First of all please rule out any form of illness or health issues and visit your doctor if you are concerned.

The most important aspect of psychic protection is belief, intent and prayer.  You MUST believe that the protection will work, otherwise it is a futile exercise. 

Jade has worked with paranormal teams and has attended many spiritual circles, where the spirit have followed her home, due to her heightened abilities and have caused chaos in her home, simply for attention.  She has many remarkable stories that she will share with us all over the future months.

Before you attempt any type of psychic awareness techniques, tools or meditations you MUST be protected and opened correctly.  Failure to do this will result in many negative issues surrounding you.

The negative aspects with spiritual development are rarely mentioned, however if you ever feel any of these effects then you must stop what you are doing immediately and cleanse your area, self and home.  If this is not enough then you must seek assistance form a paranormal group or priest. 

We do not intend to frighten you in any way, but make you aware of the issues that may happen on occassion. 

Jade always comments that when a child and placed in a dangerous situation, she has physically been stopped from crossing a road, entering a building or other situation.  Jade firmly believes that despite intently recognising our guides, we are all protected to a certain degree by our guardian angels.  We simply need to listen, be open and receptive to their warnings.  

You must also remember that just because somebody has passed over that they do not become angelic and wholesome, it is quite the opposite.  Their will becomes stronger and their negative behaviour patterns strengthen.  All spirit keep their characteristics, which they had on the Earth plane, as we are all unique souls and are on different levels of ascension.

The most common incident with spirit, is when they move objects and play little tricks on you.  This is not negative behaviour, you simply have to acknowledge their pressence and kindly ask for your items to be returned.  It is as simple as that!

When we close down, we actually do not fully close off, as once you have opened the door to spirit it cannot be fully closed.  Jade grew up with spirit visiting her and comments on how she cannot remember ever making a transition from intently accepting the communicating beings, they simply arrived.  Everything was out of her control and often still is.  No medium can control the actions of another, they can only simply request compliance with the rules given to spirit from the other side.

Like humans we live by rules and regulations and have to obey the law, or we are punished by the court and on occassion imprissioned.  Spirit have laws on the other side too and they have to obey them.  It is quite alright for you to point this out to them if they frighten you in anyway.

You must never shout negatively at spirit, entice them to do anything untoward or keep pestering them to make a noise and reveal themselves.  This can promote issues and make things a lot worse.

All spiritually aware individuals have a brighter aura and easily attract entities.  Like moths to light, they swarm around you and try to get your attention.

If it is a negative contact you may feel the following, please remember this is only a guideline and some issues that Jade has faced, it is also to remind you of how important protection prayers are:

1.  Rappings, stones being thrown against your roof and windows like buckets of gravel being thrown at your home.

2.  Sleep disturbances, Insomnia - every time you go to fall asleep you are jerked and shocked awake, the bed physically being lifted and you form a slight sense of paranoia.

3.  Confusion and a draining of your energy, dizziness, feeling as if you are walking sideways, you may get this when first attempting astral projection.  

If this occurs lay back down onto your bed or sofa for half an hour and allow your soul to settle back inside your physical body.

4.  Sickness, butterflies in your stomach, a fear of dread, you must listen to your feelings and leave the place you are visiting.  If it is your home and you have not just received upsetting news, then you must cleanse urgently.

5.  Hearing negative voices, this is not common and may be a sign of schizophrenia, however in some cases it may be paranormal. 

Jade is clairaudient and has often heard disembodied voices, however she assures us that on nearly all occassions it is your own voice that you hear in your mind, just somebody elses words.  It is normally with poltergeist activity that you hear voices, or when a high ascended being speaks out in a positive way to you, or a very old spirit. 

6.  Bad smells, inner feelings of fear and hair raising on your arms, or you may feel like you have been physically pushed. 

Jade has never experienced physical pushes, she has felt a physical kiss on her cheek, her chain moved on her neck, hair moved and a warm cuddle!  Obviously this is not of a negative nature.

The physical aspects of being scratched and pushed are rare and only happen in extreme cases of hauntings. 

This is not written to scare you, but a guide to show you what can happen.  Jade still works strong today despite the many incidents she has witnessed and endured, as with all mediums, you get used to spirit and their ways, plus when you have complete faith in God and your guides you cannot go wrong. 

Negative energies can come from a range of sources and not just from entities.  You can receive negative thoughtforms sent by people who know you.  Passing people in the street your aura can collect their negative vibes and they can latch on to you.  There are many ways and so you should always keep an open mind and cleanse daily.

It does not matter which kind of method you use to protect yourself, as long as it works for you and makes you feel safe and comfortable.

When you visualise a pure white bubble surrounding your physical and subtle bodies, covered by a blue one, you are immediately closing off all unwanted energies and protecting yourself with divine light. 

This is the simplest form of protection and something you can do through thought and intent.  All visualised thoughts change shape and radiate out into the world like radio waves, this sends signals that you are protected and not wanting communication.

Negative thoughts from angry friends, neighbours or colleagues can be simply sent back when you surround yourself with mirrors reflecting out toward the wrongdoers.  You may also place a small purse sized mirror in the window of your home, this will naturally reflect any negativity sent to you.

METHODS TO CLOSE DOWN AND GROUND

Quite simply it is the opposite to openning yourself up..see the section on How to Open.

Closing down is a simple process that is required after all spiritual/psychic work.  First of all close your chakras:

From head to toe, close each chakra individually, when you reach your root chakra you can leave it open a little or close it fully, which ever is best for you.  

Imagine the coloured flowers closing into a bud and absorbing all of their coloured energy into them.

Then when you have finished, surround yourself with a bright white light, visualise a golden cross over your body and then surround yourself with a blue light.

You can also place a dark cloak over yourself for extra protection.

Then say the following prayers:

Guide/Gatekeeper, please take back all spirits and their conditions back to the Etheric Planes.  Please close the gates and leave me/us with the purest of love, joy and peace in my/our hearts and minds.  Thank you for all of your kind asistance.  Please protect us always, in love and light Amen.

You can also then say the Lords Prayer.  Or any prayer that you like.  

GROUNDING:

You can do this by walking barefoot on even pavements or flags in your garden.  You can tender your gardens, have a shower and cleanse yourself with water, enjoy time with friends, socialise, draw, paint, sculpt, anything that is not spiritual or psychic work.

Meditation:

This is a good way to clear your mind and gain perspective and control of your surroundings.  Clearing yourself by inhaling white light and breathing out grey, until the white light covers every inch of you from the inside out, is a very strong protection technique for healing and grounding also.

You can use any meditation that you are familiar with.

 If you are going through personal stress or a very emotional period, then please refrain from attempting any form of spiritual/psychic work.  You simply will not have the energy or positive mind to protect yourself properly.

If you do ever suffer with a negative entity then remember your faith is the uppermost importance.  YOU MUST close down fully and stop ALL communication, even holding a pack of Tarot cards.

Ceasing to open up and offering a way of communication will gradually move the being away from you, as they will realise they cannot effect you in any way.  Showing fear is the worse thing that you can do, so is shouting and losing control.

Always seek advice or assistance, contact an organisation who can deal with such issues, seek a spiritualist church, a paranormal group or a priest. 

You can also contact us with any questions and we will endeavour to direct you to the correct source who can assist you further or give you some extra tips to solve your problem.

Please always rule out plumbing noises, floor boards creaking and your house cooling down when the radiators have gone off.  It is very easy to blame spirit for something, when half the time it is not them and something that can be explained naturally.

If a spirit wishes to make noise they can tap and wrap very loudly, they can throw objects toward you, yet it will still miss you, they can do many things, but at the end of the day this is few.  It does not amount to the spirits that you will actually help and assist.  Therefore, the process of learning is actually worthwhile.

Please NEVER use a Ouiji Board or dabble in witch craft that you do not understand.  You must always protect yourself even when using tarot cards, ordinary playing cards for divination or angel  cards.

Remember you are loved, you have your spirit family and guides protecting you every day, call on their assistance and you will be alright.

Aiming to work closer with your guides first and getting used to their energies and mannerisms is a much better option, then delving straight into spirit contact.  The reason for this is that spirit can pretend to be somebody they are not. 

Knowing your guides you can count on them to direct you to accepting or closing off to the communicating being.  At the end of the day your spirit guides know best and know you better than anyone, they are your saviours a long with our God Source..
