PROTECTING MY SOUL
Have you ever been near someone who exudes a dark energy?
Have you ever suddenly felt a shudder of fear in somebody’s company, but weren’t sure why?
Have you ever suddenly and inexplicably felt sick and queasy in somebody’s company?
Have you ever felt an instant dislike for someone, but didn’t understand the reason why?
If you’ve experienced any of these sudden and inexplicable reactions to the presence of somebody,
then there’s a possibility that your body’s spiritual soul energy centre
is warning you to be careful of that person.
In your normal everyday life, almost half of the souls you come into contact with will have some type of mental illness. Few will cause you harm, but those who may is one of the major reasons that we need to be self-protecting and seek to preserve the integrity of our souls. If you have such an illness yourself, then you too need to protect yourself from further harm and negativity, whilst you’re repairing your own soul.
Who do you love?
What’s the first thing that comes to your mind?
Did you say yourself? Because if that wasn't you, then you should be the first person you think of.
Without loving yourself, you can’t love another. Yes, it’s different from false self-love which is a component of narcissism. Love doesn’t mean staring all day in the mirror.
“We all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinion than our own.”
- Marcus Aureleus, Roman Emperor and Stoic Philosopher.
Without loving yourself the way you should, you will fall under either one of these - a soft people-pleasing kind empath, or an angry abusive revengeful, vindictive narcissist.
Sadly they are the cold hard facts when it comes to either being a victim of not loving one's self enough and putting others first in order to save them - or you fall under the other of being an unhealthy perpetrator of abuse who can't even see the true depth of what you are doing.
Protecting your soul is paramount to every single human experience you will have here on earth. It shapes your everyday life to be either one of joy and good health…..or a life of anxiety stress and sickness.
Let me explain....
When we assume everyone has our best interests at heart, or that they are like us in morals, ethics, values, truth, and integrity, then we are tempting fate and doing our soul a disservice. And just because someone says they are who they are - remember that talk really is cheap.
Usually when an injured soul devoid of self love accuses you of "not being who you say you are" without any evidence to the contrary, then this is what we call "projecting" and what they’re doing is to actually and subconsciously, reveal the truth about themselves. They are what they have accused you of being. You know it, I know it, but they don't.
Let that one go - not your monkeys - not your circus.
So, if you’re an empath, then how do you protect your soul?
Firstly listen to your gut, it’s there for a reason, if something smells off or fishy, then trust that it is.
If you’re not attacking anyone and you’re being attacked, don’t just stand there, grab your armour.
As I've said before in an earlier blog, words are very powerful.
When spoken in connection with the Archangels Michael and Raphael, Gabriel or Uriel, and the divine or any deceased person, then you know who is now working in the other side. Call them in to assist you in abolishing the attacker.
You are more powerful than you know, and with the added energies of your spirit guides and loved ones, you can send all of the unwanted dark energy back to its source.
No, this is not black magick - its white. Remember that black magick is white magick with Karma.
Narcissists do not take responsibility for their actions, if they do, it’s for some kind of personal gain. When someone doesn't take responsibility for their hurtful actions or they keep doing the same abusive attacking accusing behaviour towards you, it starts to eat away at your soul.
So, what can you do to protect your soul?
The most obvious strategy is to walk away; yes, it’s that simple. It may not be easy, but it’s absolutely necessary for your own survival.
If you cannot walk away immediately, and for reasons of financial dependence, like your children, or maybe a parent, then you will need to equip yourself with some tools and armour.
The narcissist WILL deflect and gaslight you when you confront him or her with black and white evidence of their abuse, lies, hurtful actions - whatever it is. And remember that because they were usually shamed and abused in their childhood, then they feel no shame when they abuse you. So it’s up to you to cut the conversation, take a step back and see it for what it is - emotional abuse. They will say “you are being too sensitive” or as in my case “you’re more sensitive than others,” when in fact all we are asking for is respect, kindness and normality.
Narcissists have a huge sense of entitlement, they are fragile and insecure souls. And remember that they’re shameless, so don’t expect them to feel any empathy for you when you’re so obviously hurt by them. They will minimise their bad behaviour and say they don't wish to discuss it anymore.
One of the most difficult things to live through is seeing the wonderful things they do on one hand, but the devastation of their words and actions, threats, control and even bullying on the other.
Perhaps others can't see this side of them and you may even question your own sanity, but that's exactly what the narcissist wants.
This blog is not so much about the narcissist - that's a whole ten blogs worth of conversation, and in fact in the near future I will be doing a video on the subject.
This blog is using the effect that the narcissist has on some of us, in order to show you the importance of protecting your soul.
When you trust your soul to an intimate partner, it should never be entered into lightly.
When you see, hear or feel a red flag take notice, it’s a red flag for a reason.
But why have I enlisted Joan of Arc…the Maid of Orleans….in a blog concerning protecting your soul? Joan, who later became of Saint in the Church, was an ordinary woman, in touch with the Divine. She had a mission in life, and regardless of the voices ranged against her, regardless of the men who said that the French Army would never follow a woman into battle….especially a young woman with no military experience….she listened to the voices in her head - her spirit guides - and rose to become one of the greatest military commanders in the history of the Nation.
So we should not only protect ourselves and our souls from voices which seek to harm us, but if we’re set on a path, and we know in our heart and soul that it’s the right path, then we shouldn’t let anybody dissuade us.
You must stake claim to your words, and make those words powerful. The words you use have the power to protect you energetically and emotionally. Our words have specific energies attached to them. Words resembling ‘love’ or ‘peace’ are great power words. And if we bear in mind that our power words are the opposite of what is happening when somebody is undermining or irritating us, then our power word is ‘CALM’. And when we’re being attack, then our power word will become “INVINCIBLE’.
If the energy that you’re around is dark, then your power word is “LIGHT”
Certain souls will try to throw their negative energy onto you, like a dark cloak, and they may trigger you with things from your past. This is where you’ll need to breathe in your power.
Being loved, and being happy, strengthens your armour, whereas anger weakens it.

Visualising yourself in a power bubble, with a direct channel up into the Heavens and the Divine, will keep you shielded from the dark energies around you. You can even visualise this bubble in different colours….pink for love, blue for healing or red for energy.
You can even call your spirit guides and deceased family members into this bubble for further protection.
Of course, it’s not just people from whom you have to protect your soul. There are many dark forces floating around out there in the universe looking for a suitable being to latch on to and use. When we say that person is possessed by the devil, this is what we mean. And trust me when I tell you that I've seen it.
In my autobiography, Counting Feathers, I share the story of the horrible and traumatic experience I suffered when the devil came to my home. It was not my doing which brought this evil entity into my home and into my baby's room uninvited in the middle of the night. It was my former husband’s rotten behaviour. He’d been misbehaving atrociously and in ways that were hard to fathom or to believe.
What he had done with his abusive and selfish behaviour was to personally invite the devil into our home. The devil wanted to help himself to me and our children. I will never forget it.
So you see, if you play with the devil, someone's going to get burnt; if you dabble in dark energies and you don't know what you’re doing, then you’ll pay a price. Luckily for us all the devil managed to burn was our home and everything we owned, and eventually my husband himself burnt his own fingers.
Understanding that the energy and company you keep will have an enormous effect on your own life. Things will go downhill quickly if you do not choose the beautiful light beings out there, and allow darkness to play you and even burn you.
We all have karmic paths; it’s up to you to learn from the paths you've already taken and choose a bright and sunny one.
You can visualise yourself in a full-length cloak, made from dark blue or black material for your protection, and the hood is to cover your crown chakra. That’s why witches wear cloaks with hoods.
