleansed if I feel really insecure or frustrated or anxious about something.

My mother is actually a certified EFT tapping and will lead me through some tapping in regards to what it is I'm feeling anxious towards and she's been really helpful within that.

But there are so,

So many different ways that you can protect and cleanse your energy and what I've just shared is just a few things of a pool of millions and millions of different ways that work for so many different people.

We talked about the egg cleanse and using crystals or veiling,

Calling in any archangels,

Swiping,

Drinking water,

Taking a shower,

Shaking your body,

Tapping.

As you start to incorporate practices of clearing and protecting your energy,

You may feel like it causes things to be shaken up and that's okay.

It's something that I think we all go through as everybody is going on spiritual awakening.

Some people say that things have to get shaken up for you to realize what's really going on and for you to understand how to calm back down from it.

As we shake and as we release and all these feelings and emotions come up,

It's okay to deal with them and to allow them to come through and to process them in the moment or setting aside and processing them later.

Whatever works for you,

Knowing that it is okay,

Whatever way you are doing it,

It is okay.

Let me know what you feel with your intuition,

What you feel is working for you,

What you feel is not working for you.

Trust it.

Listen to it because you are the only one who will know how your body and your mind and your spirit will work with these practices.

You are the only one who can say,

Oh my gosh,

I love doing an egg cleanse.

I will do an egg cleanse every day for years and years and years and years.

I don't recommend doing an egg cleanse every single day for years and years.

For me,

I only do the egg cleanse if I really feel like a negative energy has attached to me that I need to separate myself from.

For some people,

It's maybe a weekly practice.

As long as you feel connected to it,

Know that it is okay to do it for as long as you want or for as little as you want,

As long as you feel it's right for you.

For me,

I try to call in Archangel Michael every single day,

Sometimes twice a day,

Three times a day.

I also call in just other light beings.

I feel that the world we live in can be full of so much magic if we allow it to be full of magic.

We can allow our lives to be full of magic and healing and cleansing and protection if we invite that in and if we believe in it.

If we shut ourselves off to it,

It may not work,

But that's only if you shut yourself away from it because what you believe in,

I believe strongly that what we believe in and what we set our minds to is real and will work out for us.

Thank you so,

So much.

And remember that protecting and clearing your energy can be as simple or as intricate as you want it to be.

And know that any way that you do it is right for you.

Whatever you feel you were being told to do,

Listen to it and follow your heart and your mind and your spirit in that.

Thank you so much.

Bye everyone.

Thanks for all these practices El. I use some of them, but am so interested in the others. I hope you can answer a question. When you said swiping, I was wondering if it’s the same thing we do after doing Reiki on someone, to release their energy from us ?
Great talk !! Thank you. 🙏🏼

Liked it very much, great tools sharing. Thank you 🙏🏻🌹
