Psychic Protection (c) Bonnie Moss 2001-2002

Ever wonder why sometimes you feel drained of your energy under certain circumstances such as: being a sounding board for someone, after doing a difficult reading using whatever tool of divination, after conducting a healing session or as innocent as being pushed in a crowd.

Sometimes being aware of your psychic abilities open channels that have been dormant, this also invites all forms of unwanted energies unseen by the human eye. It is easy to get carried away and forget the possible dangers you are exposed to when doing psychic work. However, this possibility should not discourage anyone from developing their psychic abilities.

It is a matter of preparation before and after doing any psychic work.Simple words like “grounding”, reparation and protection can do wonders to protect you.

Why the need for psychic protection when you are doing something good for others with a clear conscience and the best intentions? You know you are not doing any harm, nor trigger a karmic reaction- yet,why ?

The path to psychic development and spirituality opens up a whole new world, you are tapping into the unknown , unknown and different energies and cosmic influence. This process opens up your subtle bodies in a way that you have never done before. You become aware of new energies, open your aura to receive more influences, and this combination spells power and could be unnerving at times.

When you start to recognize these different energies and fully open your chakras, you will probably notice a great change in you. You get that feeling of positivity , exude an aura of confidence, even have that “glow” in your face.This may take sometime to show, it could serve as a measure of your progress.
