The use of crystals for protection has been around for thousands of years. Roman warriors carried haematite in the battle for physical protection.
Before entering battle, crushed haematite was usually rubbed on soldier’s bodies with the idea it made them invincible.
The Ancient Egyptians used stones primarily for protection and health and ancient royal tombs are layered with lapis lazuli for protection in the afterlife.
The energy of crystals can be used to create a protective barrier around you that will keep negative people or energies away.
It is also believed that crystals can help to keep you from absorbing the negative energies of others.
Why Do We Need Protection?
The flow of energy in your body is like the flow of water in a river. If it’s in a constant flow you feel warm and alive.
When energy is flowing well, you will feel energized and healthy. If it becomes stagnant or blocked or is leaking, you will feel weak and tired.
The problem is that most of us don’t protect ourselves from losing our energy. We don’t understand how it works and, therefore, we don’t take the steps necessary to protect ourselves from it leaking.
There are various factors that drain our energy without us being aware of it. It’s important we keep ourselves protected from such unseen damaging sources by using nature’s natural protection shields -”Crystals”.
Types Of Protection We Need
Protection from Psychic Attacks
Not many are familiar with the term psychic attack. If you have been the victim of one without knowing what it is, you know how devastating it can be.
A psychic attack is any negative energy directed towards you. It is a form of harassment, and it can be very destructive. One way to help prevent these attacks is to protect yourself with psychic shielding.
Psychic shielding is a technique for deflecting negative energy and preventing it from affecting you.
Protection crystals like Black Obsidian and Black Tourmaline work by absorbing negative energy and redirecting it back to its source. This means that the person sending the negative energy will receive a portion of it back.
Protection from Energy Leaks
We often hear people say that they are ‘drained’ or ‘exhausted’. But what does this really mean, and how can you protect yourself from these types of feelings?
If you want to feel more energized, happy, and healthy, it’s important to protect your energy from leaking out.
Whether you’re aware of it or not, you’re constantly emitting an energy force, which is detected by people around you. The stronger your force field, the more positive energy you have to offer. Here are some tips to help you make sure your energy isn’t being drained by other people.
Certain crystals like Smokey Quartz and Fluorite create a strong protective energy shield around your aura when they are worn which seals your energy field and prevents it from leaking.
Protection from Energy Vampires
Energy vampires are people who suck the energy from others. They are also the ones who are constantly complaining about their lives and who are always feeling sorry for themselves.
These people don’t have faith in their own capability hence rely on others to make themselves feel good. They constantly demand your attention and are never satisfied.
Bein in the presence of such people continuously drains your energy completely making you gradually lose your zeal for life.
Crystals can help you from getting affected by such people and maintaining your cool and energy level while dealing with these people.
How can crystals provide Protection?
Crystals can be used for protection. They can be placed in your home, car, office, or anywhere you want to set up protective energy. Crystals work by absorbing negative energy and redirecting it back to its source.
This means that the person sending the negative energy will receive a portion of it back.
Crystals have been used for centuries for protection. There are many different crystals that can be used for this purpose. These crystals can be placed in a room, can be worn or carried, or can be used in a ritual to provide protection.
Best Crystals for Protection
Black Tourmaline
If there’s one favorite crystal that could be called the master of protection, it would be black tourmaline.
Black tourmaline is one of the best stones for turning negative energy into positive and raising your vibrations.
If you are susceptible to negative people’s energy from those you deal with regularly, then you know how frustrating and debilitating it can be. Tourmaline can help you deal with such ‘energy vampires’ – those people who seem to leave you feeling drained and depleted.
Wearing black tourmaline can help transmute negative energy into positive, clear your focus and leave you feeling optimistic and ready to get on with life.
Due to its protective properties, it’s common to put a piece of black tourmaline at the front door to shield what comes into our house in terms of people or energy.
Black Obsidian
As a super protective stone and healing crystal, Obsidian works as a wonderful detox stone for your body and mind, ensuring that all chakra blockages are cleansed and charged so you are fully open and aware.
It works with your third eye to deepen intuition and inner wisdom. Black Obsidian is also a powerful grounding stone to balance and protect your physical as well as emotional energy.
It’s a popular crystal for witches, shamans, and in occult rituals that involve the breaking of curses, hexes, spirit attachments, returning of energy to its sender, and so on.
If you are susceptible to evil eyes or negative feelings it’s best to always wear this stone bracelet or pendant to make any bad vibes bounce off you.
Labradorite
Labradorite is the stone to have around when you need protection from negative energy and works wonderfully in protecting your energy from energy vampires.
If you are in need of protection against mental issues such as blockages, anxiety, feat, or negative thoughts, labradorite can help you reconnect with your inner strength, instinct, and psychic ability to overcome any issues.
This stone has been linked with all things magical, intuitive, and mystical and is one of the most powerful crystal for psychic protection.
It creates a powerful shield against psychic attack, fixation, and ill-wishing and protects you from people who are pulling on your energy to fill their own need, lack, or void.
Smokey Quartz
Smoky Quartz protects and balances the root chakra and keeps you in touch with your true and authentic self. When our root chakra is healthy and balanced, there is less chance of negative vibes coming to knock us off our feet.
This is a popular stone in Crystal healing and works by keeping your aura shrouded in a protective light and clears your own energy at the same time.
Smoky Quartz is a powerful energy transmuter and helps transmute negative energy to positive.
It grounds any scattered or chaotic energy and banishes negative energy away from the bearer, protecting the mind and the body from harm.
Fluorite
Fluorite is a powerful purifying and stabilising crystal. It cleanses the aura and repels negative energy. It surrounds your aura with a protective shield in a way that takes you off the radar and bounces off the effects of sorcery, psychic attack, or bad curses.
This multicoloured stone is said to absorb and neutralize negative vibration. Fluorite should be kept in every room of the home for protection. Due to its powerful properties fluorite should be cleansed often.
Fluorite also helps guard against electromagnetic radiation hence it’s beneficial to place it near the TV, Computer, modem and other electronic gadgets at home.

Like many people, I began to search for answers to the deep questions of life, and the meaning of existence.
I sought out answers to “Who am I,” “Why am I here,” and “What was I sent to do?” The answer I found, and continue to find, can be summed up in 2 words: LOVE and LIGHT.
There is love in everything and everyone, and each of us is here to share that love with the world.
I am a spiritual healer and intuitive who has been using my healing gifts to help others.
