Protecting Ourselves
During Channeling


Renato Costa



The message below is a reply written on March 29, 2001 to a question posted in a board that I used to visit. A medium had been listening to aggressive discussions while trying to connect to high-order spirits and he had asked for advice as how to deal with the situation. Here’s what I said:

It is certainly a wise attitude of ours to protect ourselves against negative influences. Nevertheless, we must have in mind that if our subtle ears happen to hear and make us listen to an aggressive discussion, it is a good opportunity for us to help someone in need.

Ignorant spirits may really drain energy from us, though they may do so due to the fact that they need such extra energy to feel better. Spirits are all our bothers and sisters, no matter what their evolution is. A spirit that we plainly “tell to leave” may be a previous-life beloved friend or a close relative of ours dwelling in a sad situation and begging desperately for help. Telling it to leave will have an opposing effect to our intention; instead of leaving the channel free for us to contact high order beings, our lack of compassion will make the channel collapse.

Whenever we feel that low-level entities are contacting us when we are keeping our vibration high, we must never simply dismiss them as inconvenient, but rather pray for them. We must increase our vibration even more, filling it with love, and pray so that those spirits may be helped. Two immediate consequences such a prayer will have. First, good spirits will come and help the suffering spirits to leave their auto-created negative environment. Second, the suffering spirits will feel the relief that our loving vibration will cause to them.

Oh, there is a third one too. There is no more powerful shield against negative energy than love.
