4 Shamanic Self-Defense
According to the Quechua people of the High Andes of Ecuador tradition, and many other shamanic traditions, like our Earth which is protected by the energy shield of the atmosphere, the human body consists of two complementary parts: the physical body and the energy or illuminating body (also called Aura or Parana). This illuminated body is described as an egg shaped oval energy field that surrounds our physical body. It forms by the two energy poles, one above our head that sends positive ions and the second below our feet that sends negative ions. They create an energy shield that protects us from the outside environment. It is believed that in this energy field we store our memories, traumas, old spirits, and ancestor’s energies.
The shamans assert that all physical, mental and spiritual health conditions are essentially the direct result of polluted energy penetration that creates an imbalance in our energy bodies. These conditions can occur by meeting harmful spirits, through harmful energy attachments or intrusions sent either intentionally or unintentionally by another person as in witchcraft.
Bad energy can be easily transferred through words, sounds and through our mind intention as in curses, jealousy, envy and by the evil eye. Once that occurs, you can be the transmitter of that bad energy to your family, friends and clients. It could occur due to a trauma, shock, or sudden fright that could cause a soul loss. It could simply occur just by being in or around physical places that contain negative air or wind energy, like a location of a murder, battlefields, war, natural disasters, etc. Our illuminated body can be penetrated, or polluted by our everyday life’s circumstances and outside forces.

Negative energy is referred to as a lower vibration energy that is stagnant, thick, heavy, without vibrant life force and essentially related to evil and even death. Positive energy is described as flowing energy that is fast moving and changing like life itself, and recognized as higher vibration light.
The Shaman’s sole work is to bring back his client to a state of balance and harmony. This is the balance between the Earthly heavy and dark forces and the Heavenly forces of spiritual and light. Opening the body’s energy blocks and cleansing negativity around it will help to lift anxiety, depression, fatigue and emotional trauma—opening pathways for happier relationships, peacefulness, better sleep, higher energy, better concentration and the attainment of abundance.
It is essential that one practice regular energy cleansing ceremonies on oneself, home or office. A lot of healers, therapists and others who work with many clients, after three or four years of practice, are experiencing fatigue and are surprised to see that their clients are declining. This is a result of not protecting and taking care of themselves.
Cleansing and protection are perfect methods not only for teachers and healers from all disciplines such as Reiki, massage therapy, dance, colon therapy, and psychology, but anyone who works with other people, animals, in an office, a retail environment or elsewhere.

A variety of plants, herbs, resins and minerals’ smoke is an excellent energy purifier to be used around your body, home or office. The smoke summons the helping spirits, captures the negative energy particles, removes and transports them up to the heavens to be dispersed. It also purify and disinfect the air from dangerous bactirias. The most popular plants are white sage, sweet grass, lavender, rosemary, valerian root and other aromatic plants or trees like cider, pine, palo santo and copal.
Start the purification from your head and go down to your toes. You can disperse it with your hands or with a feather. You can also scatter those plants and mineral around the house for protection of evil spirit.
Sea salt is a natural detoxifier and absorber of negative energies from your skin and your environment, due to its hygroscopic ability. It is used in almost all healing traditions around the world. Rub your hands and your entire body thoroughly with salt, or take a bath. Place small bowls with sea salt and water (no need to change the sea salt, just replenish water) in the corners of your house, under the bed or in your office. You can also use it without water.
This is excellent for removal of strong emotional problems and spirit attachments. Spread and rub it on the entire body. It has the ability to repel negative energies and is used to create a protection circle around a person, a house, or sacred spaces as a line bad spirits would not cross.
Coal absorbs negative energies, and is also perfect against bad dreams or nightmares. Ground the wood coal, preferably from a ceremonial fire, wrap it in natural fabric and tap it over your body or put it under
.
your pillow.

Take a handful of sea salt and pour it into your bathtub and lay in it for 20 minutes. You can also add a spoon of baking soda. If you feel strong negative energies around you, take a bath with sulfur (put sulfur sticks or powder in water overnight then pour the water into the bath.)
For heavier attachments add six drops of ammonia. Some shamans recommend taking beer baths. If you do not have a bathtub, you can fill a bucket with water. Pour water using the palm of your hand, six times over your left shoulder, six times over your right shoulder and six times over your head. Do it with prayers, pure intention and concentration.
Repeat it on three consecutive days starting on Monday. You can also dip your hands or your feet in a sea salt bucket. Do not soap or shower after the bath.
Spending time in a sweat lodge, steam room or a sauna lets the negative energies on the surface of your protective skin and deeper tissues pour out of the body to remove all toxicity and purify your body, emotions and soul.
(Blowing of sugar cane rum)
Put a little amount of sugar cane rum in your mouth, under your tongue, and blow it forcefully on yourself, on others or around your room in a strong intentional blow. It needs to be sent as a strong but soft mist. It will ionize and rebalance your energy body and surroundings.
Containing thousands of pores in their shell, eggs are excellent to absorb negative energy. Roll the eggs over the entire body, start with the head first, and concentrate on an area you feel needs more attention. You can also suck the energy out in your mouth, and spit it in to either water or a plastic bag. To dispose of the egg, it is recommended to bury it in the ground with a prayer.

Use feathers preferably of a condor, eagle or wild turkey, to remove stagnant negative energies. Start from the crown of your head and move all the way down to your feet. Let the feather guide you to feel energy blockage.
Brush healing stones, preferably, black lava stones, over your body to absorb negative energy and create protection shield. You can also hold a stone in each hand or put them in your pockets. For your home and office, clap the stones around the room(s), especially in the corners where stagnant energy congregate. After using them dip them in sea salt water, or blow sugar cane rum to cleanse them.
It is believed that wax absorbs negative energies. Rub a green candle over your body, start from the crown of the head all the way down.
Light the candle, place it on a safe surface and let it burn all the way down. If you experience spiritual attachment rub a black candle in the same way, turn it upside down, hold it, and let it burn down completely.
For better results do the ceremony for both on three consecutive days.
Amulets are a piece of jewelry or objects made from stones, fruits, coins, and sometimes contain words. They are created for the purpose of protection from harm and evil spirits. It is sometimes blessed and imbued by the power of a shaman. Wear a protective charm, pendent or bracelet on the left hand, the path to your heart or over your heart.

Shamanic Self-Defense 9
Wear a mirror or any reflective metal surface over your heart center to deflect a negative attack back to the aggressor and to disperse into the void.
Plants absorb negative energy and produce negative ions for air purification. Place different large green leaf plants such as Aloe
Vera, Banana, Arrowhead, Evergreen, Dieffenbachia, Geranium, and
Dracaena around the house and on the windowsills.
A very important plant is Rue (Ruta, Ruda). Plant it in the entrance of your home, in front of the windows and on your windowsills. It is believed to shield the house from jealousy and envy of neighbors and passersby.
Tap a small brunch of rue all over your client’s body, if the plant melt, dry or dies it is a sign your is client possess large bad energy. Boil a brunch, add it to your bath or spray or clean your house.
Spend some time in nature. It contains and emits negative ions, which counter the positive ions we are surrounded by in our digital society.
Hug a tree or sit with your back to a tree trunk it will absorb your negative energies. Some people find it helpful to be buried in soil or sand. Stay by a lake, river or ocean. Encase your body with plants and green leaves, as they repel evil spirits and feed on dark energies.
Do not shake hands with people who you believe are carriers of negative energy. With over a million nerve endings and receptors in the palm of the hand, shaking hands acts as an energy transmission between two people and could be contaminating. Sticky sweaty palms indicates emotional disturbance.

10 Shamanic Self-Defense
Sulfur the foully and smelly crystal removes emotional problems, hexes, and attachment and frees one from enemy cords. You can roll them on your body from head to toe, or hold a sulfur stick in both hands. If the sulfur stick breaks, it is a sign of possession. If you hold it in your hands, bring it to your ears and hear cracking and hissing sounds, it is a sign of emotional disturbance caused by entities. You can also soak sulfur for 24 hours in water and add it to your bath. If you do not have sulfur sticks, use sulfur powder in cased in a fabric pouch and tap it on your body.
There are many stones and crystals that have protection energies.
They either absorb or repel negative energies, or transmute good energy, like black obsidian, black tourmaline, black onyx and apache tears. You can wear them around your neck, carry them with you or place them around you in your home or office.
To diagnose if someone is possessed, ask your client to hold a small bone between the two index fingers of their hands. If the bone is stable there is no possession. If the bone starts to rattle and shake uncontrollably, it is a sign that the person is possessed, and you have to proceed immediately with de-possession. If the bone shakes on the left side it indicates a problem or attachment of the feminine energies. If the bone shakes on the right side it indicates a problem or attachment with masculine energies.

Shamanic Self-Defense 11
Light a candle and bring it close to your client’s eyes. Pass the candle from side to side of the face. Ask the client to follow the flame with their eyes. If the eyes are expressionless and lifeless it is a sign of soul loss, possession or attachment.
