One of the best pieces of advice I can give a paranormal investigator is to “know yourself.” It sounds simple, but people in this day and age are not always given to self-examination. If you are able to recognize how you typically feel, think and react under normal circumstances, you will be better able to recognize those subtle shifts which may be indications of trouble.
Typically, an entity that seeks to attach itself to a living person is of a low vibrational energy and cannot gain entry to a person who maintains a healthy and positive energy himself. A person is most susceptible to attachment when in a state of physical, mental or spiritual stress. Severe anxiety or exhaustion can leave a person open for attachment as can grief, uncontrolled anger or fear. Poor health, addictions, and emotional instability can also make a person vulnerable. The back of the neck is the most common area of assault, so be especially watchful of any discomfort or stress in this area.
Mystics and spiritual teachers have long believed that the universe is not the physical place we see but instead a matrix of energies vibrating at various levels. Physicists are finally coming around to the same conclusion. Everything in the Universe, animal, vegetable or mineral, has its own energy signature. High energy vibrations attract other high energy vibrations. Low energy vibrations attract other low energy vibrations. Most spirit attacks and attachment are made by earthbound spirits of a low energetic vibration. Therefore the best defense against such a spirit is to maintain your personal energy at a healthy level. The higher you maintain your own energetic vibration, the better protected you are against psychic attack from any source.
Following are some simple methods that can be used by ghost hunters for personal protection. Many of these techniques employ creative visualization. Just as ancient philosophers believed that all energy was essentially mental projection, we have found that visualization is one of the strongest tools we have for creating powerful and effective protection around us.
1. Self-Check
- Before beginning any investigation perform a quick check of yourself
- Check your emotions. Are you calm and cheerful? Or are you angry, anxious or depressed?
- How do you feel physically? Are you feeling strong and healthy? Do you feel energized? Or do you feel like you’re coming down with something? Are your allergies kicking up? Are you’re having problems breathing?
- If you’re not feeling your best, consider staying home. Or at the very least, take extra precautions and continue to do self-checks during the investigation. Be aware of any shifts in your energy or changes in your mood. Ask yourself if this shift has an explainable cause or if it is coming out of no where.
2. Eat Something
This is the quickest and easiest way to raise your energy. Never go into an investigation on an empty stomach.
3. Take Time To Ground & Center Yourself
Grounding is defined as the dispelling of negative or excess energy generated during the day. You should then center yourself in the physical world in order to be balanced emotionally and energetically. There are a number of techniques for this but here’s a very simple and common one.
- Whether you are standing or sitting, make sure that your legs are uncrossed and your feet are flat on the ground. This will allow the energy to flow properly.
- Close your eyes and begin regular deep breathing. This calms the body and stills the mind. Nothing can be achieved with a mind that is in disharmony.
- With every inhale visualize yourself breathing in clear white light. Each breath drives the light through every inch of your body, filling your body with light.
- Visualize the light breaking down all the negativity and toxins in your body. It might look like bits of soot and grit floating in the river of light that’s now flowing through your body.
- As you exhale, visualize all that dirty blackness being flushed down your body, down your legs and out through your feet into the earth beneath you. There it will be recycled into clean positive energy again.
- Keep up this process until it’s all gone. All the negative energy gone from your heart, from your head, from your blood stream, leaving only a clean, shiny, healthy feeling.
- When you are done, stand up and walk around for a while. Make solid contact with the Earth. This will complete the process by centering you firmly in the physical world.
4. Develop And Use Your Own Form Of Personal Protection.
I recommend that each individual develop a personalized method of protection to be used at every investigation. Make it a habit and it will become stronger every time you use it. Some common methods include:
Prayer
Whatever your personal belief is, a simple prayer for protection is always the easiest and most effective defense you have against attack. The more powerful your belief, the stronger the protection.
Creating Shields
This is also achieved by visualization and there are many techniques available but the following is very simple and easy to perform.
- Begin as you did when grounding, with your eyes closed and your feet flat on the ground. Breathe deeply and steadily.
- In your mind’s eye, see a golden light forming above you. See the light form into a sphere of pure gold, as warm and bright as a small sun.
- Visualize a single ray beaming down on you from the sphere. The light of this ray enters into you through the crown of your head and shoots down to fill your entire body with light. Every breath you take is like a bellows, making the light brighter and stronger. Feel your body hum with energy.
- Now see that light begin to expand. With each breath you take see the light pushing through the pores of you skin and out into the air around you until the light not only fills your body, but forms an energy field around your body. A shield of pure light. Keep expanding this shield until it surrounds you with about six inches of light on every side.
- Once the shield feels firmly in place, see the light begin to fade to transparency. Acknowledge in your mind that, although you can no longer see it, the shield remains firmly around you--that although you can see and hear everything around you, nothing can pass through the shield without your permission and that all harm and negativity directed at you will be deflected off the shield and back to the sender.
- When you are done, open your eyes, stand up and walk around for a while. This will ground out any excess energy that has built up inside you. But understand and accept that wherever you go, the shield moves with you.
Open Your Chakras
The Chakra system is a complex structure but, simply put, it consists of seven energy centers in the body located at major branchings of the human nervous system. Each chakra is a spinning wheel of bio-energetic activity emanating from a major nerve ganglia branching forward from the spinal column. Each is a center of activity that receives, assimilates, and expresses life force energy.
The reason so many psychics especially like to focus on chakra work is that, in addition being an excellent method for raising their energetic vibration, it’s also wonderful way of increasing the psychic ability that’s so useful in spirit communication.
To anyone interested in studying the subject, I would recommend any of the works of Anodea Judith. Dr. Judith is a recognized expert in the field of chakra healing.
Use Talismans
The use of talismans has been an effective form of protection since ancient times. Anything from a religious symbol to a piece of quartz crystal can serve as a protection talisman. The most important factor in the use of talismans is the power you yourself put into it.
Religious symbol do little good to persons with no religious faith. Tourmaline is said to be a powerful protection crystal, but dropping a piece in your pocket and forgetting about it probably won’t help much.
If you wish to use a talisman, I would advise you put together a little ritual of your own to charge the item with the task of protecting you from harm. Bless it in the name of your God or fill it with light in the same way described for creating the shield of light. Then your talisman is going to have some potency.
5. Use a Team Method of Protection
This can be complicated by the varied belief systems of the team members. One member may be Christian, another Buddhist, another may have no religious belief. For this reason, instead of a group, all-purpose prayer with little meaning, I would recommend something like the White Light shielding method described earlier. It usually works best if one person takes the lead and walks the others through the procedure. Doing it together also serves to link the team members energetically. This is especially helpful in making the team more aware if an individual member gets into trouble during the investigation.
