✨ Greetings, my Fantastical Fairies and radiant Magical Starr-bursts… and of course, a sparkling wink to those delightfully caught up in a wave of Bruklan-itis, you are part of the magic too.
I’m Goddess Bruklan, here once again to sprinkle stardust on your spirit, ignite the glow of your inner flame, and guide you toward crafting the most enchanted, elevated version of your life. Sending ripples of beauty and brilliance out into the cosmos around you.
There is nothing more sacred, more personal, and more vital than your energy. It is the unseen force that animates your body, fuels your dreams, and carries the essence of who you are into the world. Yet in a world full of noise, demands, and unseen currents, your energy is also vulnerable to hijackers. Those people, situations, and environments that drain your light, leaving you feeling depleted, foggy, or unsettled.
Protecting your energy is not selfish. It is sacred self-care. It is sovereignty. It is the recognition that your life force is precious, and not everyone deserves access to it. In this post, we will journey through what it means to shield your energy, recognize the hijackers, and cultivate practices that allow you to remain radiant, balanced, and free.
We’ll explore how to tap into the Universal Source of All, cut cords with the assistance of Archangels Michael and Raphael, and keep a healthy distance from overly narcissistic individuals.
Let’s explore these empowering techniques to regain your energy and boost your well-being.
Understanding Energy Hijackers
Energy hijackers feed on your vitality to fill their own emptiness. Hijackers can appear as:
The Constant Complainer: who thrives on venting but refuses to seek solutions.
The Drama Magnet: who stirs chaos and pulls others into the storm they have created.
The Energy Vampire: who leaves you exhausted after even a short interaction.
The Boundary Breaker: who pushes past your limits without permission.
The Negativity Cloud: who casts doubt, criticism, or pessimism over every spark of joy.
But hijackers aren’t always people. Environments can also drain you. Cluttered spaces, toxic workplaces, or even constant digital noise. Unchecked, these forces chip away at your energy reserves.
Energy hijackers include overly demanding friends, toxic relationships, or even societal pressures. Understanding these energy thieves is the first step in protecting yourself.
By recognizing these individuals, you can take proactive steps to protect your energy.
The Cost of Unprotected Energy
When your energy is unprotected, you may notice:
Exhaustion that doesn’t match your level of activity.
Irritability or anxiety after certain interactions.
Difficulty focusing or creating.
Feeling ungrounded or unlike yourself.
Overgiving at the expense of your well-being.
The truth is that your energy field, also known as your aura, or your subtle body, needs care just as much as your physical body does. Without intentional protection, your spirit can become porous, absorbing what doesn’t belong to you.
Signs You’re Being Energy Hijacked
It’s important to recognize in real time when a hijacking is happening. Clues include:
Your body tenses as someone enters the room.
You feel obligated to give, even when you don’t want to.
You leave conversations feeling empty, heavy, or foggy.
Your mood shifts dramatically without clear reason.
You sense guilt, shame, or pressure creeping in.
Awareness is the first shield. The moment you name it by hearing your higher self say “My energy is being pulled”, you step into the role of conscious protector.
Core Strategies to Protect Your Energy
1. Master the Art of Boundaries
Boundaries are sacred fences around your energy. They are not walls of cruelty, but shields of self-respect. Practice:
Saying “no” without apology.
Limiting time with those who drain you.
Creating clear rules for communication (e.g., no late-night texts, no gossip sessions).
Boundaries are spiritual armor. They affirm: my energy is mine to give, not yours to take.
2. Ground Yourself Daily
Grounding reconnects you to the Earth, strengthening your energetic roots so hijackers can’t pull you off balance. Try:
Walking barefoot on grass or sand.
Visualizing roots extending from your feet into the earth.
Deep breathing with one hand on your belly.
When grounded, you become like an oak tree. Strong, unshakable, and rooted in your own essence.
3. Use Visualization Shields
Your imagination is a powerful protector. Visualize yourself surrounded by:
A golden bubble of light that blocks negativity.
Mirrors facing outward, reflecting harmful energy away.
A cloak of invisibility when you need to move unnoticed.
Energy follows intention. The moment you call in these shields, your field responds.
4. Clear and Cleanse Regularly
Even the strongest shield gathers dust. Regular energetic cleansing is key. Methods include:
Smudging with sage, palo santo, or incense.
Taking salt baths to release what you’ve absorbed.
Sound cleansing with bells, singing bowls, or clapping.
Visualization: imagining a waterfall of light washing over you.
Think of it as spiritual hygiene. It's just as important as brushing your teeth.
5. Discernment in Relationships
Not everyone deserves front-row access to your energy. Protect your inner circle by asking:
Does this person uplift me or drain me?
Do they respect my time, space, and energy?
Do I feel safe being myself around them?
Your energy is currency. Spend it where it multiplies, not where it is stolen.
6. Limit Digital Hijackers
Phones, social media, and endless notifications can fragment your energy. Try:
Scheduling screen-free hours.
Unfollowing accounts that spark negativity and create unnecessary fear.
Being intentional about what content you consume.
Remember: energy vampires exist online, too.
7. Strengthen Your Aura
Your aura is your luminous shield. To strengthen it:
Meditate daily, focusing on radiating light outward.
Move your body to circulate energy.
Nourish yourself with high-vibrational foods and hydration.
Practice laughter, joy, and play.
A strong aura glows so brightly that hijackers can’t penetrate.
8. Anchor in Your Inner Power
Ultimately, energy protection is not about fear, it's about sovereignty. When you know your worth, no one can siphon your light. Affirm to yourself:
“I am the guardian of my energy. I choose where it flows. I stand in my light, unshakable and free.”
This inner authority is the greatest shield of all.
Call on the Universal Source of All
Connecting with the Universal Source of All can be one of the most effective ways to safeguard your energy. This source represents the limitless energy and wisdom available to everyone. Engaging with this universal energy allows you to replenish your reserves and create a protective barrier against negativity.
How to Connect with the Universal Source
Meditation: Spend 10 to 15 minutes in quiet reflection, focusing on your breath. Visualize a bright light surrounding you and connecting you to the Universal Source.
Affirmations: Use positive affirmations, such as “I am a vessel of universal energy” to strengthen your connection.
Nature: Spend at least 15 minutes outdoors each day if possible. Nature serves as a direct channel to the Universal Source and can help recharge your spirit.
By regularly connecting with this source, you can maintain a steady flow of energy, reducing the impact of energy hijackers.
Cut Cords with the Help of Archangels Michael and Raphael
Cutting energetic cords that tie you to energy hijackers is another effective strategy. Archangels Michael and Raphael are powerful allies in this practice.
The Role of Archangels
Archangel Michael: He is known as the protector and can help sever ties with negative influences and provide strength.
Archangel Raphael: Known as the healer, he can assist in restoring your energy and promote emotional healing.
Steps to Cut Cords
Set Your Intention: Clearly state your desire to cut cords with specific people or situations.
Visualize: Imagine Archangel Michael standing with you, using a sword of light to cut the cords binding you to toxic influences.
Invoke Archangel Raphael: After cutting the cords, ask Archangel Raphael to heal any emotional wounds left behind. Picture a green light surrounding you, restoring your energy.
Express Gratitude: Thank both Archangels for their assistance, as gratitude amplifies your intentions.
Engaging in these cord-cutting rituals regularly, preferably at least once a week, can lighten the emotional load that energy hijackers impose.
Avoid Getting Caught Up in Collective Narcissism
Collective narcissism is a growing issue in today's society. It occurs when groups of people share an inflated sense of self-importance, often at the expense of others. Engaging with this collective mindset can leave you feeling drained and frustrated.
Recognizing Collective Narcissism
Social Media: Often social media platforms showcase an unrealistic portrayal of life, which can create feelings of inadequacy and stress.
Group Dynamics: Be aware of gatherings or online spaces where self-importance overshadows meaningful connections.
Strategies to Avoid Collective Narcissism
Limit Exposure: Reduce the time spent on social media that promotes narcissism. Consider unfollowing accounts that leave you feeling depleted.
Cultivate Authentic Connections: Nurture relationships based on mutual respect and understanding, rather than competition.
Practice Mindfulness: Stay focused on your own values and needs. This grounding will help you avoid being swayed by the opinions of others.
By consciously avoiding collective narcissism, you can protect your energy and foster healthier relationships.
Keep Distance from Overly Narcissistic People
Individuals with narcissistic traits can be particularly draining. Their relentless need for attention often comes at the expense of others' energy. Breaking away from these individuals is crucial for maintaining your well-being.
Identifying Narcissistic Traits
Lack of Empathy: Narcissistic individuals often fail to understand or care about the feelings of others.
Constant Need for Attention: They may dominate conversations and require validation at every opportunity.
Strategies to Maintain Distance
Set Boundaries: Clearly define acceptable behaviors and communicate your limits assertively.
Limit Interaction: Whenever possible, reduce the time spent with narcissistic individuals. This might mean reevaluating relationships with certain friends or family members.
Focus on Self-Care: Make time for activities that recharge your energy, like hobbies, exercise, or spending time with supportive individuals.
Creating distance from narcissistic people allows you to cultivate a more positive environment for yourself.
Strengthening Your Protective Shield
When facing energy hijackers, it's vital to create a strong protective shield. This can serve as a reminder of your intention to safeguard your energy.
Creating Your Shield
Visualization: Picture a bright, protective shield surrounding you. Choose a color that resonates with you, such as gold or white.
Affirmation: Repeat the mantra, “Universe, shields up, maximum strength,” to reinforce your intention.
Daily Practice: Incorporate this visualization and affirmation into your daily routine. The more often you practice, the stronger your shield will become.
By consistently using this protective shield, you can effectively guard against energy hijackers.
Final Thoughts: Your Energy is Your Empire
Think of your energy as a kingdom. If you let anyone and anything walk in, chaos reigns. But when you stand as a sovereign being, guarding the gates with wisdom, compassion, and discernment, you create a thriving realm where peace, joy, and creativity flourish.
Protecting your energy is not about hiding from the world. It’s about showing up fully, shining brightly, and giving from a place of fullness rather than depletion. The world doesn’t need your burnout. It needs your brilliance.
So stand tall. Strengthen your shield. And remember that your energy is your birthright, your treasure, and your power. Guard it well, and it will carry you toward everything you dream of becoming.
Safeguarding your energy from hijackers is essential for your emotional and spiritual health. By tapping into the Universal Source, cutting cords with Archangels Michael and Raphael, avoiding collective narcissism, and maintaining distance from narcissistic individuals, you can reclaim your energy and lead a more fulfilling life.
As you navigate this journey of energy protection, trust in your ability to create a nurturing environment. The energy you need is available to you, and with the right tools and mindset, you can shield yourself from energy hijackers. Stay focused, stay empowered, and confidently declare: “Universe, shields up, maximum strength.”
