Spiritual Protection Exercises

Are you often bothered by others' negativity or a sense of something wrong about a person, place, or thing? They're are ways to protect yourself spiritually, no matter where you are, without anyone knowing.

The Dragonfly

 

Pretend you are a dragonfly. Reach up and gently hold on to the tips of both wings. Now, bring them down and fold them around you. Imagine your wings enveloping you from head to toe. Do this a few times until you feel cocooned, safe, and warm.

 

 

The Two-Armed Cross

 

Your Solar Plexus chakra processes your feelings and gut reactions. To avoid negative energy from draining you as much, cross your arms over your chest (heart and upper stomach region). You naturally do this without even thinking whenever you're afraid or anxious. It protects you from negative energies.

 

 

Putting On God's Armor

 

Pray. The power of the Creator (God, Spirit, Love) is more potent than any other force.
 
"My enemies come out at night, snarling like vicious dogs as they prowl the streets. They scavenge for food, but they go to sleep unsatisfied. But as for me, I will sing about your power. I will shout with joy each morning because of your unfailing love. For you have been my refuge, a place of safety in the day of distress." - Psalm 59: 14-16

 

You can visualize God's armor as a bright, loving light that covers you from head to toe, radiating from your scalp, fingertips, and toes. You can envelop yourself in this healing light anytime you feel the need for energy or a sense of safety. You can bask in the light for as long as you need. Whenever you think the light is dimming, visualize or sense it sliding over you from your head to your toes. Please take a deep breath and, as you exhale, imagine it expanding outward around you. 

 

 

Light & Mirrors

 

Imagine your body full of loving white or gold light that lights you up from the inside out, bursts from the tips of your fingers and toes, and swims around you like a warm blanket. Know in your heart that this is "god" in you. For extra protection, imagine wearing a velvet cloak with a mirrored outer side. These mirrors can be a single sheet, multiple single ones, or in such large numbers that they glitter like diamonds. You decide. These mirrors are there to deflect any negativity sailing your way.
