Psychic Protection Part Deux- a bit different this time

A little over a year ago I posted a blog on whether or not there is a need for psychic protection.  Before you comment here, plese read all the way through if you would please.

I received some interesting answers then, some a bit harsh even, and some I see aren't even there anymore and have been deleted.

At that point I was struggling with having come into contact with some people who were not resonating with me.  They spoke of psychic attack and psychic battle and although they may have had good intentions of working with the light, seemed a bit too focused on the lack of light for me.  They seemed a bit too focused on fear and not enough on love so I pondered things a great deal, and chose to move on from them as hanging around with them did not feel right in my gut.

I was also running across people who believed they were being psychically attacked who were just giving their said 'attackers' more power by believing in their 'spells' and that they actually could harm them.  I was called into action to guide these people from giving away their power by feeding into the fear of these 'attackers.'  Which is why I shared  with them that there is 'only love or the absence of love' and that what we give our attention to strengthens it, so best not to give our attention to things we do not want to feed.

Now I admit I may have become a bit confused on sorting it all out.  It seems there are a few different situations to be dealt with depending on whether we are talking about physical people or the spirit world, and whether or not we are consciously opening ourselves to channeling it, whether we are empathic, etc.

I have certainly found in recent time that there is a huge need for empathic shielding.  Not because we are feeding or giving any attention to the energies around us that may be carrying a 'lack of love' but because they are carried by the people we are around, the people we are not around, the earth, certain places, and the consciousness of humanity itself.  As empaths, we suck in things we have no idea we are sucking in just by leaving our homes, and sometimes without even doing that!  The internet itself also carries many energies and the shield must be in place before we use it lest we pick up random floating energies or the sensations of fear or lack of love from it.

Up till now, the empathic shield was the only one I instituted.  Beyond that I was living from a place of love and not fear, not being a victim, and chosing to deal with any energies or people that did not feel good in my gut with a "Bless them and move on" mentality. 

This was BEFORE I was given the gift of channeling or I suppose you could even call it a form of mediumship.

When I did my 12 Hawaiian Animal Card readings on Saturday, I went into it with my regular empathic shield and thought everything would be fine since I am not a 'psychic' and the plan was to use the readings as a message from the client's higher self just to get the ball rolling, and then to bring in my spiritual counseling, as that is what I thought I was, a spiritual counselor only.

Well my angels and guides had other plans for me, probably coupled with the presence of spirits in and around the person's house I was doing the readings on the outside deck of.  I was hitting things right on the head for people, getting choked up in my throat when people had throat chakra issues, having parts of my body bother and distract me when I needed to ask the person about that part of their body, noticing signs in nature that would stop by to visit us, etc.

I knew something was different but just thought I was really 'on' that day. :)  When I do the readings/counseling, I have always asked my angels/guides as well as those of the person I am reading (as well as asking the person to call in their angels and guides for help).  Thus far, with usually only one session a day, I hadn't noticed anything unusual after the readings.

Well as my previous blog stated, I was completely 'buzzing' with energy after I got home.  I went through a few things and a few different feelings and tried to pay attention over the next couple of days.  I knew something was different though.  I also all of a sudden had a new clarity with my own guides that I had not had before.  But something was also 'different' in the energy in my house that was in a way that I knew wasn't for my highest good.

With assitance from our wonderful lightsisters and brothers: Jesus Loves You, Velanthas, Rosalie, and a few others, I was able to realize that in opening my aura and energy to other beings, I had somehow most likely picked up a 'hitchhiker.' 

After a few new shields for my new gifts of channeling and mediumship, a higher chakra activation, and much clearing of my space, things have gotten back to normal.  

I even felt that I lost my guides the other day as my connection was not clear anymore and was back to the static I used to get when trying to communicate with them.  However, it turned out that I needed to talk something through with someone and clear that block and then they returned.  

So, I now see that psychic protection is indeed necessary if you will be calling on other's heavenly helpers for messages or assistance.  Apparently working in these realms can get sticky because if there is an open channel around, everyone wants to get in!  

So I stand corrected on my old blog that you do not need psychic protection.  It is true I didn't need psychic protection before when I was not an open channel.

I do now.

So much to learn, so much to sort out.  It truly is an interesting and complicated world.  But one full of wonder and awesomeness.

So grateful.
