How to Protect Your Energy: The Dragon’s Way

How to Protect Your Energy (Without Fear or Judgment)

At some point on your healing journey, you may begin to notice that being around certain people leaves you feeling… drained. You might feel foggy, heavy, emotional, or even have a headache after a conversation. And then the self-doubt starts: Is it me? Am I just tired? Was I being too sensitive?

Let me reassure you, it’s not just in your head. You're picking up on energy.

We all carry energy fields that interact constantly. And when someone is struggling, overwhelmed, or unknowingly stuck in patterns of victimhood or control, they can unconsciously draw on your energy. You may have heard the term “energy vampire” used before. While that language can feel a little harsh, it’s often a useful metaphor. It simply describes a dynamic where one person gives more energy than is healthy, and the other unconsciously receives or pulls without restoring or giving back.

But here’s the truth: we’ve all been on both sides. We’ve all had moments of depletion and moments where we’ve taken too much. This isn’t about blame. It’s about awareness and sovereignty.

Signs Your Energy Might Be Getting Drained:

• You feel tired, foggy, irritable, or anxious after certain interactions

• You notice recurring physical symptoms (headaches, fatigue, tension) that align with specific relationships or environments

• You sense guilt or obligation that keeps you entangled in someone else's emotional world

• You feel like you’re doing all the giving, and it’s never enough

Why Energy Boundaries Matter

Boundaries aren’t walls—they’re invitations to come closer, consciously. And energetic boundaries are no different. When we don’t have them, we leak our energy. And when others are struggling, they may unconsciously latch onto that leakage to feel better, even momentarily.

That’s why learning to ground, clear, and protect your field is one of the very first things we do in the Dragon Codes Spiral, the first spiral in the Sophianic Spiral of the Dragon Rose. The dragons are fierce protectors. They teach us that power is not about control, but about clarity. When you’re clear in your energy, you’re untouchable. Not guarded, but sovereign.

A Daily Dragon-Inspired Cord-Cutting Ritual:

1. Find a quiet moment and place both feet on the earth (barefoot if you can).

2. Take a few deep, centering breaths.

3. Visualise a dragon—perhaps one of fire or air—clearing your field with golden light.

4. Say out loud or in your heart:
   “I call back all my energy across time, space, and dimension. I release what is not mine with gratitude and love. I am sovereign, whole, and protected.”

5. Imagine any cords dissolving and the dragons sealing your aura with light.

6. Thank your guides, dragons, and higher self.

You don’t need to do this with fear or drama. This is about tending to your energy with compassion and care, just like brushing your teeth or having a shower.

Other Ways to Support Your Energy Field:

• Spend time in nature, especially near trees or moving water

• Smudge your space with sage, cedar, or mugwort

• Use essential oils like lavender, frankincense, or myrrh

• Keep your environment clear of clutter and visual “noise”

• Work with crystals like black tourmaline, obsidian, or selenite

• Rest when you're tired. Say no when you're called to.

Want to Go Deeper?

In the Dragon Codes Spiral, we explore how to protect, clear, and expand your energy field through the elemental dragons and your energy body. You’ll meet the Earth Dragon for grounding, the Fire Dragon for transmutation, the Air Dragon for mental clarity, and the Water Dragon for emotional sovereignty. These dragons don’t just guard. They teach.

They help you reclaim the parts of yourself you’ve given away, lost, or buried. And they remind you that the most powerful protection doesn’t come from hiding, it comes from standing fully in your light.

If you’re feeling called to explore this, you can join the waitlist for the Shamanic Dragon Priestess Path or reach out for a 1:1 session.
