In today’s fast-paced world, many people are unknowingly affected by negative energy, jealousy, the evil eye and emotional stress. These energies don’t just affect our mood or thoughts — they also impact our spiritual well-being. As a Hindu astrologer, I often come across individuals who are spiritually disturbed, even if everything appears fine on the outside. This is where spiritual protection becomes essential.
Spiritual protection means creating a shield around your mind, body and soul to keep out harmful energies. Just like we take care of our physical health, we must also protect our spiritual energy. A protected aura allows you to stay peaceful, focused and connected to your higher self.
Why Do You Need Spiritual Protection?
You may not realize it, but your energy is constantly being influenced by people, places and planetary forces. If you often feel:
- Tired or drained around certain people
- Irritated or anxious for no clear reason
- Blocked in work or finances despite efforts
- A sudden increase in conflicts at home
- Heavy energy in your surroundings
Then you may be absorbing negative vibrations. Spiritual protection helps remove these blocks, allowing divine blessings to flow into your life smoothly. It also helps maintain emotional balance, strengthens your mental clarity and improves your connection with your inner self and the divine.
Spiritual protection also guards you against psychic attacks or energy vampires — people who unknowingly or knowingly drain your energy. These people may leave you feeling exhausted after conversations or meetings. Protection practices help you stay grounded and unaffected by such interactions.
Powerful Yet Simple Ways to Protect Yourself Spiritually
Our ancient Hindu wisdom offers many tools and remedies to stay protected.
1. Salt, Camphor and Turmeric
These household ingredients are powerful cleansers. Rock salt in water can be used to mop floors to remove negativity. Keeping a bowl of salt in corners of your home also absorbs dense energy. Camphor purifies the air and uplifts your aura, while turmeric increases positivity and divine vibrations. Burning camphor in the evening or after any heated arguments is a great way to cleanse your space.
2. Mantras for Protection
Chanting sacred mantras like the Hanuman Chalisa, Durga Kavach or even “Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya” daily helps in cleansing your energy and creating a divine shield. Mantras generate high-frequency vibrations that purify your aura and block lower energies.
3. Using Elements to Cleanse Aura
Fire (lighting a diya), water (sprinkling Ganga Jal) and sound (conch blowing, bell ringing or chanting Om) help clear low vibrations and strengthen your aura. Doing agnihotra or simply waving incense sticks (dhoop) around your home clears the space energetically.
Astrology-Based Protection: What Your Birth Chart Says
Your Moon sign tells a lot about your emotional and energetic sensitivity. If your Moon is weak or affected by Rahu, Ketu, or Saturn, you may often feel low or confused. Spiritual shielding becomes especially important for such charts.
People with Shani Sade Sati or Rahu-Ketu Dasha often face mental unrest, nightmares or isolation. In such cases, spiritual protection like wearing a yantra, chanting planetary mantras, or offering donations on specific days can help bring relief.
Remedies Based on Planets:
- For Saturn (Shani): Offer mustard oil, chant “Om Sham Shanicharaya Namah,” and avoid hurting others emotionally.
- For Rahu-Ketu: Light a diya under a peepal tree on Saturdays and chant “Om Raam Rahave Namah” and “Om Kem Ketave Namah.”
- For afflicted Moon: Offer white items like milk or rice to the needy and chant “Om Chandraya Namah.”
Tools, Objects and Remedies That Help
- Crystals like Black Tourmaline and Obsidian absorb negative energy. You can carry them in your pocket or keep them at your work desk or home entrance.
- Nazar Battu (नज़र बट्टू) and black threads are traditional Hindu remedies to block evil eye effects. These are often tied to children or placed at the entrance of homes.
- Yantras and Lockets, like the Hanuman Yantra or Durga Beesa Yantra, when energized and worn correctly, protect your aura and bring strength during spiritual attacks.
- Vastu Remedies – Keep your home clean and clutter-free. Place mirrors carefully, avoid placing dustbins near your temple area, and use salt water to mop floors. These small steps make your home a positivity magnet.
Meditation & Chakra Shieldings
Meditation is one of the strongest forms of spiritual protection. Visualize a white or golden light surrounding your body, especially around your heart and navel chakra. This light acts like a protective bubble that keeps negative energies away.
You can also try chakra shielding, where you mentally place divine symbols or lights over your major chakras (energy centers) and imagine them glowing with strength and purity. Even five minutes of such visualization daily can bring a noticeable shift in your energy field.
Guided meditations that involve calling upon your Ishta Devta or divine beings like Hanuman Ji, Durga Maa or Lord Vishnu can bring immediate peace and strength.
Spiritual Hygiene – Like Bathing, But for the Soul
Just like we bathe daily to stay clean, our aura also needs regular cleaning. Spiritual hygiene includes practices like:
- Burning camphor or dhoop
- Chanting mantras
- Avoiding negative company
- Spending time in nature or near water
- Taking salt water baths once a week
These small practices keep your energy balanced and prevent buildup of negativity.
Even decluttering your physical space is a form of spiritual hygiene. A clean, peaceful environment directly affects your energy levels and thought patterns.
Protection for Empaths and Sensitive Souls
If you’re an empath — someone who feels others’ emotions deeply — you must be extra careful. Crowded places, loud noises, or emotionally heavy people can drain you. Protect yourself by grounding (touching the earth or walking barefoot), carrying black crystals, and practicing daily affirmations like:
“I allow only love and light into my space.”
“I am safe, I am protected, I am guided.”
Empaths should also regularly unplug from social media, spend time in silence, and eat high-vibration foods to keep their energy strong.
Foods and Herbs That Boost Spiritual Strength
Spiritual protection is also about what you consume. Eating sattvic food — fresh, vegetarian, and natural — keeps your vibration high. Avoid stale, overly spicy, or non-vegetarian food if you’re trying to raise your spiritual energy.
Herbs That Help:
- Tulsi: Purifies the environment and improves immunity
- Ashwagandha: Reduces stress and stabilizes mood
- Brahmi: Improves mental clarity and focus
- Turmeric: Boosts immunity and protects against negative vibrations
You can drink herbal teas, burn dried Tulsi leaves, or even wear Tulsi beads to stay in a high-frequency state.

Final Thoughts
Spiritual protection is not something only sages or saints need. In today’s energy-sensitive world, everyone needs it. With a little awareness, consistent daily practice, and faith in divine guidance, you can protect your energy, stay calm amidst chaos, and invite true peace into your life.
Whether you use mantras, crystals, Vastu remedies, or food as tools — the goal is to stay connected with your highest self. As a Hindu astrologer, I always remind people that your energy is your true wealth. Protect it, nurture it, and watch your life transform with divine grace.
If you feel stuck, heavy, or spiritually blocked — remember, help is always available. Consult a trusted astrologer or spiritual guide, follow the path of dharma, and keep your inner light shining.
Stay protected, stay blessed.
