4 Psychic Protection Practices for Fall: Shield Your Energy and Restore Balance

As the days shorten and the energy around us begins to shift, many people notice that they feel heavier, more tired, or more vulnerable. Just as the Earth prepares for its season of rest, our own bodies and spirits can absorb stress, negativity, and stagnant energy. That’s why autumn is the perfect time to revisit the art of psychic protection.

Below, I’ll share four simple yet powerful practices to help restore balance, raise your vibration, and shield your energy as the veil between worlds thins.

1. Psychic Shielding: Your Energetic Armor

Psychic shielding is one of the most effective ways to strengthen your aura and protect against negativity. Visualize a radiant white or golden light descending from above, surrounding your body, and expanding outward into a protective bubble. Affirm:

“This light shields me with love and positivity. I am protected from any harm or negativity.”

When I first began developing as a psychic medium, shielding was the practice that kept me grounded and safe, especially during my earliest rescue mediumship work. It’s still my first line of defense whenever I feel the energy around me getting heavy.

2. Salt Baths: Washing Away Negativity

Few things cleanse the body and spirit as powerfully as a salt bath. Adding half a cup of salt to your bath water helps draw out accumulated negative energies. Different salts offer unique benefits:

Epsom salt: relaxes muscles and relieves tension.
Sea salt: purifies the energy field.
Himalayan pink salt: grounds and balances emotions.
Black lava salt: absorbs negativity and reinforces boundaries.

For an extra boost, add a few drops of lavender or cedarwood essential oil to soothe the mind and strengthen protection.

This is one of my weekly rituals, especially after readings. My wife often notices how much lighter I feel after a salt bath, as if I’ve shed the weight of other people’s energy and returned to myself.

3. Crystals for Protection

Crystals carry protective vibrations that can shield you from negative energy:

Black Tourmaline: shields against toxic thoughts and environments.
Black Obsidian: removes dense or harmful energies.
Clear Quartz: amplifies light and positivity.
Smoky Quartz: grounds your energy and clears negativity.

I often keep a piece of black tourmaline near my desk and another at my bedside. Over time, I’ve noticed that these little guardians really do create a calmer, safer space.

4. Smudging Rituals: Clearing Energy with Sacred Smoke

Smudging with sacred herbs like white sage, palo santo, or cedar is an ancient practice for purifying spaces and releasing stagnant energy. Begin at your front door and move clockwise through each room, wafting smoke into corners and closets where heavy energy tends to linger.

As you move, set an intention such as:

“I cleanse this space of all negative energy and fill it with light and peace.”

My wife and I perform this ritual together a few times a year. Each time, the shift in our home is undeniable; our space feels lighter, calmer, and more peaceful.

Final Thoughts

Seasonal changes remind us to care for our inner world as much as our outer one. Psychic protection practices aren’t about fear; they’re about balance, clarity, and living from your highest light. By integrating these rituals into your routine, you’ll feel lighter, calmer, and more connected as you move into the fall season.
