Key Takeaways:
Protect ya neck; set layered protections and act like you have some sense
Last month brought us a message of flow and transformation. Many things in and around us were made new. Like many of Atabey’s children, we are in the season where we are blooming more effectively and beginning to bear fruit. Just as flowering plants get staked, vegetable patches get netted, fruiting trees get prunes, and begin to drop excess fruit for efficiency, it is time for us to layer our most integral means of balance and support for our protection.
Protection is a whole system affair and layering is essential. Protect your connection to your Essence Self, your Ancestors, and your faith. Protect your wellness and your standing in your family and all your intimate relationships. Protect your work-life balance and financial stability. Protect the neighborhood and community you wake up in and come home to every night. Protect the ways you move through the world. Protect your peace of mind, your physical wellness, your emotional health, and your energy bodies. Protect yourself routinely, preemptively, and in response to threats of destabilization.
In case you’re feeling some analysis paralysis, here are some examples of what this might look like in PRACTICE (aka some practical magicks):
Protecting your mind means caretaking your mental health and wellness.
Improve your morning and bedtime routines so you get enough sleep
Clean up your social media accounts (delete, block, unfriend, unfollow, remove followers) to limit exposure to people or topics that distract or unsettle you
Give yourself screen-time limits
Journal (more)
Balance your diet with “brain foods” (fish, avocado, blueberries, nuts, seeds, green tea, eggs, lamb)
Go outside and engage the elements
Take supplements that are good for brain function (B vitamins, Folic Acid, Omega 3s, Ginko Biloba, Ginseng)
See health professionals (holistic AND medical) for comprehensive care when able
Protecting your body requires acting in alignment to optimal physical function and wellness.
Exercise in a way that boosts endorphins, increases your stamina, and supports your physical strength
Stretch regularly to keep your joints loose
Book massages to loosen your muscles
Remain hydrated to keep your systems flowing and joints lubricated
Reduce inflammation in your body (eat less gluten, dairy; drink more water and eat more pre and probiotics foods)
Eat the rainbow and as organic as possible for optimal balance
Meditate and practice breathwork; proper oxygenation is as important as proper hydration
Align your personal hygiene practices to your lifestyle and the season
Hygiene for yourself and your space. Pay attention to when and how this shifts as this is often a sign of compounding anxiety and depression
Become aware of how and under what circumstances it is necessary to protect yourself and arm yourself with the skills and tools to do so effectively, train if necessary
See health professionals (holistic AND medical) for comprehensive care when able
Spiritual and energetic protection looks like all of the above AND like
Routine return to sender work both for those who are detrimental and for whom bring beautiful things
Forgiving yourself and others when necessary
Apologizing when necessary
Shadow integration practices like recognizing ways you can grow, heal, re/unlearn and acting accordingly
Divesting from spaces, agreements, relationships, behaviors, etc. that no longer align with who you are or are becoming
Spiritual baths and cleansings of your body, space, tools
(garlic (peel), black walnut, hyssop, black/sea salt, red string, rosemary are some great partners for this work)
Practice forms of divination to keep your awareness sharp
Ground through and connect with all the elements, especially to recover from hypervigilence
Pray/commune with your spiritual court regularly
Petition for your needs to be met without censorship and the discernment to know what things assist and hinder with this happening
Set protections around your space, loved ones, and Self
Craft regularly against predators, scammers, opps, and wishy washy leaders
Any baneful or retaliatory work to nip things in the bud
See TRUSTED practitioners for comprehensive care when able (trusted by your spiritual court, PRAY ON IT)
Tools I recommend for these purposes
Joy Alignment Oil or Spiritual Sealant
