84 Best Protection Affirmations for Safety and Grounding

Sharing is caring!

Feeling safe and protected is essential since our bodies and nervous systems are wired to keep us alive and safe and move into states of alert when these needs aren’t met.

But in modern society we’re exposed to so many situations that are out of our control that can often provoke these feelings of threat and anxiety, even when there is no “real” danger.

Thankfully, protection affirmations are one of my favourite tools to help communicate safety to our mind-body and return to a state of calm and sense of control.

But not only this, protection affirmations can be a powerful tool to help you form an “energetic shield” in situations where you may be vulnerable to others’ energies or ill intentions.

And they can also be beneficial when working with the Law of Attraction to manifest protection and safety for yourself and your family.

In fact, there are so many ways that protection affirmations can be used.

In this post we’ll be exploring why you should protect your energy, how you can use protection affirmations in your own life, and some of the best protection affirmations to get started with today.

So keep reading to experience the benefits of protection affirmations for yourself!

Why you should protect your energy

In an ideal world, we would have complete control over the situations, the people, and the energies we are exposed to. We would be able to physically protect ourselves and our loved ones from any form of harm.

But unfortunately this isn’t always possible.

Sometimes we have to enter situations and expose ourselves to energies that aren’t exactly ideal.

For example, maybe you love your job but going to work means you have to constantly expose yourself to a certain colleague who is very negative and brings you down.

Or maybe there’s a particular family member who doesn’t value you or respect the boundaries you have set.

In situations like this, where verbal boundaries have been attempted and physical separation can’t always be maintained, protecting your energy is essential.

In other words, energetic boundaries are something you need to protect your own energy from others’ energy. 

But that isn’t the only situation when protecting your energy is important…

Here are some of the key benefits to protecting your energy regularly:

• Being less affected by other’s energy or ill intentions
• Feeling more calm, ease and safety in the nervous system
• Feeling less anxious or fearful in situations that are out of your control
• Feeling more resilient and confident around people
• Being able to set firm boundaries about what energy you let into your field
• Feeling protected and looked after by a higher power or the Universe

What are protection affirmations?

So with the benefits of protecting your energy being clear, what exactly are protection affirmations?

Protection affirmations are affirmative statements that are designed to help you embody the energy of safety and protection.

Through the lens of the Law of Attraction, or trust in a higher power, protection affirmations can be a way to attract this safety and protection into your life by believing it is already so.

But on a less spiritual level, protection affirmations can simply be a way to experience reassurance and lessen anxiety in situations that are challenging or you feel powerless in.

They can be a tool to claim back your power and help you embody the practice of setting energetic boundaries. Which can help you build emotional resilience in challenging situations and relationships through the power of neuroplasticity.

As such, protection affirmations can help you return to calm and ease in environments that are otherwise out of your control. In this way they can be a really powerful tool to have in your arsenal!

How to use protection affirmations in your own life

The beautiful news about using protection affirmations is that, like affirmations in general, they are so easy to incorporate into your life.

Here are some of my favourite ways to use protection affirmations:

• Recite them daily as part of a morning routine
• Say them in the mirror to embody their energy strongly
• Write them in your journal to help you connect to their energy
• Say them in your mind space during challenging situations or when anxiety is high
• Use them before, during and after interacting with challenging or toxic people to keep your energy field protected
• Use them as protection when communicating with the afterlife

The key with your affirmation practice is to really feel into the emotions and sensations that the words convey.

Fully tuning in in this way will help to communicate safety to your nervous system and allow you to become more resilient over time.

It will also help you to embody the energy more clearly when working with the Law of Attraction and manifestation practices.
