The enemy is fear. We think it is hate; but it is fear.

WHAT CAN BE DONE TO PREVENT ANY KIND
OF ENERGY ATTACHING TO ME IN THE FUTURE?

Protection from energy attachment comes with increased awareness and understanding. By your very intent and will, and the taking of full and complete responsibility for your own motives, intentions, emotions, desires, thoughts, behaviors and actions, you have taken the most important step possible. There is a need to understand the importance of learning to protect one’s integrity rather than the need to defend one’s thoughts. Fear allows the entrance of others into our field of self identification, and trust does not. Discovering, facing and understanding your greatest fears can help you turn them into your greatest strengths. Creating a positive life reality and establishing a sense of peace and harmony in your home and
working environment is a necessary step for complete protection. The increased strength of your aura and a strong immune system will also be of great benefit. Declaring your space sacred and 100% yours is important. Being drug and alcohol free, and maintaining good physical health is very important as well. Knowing your personal boundaries or preferences, and honoring them, makes you less susceptible to attachment (you can be caring and compassionate, yet not allow any outside interference). Absence of anger, depression, grief, and most of the mental and emotional states already covered in prior sections, will prevent many types of energy attachments.

SPECIFIC WAYS TO PROTECT YOURSELF

There are literally hundreds of ways to personally protect yourself. The following are a small selection of many available techniques. Feel free to change them or combine them. The most important thing to remember is your awareness, will and intent are your first and strongest lines of defense. There is no correct or right way. Pick the one most suited to your own particular way of being, the one that feels right for you. Honor your own process and the spirit of who you truly are.

THE PERSONAL GRID PROTECTION

The protection method I most commonly suggest and teach is the personal protection grid. Now, just relax and as you relax, imagine warm and spiritual light emanating from your heart area. It will usually be a white, yellow, blue or purple light or combination, and is very soft and warm. And as you imagine your light in your heart, push it throughout all of your body until you are totally filled with your spiritual heart light. Now, focus and push your light out until it radiates six inches from your body, all around your body. Next imagine, focus and push your light out six inches more until it’s totally surrounding you in one foot of heart light. Now, take some time, take a few deep breaths and be with your light and push it out until it glows two feet around you. Again, take time to be centered,breathe and focus, and push out your heart light another foot until a beautiful cocoon of light totally surrounds your body, bathing your body in three feet of heart light. Now, imagine a grid system on the outside of your cocoon. It might look like squares or diamonds, any shape is just perfect. Your grid system will act as a shield so any time anything negative may come close to your space, your grid system will close into an impenetrable shield. Your grid system will only allow positive feelings, energy and experiences into your space. It will automatically close if anything negative approaches, night or day. Your grid system does this for you, automatically and effortlessly.

Now, look up with your spiritual eyes and there is a beautiful light which shines upon you. As you feel its healing energy, become aware of a universal grid system woven in the light. Understand how you fit into this universal grid and plug your personal grid system into this universal grid, in the perfect place. As you plug in, feel the flow of energy between the two grids energizing you, and enhancing your protection and strength. You are now a part of the universal continuum of energy and you are protected from any type of energy which exists in any reality which may be inappropriate. Your grid effortlessly opens to loving, positive feelings and experiences and closes instantly to anything unhealthy which may approach your mental, emotional, physical or spiritual bodies.
