Protection Grounding And Shielding

There are many ways of protection, grounding and shielding yourself. There is no absolute one way for everyone to do this or meditate, other than bringing Light into you, surrounding you, centering yourself, grounding and using shields for added protection.

You will find through your development certain stages you go through. If you are in the process of beginning to awaken, you need very much to discipline yourself in using Protection, Grounding, shields and meditating, bringing in Light, clearing/cleaning out old issues, ideas, and belief systems which no longer resonate with you or serve you.

So in the beginning it is best to always use Protection, Grounding, Shields daily as well as in meditating and any work your doing through a disciplined way. This will allow you to 'feel' the energies of Light, the Unconditional Love, Peace, Harmony and At One Ment with all things. It will also help to 'lighten' your physical body. This is a cleansing process and one of enlightenment. Doing this will open the doors for your evolvement. Allowing the information within you of who you are and why your here to come forth to your conscious level.

Using protection, grounding and shields itself brings the Light into you and gives you many opportunities throughout the day to view things in a different way. It anchors you in the Light allowing you in any experience to choose your words and actions through understanding, Love and the connectedness to all things.

One of the basic reasons why those who try to dominate and control others, even those who are abusive do these things is because they have forgotten about the Light and how to bring it in. They search for those they can manipulate and gain power/energy from instead of going to the Universal Flow Of Energy. They miss this 'manna,' the sustenance of life in every form. The only way they see of acquiring energy is through pulling it from others.

When we begin to bring in more Light daily, our understanding of ourself and others deepens. We realize even more about free-will, choices, the rights of everyone that we share in, and we begin to not judge others so much as we understand all are at different levels of growth.

Chakra Protection-

One of the best forms is using the Chakra Protection by bringing Light into you, filling your body, spine, Chakras and sending the energy out the tailbone deep into Mother Earth to ground you. You can bring this energy back up through the spine and out the top of your head in a fountain of rainbow colors, while simulataneously seeing the shaft of Light coming into your Crown Chakra from the Universal Flow Of Energy. You don't have to know the names of the Chakras to do this or even where their located, you simply tell the Light to fill them with its energies.

Any form of Protection you use will bring the feeling of Unconditional Love, Peace, Harmony, Beauty and Joy for you to feel on a deeper level than you normally do throughout your day.

Pure White Light Protection-

Another form of protection is using the Pure White Light (Universal Flow Of Energy) to completely surround you like a cocoon or egg shell. Feeling the Unconditional Love and protection. This often too will allow the Light to enter you or simply ask it to and it will flow throughout you as well as surround your body. In your Mind's Eye see this shaft of Light come down to you and completely surrounding your body from head to under your feet. You can also feel this Light going into your body and filling you with Light, or you can bring it in through the top of your head (Crown Chakra) and simultaneously surrounding your body.

Natures Protection-

A wonderful and beautiful way of protection is to look outside and see the beauty of Nature there or go outside if weather permits. The trees, grass, land, flowers, shrubs, animals, birds and feel the deep connection to each one. Feel the Light which connects you to each that flows through and is around everything, even in the air we breathe. Feel the Unconditional Love, peace, harmony, security this brings and the At One Ment. Touch a tree, a plant, flower or one of your pets. Feel the earth beneath your feet and sense the 'life-giving' energy to all things, the nuturing and love...

Your Personal Private Place-

Your personal private place can be anything you've seen or one you imagine and see either in your Mind's Eye. This could be a place which you remember in your childhood. One which you went to that no one knew about.

It could be your Grandparents home, a church, a meadow, down by a lake or body of water, or you could create a place. A Garden is a beautiful one to create. Whichever you use, make sure you go around to things, touch them, 'feel' them and the texture, smell aromas or flowers, and always send love and feel it returned. Your private place should make you feel totally and completely protected, secure in that nothing can penetrate it or come through. In a Garden for instance you can create a high wall that surrounds it. In Nature, its the Pure Love which protects you and the connectedness, At One Ness with all things whether its your garden, a meadow, or anyplace you create.

The Light Within You

The Silence-

Each of us are a Divine Being of Light. We have this Light within us where our Divine spirit and that of Spirit dwells together. This is wherever you 'feel' the center of your very Being is.

It can be located either in your heart, head or Solar Plexus region, wherever you 'feel' the energy is greatest and it will pull you there. We usually use the Solar Plexus as the center which is more commonly used and you'll feel this light behind and slightly above your navel. Simply feel or in your Mind's Eye see this Light and feel the Unconditional Love, Peace and Harmony flowing from it. Expand it outward to fill your body and feel the Pure Love flowing through you, in every part of yourself. Now expand it out again to completely surround you like an egg shell. Feel the nurturing Love and warmth in its protection.

Throughout the day we have special 'moments' and take this time also to protect yourself and feel the Unconditional Love flowing through and from you.

Pets, Family, Home Protection-

Hold and or pet your pet/s and feel the love for them, send them Unconditional Love and watch as they look at you with loving eyes and send it back...'feel' this and the connectedness to them, the beauty, harmony, peace and joy it brings to you. Feel the connectedness to them and all life forms and the 'energy' which is in everything. Watch your children, give them a hug and feel the Love for them well up within you..or do this with your spouse, or merely think of them in this way...feel the Unconditional Love and connectedness to them and everything...the At One Ment...the Pure Joy which comes from this.

Your Home & Family-

Look around your home and see some of the things which you and/or your spouse has done to create comfort, peace, harmony and beauty. Feel the love from this and how it makes each family member happy.

Be thankful for your home, all the things you have in it, the care you give to it, stop and feel the love here...know that each thing and person is a part of your home, now 'feel' the connectedness from each thing, pet, plant and person, see in your Mind's Eye the energy of the Pure White Unconditional Love flowing through all...bring it into you through your Heart Center and let it expand outward to completely fill your body.

Other Ways-

There are many ways and forms of protection, reading a joke poems or book, which brings such delight to you and joy...feel the love and emanate it, let it surround you completely giving the protection from the Pure White Unconditional Love, feel the warmth from this and the all consuming Love thats flowing within you.

Sometimes others do things for us which we don't ask for....take this time to send them Love, feel the joy and warmth which they have given you through this and let it flow through you. Feel the connectedness to all things....let this Light of Unconditional Love flow in and out of you...let it surround you and feel the warmth and protection it gives you.

Movies, music and artforms. Whenever you 'feel' something from any of this that touches your heart, open to it and 'feel' the love flowing, allow it fill your body and expand it outward to embrace and surround you completely. Give thanks for the things you have learned and experienced in your life...find the beauty, peace, harmony and love in whatever you have learned, felt, experienced and are now doing...

No matter what is taking place around you, always feel the Love....let it flow through you, expand it and allow it to encompass you, 'feeling' the connectedness to all in existence. The more you do this and allow the Light to enter you, surround and protect you, the more you will lighten yourself, coming to understand the meaning of life and why your here, why you involve yourself with others and share your worlds together.

The Body Unit-

We look at different parts and aspects of ourselves. We have a physical body and 7 layers or Sheaths to our Aura. We have an emotional, mental, physical and spiritual body. Within our physical body are worlds of living things/beings....we call them cells. Each has the knowledge of itself, its beginning and where its going as well as all knowledge of us, past lives and the present one.

So when we bring in Light, its good to include giving this Light to all the above and sending our love to each of them. This helps unify us into a whole, a One....Simply send your Love to them and ask that they open and fill with this Light. You will also feel the love returned to you.

Grounding-

Doing all of the above is also a form of grounding. Understand in any of this you are feeling the Universal Flow Of Energy, the Pure Unconditional Love in all things, whether it be physical or those things which you may not see but can sense/feel. So this energy is also in physical things and once you've connected to that idea and realize this, you are also 'grounding' yourself too!

Some forms of grounding aside from this is essential, particularly regarding whatever we're doing at the time. Astral Projection for instance, you would definitely want to use extra grounding methods.

Ground With Roots-

After you use your protection, in your Mind's Eye send that energy down through your tailbone deep into Mother Earth. Send Love to Her....and feel it returned. Now bring the energy back up and see it coming from the ground as large roots like the ones you find around trees. Have them wrap around your ankles and you can bring them up to your knees or hips if you want. You can also bring the energy back up through your tailbone and out the top of your head (Crown Chakra) in a rainbow of colors cascading down all around you.

While outside or walking you can send energy out the soles of your feet (chakras) into Mother Earth and anchor it there. Have you ever wondered why you see dogs, cats and farm animals laying on the ground? They are literally anchoring their energy to Mother Earth through their chakras. Their grounding themselves. You can do this too by sitting on the ground or standing either way. You can send the energy into the earth as in the above through your feet or from your tailbone to anchor. Many times when we touch plants, trees, grass or earth while in the garden, feeling their texture, seeing the beauty and feeling the connectedness to them this too is grounding.

Drinking water will help ground you. It is crystalline based and crystals hold the Light...If your working sometime either meditating, doing Readings or healings, or even in a class and you feel dizzy, disorientated, this is due to the amount of energy your bringing in which your physical body may not be adjusted to yet. So drink some water, eat a snack, read or do anything physical along with this and it will help ground you and alleviate these symptoms. For those of you who are knew to learning these things, its always best to use protection along with some form of grounding. As in the above those Pure Energies coming in requires a period of adjustment for your body to make.

Some who are just awakening and come into chatrooms such as this one will feel the energies here, which are beautiful, but they may get a sudden headache, feel dizzy, have light nausea and/or confusion, disorientated is some of the symptoms of having too much Light enter at one time. Understand that when everyone's energy is emanated in chatrooms or any room for that matter, its multiplied by the amount of people there.

Always use protection and grounding when working, even meditating or going into chatrooms.

Shielding-

For those who are empathic and very sensitive its always best to also use a shield of energy. This allows you to keep all energies on the outside of your own. You will still be able to sense and know what those outside energies are. In fact you will pick up more information that may help you and others by doing this. If you allow energies to enter you from others, you may not always know for certain that they aren't yours.

Shields are needed in early development and particularly when shopping. A shopping mall can be a frightful experience for a sensitive empath! They can easily get an immediate headache, pains very sharp in the head/brain area. Nausea, confusion, dizzy, tiredness, and often depression. They may sense and feel some of the things others are emanating so deeply and think that their coming from themselves.

So until you reach a certain point that you keep these energies outside of yourself, and do it automatically its best to use shields. Their easy to put up and only takes seconds. In certain work we do, even those advanced will use shields.

You can program a shield to do whatever form of protection you wish. Always state to the shield, "Only Pure Love may enter and only Pure Love may leave from me." Understand too what the last means.

For instance if for some reason you become upset and/or negative, you will need to reinformce that shield after ridding yourself of it. Remember you've told the shield that only 'Pure Love may leave me,' so anything not of Pure Love will remain in your energies. You can also program the shield to allow these ill-feelings/thoughts to be sent out by you to be purified, and then reinforce your shield. Also warnings can be programmed in them to let you know when outside energies are coming to you. Programming them to let you know when theres a message from your Guides, Teachers, Angels or information in Channeling is coming through.

Program your shields to let you know when theres negativity around or in a room that your in or will be entering. As soon as you receive information of outside energies coming your way, then reinforce your shield/s. Understand energy itself can be used to perform all kinds of tasks, and all you have to do is tell the energy what to do. Thats what we do in healing, or sending Love and thoughts/feelings to another. All in existence is basic energy.

Shields themselves do much to protect us and keep vibrations from penetrating to our Auras. When you form a shield it is best to understand precisely what it is your doing. You don't just say the words out loud or to yourself and see the shield as it is forming by you. You 'feel' it, the shield itself as well. You 'mean everything you are saying', literally 'mean' it. Say it with emotion, and desire to be protected fully and completely and have the shield give you information about the incoming energies.

Now you can program these shields to keep all energies outside for you to view. Just say that, "Keep all energies outside of the shields for me to view". You can also make up a signal of some kind for the shield to know when you have 'incoming' vibrations coming to you. This too will give you time to reinforce the shield and also to make it stronger while you ascertain the energies, their source and problems connected with them. Remember energy programming can be compared to programing a computer. It will do precisely what you program it to do. So be exact in what you want.

You can create a shield to help enhance your abilities too! You can use the shield to send out energy to sense another with ... picking up from their energies what they need to learn for their growth at this time. Once those energies are brought back, you can view them and use your intuition in sensing. All these energies remember are on the outside of your own. So you won't be affected by anything negative.

Remember your Guides can give you messages at anytime when you are open to them. They can also send a message to your shield, letting you know they have a message for you. So even if we're busy at the moment we'll know our Guides are wanting to communicate with us. This helps us when we begin to Channel information.

All of the Higher Aspects of yourself on up to your Higher Self will still be able to give you messages and help you. Remember they are spirit and of Pure Love.

Creating Your Shield-

You need to be shielded 24/7. Do this first thing in the morning, reinforce it around noon and redo it again just before bedtime.

You can use any of the color shields and put one over the other. Like at bedtime you can use the Blue shield and put the Indigo over it to shield your Light. It also may help in remembering your dreams and where you've gone to.

You can put one around and each of your family members, also around your bedroom and theirs, as well as all the rooms in the home if you wish. You don't have to be in each room to do this...see it in your Mind's Eye and create it.

You can also put one around the house, just remember to start the sphere under the house next to the ground. The same can be done with your car and any vechicle, start on the ground underneath them.

Meaning of Colors In Shields

Blue Protective Shield- usually used for Protection You may sit, stand or lay down while doing this. Close your eyes and in your mind's eye see a sphere of Royal Blue color of bright Light under your feet. Now expand this sphere outward and upward to the top of your head to encompass you totally like a sphere or egg shape. Say this, "Only Pure Love can come to me, only Pure Love can go from me." You will feel the Unconditional Love wrap around you and protecting you. You may also program the shield at this time too. You are now protected. This color shield is the same color of the Cape that Archangel Michael wears and is one of pure protection. You may also call upon Him at any time to protect you. He is the Archangel for the site here and will be instantly by your side if you need Him.

Indigo- is an excellent color for a shield as it blocks most of your light so that spirits passing by won't immediately see it and go on. Its good to use anytime your having problems and particularly at night while you sleep. This color also helps heal the body, and will rejuvenate your energies, its great to use when tired. Your Guides will have no problem, or Angels, Teachers etc. in connecting with you...It also is one that brings a revitalizing of energy to the person and will amplify their own energy. Sometimes will put this up over the Blue in preparing for sleep.

The Gold- mesh color is wonderful for a high protection shield particularly if one is having problems with someone sending them unwanted energies of any kind. It won't allow them to enter. It too is a high vibratory rate color. It often will reflect the energies back from where they came from.

The Clear- color which looks much like clear Quartz or the white of an uncooked egg is one of the best to use. All negative or ill thoughts/feelings sent to a person who has this shield up will bounce right off of it and back to who sent it, and you can ask the energies simply be purified by the Universal Flow Of Energy in stead of sending it back. Its actually the highest in vibratory rate and is the pure color of the Universal Flow of Energy that permeates throughout all in existence and has absolutely no color to it. Some Warriors use this as an outside shield over other shields as it reacts similar to the mirror shield.

Black- as a shield is not used much by anyone as there seems to be so many who think its a negative and bad color. When in actuality it is one of shielding to be hidden and sometimes used in cloaking ones colors and who they are. Nothing at all can penetrate it no matter how good the psychic or medium. It brings a calmness and serenity like a pool of water without waves or ripples in it.

Silver- is also good to use and is connected to the moon, feminine qualities and its energies of the Mother. Very nurturing, caring and protective. It also will bring an enhancement of ones intuition and abilities. Sometimes this shield and the Gold Mesh is used together.
