Why I Don’t Believe in “Protection” from Your Spirit Guides—And What You Should Do Instead

I can’t count how many times I’ve heard people say, “You need to protect yourself when connecting with spirit guides.” But my experience has taught me otherwise. If you set clear intentions and boundaries from the start, there’s no need for complicated protection rituals. Your spirit guides are here to support you, not harm you. When you approach them with clarity and trust, you create a safe and loving space for communication. Here’s why I don’t believe in elaborate protection rituals and what I do instead to connect confidently with my guides.

1. Set Clear Rules for Who You’re Inviting and Why

Your spirit guides are always eager to connect, but it’s crucial to be specific about whom you’re inviting and for what purpose. By setting these rules of communication from the beginning, you ensure that the connection is aligned with your highest good and free from any unwanted energies.

How to Do It:

• Begin by taking a few deep breaths to center yourself.
• Clearly state your intention, either aloud or in your mind. For example, “I invite only my loving spirit guides who are here for my highest and best good to join me now. I ask for guidance that supports my growth, clarity, and well-being.”
• Be specific about your purpose: “I seek guidance on [specific topic] for my highest good.”

Why It Works:

By setting clear rules for communication, you create a focused and safe connection. Your guides will honor these boundaries, ensuring that the energies you invite are aligned with your purpose and needs.

2. Create a Space of Light with the Help of Your Guides

Once you’ve set the rules for communication, invite your guides to surround you with their light and loving energy. This step is about enhancing the positive environment where you can feel supported and confident in the messages you receive.

How to Do It:

• Close your eyes and take a deep breath.
• Visualize a beautiful, radiant light surrounding you, filled with the loving energy of your guides.
• Ask your guides to strengthen this light, creating a space where only energies that align with your highest good are present.

Why It Works:

By actively involving your guides in creating this space of light, you establish a positive and loving environment. This light not only enhances your connection but also ensures that the energy in your space is conducive to receiving clear and supportive messages.

3. Ground Yourself to Stay Balanced and Present

Grounding is essential in maintaining a balanced connection with your guides. It ensures that you remain present and open to their guidance without feeling scattered or overwhelmed.

How to Do It:

• Sit or stand with your feet flat on the ground.
• Visualize roots extending from your feet deep into the Earth.
• Imagine the Earth’s grounding energy flowing up through these roots, filling you with a sense of stability and calm.

Why It Works:

Grounding helps you stay centered and focused, allowing you to receive and interpret your guides’ messages with clarity and confidence. It ensures that you are fully present during your communication.

4. Trust the Connection: No Need for Worry or Protection

When you set clear boundaries and invite in only those guides who align with your highest good, there is no need for fear or worry. Trust that the rules you set are respected by your guides. They will not allow anything into your space that is not appropriate for you.

How to Do It:

• Affirm your trust in the connection by saying, “I trust that only the guides who serve my highest good are here with me now.”
• Release any worries about whether the “right” guide is speaking. Know that by setting the rules, you have already created a safe and supportive environment.

Why It Works:

Trusting the process allows you to relax and be fully open to the guidance you receive. When you release the need for protection or concern, you strengthen your connection and allow your guides to communicate with you more freely.

5. Express Gratitude to Your Guides for Their Support

Gratitude is a powerful practice that deepens your connection with your guides. By thanking them for their presence and guidance, you create a loving atmosphere that reinforces your bond.

How to Do It:

• At the beginning and end of your session, take a moment to thank your guides.
• Say, “Thank you, my loving guides, for your support and the guidance you provide. I am grateful for your presence.”
• Feel their warmth and love in return, knowing that this exchange strengthens your connection.

Why It Works:

Expressing gratitude raises your vibration and creates an atmosphere of mutual respect and love. It opens the door for even clearer and more supportive communication with your guides.

There is no need for worry or protection when connecting with your spirit guides. By setting the rules of communication, clearly stating your intentions, inviting your guides to surround you with light, and grounding yourself, you create a space where only energies aligned with your highest good can enter. This practice allows you to embrace the guidance you receive with confidence, knowing that your guides are here to support you fully and unconditionally. Trust in this loving connection and enjoy the beautiful journey of communicating with your spirit guides.
