Safe Practices in Spirit Communication

Safe Practices in Spirit Communication

Protect your energy. Honor the spirit world. And step into your magick with confidence.

Spirit communication is a powerful and sacred practice—but like any form of connection, it must be approached with respect, boundaries, and awareness. Whether you’re just starting your spirit keeping journey or you’re deep into mediumship, following safe practices ensures your well-being, strengthens your intuition, and deepens your relationship with the spirit realm.

Here’s everything you need to know to keep your spirit communication safe, empowering, and spiritually sound.

1. Cleanse Your Space & Your Energy First

Before inviting any spirit into your space, clear the energetic slate. Spirits—just like people—respond better to clean, respectful environments. This helps keep lower or trickster entities from slipping in.

Try This:

    •    Burn herbs like mugwort, rosemary, or frankincense.

    •    Ring bells or use sound bowls to shift stagnant energy.

    •    Visualize golden or white light sweeping through your space and aura.

Bonus Tip: Cleanse yourself with a salt bath or smoke before major communication sessions.

2. Set Strong Boundaries

Boundaries are the cornerstone of spiritual safety. Just because you’re open to communication doesn’t mean every energy has permission to access you.

Your boundaries might include:

    •    Only allowing spirits you’ve personally called or vetted.

    •    Setting time limits (e.g., “You may only speak to me between 8-9 PM.”)

    •    Making certain rooms of your home off-limits.

    •    Requiring spirits to identify themselves clearly before speaking.

Say aloud or write:

“Only spirits aligned with my highest good, truth, and light may enter this space or communicate with me.”

3. Know Who You’re Speaking To

Just because something talks, doesn’t mean it’s telling the truth. Always ask for spiritual ID and confirmation. Spirits should not be offended by this—in fact, well-intentioned ones will respect you more for being cautious.

Ask them to:

    •    State their name, origin, and purpose.

    •    Share a sign or symbol only your guides would know.

    •    Confirm their energy (e.g., through a pendulum, tarot, or your spirit guide).

If anything feels “off” or too pushy, end the session and cleanse.

4. Use Protective Tools and Allies

Certain tools and spiritual allies can shield you while you work.

Consider using:

    •    Protective crystals (like black tourmaline, obsidian, or labradorite)

    •    White candles to anchor high-vibrational light

    •    Ancestral guides, deity allies, or guardian spirits

    •    Protective oils or sigils drawn around your workspace

You can also call in protection with a simple chant:

“Shield me now in light and flame,

No harm may cross, no fear may name.”

5. Close Every Session

One of the most dangerous mistakes is leaving energetic doors open. Always close your session and thank the spirits you worked with. Think of it like turning off the stove—you wouldn’t leave it on all night, would you?

Closing can be as simple as:

    •    Saying: “Thank you. This communication is now closed.”

    •    Blowing out candles or ringing a bell

    •    Visualizing a door closing and locking behind you

Follow with a final cleanse to reset your space.

6. Honor, Don’t Command

This isn’t Hollywood. Spirits aren’t here to entertain or serve—they are beings with autonomy. Speak with respect, ask questions instead of making demands, and offer gratitude when they show up.

Make offerings of:

    •    Water, incense, or wine

    •    Candles, flowers, or sacred herbs

    •    Your time, energy, or attention

Spirit communication should always be rooted in mutual respect.

7. Watch for Red Flags

If you feel dizzy, drained, anxious, or confused after spirit contact, something might be amiss. A healthy connection usually leaves you feeling energized, calm, or clear—not haunted.

Red flags include:

    •    A spirit demanding secrecy or control

    •    Feelings of being watched when you’re not communicating

    •    Nightmares, nausea, or fear after contact

    •    Spirit refusing to leave when asked

If this happens: cut ties, cleanse deeply, and seek help from a trusted practitioner if needed.

Final Thoughts: Your Safety is Sacred

Spirit communication is a birthright—but it must be treated with care. You are not powerless. You are not at the mercy of anything unseen. With the right preparation, protection, and mindset, you can build beautiful, lifelong connections with your spirit allies.

Trust your gut. Keep your energy clean. And never forget—you are just as powerful as anything on the other side.
