3 Signs Your Spiritual Protection Sucks

Not to be blunt, but there’s a chance your spiritual protection totally sucks.
There are a few big symptoms I see when people don’t have their spiritual protection on lock. Some of these things obviously have mundane explanations, but once all of that’s been ruled out, and if issues keep persisting… it’s a great sign that your protection skills could use a little boost.
1: You’re tired all the time.
So, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and other real-life chronic illnesses that result in a lot of tiredness exist – I even have one of these myself, so I know sometimes the answer is really just science. That being said, for the particular thang I have, there isn’t really a cure or medical treatment, so it’s one of those things I just have to deal with.
And, even though I do have medical reasons for feeling exhausted a lot of the time, I’ve noticed that when I boost up my spiritual protection – shielding, talismans, regular cleansings, regular reinforcement of the energetic protection of my body and home – I feel way less exhausted than I otherwise would. Doing regular spiritual protection elevates my baseline from hella exhausted to low key exhausted, and sometimes I even do have energy to spare to teach and go out for drinks.
If you’re not sure whether you have a medical reason to be tired, hey – go get that checked out! A conversation with your family doctor, therapist, whatever, is always the first step to seeing what’s going on. Mental health conditions like depression and anxiety do tend to relate to tiredness, and if that’s the case for you, a doctor can help. Similarly, it’s good to check in with your GP if you’re always tired, get referred to a specialist, and even check your blood and hormones and all that stuff to see if there’s any physical explanation for you being tired. I’m a witch who believes in science.
If you do find something medical, spiritual protection can still be immensely helpful – as it is for me. And if you don’t think it’s something medical, I’d really recommend thinking about spiritual and energetic protection as your next big step to help yourself feel better, and live a happier and more comfortable life.
Being tired all the time can be a sign that we’re taking on too much energy from others – their projections, tiredness, bad vibes, bad moods, whatever – and allowing it to absorb into our own energy field. When we’re well protected, that nasty stuff stays where it belongs – elsewhere.
2. You feel like nothing ever goes right for you.
Over the years, I’ve had tons of clients come to me, freaking out, wondering if they’ve been cursed – and if so, how can they remove it?
Well, I’ll tell you right now – 99% of the time, people aren’t cursed, they’re just making bad life choices, or have had a string of terrible luck. Sometimes crappy happenings are just random chance, and no one in particular is to blame for it. That’s just life.
That being said, I do believe strings of bad luck and a feeling that everything somehow is hilariously terrible can be a sign that we need to amp up our spiritual protection.
Sometimes, bad energy can accumulate over time, making us a magnet for more bad luck. An occasional evil eye here, someone doing a magical working against us there, and our own dark storm cloud feelings about this or that, can all roll together into some giant ball that can be hard to stop – and that’s where protection comes in.
Usually, if we’re engaged in regular spiritual protection processes, these little spiritual attacks won’t have the chance to grow and create massive misery in our lives – the bad vibes will dissipate and flow away as a result of our fortified protection practices.
But when we don’t have protection, it’s easy for the bad vibes to become a runaway train, ruining everything in sight.
3. You feel alone.
This one is my weakness. Whenever I start to feel alone in the world, I see it as a big flashing red light that my spiritual protection practice needs a refresh and a rejuvenation.
Why? What does feeling alone have to do with spiritual protection?
Well, a huge component of spiritual protection is actually feeling connected to our spirit team – maybe that’s ancient ancestors, guardian spirits, recently passed family members, the Spirit of the Universe, God, goddesses, saints, angels, animal spirits, and whoever else you call on in times of need.
Our spirit team, especially when we’re connected strongly to them, can help give us guidance both in a tense moment, as well as act as a spiritual guardian and protector in normal times.
If you feel alone, take a look at your relationship with your spiritual team – have you been forgetting to pray, slacking on offerings and lighting candles on your altar? Do you forget to check in? Are the statues on your spiritual desk a little dusty? Have you forgotten that your spiritual team is always there for you, ready to step in and protect you, as well as give you guidance?
Returning to and recommitting to these spiritual relationships can be immensely important as a means of amping up our spiritual protection.
