How Do I Protect Myself From Negative Energy?
You protect yourself from negative energy by keeping your own energy clean, grounded and high — not by living in fear of it. In Bali, protection is part of daily life: holy water, incense and flower offerings keep people and homes in balance. You can do the same with a morning grounding, a clear intention, water cleansing, a harmonious home and time in nature. When heaviness has already settled in, a Jnana Kanda session purifies the field and restores your natural protection.
In Bali, every morning begins with small palm-leaf offerings filled with flowers, a stick of incense and a few drops of holy water. They are placed at the door, at the crossroads, at the family temple. Nobody does this out of fear. It is a daily way of keeping balance — and it is the best lesson I know about protection from negative energy.
First, what is negative energy?
Negative energy is simply dense energy: anger, fear, jealousy, stress, grief that has not moved. It can come from people, places, news, or from our own tired thoughts. The Balinese philosophy of Rwa Bhineda teaches that light and dark always exist together. The aim is not to destroy darkness, but to keep yourself in balance so it has no hold on you.
“Protection is not a wall against darkness. It is keeping your own light steady.”
Six ways to protect yourself
- Start grounded: two minutes with your feet on the floor and slow breathing before you look at your phone.
- Set an intention: “Only what is for my highest good may enter my field.” Words give direction to energy.
- Cleanse with water: a shower, a swim in the sea or simply washing your face with the intention of releasing what isn't yours.
- Use incense and flowers: light incense, place a fresh flower in your space. Smoke and fragrance have been used for purification in Bali for centuries.
- Keep your home in harmony: open windows, light, order, and no arguments left unresolved in the air.
- Spend time in nature: the sea, a garden, a tree. Nature's frequency is naturally protective.
Don't feed fear
Many people become so worried about negative energy that the worry itself becomes the heaviest energy in the room. Fear contracts the field and makes you more permeable. Gratitude, joy and calm expand it. The more you live in your own peace, the less negativity finds a place to land.
The Jnana Kanda way of protection
In the Balinese lineage of Grand Master Mahaguru Mangku Alit Ajna that I carry, protection comes from purification and alignment. First, melukat — water purification — clears what has accumulated. Then we ask permission to be aligned with the laws of nature. Then sacred energy is transmitted. A person who is purified and aligned is naturally protected. That is what I offer in my sessions, and what students receive when learning Jnana Kanda.
Frequently asked questions
Can negative energy really affect me?
Most sensitive people feel it clearly: a heavy atmosphere, a tense person, a draining place. What matters is not to panic but to clear and rebalance regularly.
Does burning incense protect my home?
In Bali, incense is part of every offering. It supports a clear, peaceful atmosphere, especially combined with fresh air, order and a sincere intention.
What if I feel negative energy is stuck on me?
Start with water, earth and rest. If it doesn't lift, a session can purify your field more deeply.
