WHITE LIGHT PROTECTION FOR SELF

Any work involving healing, energy and magick should be done under protection of some kind. Here is a very simple visualization ritual to protect yourself with white light.

WHAT TO DO

• When you feel the need for extra protection, take a few deep breaths until you feel relaxed. Close your eyes and visualize white light surrounding you like a cocoon, starting from the soles for your feet all the way up your body and covering your head.

• As you visualize, repeat:

I am protected by white light. Nothing can harm me.

• When you feel ready, proceed with your work.

BASIC PROTECTION FOR BEGINNERS

This is a basic, simple protection ritual that works well, especially if you are new to spellwork and rituals. This activity will strengthen your self-protection muscles and can be paired with more advanced rituals as you become more experienced.

WHAT TO DO

• Center and ground. Visualize the earth's energy moving into your body through your feet and upward into you core.

• Now visualize this energy expanding outward and forming a protective bubble on all six sides of your body.

• To lock in this energy, say something like:

I invoke my personal shield. No danger or ill befalls me safe within its protection.

• This shield remains for hours, weakening as the day goes on. Use your intuition to see if you need to reinforce any weak spots.

An energy shield like this is good because it allows you to access energy both inside your bubble, and outside of it if you wish to connect with others.

HONE YOUR SKILLS

The more you practice, the better you will become at managing your protective shield. A great exercise is to practice lowering and raising your shield quickly, in case you need to unexpectedly reach outside to connect with something or someone outside.

GROUNDING EXERCISE

Grounding is an important part of our self-care. We are spiritual beings having a human experience. From time-to-time, our vibrations shift and our spirit bodies take over, thus loosening our rootedness to the earth realm. This dynamic manifests as light headedness, excessive daydreaming, forgetfulness, and clumsiness (among other things). People who engage in spiritual work (healing, readings, channeling, clearing, etc.) can be particularly susceptible to this condition. One activity to quickly ground your energy is a brisk walk outside while holding a lighted stick of incense. Amber, frankincense, Nag Champa, or anything that feels right.

PREPARE FOR SPIRITUAL WORK

Take ample time before your ritual to select a special soap, bath salt, or herbal bath for your pre-ritual cleansing. You don't have to bathe right before your ritual. Some people bathe the night before. Work with your own schedule. If you like, dress your bath with candles, essential oils, flower petals, etc. Adding crystals to a bath can call in powerful energy (caution: some crystals are damaged by water or salt like selenite, malachite, kyanite, lapis lazuli).

• Clear the space by sweeping, mopping, and/or vacuuming the room. Walk clockwise around the room with a smudge bundle, making sure to get smoke in every corner and closet. If you prefer, use a rattle, bell, drum or other noisemaker to loosen and remove stagnant energy. After you remove unwanted energy, make sure you do a meditation or visualization to fill the space with positive energy.

• Wear specific colors to support your ritual.

  • White - cleansing, understanding, spiritual growth, establishing order, clarity

  • Black - transformation, banishing and releasing negative energy

  • Red - love spells, health rituals

  • Orange - encouragement, power

  • Yellow - communication, divination
