A4. Tower of Light Shield This technique surrounds you with the light of truth, the light of the universe. Evil or negative forces can not bear this light. This method is usually non-mobile (doesn't move around with you although it can) and fixed upon your location. This technique strengthens and energizes your shield and yourself. It is a very effective method of protection. 1. Relax and breathe deeply. (Keep this up throughout the exercise) 2. Relax your whole body 3. Stand erect, arms at your side (can be sitting or lying down though) 4. Visualize the point of pure light within your center expand until it extends about 9 inches from your body. 5. See directly about your head, your crown chakrah, a globe of brilliant white light 6. From the globe, send a beam of pure light out into the universe, the collective unconscious, the source of all things, the sun, and ask that you be allowed to tap into its energy. 7. See a column of brilliant white light, the light of truth, flow down from the universe, completely surrounding you, filling you with its essence. 8. See the column edges solidify to the point where nothing can pass through them. 9. See the light of truth radiating from the you and the column. Know that you are surrounded by perfect love, truth and purity. You are completely protected. 10. Maintain the shield as long as needed. When finished, see the column of light turn transparent, fading from view - the shield is still present but can not be seen. See the light of the universe flow back up into the heavens and as it goes send a packet of energy back filling it with your gratitude and appreciation thanking the universal force for its help. See the line you sent out return to you. A5. Tower of Light shield, fast method You do not always have the luxury of spending lots of time building or calling a shield. It is unlikely that if something attacks that you could say, "Hey, could you hold off attacking me for a few moments while I put my shields up?" The fast method does not require preparation. 1. Call your sphere of light into being 2. Send the line to the universe asking for help 3. See the column of universal light surround you and solidify into a perfect shield 4. When done, let the light return, sending with it your thanks and gratitude. Basically, you don't take time to relax, you put up your sphere of light and yell for help
