Look after your spiritual health
Just as it’s important to keep your physical body in good health, it’s worth keeping your spiritual body in good health too — keeping your energetic field protected, and yourself grounded. Everything on this page is free to use.
Understanding your energy field
We all have an energy body — a subtle yet powerful field that exists both within us and around us. Although it isn’t visible to the naked eye, it vibrates at a high frequency and is constantly interacting with the energies in our environment: people, places, and even situations.
Because your energy field is highly sensitive, it can absorb or be influenced by what’s around it. You may have noticed how simply being near certain people, or entering particular spaces, can instantly shift how you feel — sometimes leaving you drained, unsettled or heavy. That is your energy field responding to external vibrations.
For this reason it’s vital to keep your energy cleansed and protected. A clear, protected field is far less likely to allow lower or disruptive energies to attach or affect you.
Visualisation for spiritual protection
Visualisation is one of the most effective tools for energetic protection. Imagine yourself surrounded by a shield of pure white or golden light, or picture yourself inside a protective bubble of high-vibrational energy. This acts as a filter — allowing only positive, beneficial energy to flow through, while deflecting anything that isn’t aligned with your highest good.
Call in higher support
Help from the higher realms is always available — but you must invite it. Ask for protection from whoever you feel connected to: God, Source, the Universe, your angels, spirit guides, or higher power. The moment you ask, that protection is given — surrounding you with light and holding your energy in safety and balance.
Connecting your energy to the Earth
Spiritual grounding is the practice of consciously connecting your body and energy to the Earth. It brings balance, stability and harmony to both your physical body and your emotions.
When we are ungrounded, our energy becomes scattered and we feel out of alignment.
Common signs of being ungrounded
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Fatigue and low energy
- Difficulty concentrating, or forgetfulness
- Feeling disconnected, or “not in your body”
- Clumsiness or shakiness
- Nausea or light sensitivity
- Nervousness or heightened anxiety
All of these are signs that your energy is out of balance.
Find a quiet place to sit comfortably. Close your eyes and take a few slow, deep breaths in and out, allowing your mind to relax.
Now visualise strong tree roots growing from the soles of your feet, reaching deep down into the heart of Mother Earth. Feel these roots anchoring and attaching, offering you strength, stability and support.
As you breathe out, imagine any excess energy, stress or tension flowing down through those roots into the Earth, where it is absorbed and transformed into grounding, nourishing energy.
A simple nightly practice
To protect your space, calm your energy and support peaceful sleep.
Before you lie down, take a moment to bring yourself into a calm, grounded state. Sit or lie comfortably, close your eyes, then inhale for four… exhale for four… and repeat three times.
With each exhale, imagine releasing any stress, tension, or energy that is not yours.
Visualise a soft golden light forming around your body, like a cocoon of warmth and safety. Let this light expand slowly, surrounding your bed, your room, your home, and your entire energetic field.
Imagine it acting as a shield that only allows love, healing and calm to enter your space.
In your mind or out loud, invite your guides, guardian spirits and gatekeeper to stand watch as you sleep. Ask them to keep your space clear, your energy protected, and your dreams peaceful.
Repeat this once, or three times:
“I am safe. I am protected. My energy is my own. Only light surrounds me as I sleep.”
Or a slightly stronger version:
“My space is shielded. My spirit is guarded. Only the highest vibration may enter my field.”
Crystals — place one on your bedside table, or under your pillow. Black tourmaline blocks negativity and gives psychic protection; amethyst calms the mind; selenite clears stagnant energy and raises vibration; shungite shields from unwanted energetic interference.
Herbs — small pouches near the bed, in a drawer, or under the pillow. Lavender for peaceful dreams and relaxation; mugwort for dream protection and intuitive clarity; rosemary to ward off unwanted energy; chamomile to soothe emotional tension. Burning loose herbs or incense is optional — but never leave it unattended overnight.
Salt is an ancient purifier and boundary-setter. Use a sea salt bowl by your bed or window, a thin salt line at your doorway (vacuumed up after a day or two), or a salt bath before bed to cleanse the field and loosen attachments. Himalayan, Dead Sea or pure sea salt work best.
As you settle into bed, silently repeat:
“I release today. My energy is clear. I sleep in peace, protection and light.”
Teaching children protection
Children learn through imagery and play — so turn protection into a superpower.
The golden bubble game
Ask them to imagine blowing a giant magical bubble around themselves. Let them choose the colour — gold, pink, blue, rainbow. “Your bubble keeps you safe, calm and happy. Only good things can come in.” They can tap the bubble to activate it.
Simple affirmations
Short, catchy and easy to remember. “I am safe. I am protected.” — “My bubble keeps all good things in and all yucky things out.” — “Only kindness can come near me.” — “I am full of light and nothing can dim my shine.” For younger children, repeat them together like a rhyme.
Turn it into a song
Children love songs. To the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle: “Golden, golden light around, keeps me safe and keeps me sound. Only love can come to me, wrapped in light so happily.”
The guardian animal
Ask your child to pick a magical animal — a dragon, unicorn, lion, wolf or owl — to stand by their bed and keep watch, glowing with bright light. Letting them name the animal creates consistency and emotional comfort.

If protection isn’t quite enough
