Crystal Clearing and Protection for Empaths

Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but it can change form. Knowing this fact, your personal energy can be affected via entrainment. If you are an empath (someone who is sensitive to energy), ask yourself these questions – Have you ever been around someone with peppy, bouncy energy and it rubbed off on you to feel happy? Or have you ever been around someone who was snappy and cranky and it dampened your overall mood?

Everything in this world carries an energetic vibration. There are levels of energy surrounding the human body that cannot be seen easily with the human eye (unless of course the energetically sensitive who can see auras and such). A person’s aura extends a few feet beyond their body and can affect others or be affected by others with a stronger energetic field (whether good or bad).

Being an empath, (someone who can pick up on other people’s energies easily), simple things like riding in a plane full of people, being in a public crowded place or in a room with others can be daunting. But there are ways to strengthen and protect your personal energy so that you can lessen the effect of being affected by outside energies.

As an empath myself, here are a few things I personally like to do with crystals to clear and protect my energies:

1. Cutting Energetic Cords
   

   As I mentioned earlier, other people’s energetic influence can directly impact your personal energy. In the energy healing and psychic world, there is this thing called “energetic cords” that connect you to another, or where others can latch onto you if they are “thinking” about you. It’s good energetic practice to release or cut these cords so that you claim and safeguard your own personal energies. Some say that if you’re feeling drained by another or if you can’t stop thinking about someone whom you may have gotten into an argument with or who is mentally bothering you, then you have an energetic cord attachment with that person.

   If you are an empath, consider this daily step a form of energetic hygiene to keep your energies balanced. Once you cut the energetic cords that are connected to your aura, you will feel more at ease and less energetically drained. There are two crystals I love to work with to cut or release the attachment energetic cords:

   

   1 – Selenite

   When I first started getting into energy healing, I would use a selenite rod to balance and cleanse my aura. You simply sweep a selenite rod or wand (polished or rough – doesn’t matter) above your head, around your body and under your feet. Also visually see etheric energy cords being released from you and your aura shining with a white glow. Mental intention is an important step in energy clearing as the mind is a powerful manifestor.

   

   2 – Kyanite

   My favorite cord cutting crystal right now is using blue or black kyanite. After being around too many people or energy vampire type people, I love using kyanite to clear my energy. I can really feel a sense of release and calming after using this crystal to cut cords. It’s kind of like in the movie, The Matrix, when they unplug the cord from the character, Neo, that’s attached to the back of his head. You hold the kyanite in your dominant writing hand and sweep it around the space around your  body. Basically the same method as using selenite.

   For both types of crystals, envision the crystal snapping energetic cords attached to your body. They say a prominent area for psychic attachment is under the left side rib, so remember to sweep over that area as well. (*Remember to clear your crystal before and after doing a cord cutting.

2. Wear a Crystal Energy Shield

   There are crystals that are considered “barrier” crystals or protection crystals that you can carry in a pouch or wear as jewelry to create a protection shield around you. I also wrote about this in a previous blog here about crystals for protection.

   I’ve also been experimenting with wearing a crystal energy shield known as the “Metatronic Shield” that was channeled to James Tyberron from Archangel Metatron and noted on this site: www.earth-keeper.com

   

   This crystal shield involves wearing the following that creates an energetic force field around your body:
   
   1) A Lapis Lazuli Pendant
   2) A single refractive crystal (Diamond, Garnet or Spinel) solitaire ring (2 carats or more) on the left hand.
   3) A double refractive transparent crystal (4 carats or more recommended) on the right hand. Ideas include (amethyst, citrine, sapphire, topaz, peridot, iolite, tourmaline, prehnite etc.)
   4) Metal bracelets on each wrist made of noble metals like gold, silver, copper or platinum.

   Wearing this Metatronic Shield will help strengthen your auric field and deflect any unwanted energies from affecting your own. From the Earth Keeper website, it states not to wear beryl (emerald, morganite, alexandrite, aquamarine) and corundum (ruby & sapphire) at the same time – so perhaps choose only one of these to wear as a ring on the right hand. (*I’m not sure the reasoning behind this, but if you know the answer why, please share in a comment below).

   *Also for your rings, make sure the ring has an open back so that light penetrates through the ring into your skin. If you’re looking for a ring to wear for the Metatronic Shield, check out some of the crystal ring selections I have in the shop!

If you’re currently using the Metatronic Shield technique or really feel a difference with another technique or specific crystals, please share in a comment below or send a message or post on the Crystal Rock Star Facebook page!

I’m curious to know how any of the techniques are working for all the crystal rockers out there! We can all learn from each other, and in this day and age, it’s important to share the knowledge of healing to raise the vibration of the planet and increase our health!

Until next time, much love and keep shining!
