I’ve been practicing Witchcraft for ten years now and have had the pleasure of meeting many interesting people. My path has introduced me to mediums, clairvoyants, psychics, shamans and other witches to name but a few. It’s amazing that there are such a diverse range of skills and abilities out there in the world, all working for the greater good of the planet. However, one thing that has shocked me a little is the number of people who fail to see the importance of the most basic skill; shielding.
It’s not very exciting and doesn’t produce any cool, visible results; so people don’t bother to spend any time learning how to do. Can I please stress that it’s the most important magical skill you’ll ever learn! It doesn’t matter which particular path you walk, this rule applies equally. When we work, our souls shine out like beacons in the astral world, and there are negative souls and entities that like nothing more than to corrupt those of us who work for the light. We can also be subject to psychic attack, or be drained by psychic vampires who like to feed on energy and emotions.
There are lots of ways to create a shield and I encourage you to read about it online and in books. Find a method that works for you and use it daily to get yourself into the habit, and give you the experience to create a shield at will. In this article I will show you how to construct a multi-layer shield that you can call on at any time you feel you need protection.
- Sit comfortably and close your eyes, taking deep, calming breaths to focus and centre yourself.
- Imagine roots spreading from your feet down into the earth and feel the energies drawing into yourself and your centre (just below the belly button). Let the earth energies recharge your centre and flood out into your body.
- Now imagine a strand of white light coming down from the heavens into your head. Pull it down to your centre and allow it to recharge with universal energies, and then let it flood out into your body.
- Focus on your centre – a ball of intense energy just below your belly button. Imagine pink light forming and then push it out in a sphere around your body. Fill it with unconditional love. Only unconditional love can pass this barrier.
- Bring your attention back to your centre and imagine blue energy and push this into a sphere just beyond the pink. Use your intent to charge this energy as a barrier against negative energies. None may pass.
- Again, come back to your centre and imagine a grid forming like the lines on a globe. Push this out beyond the blue sphere. With your intent programme this layer to continually draw energy from the universe to keep the shield powered and charged.
- Finally imagine golden energy and push this beyond the grid, using your mind make the gold sphere shiny like a mirror. This will reflect all harm and negativity away from you. Keep focusing and imagine lightning bolts swirling over the surface ready to lash out against any stronger attacks.
- Now, focus on the layers and charge them fully. Ask the shield to stay with you and activate when needed. When you are happy your shield is ready, imagine it shrink to the size of a golf ball and move to hover over your left shoulder. You can call it whenever you need it.
So, there is a magically constructed shield to help keep you from harm. I would advise that you go through this charging process once a week to keep it strong and ready. It will also help with your powers of intent, visualisation and focus.
Once made, it’s a great tool to have around as it will charge from universal energy once activated, leaving you free to work as you want. Alternatively, you can it place around you to keep you safe while you sleep.
