Protection

[Magenta]

I've tried the Pyramid one.....but for some reason, like you couldn't get on with the light thing, I couldn't get on with that one!

I guess it seemed a bit wrong to me as it was an angular shape and I prefer smoother surfaces....a bubble seems less angular if you get what I mean!!!.....lol....probably not as I'm no good a explaining what I mean!!!

[idaho]

the piramid does take a bit of working at and is best done in a meditation .

[Magenta]

Oh I could imagine it!!....and cast it fine, but I never felt completly protected......I guess because its such a hard shape (not hard as in "difficult to do" but hard as in "hard unfriendly surface"....not that I'm saying it's unfriendly, but you know what I mean!!....lol) I just never got on with it.....but thats just me!! Different things work for different people.....if it didn't then this would be a very boring place.....lol

[idaho]

you are right but its good to share knowledge as what works for one does not always sit well with others.

[Magenta]

exactly!!......I couldn't have put it better myself!

I know that some people do have problems doing their protection, is there any easier way for them to do it.

And when you imagine yourself in a bubble of bright light, are you in the bubble with the bubble around you or looking at yourself in the bubble, does that make sense.

[Magenta]

No it more imagining yourself with the bubble around you.....it's really hard to explain isn't it!!!!.....lol.....ok this is the way I do it.....when I close my eyes I imagin the bubble starting at the top of my head and expanding down my body until I am completely covered.......I suppose you do kind of see yourself from the outside when you imagin the bubble emerging but everyone does it differently.

There are easier ways of protecting yourself and they are in the forms of Amulets and talisman's etc. Which you can make out of many things, charge them and then wear them for protection. These are great but it is the same principle of belief again....if you don't believe then it won't work!

I hope I have made sense!!......lol

try this it may help but for these type of protections are for meditive state of mind the more you do it the more its reinforcd in to you

This is a highly recommended way to protect yourself from any and all negativity that
may be directed toward you.

• Find a place where you can be quiet and undisturbed for a few minutes.
• Quiet your mind and your body. To do this, close your eyes and take three long, slow deep breaths. As you do this, say to yourself I quiet my mind, 1 quiet my body".
• Begin to concentrate on filling your body with the perfect White Light of protection that comes from your Creator.
• Another way to state this might be: I call upon my Guardian Angels and my Spirit Guides to surround my presence with the protection of the White Light and to make it so that any and all negative energy can never penetrate this protection".
• Do not be discouraged if your mind wanders. Just bring your thoughts back and continue on. Mentally fill your body with this Light until you sense that it has been accomplished. Then expand this perfect White Light out and around your body until you are totally surrounded by it.
• Now, imagine that there is a protective shield around this bubble of Light a shield that will only allow loving and positive influences to penetrate it. All negativity is repelled and bounces back to its source transformed into positive and loving energy.
• Continue to do this for three to five minutes. Then slowly bring yourself back and open your eyes.

Do this White Light meditation on a regular daily basis as often as possible. This is
not a "magic formula that automatically "works" just because you say it. It must be
allowed to enter into your core belief Used on a daily basis, it becomes stronger and
stronger until you can feel it as a true part of your self that goes beyond belief and
becomes a knowing.

This process has been used by many, many people. If any part of this does not set well
with you, feel free to modify it in accordance with your core belief.

Here is a short meditative prayer (from Unity) you might consider:

The Light of God surrounds me. The Love of God enfolds me. Thepower of God protects me. The presence of God watches over wherever I am, God is

Thankyou Magenta and Idaho, that helps a lot.

There are other protective techniques but are of a similar theme, one consisting of surrounding oneself with mirrors mentally to refect negativity so to speak, another in the same vein is using shields.

The white light theory is simply an all encompassing light source that contains all the colours of the spectrum, giving one a 'total' coverage so to speak.

As magenta rightly says it's also the 'purity' aspect associated with it.

The fundamentals of protection are that if you believe in it strongly enough, you will be fine, the belief being crucial to the process.

I see the white light/bubble is very popular lol not to mention a classic...I meditate, visualizing a magnificent dome, its perfect rounded walls and ceiling made of the radiant white light or a golden sword, holding the sword up in front of my body, so that the hilt forms a cross over my "third eye" between and slightly above my eyebrows, and the blade extends like a sheild of strength and protection down the length of my body, intimidating and deflecting the inherent cowardice of the Dark Side

As for physical protection, I opt for my rosarys

[Magenta]

I have to admit, if I'm going to be doing anything that requires me protecting myself, I use a pysical item as well as a protective circle.

I have a delicate pentacle knecklace which my mum made for me out of a pair of earings (so she has the other one) for my 21st birthday and I will always wear that as a talismen as well........although they don't stop me from jumping
20ft in the air and swearing very loudly when doors bang right next to me !!!......lol....eh Laura?!!!!

[Lauraakafoxy]

You screamed so loud you made me jump ! lol

Do you have a copy of the report from that anywhere? Mine was on the old pc which is now in the spirit world. lol

That door didn't half rattle tho - although we cant use the footage to show you due to the huge amount of very loud swearing and you need the sound to hear the door lol psml ;D

[Magenta]

Yeah sorry about that!!!........I'll try to curb my language next time!!!....but it didn't half make me jump!!!......lmao!!!!!!!!

I do have a copy of the report, I'll give it to you when you come in Feb.....and maybe we'll get some new footage then too.....footage where I'm not swearing!!!......lol........I suppose you could beep it out!!!!!.......lol......but they'd be a lot of beeps!!!!.........lol

After finding a local ghost hunters group and asking if I can join in a future vigil, I am now wandering what is the best way to protect myself when I'm terrible at meditation and in "imagining" myself in a spritual bubble. Also, I'm not religious at all, so prayer seems out of the question.

I like the idea of talismans, but when it is something that I buy at a new age store or otherwise, I think purchase of an item invalidates any spiritual / warding aspect of an item. I'd rather make it on my own, so that at least the item has some special meaning only to myself.

Does anybody have any suggestions in what I should do in order to protect myself before going to a vigel?

I do have a wand which I made from some drifting seawood that I found several summers ago and it's not spiffed up with crystals or anything. I keep it in my display case because it looks far better than any "machined" product. Would waving the wand around work to ward off the dark and sinister work, or am I totally off base?
