When entering altered states of consciousness, whether through meditation, astral projection, trance, or other practices, it’s good practice to protect yourself from any encounters with negative energies or entities. These beings do exist across the veil. Your intention and mindset play a significant role in shaping your experience. By cultivating positivity, love, and protection, you can create a safe and empowering journey into altered states of consciousness.
By taking a few minutes before you go into a trance state to surround yourself with protection, you can enhance your sense of safety and empowerment and eliminate fear when exploring in the astral realms.
Here are 10 ways you can protect yourself during altered states and help to eliminate fear:
1. Set Intentions: Before entering the altered state, set clear intentions for your experience. Focus on positivity, love, and protection. Intentions can act as a guiding force and help create a safe space for your journey.
2. Visualizations: Envision yourself surrounded by a protective shield of light. Visualize a white light completely surrounding you. You are safe inside the light and nothing can cross into your protective light unless you invite them.
3. Spiritual Protection Techniques: Call upon positive, higher energies, like your guides, to surround you and guide you during your journey.
4. Trust Your Intuition: Trust your instincts and intuition. If something feels off or negative, don’t hesitate to end the experience.
5. Practice Self-Care Afterwards: After your experience, practice self-care to ground yourself and integrate the experience like spending time in nature and journaling the details of your experience.
6. Use of Mantras or Affirmations: Repeat empowering mantras or affirmations to yourself before and during the altered state experience. These can reinforce positive beliefs and ward off negative energies.
7. Create a Safe and Comfortable Space: Designate a specific physical space for your practice that feels safe and sacred to you. You can adorn this space with meaningful objects, symbols, or images that evoke feelings of protection and positivity.
8. Use Protective Talismans or Amulets: Carry or wear protective talismans, amulets, or crystals that help to ward off negative energy or entities. Examples include black tourmaline for grounding and protection or a protective symbol.
9. Maintain Physical Health: Prioritize your physical health and well-being, as a strong and balanced physical body can provide a foundation for a resilient and protected energetic state.
10. Practice Detachment: Cultivate a sense of detachment from any negative energies or entities you may encounter. Remember that you are the sovereign of your own consciousness and have the power to choose what you engage with.
