Psychic Hygiene

Psychic hygiene is the term we give to the act of tending to the unseen energies and ideas that shape our moods, energy states, perceptions, and interactions with others.  It is a regular practice (ideally daily) that involves clearing, balancing, and nourishing our energy fields.

We all understand the need to shower, brush our teeth and wash our hands to keep our bodies healthy, and many are now waking up to the requirement to cultivate rituals and habits that sweep away the residue of emotional clutter, ancestral imprints, digital fallout, and ‘chance encounters’ that cling to our energy fields.

Weaving these practices seamlessly into every aspect of lives is a gradual process, and rewards us with steadier mental states, unshakeable resilience, and perhaps a deeper connection to our own inner wisdom. Without the static of additional external noise, our inner signals become clearer. 

Silence is a key practice that assists us to diagnose that something is needed.  If we can make time to sit still and check in with ourselves we can viscerally let go of any emotional state that we are holding onto and simply notice and breathe it out.

So if I notice I’m hunched and slightly contorted, I can literally relax that body part - usually the shoulders for many of us - and then release the emotion that’s holding the tension. When we acknowledge what we are holding onto and give it a name we can witness what our body is trying to show us and that signals to the body that it can now ‘digest’ the emotion. 

Let's do this now: feel into the body and notice if an emotion like anger is present and then if it is state with your voice the emotion: ‘I am angry’.  Then breathe into the emotion fully - take a huge inhalation into the emotion including arms feet and the whole body with that in breath.  Then breathe it out.  

Repeat as necessary - tune into the emotion, breathe into it, then exhale the emotion out.  This will remove the food that entities love to manipulate us and our situation to produce. Bookending your day with such a practice can considerably reduce a need to seek external cleanses as you are removing the attractiveness of your emotional baggage to entities.

These bookends of quiet observation will bring you into the present moment and if you just focus on a sense (like listening) you will anchor your consciousness to the present moment.  Our senses live in the present movement so are a useful tool to bring our consciousness there. So release the emotion then focus on the present with your sense of sight, smell, hearing, or whichever anchors you in the here and now.

We can also increase our resilience to metaphysical interference with Qigong (are you surprised I brought this up 😉?).  Internal Qi (pronounced ’chee’) accumulation makes our energy thicker and denser which itself provides a force-field like affect which helps us to stay slightly less impenetrable to energy darts, etc.

Qigong practice will also fuel us with more energy so that if there are entities feeding off of us, we might have more available energy for us.  I have emotional release practices for many emotions that you can find in this series: EMOTIONAL MASTERY.

One simple tip that will remove a lot of the energy that attaches to us is to keep a candle lit safely (don’t burn down your house ) in the toilet so when people release - which always has a psychic component to it - the intention for the candle is to burn away those energies, transmuting them into love, light, healing, etc.

For excessive amounts of psychic debris, most of you know about suffumigation, and will recognise it's common name: smudging -  using sage, palo santo, or the like.  However, many don't realise that smudging  is a spiritual ritual, more than it's a physical activity. 

We have to engage with the essence or spirit of the plant for maximum effect, and what spirit wishes to remain in a substance stored in a plastic rapper in a warehouse?

All essences suffer the same issue of becoming dormant due to travel and storage.  We must first awaken the sage or flower essence and 'download' the spirit of the plant into the dried bundle or tincture, otherwise, all we have is the husk or shell which has limited effect. 

So the process of 'downloading' will invariably activate the sage or tincture and if it does not then we have to activate it and give it an intention. This activation is covered in Spirit Divination.

The elements are amazing at assisting our psychic hygiene and water and salt can provide significant assistance with cleansing the being. Periodically soak in a tub of liberally sprinkled rock salt, and apply eucalyptus, tea tree, lavender, rose or mint oils as preferred.

As you sink into the water’s embrace, envision all distorted vibrations being drawn from your field into the purifying bath. Again these essences have to be awakened and activated and given an intention to be effective.

The big unknown secret about technology is that it’s communication protocols use similar frequencies to the entity realms and dark beings so create havens for these beings to nest.

Even if you don’t subscribe to this belief, it’s undeniable to those that have received distant healing; time and space are not barriers to energetic connection. This means that connecting to individuals online, regardless of whether it is via live video or recordings, can create an energetic resonance to the people to whom we are connecting - thus making us susceptible to beings that are possessing them, or at the very least exposing us to their state of psychic hygiene.

This is only recently becoming understood by people that have had the appropriate training and clearings and this knowledge has yet to become mainstream. Even if entity affliction or psychic interference is not part of your belief system, one can appreciate how even on the phone or a video call, or simply watching a movie, and playing video games, you can be affected by someone else’s emotional state.

So it’s not a big perceptual jump to understand that if people can affect us from a distance, we can also be affected by the energies influencing their state, especially metaphysical beings.

Psychic hygiene for IT and the Internet takes on another dimension that includes the emotional landscape of the people we are interacting with in real time and in recorded media. Plus the servers are potentially riddled with entities. Whilst there is also the potential for energetic interference from parasitic energies over the Internet - and with this medium distance and time are irrelevant.

I generally employ rather large crystals to guard my energy whilst on the computer.  It's possible to provide them with direct instructions for your protection.  Also, EMF frequencies can disrupt our energy fields, which makes us more susceptible to psychic interference. 

Employing harmonising devices, holographic stickers and scalar wave generators can keep you in a near Schumann frequency bandwidth so your own energetic system functions within normal healthy ranges. 

We produce a lot of energy and charge with some of our more extreme emotional outbursts and this energy can remain lodged in our energy fields and homes.  This energy turns into thought forms which we give a consciousness to that makes the forms persist for a long time. We can use singing bowls, chimes, rattles, shamanic drums or even our own voice to dislodge thought forms.  Sounding around the perimeter of your space will shake loose stagnant pockets and lift heavy energies, and a gentle vocal hum can entrain our energy into a more harmonious resonance. 

There is a correlation between the food we feed ourselves and our energetic states.  However, what is not often considered is that we feed ourselves with all of our senses.  Everything we ingest will either nourish or poison us.   Keeping good company of friends, films, books and music, etc., will go a long way to supporting our energetic state, and thereby our psychic hygiene, as will movement and exercise.  

However, there are levels of psychic loading that ordinary rituals cannot alleviate and at that level we need to employ the services of a cleanser to assist us to remove the detrimental energies.  

Psychic hygiene is clearly not rocket science and if we understand the potential for toxic loading of the spaces we visit and the situations we find ourselves, we can do a lot to mitigate the interference created by everyday existence.  So now you know. The rest is up to you. 

Blessings.
