Place the adhesive tape to navel plug It is a very old belief, which many people believe is a small protection ritual. They say that by covering the umbilical chakra you would be repelling negative energies that try to enter your field.

I, as a good guardian of the ancestral mysteries, love to learn ways of protection, and in order to put into practice any form of ritualistic practice, it is important to search for the fundamentals of that practice, so that it can be done with consciousness, and achieve the expected results.

Covering the navel, a symbolic act

The instructions spread by the internet and popular belief are diverse, such as putting the adhesive tape in the navel for a week, 60 days and taking it off only to take a bath, among others, and this can be somewhat dangerous. Magic formulas do not exist, but magic does.

To use magic in our favor is to have knowledge of the practices, and mainly, self-knowledge to perceive how it is acting in our being.

Let's start by looking at the workings of our chakras, which are a great flow of energy, where each of the vortices communicate with each other in this fluid exchange of energy, thus keeping each other in balance.

When we have one of the chakras blocked or out of balance, we naturally make room for other chakras to become unbalanced or blocked as well.

The act of covering the navel is a symbolic act, a command to close your chakra to prevent external energies from entering your field. Covering the navel, placing a crystal, a symbol, or any other form of protection is welcome, when we know what we are activating in our field.

Protection begins in the mind

Every form of magic, protection and healing starts from the mental principle, from the intention and firmness of what you want. So it is not enough to stick a piece of adhesive tape on your navel, it is necessary to intend the closure of that chakra while the tape is there, with the purpose of protection.

Well, if we now know that when a chakra is blocked or unbalanced it can affect the balance of the other chakras, we can now see that spending many days with the navel plugged may not be so beneficial, as it is prone to open a margin for other chakras to disharmonize and disturb your well-being, turning an initial protection into a problem.

The fine line between superstition and protection is the knowledge you have of that practice. So yes, covering your navel, which is the gateway for energies, protects your field, especially your solar plexus (which when hit by negative energies, can end up causing numerous discomforts and challenges for you and your relationships), but when used wisely.

Spending days with the chakra covered will not bring you permanent protection to remain harmonized and protected. A daily work of awareness of your own energy is necessary.

There is no point in closing the energy gateway if in your daily life you cultivate negative thoughts, complain about life, don't look at your own issues, and don't take care of your field energetically as a whole.

The act of covering the navel is a quick protection ritual for specific moments. For example, you will go to a meeting with many people and you naturally absorb a lot of external energies. So during the meeting you can put the tape over your navel (or even your hand for unexpected situations such as a conflict or challenging conversation).

It is important, however, to remove yourself right after the meeting and try to notice how your energy is and if any form of harmonization is needed.

When we are aligned and harmonized, we are not vulnerable to low-vibration energies. If you are feeling very unlucky or like a sponge absorbing everything around you, the work needs to be deeper, either from an energetic bath working all your chakras or in more necessary cases, an energy therapy session, such as theradiesthesia.

For a longer energetic protection work it is necessary to look at all your bodies, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

Four ways to protect the navel

For specific moments, such as going out in public places, connecting with people at challenging times, going to a new place, or others, I will suggest four quick forms of protection for specific situations:

1. Cover the belly button: yes, as I said before, as a one-time preventive measure, you can cover your belly button with a piece of adhesive tape, being conscious of the act and magnetizing the protection while wearing it.
2. Crystal : place in the navel a small stone of hematite (which has the function of dissipating negative energy, bringing protection and prevents the absorption of low vibration energies), tiger's eye (dispels bad energies, neutralizes negative forces and helps resolve conflicts) or even red jasper (one of the most powerful stones to ward off energetic attacks, envy, magic and low vibration energies).vibration).
3. Symbols: for reikians, the cho ku king in all directions (front, back, top, bottom, right and left) has the power to close your field, bringing protection and also elevating your energetic frequency. the pentagram, cross, OM, and star of David are some examples of symbols that can be drawn or pasted both in the navel and on the back, just below the neck.
4. Lunar Belt: For Goddesses who seek to protect themselves, especially at the time of their lunation, the lunar belt is made from fabrics such as wool and cotton, and is adorned with prayers and intentions for protection. Besides the protective function, the belt helps with the relief of colic by warming the belly, and is enhanced when used with medicinal herbs.

Regardless of which form of protection you opt for, I will leave some suggestions here:

• Always bring your consciousness into presence. With a few breaths you can, bringing your attention to the moment to imbue your protection ritual.
• Make clear to your energy field your intentions with that ritualistic one.
• Observe your energy daily, the greatest form of protection is our own high energetic frequency. So if you feel that you are discouraged, sad, without energy, stressed... look for treatments to work on your energetic field, such as herbal treatments, chakra alignment, meditation, yoga, and so many other options, whichever suits you best.
• Always seek to understand the basics of both the personal rituals and therapies you seek, knowledge empowers and brings you mastery of your own energy.

I hope this sharing has brought you knowledge, inspiration, and confidence to engage in your self-care with love and wisdom.

Protection, love, and faith!
