What Is Spiritual Protection?

Spiritual protection refers to conscious practices that safeguard your aura (energy field) from harmful influences, including:

  • Psychic attacks (intentional or unintentional negative energy)
  • Energy vampires (people who drain your vitality)
  • Geopathic stress (harmful earth energies)
  • Attachments (lingering low-vibration entities)

These techniques have been used for millennia across cultures—from Egyptian priests to Tibetan monks—and remain relevant today.
