Protecting Your Energetic Sovereignty with Alex Urbina

Why do some people seem constantly plagued by headaches, bad luck, or persistent negative thoughts? The answer might lie in the unseen world of energetic interference. Shamanic practitioner and energy alchemist Alex Urbina returns to explore the fascinating and often misunderstood concept of psychic attacks - moments when our energy field becomes compromised by external forces or our own unprocessed emotions.

"A psychic attack isn't just something that randomly happens," Alex explains. "As energetic beings, we attract what matches our frequency." He reveals how unresolved emotions create stagnant energy that weakens our protective field, and how connections to people from our past can become channels for negative energy. Even more surprising, everyday activities like gossip function as energetic projections capable of affecting others, whether intentional or not.

The conversation takes a practical turn as Alex shares powerful, free methods for energetic cleansing using the four elements. Listeners will discover how to use earth for grounding, fire for transmutation, water for cleansing, and air for clearing - simple practices that can be incorporated into daily life. He also discusses protection techniques, emphasizing our inherent sovereignty and ability to establish energetic boundaries through clear intention.

Perhaps most profound is Alex's perspective on the consciousness within everything around us. "Everything energetically has a spirit," he shares. "The chair you're sitting on, the car you drive - we're just not taught that they are living, conscious, energetic beings." This shift in awareness alone can transform how we navigate the world, creating harmonious relationships with all forms of energy.

Whether you're experiencing unexplained symptoms, feeling persistently drained, or simply seeking greater energetic awareness, this episode offers both illumination and practical guidance. Discover why maintaining your energy field is actually more important than physical hygiene, and how proper energetic maintenance leads to clarity, flow, and wellbeing across all aspects of life.

Speaker 1: 2:30

so welcome everybody to another episode of barn to the soul. I'm your host, natasha joy price, and I'm um, an energy therapist, an author and a podcaster, and today we have got a returning guest, which is lovely, and his name is alex urbina. So welcome, alex. Thank you so much for coming back on the podcast.

Speaker 2: 2:53

Absolutely. Thank you for having me.

Speaker 1: 3:02

No, it's a pleasure. Now, alex is a shamanic practitioner, an energy alchemist, a spiritual healer, author and speaker, and today we're going to talk about psychic attack, and I was just saying to Alex how I'm really glad he's talking about this because I feel like you know, it's something that we are taught energy practitioners but somehow isn't spoken about enough, I think. So it's great to have an episode talking to you about it. So, just to start us off, alex, what is a psychic attack? Just to start us off, alex, what is a psychic attack?

Speaker 2: 3:33

A psychic attack is a term that we use to describe when energy is either being negative. Energy is either being projected at you or you're attracting it to yourself. I believe that it happens on both sides of the coin. It's not just something that just randomly happens, but you got to remember as energetic beings, if we have very low vibrational fear-based frequencies within our energy field, then we attract that same type of energy. If we have high vibrational energy in our field, then we attract that energy. So we end up manifesting our own experiences based on the type of frequencies that we hold in our energy field.

Speaker 2: 4:14

So, for example, if you have energetic cords, which is a connection, an energetic connection to other people, and you haven't intentionally cut those cords or transmuted them or send them to the light to be dissolved, then you are still connected to everything and everybody from your past. So, for example, in old relationships with family members or old bosses or friends that you have departed ways 10 years ago, 50 years ago, but you've never energetically cut those cords or ceremonially put those connections to rest, there's still a pathway energetically from them to you. So sometimes in those relationships, if someone's thinking of you, especially if they're like angry or upset or annoyed, they can be projecting that energy towards you in that channel, in that lane or that highway and then, if you're very sensitive, you could be picking up on it and it can either drain you. It can either be tugging and stealing life force energy from you, or it could be affecting you in a negative way maybe a headache or maybe some. It's affecting your rhythm or your flow and maybe you have now you got thrown off course on the flow of path of least resistance and so maybe now showing up as challenges in your life.

Speaker 2: 5:38

So to me, when you talk about psychic attack, it's not that we're not that sovereign and we're these beings that can just be so vulnerable that any type of energy can just take advantage of us. It's just more about realizing that we need more energetic hygiene, and I think that's the reason why we have these conversations is to talk about it, to cause awareness to go. Hmm, maybe I'm not as energetically clean and protected as I thought I was, and some people aren't even having a thought of it at all. Yeah, they're being introduced to it for probably for the very first time, on a call like this or a broadcast like this. So thank you for holding space to even talk about things like this.

Speaker 1: 6:25

Oh no, I find it fascinating, but it's something that I've been aware of for a very long time. But if you're not aware of it, like you and you're you, you are having headaches or however it's manifesting it, it's just you know, it's just not in your realm of sorting it out. If you don't know it's there, you can't sort it out, can you? So, um, so we've talked a little bit, but what are the warning signs that your energy field has been compromised Because it can affect you. You can have thoughts that aren't your thoughts, can't you? So you can have. It can be on all different levels. It's not necessarily just physical, it can be emotional, it can be, like I say, you can have thoughts that aren't really your thoughts.

Speaker 2: 7:12

Yeah, everything starts off energetically before it actually manifests in the physical experience. So, energetically we're talking about, um, you know, thoughts, negative thoughts, depression, sadness, uh, gloom, um, and then it can manifest in emotional feeling, sad, sad feeling, depressed, not motivated and then it can move into manifesting into the physical experience where now I have bad luck, or things aren't, or I'm or I'm in a loop, I'm stuck in a loop. That thing same thing keeps showing up over and over and I can't figure out how to get it step left or step right into a new, creating a new timeline, get it step left or step right into a new, creating a new timeline. So it just it can, it's, it shows up in that way. So it starts energetically, um, on being unaware of it, not knowing of it or not knowing that it's happening, you can't change it. Because you can't change something that you're not aware of. Because we have our own sovereignty, we have to claim our own power and then decide from within ourselves, within our free will, to say I no longer want to experience this anymore. And so, therefore, I'm causing the shift, you're the one causing your own shift, out of being susceptible to this type of frequencies that's being projected towards you, both consciously and unconsciously, and both intentionally and unintentionally.

Speaker 2: 8:34

Like a lot of, there's a lot of powerful people that don't know they're powerful, like your neighbor, might not realize that energetically or empathically they're very powerful, and they don't know that they're broadcasting a very strong signal to you because they're upset that you didn't, you know, knock on their door before you brought the mail over or whatever it is, and so that they're projecting that anger or frustration towards you and it's affecting and hurting other people.

Speaker 2: 9:00

That's why I like having these conversations, because we could talk about it on both sides. You, as the projector, you don't realize that you're causing these so-called psychic attacks or you're causing this energy disruption in others by your thoughts, by your uncontrolled anger or emotions. You could be the one actually causing and manifesting it within others that aren't aware. And then, on the same coin on the other side is, if you're unaware of it and you're not constantly remembering to keep yourself, your energetic body clean and your field clean and then protected, then you're just taking the brunt and the hit of all those punches that are coming at you that you're unaware of.

Speaker 1: 9:41

Yeah, and sending can be gossip as well.

Speaker 2: 9:44

That's a really good reason to just check yourself Any type of negative energy and it could show up in gossip. I mean, what is gossip? Gossip is talking about somebody without their permission, right?

Speaker 1: 9:58

Yeah.

Speaker 2: 10:00

Talking about certain scenarios that you're projecting now your own judgments towards them. So if we're defining gossip in that way, yeah, that's negative and it could be dangerous and harmful energetically and also manifesting physically for other people.

Speaker 1: 10:16

Yeah, I think that's a really good point to put out there. So when you become vulnerable as well, so unresolved emotional trauma that you have not dealt with, that will weaken your energy field, won't it so that you become more susceptible to this psychic attack, more susceptible to negative energy that's coming your way?

Speaker 2: 10:39

Yeah, absolutely so. As energetic beings, when we don't realize we have suppressed thoughts and suppressed emotions that are showing up stagnant and as a static in our energy field, we're paying consequences for that, and the consequences show up as a warning sign or a warning signal to you, similar to a flashing, buzzing noise and light in your car when you're low on oil, or if there's some type of mechanical issue going on in your car, there's a warning signal and it starts flashing lights and it starts making noise for you to pull over and start addressing that issue. Well, as human beings, somehow we're just so warrior style we just push through all the warning signs. Some of us can't hear the warning signs, some of us can't see the warning signs, some of us were never taught that the warning sign is right in front of you on the dashboard, and this is what it looks like, and this is what it sounds like on the dashboard, and this is what it looks like and this is what it sounds like.

Speaker 2: 11:52

So if you keep avoiding those warning signs AKA psychic attacks, aka no energy, stuck, stagnant, feeling drained, insomnias, all the way leading up to sickness, illness and disease those are all warning signs and they're blessings for us, if we choose to see them as such, so that we can heed the message, which is stop, pull over.

Speaker 2: 12:14

And then let's now look at the warning sign and figure out what it is when it comes to this model that I'm talking about. Like your warning sign in your car usually, you'll pull over and you'll open up your glove box, you pull out the car's manual and you'll open up to the page and it'll tell you exactly what's underneath that warning sign and what the message is trying to tell you. And it's the same thing in this human journey. Those warning signs, like a psychic attack, is trying to send you a message, and then your job is trying to figure out how to decode what that message is and then clear and clean that energy so that you can reset that button and then you can get back on the road, driving again in your life in the direction that you want to head towards.

Speaker 1: 12:59

Yeah, in my experience it would be lovely if we had a manual, though, that would tell us exactly what we needed to do.

Speaker 2: 13:07

Not always the case, but I'm completely get what you're saying, completely agree with it, but it can be hard sometimes, but the purpose of the manual, the manual are people like myself, or people like you or or intuitive or guys, or shamans or healers. They they can tune in to fit to that energy, because all energy has a spirit. So you can tune into that energy and find out what that energy is trying to communicate. So, for example, as a shaman, I'm able to tap into specific energies in people and find out what's your message. Why are you showing up as cancer? What's the message you need to tell this person and it'll flat out tell you.

Speaker 2: 13:47

I'm here to let this person know they have unresolved grief stacked up from multiple scenarios in their lifetime, and it's five or 10 years or 20 years of grief. And if they have the courage to finally realize that that's what it is and find the courage to release it, let it go, maybe even experience some of it. Then we, the cancer cells, will slowly start to dissipate and we'll die out and we'll turn the warning sign off. But just because you don't see the manual doesn't mean the manual is not there. The manual is there, you're just not looking for it.

Speaker 1: 14:24

No, that's right. Fascinating, I think. Just talking to the energy, just that concept some people, you know, have never heard about, or just really is that, you know? But it is so powerful, so powerful, and it goes to that. We need to be looking at the cleanliness of our energy. We need to be looking at our energy field every day, you know, don don't we? It's like we look at our physical, like we look at our diet, our clean our teeth every day, whatever. We need to be tuning into our energy field every day.

Speaker 2: 15:54

A thousand percent, and it's one of the things that I talk about a lot is, you know, our parents God bless their souls. They all taught us, our parents, god bless their souls. They all taught us how to get into a shower or a bath and really scrub the dirt and grime and grease that we've taken on our skin and in certain parts of our body and our ears and around our neck. And they didn't know how to explain to us that your energy body is actually more important than the physical body, Because when you ignore cleaning and clearing the energy body, it's already starting to manifest in the physical body in a way that's not beneficial to your ongoing journey as a human. That's not beneficial to your ongoing journey as a human. It's going to show up in some type of struggle, some type of challenge energetically, emotionally, psychologically and then it'll end up manifesting physically. So the energetic body being cleansed every day is, I think, more important than the physical body and we're just not taught that.

Speaker 2: 17:17

But we're starting to get there. Enough lightworkers, enough healers and way showers are starting to find their own sovereignty and being willing to talk about it more and really shout from the mountaintops to say, hey, this is something that needs to start happening, otherwise you're missing the boat here and you're just going through another lifetime of not realizing that you're going to have to come back and do it again until you, until you see it, until you awaken and see it. You know, maybe maybe you're not. You know, maybe this lifetime is not for you. You came here for another purpose and that's maybe this you know to to avoid or to you know, go and experience other things and including suffering, including suffering, and that's, that's OK too.

Speaker 1: 17:48

Yeah, yeah. Without it, you're missing a massive piece of the jigsaw, aren't you? Really? That is your overall holistic health, and it's so important to get that point really. So let's talk about practical tools and and things that we, the listeners, can do to start protecting their energy field. What would you, what do you recommend that people start with?

Speaker 2: 18:13

well, let's start first. Instead of protecting, let's start with clearing it or cleansing it. As a shamanic practitioner, one of the remembrances that has come so clear to me is that the earth is a sacred gift to all of us. It offers us Mother Earth for us to ground our energy, to put our bare foot into the dirt or onto the grass. And Mother Earth is a sacred living being. She is here to be in service to us. A lot of us aren't taught how to. We've never been introduced to her formally, so we don't know that. She's a living, conscious being, a sacred, divine, benevolent being who's here to really love us and to be a gift for us to transmute energy. She will gladly take any negative energies that we want to transmute and transform back into love through earth. So, by earthing and learning how to do earthing is a very sacred tool of cleansing yourself energetically. And then we also have all the elements, the other elements.

Speaker 2: 19:21

Fire is a great transmuter. You can light a candle and ask the sacred flame, the spirit of fire, to transmute any negative energies that you're ready to transmute and transform back into love. You can create a bonfire. You know, once a week in the backyard. You know, start your fire, a bonfire in the backyard, or turn your fireplace on uh, just invoke the sacred flame, invite the sacred flame of fire and this divine spirit to come and transmute for us, because that's uh, that's, it's, it's gift.

Speaker 2: 19:57

And then there's water. You can use water in your shower and ask the sacred divine spirit of water to cleanse us not just physically but energetically, and then use your intention to brush off the energetic grime and negative static that we have in our energy body. And it's all ceremonial. You're doing this ceremonious. You can just kind of brush away from your energetic body in any specific form and clean and cleanse, but it's really through your sacred intention and your words to say out loud thank you, sacred water. I release the burden, the fears, the guilt, the anger that I've been holding on to. I no longer need it. So, therefore, please cleanse and transmute it from me. And then you have the air, you have wind. You can stand outside, let the wind brush by you and ask that sacred wind to cleanse and clear your energy field. So these are I mean, these don't cost anything, these are free.

Speaker 1: 21:15

These are free. It's just a matter of you remembering that these are gifts for you and they're here when you're ready to long time. And then it just becomes a habit, it becomes an automatic process which you know, if you get into the habit of doing that every day is amazing.

Speaker 2: 21:34

Absolutely. And then and then moving on to to protect protection. Protection really comes back to remembering that we're all sovereign and powerful in our sovereignty Right, meaning that with your spoken declaration of standing in your God-given right to be protected, you can use or create a statement it could be just a one or two words, it could be a couple sentences to just make this declaration. I am sovereign in my protection. I, you know, put a white light of protection around me. There are no cords, no projections, nothing that's not of my highest good can enter into this sacred bubble of protection and you can create it however you want.

Speaker 2: 22:20

It's not about the words or how you say it. It's more about the intent. And if you haven't got to that stage yet to remember that you're sovereign, then there's always the next phase of realizing that we have allies, we have unseen allies, we have angels, you have spirit guides, you have God. You have whatever it is that you believe in that is there standing next to you. It could be your ancestors, it could be whatever you believe in that you can partner up with to be that stand-in for you or stand by you while you're making that claim and that declaration that you get to be protected.

Speaker 1: 23:03

Yeah, and you can use crystals and essential oils. They're all part of the earth as well, aren't they?

Speaker 2: 23:09

Crystals yep, living, they're living beings. Yeah, everything on this planet has a spirit. I hate to. I hate to say this out loud, but I want to say I want to say it out loud everything, everything energetically, has a spirit.

Speaker 2: 23:25

The chair you're sitting on is a spirit. The door you open is a spirit. The car you drive is a spirit. The door you open is a spirit. The car you drive is a spirit. We are just not taught that they are living, conscious, energetic beings and so we ignore them. We don't thank our car for getting us to and from safely every day. We don't thank the chair that we sit on for holding us up. We don't thank the glasses that we wear for giving a sight and course correcting that. So it's just. You know, this conversation is just another remembrance seed to remind us that if we live as so, we will be blessed with those frequencies and it'll help us realign into the flow and it makes life as a human being simple and easy.

Speaker 1: 24:12

Yeah, maybe I shouldn't say this out loud, but I do talk to my car, yay.

Speaker 2: 24:17

She has a name. So does mine.

Speaker 1: 24:20

I'm a good divulger but she has a name.

Speaker 2: 24:22

Yeah, and I'm so grateful for her and I let her know and ever since I started doing that, no more flat tires, no more. You know, yeah, no more, no more issues. And if I do, if I do get it, it's that warning light. She's telling me hey, thank you for honoring me, but hey, you didn't put no water in your coolant.

Speaker 1: 24:43

So well, my garage, my car had to go in the garage the other day to have a new clutch. And the garage guy said to me we do not know how you drove that car for so long. And I said well, you know, I didn't tell them about it. But there you go, and just before. This might be my ignorance as well, alex, but you talked about earthing and grounding. So is that two different things?

Speaker 2: 25:10

uh, earthing and grounding I think they're the same. They're the same thing, um grounding, I think is you know, you putting your feet to the earth yeah I want to say that somebody created the term earthing um just for that connection to the earth.

Speaker 2: 25:30

Well, I think and I might be misspoken here but there's a gentleman who created grounding products and it's called earthingcom. He's one of the most recent people that have created some very powerful earthing products that brings earthing, or grounding, into your home. You don't have to actually get out to the earth, so people that are in the wheelchair or in the hospitals, there's a way to actually bring earthing into to where you're at, where you can actually receive the, the grounding and the and the balance that we need energetically. And uh, he, he has. He's calls it earthing, so there's just different terms for it.

Speaker 2: 26:13

It's the same thing yeah.

Speaker 1: 26:15

You can get shoes, can't you as well? And beds, and it does make a huge difference to people, which is amazing. So all of this that we're talking about, we're clearing our energy, we're cleansing our energy, we're protecting our energy, and how does that help you day to day? How does that help people move forward?

Speaker 2: 26:42

Well, let's see and look at it through the filters of if your energy field or energy body is imbalanced, meaning you have a lot of energy field or energy body is imbalanced meaning you have a lot of dense energies, stagnant energies, static energy or even dark energies, dark entities. Right, let's say that energy field is out of balance the more that you clean and clear it. It's like emptying a bucket of dirty water, a little bit more at a time until the bucket's empty. Then you can scrub the bucket now and clean out the bucket and then fill it with clean water.

Speaker 2: 27:18

So when you ask that question to me, what comes to mind is being energetically balanced, not off balance, because when you're off balance you will pay prices, you will have those warning signs go off, and then you have the chronic headaches or you have the sinus pressure or you have the rash. You have all the ways of manifesting where this energy needs to be. It's trying to release itself from your energy body and your physical body and it shows up in symptoms. So when you ask that question, it's well, do you want to continue to deal with the symptoms, ignore the symptoms, suppress the symptoms, or can your brain understand that when I energetically clean and clear myself, then I'm now more in balance. Now the body starts working flawlessly, uninterrupted and in the state of flow.

Speaker 1: 28:11

Yeah, and the mind, body, spirit. All is connected, isn't it? So if you start to do that, you begin to think more with clarity, you make decisions in a clearer way. You just feel in a better state of being, don't you? That's the only way I can describe it you're in sync.

Speaker 2: 28:37

You're in the flow when you're in the flow, you're just flowing. There's nothing that is. Nothing shows up in that field that is trying to disrupt the flow. Because you have been doing the work, you have been remembering what it takes and then you start to get in the flow Like I think of is like jumping in a beautiful river that just takes you to beautiful places and you can just get off whenever you want and explore and then get back on and you know, you, you're, you just take off.

Speaker 1: 29:08

Yeah, yeah A different world.

Speaker 2: 29:10

Different world, different realm, different frequency. But it takes some work. It starts with you realizing that, oh, I'm not in the river, I'm. I'm on the shore, out deep in the jungle, with leeches on me and being, you know, chased and scared by sounds that that are unfamiliar to me and I need to get out of here. So that's kind of some metaphors for you.

Speaker 1: 29:34

Yeah, lovely metaphors, thank you. It's not a quick fix at all. It is something that you have to work on, but absolutely I hope that our conversation encourages people to actually just think about it as well.

Speaker 2: 29:46

Well, the quick fix? The quick fix is the is the pharmaceutical medications that they offer us that we take to numb, suppress and ignore the root cause of what's going on. So, yeah, there are quick fixes, but they're not, they're not the true healing, they're just the masking, the numbing and the avoidance of what our our energy, body and physical body is screaming at us to say, hey, it's okay to release this. This is the way organically, holistically, to heal yourself.

Speaker 1: 30:20

Yeah, and people can start with any sort of healing, can't they? Any energetic healing that they just resonate with Just go? Into a session just go that's right shifting, you know, clearing something and that's right when you start that motion. I think it's very hard to then get off again yes, it's a.

Speaker 2: 30:40

It's a circle that you can jump in at any point, at any time, like you said uh, you said it perfectly and start with anything that resonates with you.

Speaker 1: 30:49

It could be breath work, it could be yoga, it could be reiki, it could be um grounding, it could be anything that you go I like this, it could be music, it could be anything that that gets you focused on jumping onto that wheel yeah, I started with reiki and um, that was a massive and for a long time I thought I don't know why I'm doing this, but actually it was constantly pulled back, pulled back, and the one thing that kept pulling me back was that I felt like my battery had been recharged. That's the only way I can. I didn't have any understanding of what was going on, but I just thought, actually I feel, you know, I've got more energy, I feel like I've been charged up a bit and that's what kept me going, and then you get that momentum.

Speaker 2: 31:35

So, yeah, that's it, you hit it perfectly yeah, so brilliant.

Speaker 1: 31:40

It's been a pleasure, alex. It's always been a pleasure to talk to you about um energy practices. I find it fascinating well.

Speaker 2: 31:49

Thank you for having me. I appreciate you.

Speaker 1: 31:52

No problem at all, and I will put all your details up, how you can be contacted and your website so listeners can contact you if they want to contact you. So if you've enjoyed listening to Alex and I have a good chat about energy healing, have a look at the other episodes Alex's first episode as well, and I'll speak to you all soon.
