Protection from Evil
How to Trust Your Gut and Protect Your Peace
The word “evil” can feel heavy, and I don’t mean to scare you, but negativity—call it evil or ill intentions—exists in subtle ways. Naming it doesn’t give it power; it does the opposite. Declaring it empowers you to protect your peace. If you’re on a healing journey, you’ve likely felt this truth: darkness exists. Not the cartoonish, movie-villain kind, but the subtle, insidious energy that hides in plain sight.
It might show up as a “friend” who leaves you drained.
A family member whose words carry a sting.
Or that “nice” coworker whose vibe just feels… off.
Your mind might try to rationalize it—“They didn’t mean it” or “I’m overreacting.” But your body? It never lies. That tightness in your chest, the knot in your gut, the sudden exhaustion after a five-minute chat—those are your intuition’s red flags. Your nervous system is picking up on energy that doesn’t align with love or truth.
I used to brush it off. I’d tell myself to “be nice” or “give them the benefit of the doubt.” But ignoring those signals only left me depleted. Now, I listen. I protect my peace with intention, love, and my go-to ritual: my pink bubble of light.
Not Everyone Knows Their Intentions
Sometimes, people don’t even realize their intentions are off. It sounds strange, but not everyone has the self-awareness to look in the mirror. Not everyone is on a path of self-actualization. Yet, when you’re on a healing journey, your number one goal is to protect your peace. The Bible urges us to “guard your heart above all else” (Proverbs 4:23), and A Course in Miracles echoes this, teaching us to choose love over fear. Call on God, your angels, or your higher power—especially when something feels energetically off. You don’t need to judge outwardly. Do it quietly. Do it fast.
My Pink Bubble Ritual: A Shield of Love
Whenever my intuition senses something off—whether I’m heading into a tense situation or just feel a subtle energetic mismatch—I pause. I take a deep breath and call in my spiritual backup.
I ask my angels to surround me, guide me, and shield me. Then, I visualize myself stepping into a glowing pink bubble of light—soft yet unbreakable, loving yet fierce. It’s my Glinda-the-Good-Witch moment from The Wizard of Oz: serene, powerful, and completely untouchable by chaos or ill intentions.
If I’m with my kids, my husband, or anyone I hold dear, I mentally wrap them in the bubble too. We’re safe. We’re protected. We’re held in light.
This isn’t just a feel-good visualization—it’s a boundary. A declaration to my nervous system, my spirit, and the universe: I choose love. I choose light. And I reject anything that doesn’t align. It’s a practice that’s as grounding as it is spiritual, calming my body while fortifying my energy.
Examples from My Life
In my clinic, I use the pink bubble daily. If a nurse warns me that a patient is disgruntled—maybe they’re in pain or upset about a wait—I pause before entering the room. I close my eyes for a second, call in my angels, and wrap myself in that glowing pink light. It helps me stay calm, centered, and protected, so I can show up with compassion without absorbing their frustration.
I also use it preemptively for big moments. Before going into labor with my children, I’d visualize the pink bubble around me and my baby, shielding us through the intensity. Same thing before my board exams—I’d stand outside the testing center, take a deep breath, and wrap myself in light to block out fear or doubt. It’s like an energetic reset, keeping me grounded in love.
And here’s a more personal one, even if it’s a bit awkward to admit: I use the pink bubble every time I’m around my husband’s ex-wife. I have three amazing stepkids, and while she’s outwardly polite—fake smiles and all—my intuition picks up on her resentment. It’s heavy, like a cloud of unspoken hostility. Before any interaction, I quietly surround myself with the pink bubble. It lets me stay kind and present for the kids without letting her energy drain me. It’s my way of protecting my peace without confrontation.
The Book That Gave Me Clarity
Caroline Myss’s The Courage to Confront Evil was a game-changer for me. It put words to what my intuition had always known: evil doesn’t always look dramatic. It can be the quiet manipulation, the passive-aggressive jab, the guilt trip disguised as kindness. It can hide behind a smile or a “well-meaning” comment.
Caroline’s work resonated deeply because, like me, she was raised Catholic. Growing up, I wrestled with spiritual questions that didn’t fit neatly into church teachings. I felt intuitive nudges—knowings—that I couldn’t explain. Caroline gave me permission to honor those gifts as sacred, to blend my faith with my wild, unexplainable spiritual experiences. She taught me that discernment is holy, and trusting my gut is a form of divine protection.
Key Lessons from Caroline Myss
Boundaries don’t need explanations. If someone’s energy violates your peace, you don’t owe them a debate.
Discernment is a gift. Your inner truth is your compass—trust it.
Drainage is data. Feeling wiped after an interaction? That’s your body signaling a mismatch in energy.
Protection starts with awareness. Align your energy with love, and the rest falls into place.
Why This Matters for Your Healing
If you’re working on your health—balancing hormones, healing your gut, or calming anxiety—but you’re still surrounded by toxic energy, your progress will stall. Healing isn’t just about supplements or self-care routines. It’s energetic. It’s emotional. And sometimes, it’s about navigating spiritual warfare in your own life.
You’re not imagining it. You’re not “too sensitive.” Your intuition is a superpower, and you can lean into it. Call in protection. Trust your gut. Choose love that shields without apology.
