In case you have problems visualizing, here is another, simpler and easier method of cleansing, but whereas the first method can be used anywhere, anytime, you would probably want to be alone if you use it. Start off by briskly rubbing your hands together. You should feel a slight tingling sensation in them. Use the same affirmations that you used in the above method. As you go to cleanse your body, use your hands as though you were brushing dust off of yourself, starting with your head and working your way to your feet. As you cleanse your soul, do the same thing, only brush off a surface an inch or two away from your body. And as you cleanse your body and soul, do it the same as cleansing your soul. Again, you will probabaly feel goosebumps or chills.

For raising your energies, think of the Christ Spirit as existing physicaly "above" your head. You can visualize it as a beautiful entity or simply as a glowing, white ball of light, either will work. Now say, either aloud or in thought, "I am one with the Christ Spirit, the Christ Spirit and I are one." As you repeat these words three or four times, picture yourself rising up (while the Christ Spirit lowers down) and merging with the Christ Spirit. And don't be surprised by goosebumps or chills here either.

When I really want to get my energies up there, I use the following. First an explanation. I think of the higest part of any human as being a godlike being. It is often easiest to visualize this as a glowing ball of golden light, larger and brighter than the Christ Spirit, and above the Christ Spirit. Now, what I do is to intone, in a monotone, much as though I were doing an "om" the following, "I AM THAT I AM," over an over while visualizing myself rising up and merging with that golden light. I continue until I feel that I have raised my energies high enough. Sometimes I feel almost as though I'm about to float away.

Finally, for general protection, you can call to the Archangel Michael. He uses a cross of blue flame to bar negative energies from outside. Years ago I had been told that I could call to him for protection and when I did, I was somewhat surprised to see the flaming blue crosses appear to the four sides, above and below me. Michael is also sometimes called Christ Michael.

Now to fill yourself and the room with white light, visualize that ball of white light above your head. Visualize and feel the light coming down in a beam and entering the top of your head. Feel the light filling your body and then spreading outward from you to fill the room. Note that this is a spiritual light and NOT a light from a light bulb or candle.
