protection

[Guest guest]

People often want help with protection . This may be for

protection from psychic attack , from physical danger ,from emotional

distress, from negative energies or from disease as well as other

possible reasons . There are vast numbers of stones ,

spells, spiritual techniques, energy work, and filters and shields

that can be used for protection .

 

Protection is aided and enhanced by the ongoing process of

cleansing and clearing your energy body and by developing your mental

,emotional and spiritual integrity .

When you work to heal yourself this will help prevent

reoccurrence of difficulties from whatever cause. Ones own fear

of psychic attack is usually far more harmful than actual attack.

Fear is a primary attractant to all forms of possible psychic danger .

 

I usually distinguish between actual psychic attack and a kind of

background negativity or reaction negativity which is very common

but usually

does not comprise true attack, this energy is often amplified by

the receiver. I do think that everyone needs to learn to have

boundaries and a moderate protective shield or filter as a

routine . That is part of normal spiritual hygiene and is usually

enough to provide shelter from the kind of frequent perceived

assault of background negativity .

 

It is also of value particularly when you are doing work with

people who do have concerns and issues with psychic attack or feel

vulnerable to such effects to have some idea of how to throw up a

major protection though maintaining such a total shield all the

time as many do is often harmful because these total protective

shields can block reception of needed information and energies as

well.

 

Actual determined all out psychic attack is far less common than

many think it is . and major defenses are often used

inappropriately. It is true that attention attracts energy and

paying attention to attack and fear of any kind can draw it to you .

even then ones relationship to events will be different in accord

with ones personal spiritual balance .

 

One concern people who are doing energy healing work often have is

about the potential for picking up negative energies through empathy

or from clients . Properly done healing work will have built in

safe guards against this, so long as the practitioner remains

neutral in the sense of not using their own energy or trying to

force specific results.

 

When it comes to energetically protecting oneself from physical

danger these techniques can and do help, but they do not eliminate

the need for normal common sense precautions. When a person

deliberately places themselves in harms way they may indeed attract

trouble. ( Don't walk down a dark alley, in a bad neighborhood, at

midnight, wearing a mink coat and diamonds, and get mad at God

/Goddess if you get mugged).

 

Part of protecting ourselves involves basic spiritual hygiene ,

working to remove energetic blocks, repair aura damage, remove

implants and entities, general practice of clearing and balancing

your aura and chakras and staying grounded will help prevent

susceptibility to and harm from the influence of energies

,emotions and even psychic attack from others, deliberate or

unintentional from people and non physical entities.

Whether such influences or entities are imaginary or real in a

specific case is usually moot. Most methods of protective work are

still usable whether the negative energy is from external or internal

sources.

 

Light is used for protection. Spiritual shakti (energy) ,invoking

angels and/ or other protective forces are among the most common

protective methods.

Crystals can be programmed to bring in and help amplify spiritual

light and energy. Another form of light people also often call

on is the violet flame of Saint Germane for protection and

evaporating negative attachments .Always ask your Spiritual

Advisor such as Solar / Companion Angel ( also called

guardian angel) for help with protection, you will receive it .

If you do not like the term Angel use any other name you prefer for

protective and guiding entities and forces. (Sometimes part of your

life lesson is that you have the ability to deal with issues of

protection ,in which case the angelic protection will remain as

back up rather than being overt).

 

The more you attune with spirit and move in accord with your own Soul

purpose the less need for protections you will have. These methods

do not require you to practice or believe in any particular faith

or path.

 

If you have been attuned to an energy work system You can use that

shakti such as Quartz shakti , The crystal healing shakti, Reiki ,etc..

Some energy work systems do have specific shakti and procedures for

protection.

Without attunement to an energy system you can call on White

,Golden or rainbow light or other energy to fill your aura and

form a protective bubble, filter or force field around you . Some of

us use the very Star Trekish (mental) command " shields Up! " Having a

gesture or movement or mental image that is used as a trigger for

your protective technique often increases a persons ability to

focus and create a shield or filter. One such movement is to hold

the index finger and thumb of each hand together and visualize

yourself in a strong white sphere/egg. Another gesture activation

is to place your hands palms outward , thumbs and index fingers

together forming a triangle. Mental imagery or a small

gesture such as tapping your wrist or rubbing your index finger

knuckle as though activating a shield with a button are less obvious.

A typical mental visualization is of an image glowing bubble of

light surrounding you. Or a Teflon bubble shield .

I feel that it is better to intend that negative energy be

transformed to positive energy such as by being sent to the earth

for clearing and purifying before it is returned to its owner and

do not usually recommend mirror shields. I often use a mental image

of negative energy hitting my shields and converting to positive or

being teleported to a cleansing entity before being returned . This

applies to personal energy as well as that from others , We

often need more protection from our own programs of self sabotage

than from external or psychic forces.

 

You can create a Macro set of shakti and imagery for instant on

protection . Macros may run faster and more weakly than conscious

energy work but you can run conscious energy work in combination

with macros and programs . If you do not have access to energy macros

you can still practice your protective method so that you can

activate it automatically.

 

I usually recommend filters rather than shields as a protective

method . Filters will not inadvertently block needed energy and

information. Some people build such strong defensive shields that

they close out needed information and so may put themselves at more

than normal risk because they are not open to be aware of the

signals around them. . The need for protection can be

overemphasized .The best protection in the spiritual and psychic

sense is to develop your intuition and personal spiritual strength

and then you will not be vulnerable .

 

I have found that rather than shields and filters the light of

transformation is often the best protection, in this method one

brings light into

ones body from the Earth and the Heavens and expands it into a

radiant rainbow filling it with your own heart light and expanding

into a sphere around you any negative energy will be transformed

into love and healing.

 

There are really a great many stones that are used for protection

. Clear quartz can be programmed for any kind of protective work.

Smoky quartz is often carried as a protective stone other stones

used for General Protection include Turquoise, Lapis Lazuli,

fluorite, chiastolite, jet, onyx ,prehnite, shark tooth ,

malachite, black tourmaline, obsidian, coal black and red stones in

general. Garnet , Agates, jade and sard are also protective

stones of note. Your birthstones whatever their general properties

are, will be protective for you To dissolve Negativity & Psychic

defense you can use black tourmaline, lapis, labradorite.

Physical Protection: apache tears, jet , rutilated quartz ,

coral, holey stones, stones with natural holes are also considered

protective .

Not a stone, but because horn, antlers , shells and the like are

often included in stone properties lists I'll mention that

naturally shed cats claws are a classic protective token. It is

quite common to place a stone or crystal in each corner of a room or

of the house to provide basic clearing and protection. Though some

people prefer

larger stones even tiny quartz or amethyst points taped to the

walls at the corners have

been quite effective.

The Most common room placement may be putting a quartz crystal in

each corner of the room and or the house. Amethyst is also often

used .These corner

crystals are usually kept in place at all times and cleared or

replaced often.

A single terminated quartz crystal is placed in each corner of the

room with the points facing into the center. Some people use a

small bottle or container with chips of stones such as a chakra or

rainbow set possibly combined with herbs oils and /or salt or water.

A small box preferably pyramid shaped can be filled with the stones

of your choice too..

As you place each stone you can dedicate or program it for the

function of maintaining a protective and clear environment in the area .

The stones do not actually need to be all of the same kind. You can

certainly place more than one stone in or near each corner. They can

be chosen to bring in a specific quality of energy to represent the

elements or by personal intuition. Many people also place stones

facing or near doors such as an obsidian sphere or large agate for

grounding and protection or some rose quartz to " greet " visitors .

Both Rose quartz and Amethyst help keep the the atmosphere of a

room light and positive

Some people choose a stone to be placed facing the door as a

guardian stone . Sometime a stone native to the area is used as a

guardian.

 

For personal protection you can carry some stones in a pocket or

pouch or wearing a protective stone in jewelry .You can also use

these and other protective stones in your house and in grids

dedicated to protection for yourself and others .

Select your stones for protection and commune with them so that you

know it is appropriate to work for them for protection . Set the

intention that these are your protective stones . Always start with

cleared and fully energized stones and clear stones used in

protective work often . You may want to change protective stones

frequently to give them a rest. Some stones repel or dissolve

negative energy others absorb and or neutralize it but they should

all be cleared and thanked often for helping bring in the energies

and helping you with protection.

 

Spells and similar work such as the use of talismans and amulets is

primarily a means of assisting us in focusing our affirmations

and intentions and in harmonizing with the natural rhythm of the

Universe. There are a vast number of herbs and color and other

tools and correspondences used for protective work . The clarity of

your focus is more important than the tool you work with.

 

Here is an example of an affirmation or spell that many people

have found to be effective.

 

I, (your name here) command all and any forces and entities,

beneficial or not, to cease and desist from sending me physical,

emotional and spiritual feelings and pain from any other entity,

human or otherwise, from this moment on, for now and forever. Unless

I choose otherwise. So be it.

 

When a situation which seems like psychic attack or danger keep

reoccurring it is often because one has not dealt with that aspect of

their own karma / lessons / mission that has drawn the particular issue

into reality . Consider the principle that your environment is a

reflection of your inner unrecognized issues and/or springs from what

you have focused your attention on. .Look for areas where you may

be holding envy or resentment toward others . The Huna Process of Ho o

pono pono can be very valuable in releasing this kind of pattern in

relationships with others . releasing cords is also a useful practice.

I cannot say what is at the root of any particular situation is but I

have found that working on expiating and resolving ones own karma and

issues of like nature of dissolves the conflict with others.

 

The BEST psychic shield is to strengthen your own energy body.

to work consciously to heal and strengthen your own chakra,

meridians and aura on all levels and to learn to run energy

through your entire body of light. When you are mentally,

emotionally and spiritually whole and in tune with your soul purpose

and the natural flow of the universal

Rhythms you are automatically safe from all harm.

Thank you so much for this. They say when someone doesn't tell you about the

whole picture, they lie by omission. I have had a lot of information channelled

to me, but protection has always been difficult for me. I alwas felt so

vulnerable and open to attack. So many people want what I have as a result of

my own spiritual journey, yet they aren't willing to do the work for themselves.

They seem to think they can get spiritual by osmosis.

 

I work with people recovering from addictions and volunteer at our local

Detention Center and as a result, I am subject to a lot of energies, most of

them not exactly the most positive.

 

Also, having been a caretaker and caregiver for many years, I tend to be a

sucker for many sob stories, and it has been a difficult lesson in learning to

detach. That I can love the person, but not the action, which was a lesson I

had to learn to apply to my family as well as the people in my daily life.

 

Love Always,

As a healer, channeler and sensitive, I often find myself in the situations you

described in your mail, I would appreciate so much to hear about your learned

lesson!

Thank you!

And thanks to all the group, who shares so useful and bright information!

Dear Eve,

 

As children of God, everyone deserves a chance in this world, but as children we

can some times act out and do things that are not always pleasing. I believe if

God puts someone in my path, and they need help I have been directed to help. I

don't have to fix this person, I don't have to " make them all better " , I just

have to turn this person over to the God of my understanding.

 

I had an incident where a daughter of a close friend was sexually molested. I

knew the man, I continue to see him walking around free, and I had to learn to

detach. I don't have to like him, I don't have to condone his actions, I just

have to accept him as a person, recognize he is a very sick individual and pray

for him. You can't help those who don't want to help themselves or help those

who aren't open to change. I don't believe it is our job to play the " god " of

someone else's life.

 

I always say it is a contract between their God and my God as to what and how

much they are receiving. As much as I want to send love and forgiveness, they

will only receive as much as they are capable and willing to open themselves to.

As a Reiki person I know says, if they aren't open to receive, put it in a

little package close to them for when they are ready.

 

I was also asked to help someone who I thought to be untrustworthy, a person

whose associates were highly suspicious and I wasn't too sure of the motive and

intent. Yet I was aware he had an energy I need and visa versa, and we

exchanged healing, and I was able to put principles above personalities.

 

Love Always,

 

Butterfly

that was a lovely thing you wrote butterfly. I was wondering how someone

would know how to change or what to change into or that change is needed if they

are stuck in whatever they are doing. if one has always been in the dark, are

they not blinded by the light? just a thought. what do you say.

 

Eva

Just as the tree stands over time, may you too soak up earth's energies.

 

 

 

[Guest guest]

actually maybe i ll answer my own question. maybe one is never truly in the

dark for if that is what had been feeding and nurturing the person, then maybe

it is their light.

what if it is difficult to stay open and willing, butterfly?

 

peace.....

does any body believe truly, that we are all buddhas already? each and every

one of us... we are all consisted of planes that reach every where and

anywhere we want to be or go? i mean, maybe no one needs to be taught or need to

inderstand any more, ever again.... we don't need to feel anymore or look

anymore

or anything... we don t need to meditate, to work to go here or there... we

can if we want to , we can just be, do , we can worry we can just ddo anything

we want...becuase maybe its what we really want that is godly.

 

 

are we being led by our own god as we understand it, or are we being led by

each other's god, and it can mix and match to suit... are we on our highest

levels not already helping each other guiding each other. and at our lowest

levels too, setting roots. are our roots really like a tree? they may be free

moving and forever forming.

 

 

every thing that we dwell on, that we think about, look at, taste, comment

on, mentally think about, physically move... maybe there is someone on the end

of that. or maybe someone is listening, or feeling it.. in their own way...

like the butterfly effect... where a butterfly flaps its wings on one side of

the

world, it can cause a hurricane on the other side of the world. maybe it is

the restraining that is worrying us... the need for discipline.. the thought of

being incomplete. how do we know who is enlightened and who isn't.

enlightenement may itself have no form. no path no embodiment.. maybe we are all

enlightened already. to see enlightenement maybe to be seperate from it so as

to

look onto it... maybe those who don't feel enlightened are already enlightenend

and are living with it already. why do some people want to be enlightened. why

not live in a peaceful world where the struggle to become enlightened isn't

there. where people are already feeling free.... to move to breathe, to sit to

stand to talk to feel to know... how intricate a language made up of letters

how intricate a life made up of every little and large thing that we know

exists and ontop of that, everything that doesn't exist as well.. the

imagination.. it could overwhelm the senses for sure! although we are

sensing.... and i

know for one i can get lost in feeling it all and seeing it all and knowing what

is there and what isn't there.. through the people i ve met.. and at the end

of the day.. its whatever music you want to play... or are about to play or

will never play... whatever.

hello Butterfly,

 

I also learned along time ago, that I can love the person, but not the action.

And so many look at me and ask how that I can be that way. What is there not

to be ?

I apply this to all my family, friends and those that I am around at that given

moment. I have always been empathetic to all of the sob stories, heart ache and

more. And as I let go of their actions, and help them to let go, I have gained

strength and more love with each passing day. I thank you for your words.

 

Love & Light, Angelite

Dear Joanne - I had the same problem as you and couldn't undertand when I took

Reiki 3 by talking of " detachment " . Every time I raised someone's problem she

would counsel detachment. And she was right. I read somewhere that you can't

be the pied piper for the planet and you don't have the right to deflect someone

from their karmic path of learning. So I offer healing and crystals, trust that

in whatever way I work the Light flows through to activate the healing processes

of the person with whom I am working, and then release them to their own path

and life choices. I had to do this with my sick old father and it was one of

the most painful things I've ever done in my life, but I knew in my heart it was

the right thing. We need to be careful not to allow our egos to seduce us with

the idea that we are the " healers " . We are the channel and it is our choice to

let go. Perhaps if you have trouble with energies, you could ask yourself which

crystal spirit can help you with protective energies so that you only allow to

enter those energies you need. In this way, you ask for your highest good and

the highest good of the universe, but ask truly from your heart. Yes, you may be

receptive then to some negative energies, but perhaps you need to ask yourself

what the lesson is that they have been allowed to reach you. Remember, it is

always your choice and the Universe will support you in your choice - just ask

for the highest and your needs will be met.

Love and hugs, Mo.

Dear Eva,

 

That is a lot to digest at once, but my own thought when first reading it was we

all have the connectedness. It is about us being aware we have it, and how much

we utilize it when we get it.

 

Some people shut themselves off from the Light, others call on it as required,

and still others go to it before they do anything in their lives and ask for

help. I think it is in the moment in the day and again, freedom of choice. The

price was paid for my freedom. I have to learn to forgive myself on a daily

basis.

 

I can take flight like the butterfly and fly free, or I can become a prisoner of

my own mind. The only limits are ones I put on myself.

 

I have a web page: http://groups.msn.com/GETWHATYOUWANT (and leave the rest).

The primary purpose of this site is to make people aware. To let people know

they can be empowered to create their own universe, we are Co-Creators, when we

walk with the Spirit of the Universe, and I can create a new me, but as someone

said, God made us, so I am a masterpiece and we each have our own gifts and

capabilities.

 

I am a big lover of Zen, and as Osho says, there is a piece of me all over the

Universe. Life today for me, is what do I do in today to utilize those gifts

and get in touch with my creativity.

 

Love Always,

 

Butterfly aka Majesty
