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.
