Mediums should begin practice by learning basic protection. After mastering grounding, centering and shielding there are other skills that need to be developed. These skills can varying amounts of time, and need to be used more than once a day.
Intermediate skills are a step past psychic protection.
Here are three that need to be developed after mastering the first three.
Discernment
Discernment is key to self presevation, psychically, emotionally, and mentally. Cleansing is also necessary.
A medium needs to be able to differentiate between various types of spirits for self-protection and health. This is discernment. Novices need to engage spirits carefully and wirh discernment. Listen to spirit. Observe it. Listen. Look and take time. If it doesn't feel right the spirit may be beyond beginner skills to handle.
For example, spirits who are harmless won't ask you to harm yourself or suggest (or demand) access to your body or try anything sexual. Protecting your spirit body does mean learning to ward your safe spaces and your own core.
Warding
Warding spaces. A psychic needs to establish safe safes where unwanted and undesirable spirits do not have permission to invade the privacy or space of the medium.
There are a number of ways to ward. Smudge. Announce your home is yours and can only be entered with permission. Use the Lower Banishing Rituals. Set sigils to keep spirits tht do not have your highest good out.
Cleansing.
Cleansing your energy body can be done in a variety of ways . It is suggested you do this whenever you feel it is warranted. There are various ways to cleanse your energy body.
Shield and push any unwanted energy away from your shield. Use the elements to clear the inside and outside of your shields. Vary your techniques. Ask a higher being to help.
Ask a mentor to help.
Pull dark energy out of your body while you are fully inside.
Observe your physical body and remove dark gunk from your own core and mind.
You can shower and wash away negative moods, energies and center your energy back in your core. Then shield.
Use the water as added protection. Use light energy to pervade your body as cleansing and protection, too. I pull in light and pull it into my body depending on the situations for the day.
You should feel the physical changes after cleansing.
You can do this in the Astral planes but you must clear your workspace, first. You don't want unpleasant energies approaching you while you work. Shields help with that. It is a more advanced, intermediate to expert skill.
Experience and attitude help with that. Fear is undesirable when traveling in the Astral.
These are meant to enhance safety and practice for beginner and intermediate mediums.
