What Does It Really Mean to Protect Yourself Psychically?
Psychic protection isn’t about fear. it’s about keeping your personal current stable, your emotions clear, and your light intact.
Psychic sensitivity begins with awareness, not of what’s “out there,” but of what’s coming from within.
Every person gives off energy in a measurable way.
Our aura is an extension of our own biophotons, tiny particles of light our bodies emit naturally, carried outward through moisture molecules leaving the skin.
We’re constantly losing hydration through our pores, which means we’re constantly extending energy into the air around us. That blurred boundary between our body and the atmosphere is the edge of our aura.
For psychics, that boundary is more perceptible, an extrasensory field we can feel, read, and respond to.
Taking care of this field means protecting it. It’s emotional hygiene as much as spiritual hygiene: keeping your energy clear, hydrated, and calm.
When I talk about cleansing, I’m not just referring to mood or intention. It’s about maintaining your own electrical safety in an energetic world.
When I’ve visited very haunted locations during paranormal investigations, the energy feels electric, you can sense the static in the air.
The same principle applies to your body: it’s an electromagnetic field. Protecting yourself psychically is like grounding a wire.
It keeps your current stable.
Saltwater, in any form, is the great equalizer. I learned that from my husband when he lost a family member.
Whether through tears, sweat, a hot bath, or the ocean itself, saltwater gives us a safe place to let emotion move, to release and to remember we are part of something infinitely larger than ourselves. Saltwater heals all.

Why Is Cleansing Your Space So Important?
Energy builds up like dust; cleansing is how you reset the atmosphere and make your space feel like yours again.
Cleansing your space is one of the most overlooked yet essential parts of psychic work. Just as we tidy our homes or reset our devices, our energetic environments need the same attention.
Energy lingers, emotions, thoughts, tension, grief, all leave a trace.
Using essential oils to brighten, sharpen, or freshen a space isn’t about trend; it’s about creating an atmosphere where clarity can exist.
For some, cleansing means smoke, sage, cedar, or incense curling through the air.
For others, it’s scent, a citrus mist, a drop of frankincense on the pulse points, or the simple act of opening a window and letting light pour in.
Whatever form it takes, the goal is always the same: to return to neutral, to breathe in space again.

What Is The Lime Glo and How Does It Work?
Meet the Australian medium turning limes into the ultimate energy cleanser, simple, sensory, and scientifically grounded in vibration.
One psychic who’s reshaped the way many people think about energetic cleansing is Jessica Lynne, a Melbourne-based psychic medium and creator of The Lime Glo.
Her method is refreshingly simple: lime.
Jessica’s journey began after a powerful encounter with a heavy entity that changed the way she viewed protection. “That moment completely shifted my understanding of cleansing,” she shares.
“Not everything works for everyone, and sometimes the simplest tools have the strongest effect.”
When her kinesiologist used lime essential oil on her, the shift was immediate. “The energy just cleared out completely,” she says. “That’s when I realized energy work doesn’t have to be abstract. Lime made it tangible, you can literally see it doing its job.”
Jessica describes lime as a fast-moving, purifying vibration that slices through stagnancy. “Most of what people call negative energy isn’t evil, it’s fear, stress, or grief that’s gotten stuck. Lime cuts through that like sunlight through fog. It doesn’t just lift energy; it resets it completely.”
She also explains how the properties of lime make it stand out from other citrus oils. “Lime has a sharper, faster frequency,” she says.
“Lemon uplifts, orange comforts, but lime enforces. It doesn’t just brighten a space; it commands heaviness to move.”
In her practice, she often recommends people start with something as simple as slicing a lime and placing it in their bedroom or workspace.
“You’ll see it start to shrivel, mold, or discolor, that’s your sign it’s done its job,” she explains.
“The lime literally takes on the heaviness for you. When it changes, just thank it, throw it out, and replace it with a new one.”
Jessica’s now-iconic Lime Glo line, candles, sprays, and diffusers, transforms this humble citrus into a full sensory experience.
“The scent alone uplifts instantly,” she says. “It speaks directly to the limbic system, the part of the brain that regulates memory and emotion. That’s why even kids or pets relax when a space is cleared with lime. You don’t need to understand energy to feel it shift.”
All of her products are made with pure, ethically sourced lime essential oil, never synthetic fragrance. “Everything is clean and intentional,” she adds. “The oils are lab-tested, cold-pressed, and balanced at safe dilutions so they’re potent but gentle enough for daily use.”
Jessica uses Lime Glo in her own readings and house clearings, too. “Before a session, I spray the room, take a few deep breaths, and light a candle. The lime instantly clears the static and grounds me. It sets the tone of safety and peace for everyone involved.”
Her approach resonates because it’s accessible and free of fear. “Cleansing isn’t about fighting darkness,” she says.
“It’s about inviting peace. Energy wants to move, lime just helps it move faster.”
No elaborate rituals. No complicated tools. Just a lime, intention, and a willingness to clear what no longer belongs. A bright, tangible reminder that light always finds a way in.
I’ll admit, her method has me rethinking my own. My husband hates the scent of smoke, and my personal practice usually involves dragon’s blood incense and a cedar, sage, and frankincense blend from Leftover Hippies. I burn a small cone before every mediumship reading to heighten psychic sight and establish focus.
While Jessica’s Lime Glo has taken the world by storm for its light, fresh, citrus-based cleansing, my personal ritual leans in the opposite direction, deep, woodsy, and resinous. Her lime clears like sunlight; mine anchors like soil.
Both work under the same principle of transmutation, turning heavy energy into something pure and peaceful again.
For daily spiritual hygiene, I use a protective spray I make myself, blending frankincense, myrrh, black pepper, cedar, and sage essential oils with distilled water and a touch of grain alcohol.
These ingredients aren’t strange or esoteric, they’re tree resins and sacred herbs used across centuries in ceremonies around the world.
Frankincense and myrrh come from the hardened sap of ancient trees, still used today by the Catholic Church and many other traditions to cleanse the air before mass.
They aren’t “occult” ingredients; they’re part of humanity’s oldest language of prayer and purification.
Even dragon’s blood, often misunderstood because of its name, is simply the red resin of the Dracaena or Daemonorops tree, long valued for its protective and healing qualities. It carries a warm, rich scent that deepens focus and establishes a grounded calm.
Each ingredient in my blend serves a purpose:
Frankincense: elevates vibration and connects to higher consciousness.
Myrrh: stabilizes and seals energetic leaks.
Black pepper: promotes courage and alertness.
Cedar: grounds and protects.
Sage: neutralizes residual energy.
Together, they create a protective aroma that feels earthy, comforting, and strong a sensory reminder to stay centered in your own energy.
I’ll never sell physical items, so if you want to make this blend yourself, you’ll need to order the essential oils individually.
Or, if you prefer incense, I recommend visiting LeftoverHippies.com a Canadian handmade incense provider that uses only pure resins and natural ingredients. Their cedar, sage, and frankincense ‘temple blend’ is what I burn before readings to heighten psychic sight and create a grounded atmosphere.
Whether you prefer Jessica’s crisp, citrusy Lime Glo or the grounding depth of natural resins, both achieve the same goal: clearing stagnant energy and helping your spirit breathe again.
After readings, I hold my large piece of black tourmaline, a companion I’ve had for over a decade since living in a haunted apartment.
Tourmaline is naturally piezokinetic; when heated or compressed, it produces an electrical charge. One end generates a positive current, the other a negative one, creating a natural loop that disrupts or diffuses electrical disturbances in the air.
Ancient ceremonial magicians knew this.
In royal courts, they’d set up three pieces of schorl (black tourmaline) in a triangle to contain spirit energy safely within it. It’s one of the oldest and most intelligent forms of energetic protection.
While my blend leans woodsy and spicy, deep, resinous, and earthy, Jessica’s lime method operates on the same law of energetic transmutation. Her lime clears like light; my incense grounds like earth. Both bring peace back into motion.
Still, as I write this, I’m considering making The Lime Glo a part of my own practice.
The scent of lime is crisp, purifying, and undeniably refreshing, and for those of us with partners who aren’t fond of smoke, it may be the perfect balance between clarity and comfort.
Jessica’s innovation reminds us that true spiritual hygiene doesn’t have to be dramatic.
It just has to work, and it has to come from love, not fear.

How Can You Maintain Spiritual and Emotional Hygiene?
Your aura is alive, treat it like skin. Hydrate it, calm it, and protect it with practices that keep your energy steady and strong.
Whether you’re psychic, intuitive, or simply emotionally open, protection is about care, not avoidance.
When you protect yourself, you’re creating a safe container for your own electrical energy.
You’re maintaining the clarity of your field so that your perception remains balanced, and your sensitivity becomes a gift rather than a drain.
There’s no single way to do it right, what matters is presence, consistency, and respect for your own energy.
Whether it’s lime, smoke, saltwater, or stillness, the practice itself is what keeps your light clear.
If you’re developing your intuition and want to strengthen your sensitivity with structure and consistency, 7 Practical Ways to Enhance Your Intuition offers easy, proven practices to help you tune in daily.
What Are the Best Tools for Psychic Protection?
From saltwater and citrus to smoke and stone, these are the everyday tools that keep your energy field clean and your intuition sharp.
Energy is electrical, it flows, it conducts, it builds residue.
Cleansing neutralizes that charge so you can think, feel, and perceive clearly again.
- Saltwater: heals and balances emotion through conductivity.
- Lime: cuts through density and refreshes the field.
- Incense and Oils: reprogram scent memory for calm and clarity.
- Black Tourmaline and Obsidian: stabilize the body’s frequency, grounding stray currents.
Find the ritual that speaks to you and make it part of your day. A clear space creates a clear channel, that’s when the quiet language of psychic senses becomes beautifully, unmistakably fluent.

Closing Thoughts
Protecting your energy isn’t about hiding from the world, it’s about staying connected to it without losing yourself. Whether you choose lime, incense, saltwater, or silence, every act of cleansing is really an act of self-respect.
When your energy feels balanced, your intuition sharpens, your home feels lighter, and life begins to flow again with ease.
