Spiritual Protection Exercises

Are you often bothered by others' negativity or feel something is wrong with a person, place, or thing? There are ways to spiritually protect yourself anytime and anywhere without anyone else knowing it.

The Dragonfly

 

Pretend you are a dragonfly. Reach up and gently hold on to the tips of both wings. Now, bring them down and fold them around you. Imagine your wings draping you from your head to your toes. Do this a few times until you feel cocooned, safe, and warm.

 

 

The Two-Armed Cross

 

Your Solar Plexus chakra processes your feelings and gut reactions. Cross your arms over your chest (heart and upper stomach region) to avoid negative energy from draining you as much. You naturally do this without even thinking whenever you're afraid or anxious. It protects you from negative energies.

 

 

Putting On God's Armor

 

Pray. The power of the Creator (God, Spirit, Love) is stronger than any other force.

 

"My enemies come out at night, snarling like vicious dogs as they prowl the streets. They scavenge for food, but they go to sleep unsatisfied. But as for me, I will sing about your power. I will shout with joy each morning because of your unfailing love. For you have been my refuge, a place of safety in the day of distress." - Psalm 59: 14-16

 

You can visualize God's armor as a bright, loving light that covers you from your head to your toes and radiates out of your scalp, fingertips, and toes. You can envelope yourself in this healing light anytime you need energy or safety. You can bask in the light for as long as you need. Anytime you feel the light is dimming, visualize or feel it sliding over you from your head to your toes. Take a deep breath, and imagine it expanding around you as you breathe it out. 

 

 

Light & Mirrors

 

Imagine your body full of loving white or gold light that lights you up from the inside out, bursts from the tips of your fingers and toes, and swims around you like a warm blanket. Know in your heart that this is "god" in you. For extra protection, now imagine that you are wearing a velvet cloak with mirrors on the outer side. These mirrors can be a single sheet, many single ones, or in so many numbers that they glitter like diamonds. You decide. These mirrors are there to deflect any negativity sailing your way.
