Using energy for self defense

[Courtesyofmind]

Not necessarily in a physical sense, but more so against entities looking to feed off of you. If so, would the same methods be effective against a psychic attack?

A shield is always a good thing to ward off hostiles. A banishment is a bit more effective once they are present.

^shielding, banishment

Grounding can help too. If you're into using objects you could charge them with a particular protective intention. That might go along with banishment. I like burning sage sometimes to cleanse a space. Some people also use sound, like a singing bowl, or you could use some kind of shaker (common in shamanism).

Lots of things you can try

"Feed" the situation energy that creates balance.

Thank you for the reply. I have a family heirloom replica forged roman sword. Would I be able to charge this item with protective energies? Obviously I don't plan on swinging it around at entities haha.. It just has more of a sentimental / protective meaning to me.

Your best bet would be to meditate once a day, but practice feeling and remembering positive emotions throughout your day. Combined with qigong and you'll become much more difficult to shake.
