How to Protect Your Energy & Strengthen Your Aura in Challenging Environments
Astro-Weather Update:
Uranus (the Awakener) conjuncts Venus (Love/Pleasure) and moves into Gemini (the connector/communicator) and conjuncts Sedna (Metamorphosis) on April 25th.
This spells HUGE collective, worldwide change. Media buzz will amp up as Uranus Trines Pluto in Aquarius Sextile to Neptune. Saturn is moving off his Conjunction to Neptune which will help bring clarity, deepen intention and leadership. With all the planets in Aries you are feeling energized, ready to take action and move forward. The Sun and Ceres are the only grounded celestial players at the moment. The Sun just moved into Taurus and is Square Pluto in Aquarius. This is very HOT and explosive energy for you to manage and navigate.
As energy intensifies even more collectively, it becomes ever more important not only to clear your energy—but crucial for you to strengthen and protect your personal energy field. If you are an Empath and naturally tune/align your energy with others, stabilizing and protecting your auric field is more essential than ever for your health and well-being.
You may have already noticed that certain environments, conversations, or even online interactions leave you feeling drained, scattered, or even completely disconnected from yourself.
The more affected you are by others and your environment the more of a Sensitive or Empath you are and in need of Auric cleansing and stengthening.
Empathic sensitivity, when supported properly, becomes one of your greatest assets/strengths.
In this phase of the Energy Medicine series, we move from clearing your field…
to stabilizing, strengthening, and protecting your energy so you can remain centered no matter what is happening around you.
Emotional & Spiritual Challenges You May Experience
As your awareness significantly grows during this period of time, you may begin to notice just how much energy you are picking up from others.
This can show up as:
- Feeling overwhelmed in crowds or busy environments
- Taking on other people’s emotions without realizing it
- Difficulty staying centered during conflict (that may not even involve you personally)
- Feeling drained after certain interactions
- Wanting to withdraw or isolate to feel safe
- Questioning what energy is yours vs. someone else’s
At a deeper level, this stage is about learning energetic sovereignty and remaining true to yourself.
You are not here to absorb the world. You are here to experience it while remaining anchored in your own energy.
Healthy energetic boundaries allow you to stay open, compassionate, and present—without losing yourself. It's akin to putting on your oxygen mask first before helping others. You can't be of much assistance to others if you're an emotional wreck yourself.
How This Shows Up in the Body, Mind & Emotions
When your energy field is not yet stabilized or protected (leak proof), your system can become overstimulated.
In the body:
- Sudden fatigue in certain environments
- Tightness in the solar plexus or chest
- Feeling “buzzed” or overstimulated
- Difficulty relaxing after being around others
In the mind:
- Confusion or second-guessing yourself
- Difficulty focusing when others are emotional
- Feeling mentally “pulled” in different directions
In the emotions:
- Absorbing stress, fear, or anxiety from others
- Emotional ups and downs that don’t feel like yours
- Feeling responsible for others’ feelings
These are signs your field is open—but leaking energy and needs to be strengthened.
The goal is not to close yourself off., or become avoidant, It is to become stable, resilient, and self-contained in your energy.
Essential Oil Support for Protection & Strengthening
Powerful allies for clearing and strengthening your energy field are Cypress and Frankincense Essential Oil.
Frankincense and Cypress have been used for centuries in spiritual practices to support:
- Energetic cleansing and protection
- Inner strength and spiritual connection
- Calm presence and centered awareness
- Stabilizing and fortifying your energy field
Simple way to use it:
Apply a drop of Cypress or Frankincense (diluted in a carrier oil) over your 8th Chakra just above the center of your chest/heart area, and at your 7th Crown Chakra at the top of your head before entering challenging environments. This helps reinforce your energetic boundaries while keeping you open and aware. You can also make an auric field cleansing spray with either or both of these oils and mist around your body. You can also use PurePlant Essentials Energy Clearing Positivity Pure Blend or Mist for this purpose.
Simple Protection & Strengthening Ritual (3–5 Minutes)
This practice helps you stabilize and strengthen your energy field before engaging with the outside world.
- Sit or stand comfortably.
- Take three slow, deep breaths.
- Imagine your energy field (aura) surrounding your body as a luminous sphere of light. You can infuse your auric field with a healing color that feels strengthening and protecting, ie. gold, emerald green, blue or rose. Whatever feels right for you.
- See this light of your auric field becoming stronger, more defined, and resilient—like a radiant, living field.
- Intend that this field allows in only what supports your highest good and will alert you whenever something is not right for you, so you can move away, or take precautions.
- Place your hands over your heart and affirm:
“My energy is my own.
I am grounded, centered, and protected.
I remain in the truth of who I AM in all environments.”
Feel your auric field as being vibrantly healthy, strong and stable.
Going Deeper: Emotional Boundaries & True Freedom
Strengthening your energy field is not about pushing the world away, or spiritual bypassing—it’s about becoming fully anchored within yourself.
When you are grounded, clear, and energetically strong, you no longer unconsciously absorb others’ emotional patterns.
My book Healing Negative Emotions & Getting Free of the Ego With Essential Oils offers deeper support for releasing emotional patterns that make you more susceptible to external influence.
Stay Strong, Stay Centered
The more you strengthen your energy field, the more you will notice:
- You remain calm in situations that once overwhelmed you
- You can be present with others without absorbing their emotions
- You trust your inner guidance more deeply
- You feel safe being your authentic self
This is true energetic maturity.
Not shutting down.
Not withdrawing.
But standing fully in your own power—no matter what is happening around you.
In my next post of this series:
Now that you’ve learned how to stabilize your own energy and are no longer as susceptible to others’ fear patterns and emotional transmissions, we’ll explore how to heal yourself more deeply—and become a source of healing and restoration for others and the planet: How to Expand Your Energy Healing Power & Support Others
