Do I need a gatekeeper for psychic protection

About 150 years ago, mediums were taught about gatekeepers.

Gatekeepers functioned like a mediumship go-between, combining the essence of nightclub bouncer and usher for spirit contacts. It was a popular belief to have a gatekeeper for any psychic or mediumship work, especially those still connected to fear-based religion.

Mediums 150 years ago were taught they needed Gatekeepers to keep evil stuff out.

But what evil stuff, and where exactly did this idea come from?

Is a gatekeeper a spirit guide?

A gatekeeper wasn’t like a spirit guide, but many people in the late 1800s thought so. In fact, A gatekeeper isn’t a guide – it’s part of YOU! Over the past 150 years, as we learned more about evidential mediumship, we learned how the Spirit World works. I

In the 21st century, a gatekeeper is recognised more as an aspect of our consciousness, that represents our spiritual boundaries and awareness.

Rather than assigning the role of caring for our energy field and who enters it outside us, we accept this is a personal job and work on our boundaries. Consider this an updated definition of a spiritual gatekeeper for psychic protection.

What’s the difference between a gatekeeper and a spirit guide?

These days we know thoughts create reality, and the subject of personal boundaries is much more well known now than two hundred years ago.

Assigning responsibility to an external “someone” is not how a spirit Guide works. Guides help us on our spiritual journey, and that often means allowing us to discover what our boundaries are.

A gatekeeper is now seen as the energetic repository for our boundaries. It’s the personification of all our house rules. After all, even if there WAS a spirit helper to do our protections for us, we’d still have to tell them what we wanted.

What are your psychic boundaries?

Psychic boundaries are energetic house rules for working with spirit. Just like a doorbell tells when someone’s there, your energy will be alerted to a spirit presence. But we don’t allow anyone to run into our house. Psychic boundaries might be deciding who gets to enter and when. Maybe it begins with an energetic version of a front door!

• Installing a front door, or having psychic ‘office hours’ so the spirit world won’t intrude during sleep.
• Deciding when the door is open and closed
• Paying attention to the feel of the energy.
• Early detection of trouble both in this world and the next.
• Having a strong filter of “high vibe only”.

Psychic boundaries are a work in progress.

Now that we know the responsibility for our energy lies with us the fun begins.
Boundaries are always a work in progress, ever evolving as we do. Sometimes a boundary is discovered after someone’s run into our energy house with muddy boots, or when that client is a no-show for the third time.

Don’t feel bad if they don’t happen right away. As you build your house rules, there will be natural ups and downs. Remember back to a time you set a limit – there was usually a settling in period, or someone who challenged it?

Even now, the universe loves to challenge me when I set time off. There will always be an “emergency” client who needs me right at that time! I’ve learned to stand by my own rules and not let the inner “rescuer” come out to sabotage.

How to use your awareness instead of a Gatekeeper

Because spiritual growth is a work in progress, there’s many ways to start. Here’s a few:

• Keep a section of your Spiritual Growth Journal for recording boundaries in. Add and amend as needed.
• For ones that feel hard to enforce, write them on a post-it note on the bathroom mirror as a reminder.
• Set aside meditation time to feel into new ones. Will you let Spirit wake you in the middle of the night or not?

Setting these limits flows into your energy field and becomes like a psychic signpost for all to “see”. Your boundaries radiate out into the world and suddenly everyone’s treating you better. Even in this world! Most of all you can relax and feel safe.

That’s why you wanted a Gatekeeper for in the first place, right?

Does smudging work for psychic protection?

Want to update your “psychic protection app” for the 21st Century? No more relying on smudging, crystals or props to keep away entities and negative energy. I love the idea of an app for psychic protection. After all, that’s all smudging or smokey quartz is – a reminder that all the protection we need is inside us.

But what if the gatekeeper for psychic protection was you? What if all that was ever needed was a strong energy field or aura and when it’s strong and radiant, negativity slides off like bugs on a windshield?

This psychic skill is one of the foundation protections taught in mentoring. You can start building a stronger energy field now with a simple meditation called Sitting in the Power. Get my version as an audio download in the Psychic Classroom.
