How to Create a Protection Amulet

 

Your aura!

 

Your aura is comprised of layers – each one guarding over a specific chakra. Then at the very edge of your auric field is what we call the aura shield. Together these act both as a windshield and as a net that blocks and catches foreign energy before it latches onto your body. 

 

The stronger your aura the more it is able to catch and deflect unaligned foreign energy (while allowing the good stuff to come in). The more permeable or weaker the aura, the more it allows foreign energy to come in and weigh you down. 

 

When you see an aura that needs to be cleared out you tend to see cords attached to the heart chakra layer or the solar plexus layer, there’s gunk on the shield and all through out, and cracks and holes. If we see a bunch of energy stuck in the heart layer – it’s actually a good thing! It means that you aura prevented these cords or heavy energy from latching onto your body and causing significantly more drain. 

 

A heavy aura will literally make the world feel more stuffy, uncomfortable, and like we don’t have room to move and breathe. It’s feels like a scratch you can’t itch. 

 

This is why regular aura clearing is SO important – and aura fortification! 

 

So using smoke cleanses, stone cleanses, aura or Florida water spritzes, or bathing with intention is a huge part of maintaining our overall wellbeing. 

 

The other aspect is to keep the aura fortified – this includes visualizing a golden bubble over your aura, visualizing a protective rose or a shield at the edge of it, setting intention that you are protected and deflecting all unaligned foreign energy – and a way to stabilize that intention is to tether it to a piece of jewelry that you wear when you are out and about in the world. 

 

You do not need to go out and buy a specific necklace for this, you can program pretty much anything to hold a specific intention. Now, that being said, there are certain materials that hold intentional programming a lot better than others. 

 

First and foremost, I recommend looking at what you already own and see what your intuition brings you to. 

 

If you’re reading this and you’re thinking – but I don’t wear jewelry! That’s okay, you will just need to do a bit more aura fortification more frequently. Visualize a shield or a rose at the edge of your aura before going out in public or seeing that exhausting family member. Play around with different techniques until you find the one that fits you.

 

While you should stick to what you naturally like to wear, there are a few things to keep in mind.

 

I feel that necklaces are the best because they rest on your heart chakra. So the protection is naturally tethering into your heart chakra layer, the shield, and is on the midline of your body so it works in a balanced way.

 

These work well but since they don’t rest on a major chakra it’s important to have one on both your left and right side so it can keep that even balance.

 

Programmed earrings will protect your ear chakras and your mental space but don’t tend to work with the aura as a whole – still a great thing to do but it’s good to know the parameters.

 

This is – for the most part – a highly personal experience. Some people whose souls really love water might be attracted to a larimar pendant, others who connect with fire will do well with lava rocks or metal. It’s most important to find what YOU resonate with. 

 

The over all goal is to have a material that is strong enough to hold the intention you set within it, so let’s talk about the different options!

 

The higher quality of metal, the more it can hold and stabilize an intention. Cheap metals will not do the job well. 

 

Silver is freaking fantastic. It is an incredibly grounded, stable energy. The spiritual energy is that of a stable, unmovable warrior – it helps you know who you are, anchor into that truth, and not let yourself be shaken out of it by opposing forces. 

 

My favorite protection pendant BY FAR is a 2,000 year old pure silver coin from Alexander the Great period. Nothin’ gets on my aura when I’m wearing it.

 

Also amazing at holding protective energy. The one thing to note is that it is connected to the energy of true abundance and will encourage it’s wearer to strive to an abundant state, so it often makes insecurities and negative patterns a little louder in an attempt to recognize and clear them.

 

Copper has a very water-like vibe to it. Not only does it protect but it also encourages chi flow and healing in the body. Amazing tool to use, if only it didn’t turn your skin green so much.

 

Honestly, there are a million different stones you can use. Each stone has a little personality to it – the way it’s shaped, where it was created, how it was harvested all play into the energy of what it can do for you. 

 

This is why we don’t want to be overly attached to definitions. Take moss agate – a stone known for soothing animals and nature – might not seem like it can be protective, but if you had a lot of past lives as a nature spirit than it might be the one you’re guided to the most.

 

I’d say the most commonly known protective stones are most lava rocks. Particularly obsidian – which acts as a shield to negative energy especially when placed on the heart chakra. 

 

Remember the most important thing is you LIKE it, feel drawn to it, and that you program it accordingly.

 

It’s not an overly complicated process, and it doesn’t need to be.

 

Release the old stored energy by using smoke, visualizing a white light through it, using Reiki, placing it with a plant for a few days, soaking in salt water (if the material allows), placing it in the sun or the full moon. 

 

Place your hands over it, take a centering breath with your mind focusing on the object. Speak what you want it to do for you – ask it to protect your from negative energy, people’s stress, the world’s stress, entities, etc. Thank it for you help when you’re done. 

 

As the amulet does its job it might fill up with some of the heavy energy it’s guarded you from, so doing monthly or somewhat regular cleanses is a good idea. 

 

That’s it! Simple, easy, and effective.
