Keep your energy clear and your heart shielded with this simple protection charm for highly sensitive people.
If an empath could live her entire life secluded in nature, she would never need this charm.
Of course, most of us don’t live our entire lives secluded in nature.
Lucky for us, this extra simple protection charm for empaths only requires three ingredients and a small drawstring bag. And it’s extremely helpful for shielding you from other people’s emotions, as well as challenging and negative vibrations of all varieties.
Here’s how to make it.
Ingredients:
1 small, drawstring bag (you can sew this or buy it – tea or spice bags work well and are very affordable)
1 clear quartz crystal point
1 clove of garlic
1 sprig of fresh lavender or a pinch of dried lavender blossoms
On a Sunday, spread all ingredients (including bag) on a dinner plate, and hold it in bright sunlight. Sense the sunlight blessing and empowering all ingredients, and infusing them with powerful positivity. When this feels complete (it need not take longer than 2 minutes), place the crystal, garlic, and lavender in the bag and tie it closed. Hold in both open palms, again allowing the sunlight to shine on it. In your mind’s eye, see it filled with the golden light of the sun. Imagine this light radiating out from the charm in a large sphere, and empower it with the intention to powerfully protect you from any and all harsh, challenging, or negative energies. Know that whenever you keep the charm near, you will be cocooned in this protective light. Thank the energies of the earth, sky, and sun by saying:
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Blessed be. And so it is.
Carry the charm in a pocket or pinned to the inside of your clothing as needed.
Did you make and carry this charm? How did it go?

Asé! Thank you for this!!!
You’re very welcome, Freya! Thank you for reading.
Hello,
I have a question regarding something that may not even matter, but; should the garlic clove be peeled, or should it remain in it’s skin?
Thanks!
It will work either way, but leaving it in its skin will help prevent you from going around smelling like garlic. 🙂
Haha, Thanks! And now I wait for a sunny Sunday!
So happy to have found your work Tess (thanks to Magical Housekeeping). Love your combination of magic and posititivity =) I’ve struggled as an empath for 29 years and keeping myself protected until finding my Selenite crystal necklace and keeping a clear quartz on myself at all times. Now on days that I feel bogged down, I realize I forgot to wear them. What a difference they make! Can’t wait to use your tips to amp things up when needed. Thanks!
Hi Alyssa! Thank you for your kind words. I hope you enjoy the charm. If you don’t already, I also recommend doing a daily clearing and shielding meditation. For example like this one: https://tesswhitehurst.com/quick-thorough-aura-cleansing-meditation/
I needs to buy that crystal. I can’t handle a lot of chaotic situations. I get overwhelmed and want to run.
Oh my goddess, THANK YOU!! I have suffered from frequent headaches and feeling tired and overwhelmed for years, especially this past year. It’s gotten so bad, that I can’t even work full time. I went out and boight a selenite necklace bevause of your comment, figured it couldn’t hurt, and what a difference! I felt lighter just hours after putting it on, and I haven’t had a headache since! (I’ve had migrains 15 out of 30 days for almost a year now)
Seriously, I think you just saved me. I’m never taking this necklace off! <3
Anette, that’s great! I’m so glad to hear it! You probably weren’t being literal, but just in case: be sure to take it off in the shower because selenite does melt away in water, much like a salt rock.
I didn’t know that.. Thanks, I was partially literal actually, though I hadn’t been wearing it in the shower, since I didn’t want the metal in the chain to rust or the glue to loosen. But now I definitely won’t be wearing it in the shower. I might get another selenite crystal now that I know how incredibly well it works for me, I like having backups tucked away 🙂
I’ve been wearing different crystals for half my life, and I’ve never had such an immediate, strong and positive reaction to one, I feel about 10kg lighter <3
That’s so cool! I love finding stones with which I resonate strongly.
Hello Tessa!! thank you so much for this post!! I’m 15 and It has been so difficult trying to deal with being an empath especially the awful anxiety amongst crowds but I have a really good feeling about this and can’t wait to try it so once again thank you!!
Holly-Rose, I’m so glad this is helpful. Another tip: even though I am usually vegan, I have found it’s a tremendous help to wear silk when I’m around large crowds, particularly over my heart and belly areas.
