Incense for Psychic Protection

Energy medicine, therapeutic touch, meditation, manifesting and prayer all share something in common; they involve the movement of unseen energy and the shifting of vibrations. Most religions burn incense during specific celebrations and services. Each time we participate in these activities, we are exposed to energies and entities that may or may not act in our best interest. As a safe measure, incense can be burned for grounding and protection to avoid the absorption of others' emotions, prevent psychic attack and impede uninvited spiritual attachments. It's affordable, easy to find and simple to use.
