Protection techniques

[alley]

Well gang it's time to discuss protection techniques for negative energies.  I have a number of methods that I use.
 I will draw the master symbol, then step into it and feel it's warm protecting energy.  I will put CKR in front of my solar plexis or I will put a pink, golden or blue bubble around myself.  If I feel negative energy coming from one person in particular, I will throw pretty pink snowballs towards them. These are all helpful ways of difusing energies that I prefer to avoid.
Other ideas for our members to read about please fellow posters.

Alley,

I assume that when you're throwing pink snowballs at them it's purely in your head hey

But seriously, I'm not very good at the visualising stuff (maybe it will come with time ) but I do ask, when performing reiki, that all negative energies be channelled through me down to earth and returned as healing energy.

I am finding the imagining of roots down to earth much easier now so I guess it's just a matter of time, patience and getting some time alone with my thoughts

Actually Alley, for me and for people who haven't done it, can you go into a bit more detail about how you do this.

Thanks

Jenn

Well all...I go straight  to the source for my protection. I believe that God/Goddess is protecting me always but just to make sure   I ask for a sheild of White Light Protection...period. Now I guess if you want to know the Reiki way... I use the CKR symbol in the air. If its a whole room I use it in each corner and ask it to spread the positive loving energy through out and push any negativity out and into the light. If I want to let go of negative ties to someone or something I ask for help from my Spirit Guide and Reiki Guide and or Angels. They can see the ties where I can't. I then ask to seal the empty space with White Light... I send all negativity back to where it comes with love and light...Hope this helps.....Blessings...jeanie

Hi everyone,
      This is my first ever post so you'll have to tell me to stop if I go off on irrelevant tangents like I seem to do in my E-mails! he he

      When I was younger, and taking my first few steps in to actualising my awareness of spiritual worlds this is the kind of thing I'd do if I ever felt that negative energy was getting to me:
One time in particular I remember was when I broke up with someone who bought a lot of negativity in my life - I could actually feel at times a droning ache in my stomach making me feel trapped. Anyway, I felt this particularly at night when I was alone - so one night I relaxed myself and drew on the four corners of my bed the Runic sign for protection (which is an upside down ban the bomb sign without the circle - interestingly enough) I then visualised a bubble forming over me as I was going to sleep, it was before I was attuned to Level one Reiki. That helped. The only other time I've tried to protect myself was a bottle necklace I bought from a witchy stall, which (no pun intended) had lots of ingredients in - herbs, sulfur.
 
    I hope that helps someone!
Thanks for reading,
Chris

Chris,
thanks so much for posting, that was a really insightful and what a brilliant intuition you have.  The solar plexis is the center of self-esteem, you are sensitive to feel that. I am so impressed with your sharing that I must give you a karma point, keep posting your insights and experiences.

Thanks guys,

I'm feeling a bit negative today and have just put CKR into my heart in the hope it will help.

Any ideas for the headache then?

Jenn

[druidicbalance]

Hey, thats a really kewl idea! (the karma points) Thanks Alley, I will keep posting  

     Jenn, the last time I had a headache my flatmate told me this mini-massage/acupressure you can do - it really helped, and it can feel tingley sometimes as if a sensor is being triggered, anyway, here it is: If you place the end of your thumbs lightly on your temples, then with your index fingers just gently "pitter patter" your forehead around your third eye chakra. I just tried it again now between typing and I can sense a warmth around the front of my head. The "pitter patter" part can be used aswell on the head (more easily done on another) as part of a head massage. When I've had before it done it gave a lovely cascading warm shiver.

    If you try any of my suggestions I'd be interested to know how you got on, whether you get the same effect, or anything different, or nothing at all.  

Hope it helps!
Chris

This one needs to be read by newbies I think

Well gang it's time to discuss protection techniques for negative energies

Well Jenn,

you're really going to have us posting like busy little beavers.

Like Alley and yourself, I use the same techniques, i.e. visualizing my self growing roots and returning all negative or as I prefer, all energies that are not necessary for me to Gaia (mother earth) and ask that she use them for the good of all.

I also like to visualize myself covered or surrounded by a purple ball of protection allowing only postive or energies that I need to penetrate and to prevent all that is not necessary for me to enter.

To this effect there is a daily excercise that I use first thing in the morning to protect myself for the day. It has to do with grounding ones self, taking energy and protecting themselves for the day.

Another technique that I use is to bring my energy/aura up close to my physical body, this I do by visualization.
It is said that our aura can extend an arms length away from our physical body,  I have actually verified people whose aura extends way further than that, close to a 10 foot diameter. Well, when your that "open" you can not help but to affect other peoples energy levels or prevent others to affect yours. So by bringing my aura close up to my physical body (about 3-4 inches) I protect myself from others.

There you have it , my 2 cents.

Love and Light

Dom

[Jenn]

Dom,

What an excellent 2 cents too

Thanks

I agree with all the techniques....everything works as long as you have the right "intent" as we know.

For daily protection I wave my hand over my head to create a white light but for heavy-duty days when I know I will be around a lot of bad energy I visualize myself  surrounded by mirrors...if anyone sends negative energy my way, the enrergy reflects off the mirrors transfmorming into positive energy and is then sent back to the sender...works really well. Maybe I heard that one here!  I use that one when I go into crowded places like malls....too much energy makes me very tense..the mirrors do the trick every time.

P. S.  I am glad to be back on-line with you all.

[alley]

Angel the mirror technique is a great idea!! thanks for that, I know just who I'll use it with.

[Jenn]

Angel,

Good to see you back too

The mirror thing does sound interesting, I have a couple of places where I could use that, the hockey arena being one

Thanks

Greetings,

I grew up doing the tree meditation. My most current practice is once I feel Reiki resonating within my body, I take a few breaths, expanding the resonance until I feel it in my feet. Once its there, I know I'm grounded.

To protect myself from negativity. I intend that Reiki fills me and burns away negativity and that Reiki form a shield around me that  that allows no negativity between me and the other.

Peace to You All,

Sean

Hi, I use the CKR also, and step into it. I also like to protect the food I eat by using the symbols. I use visual techniques for travel. And, with permision, for loved ones when they are faced with a troublesome situation.
  I must say, this is a wonderful, loving, site. I could spend hours here if I could.   Blessings, Phonenix

Please can some one explain in a bit more graphic detail. Alley and others say they draw CKR and 'step' into it. Jenn "Placed" CKR into her heart. In another thread I was advised to "sign" CKR reversed. Does this all happen in my head? Do I actually draw this on the ground in a shape which I then 'step' into? Do I draw on paper and lay on the area I want it to help with. Sorry for this question, the answers to which which may appear obvious to many. The simplest things are often taken for granted by those who know, but cause the most concern for those learning.   When I did the treatment two days ago, I had the book open next to me and concentrated on the symbols as I did it. Was I meant to draw them on the subject? I have done the tongue on the roof of the mouth thing but look for guidance of hints as to what else to do. I know that in a previous thread I have also been told not to worry about the symbols too much but they must count for something otherwise whats the point of having them in the first place.

Tony, For protection, I like to draw the symbol in the air in front of me and feel it in my aura.  I can recall the image whenever I need it, I feel it ,see or imagine it.

 I  draw the symbol with my whole hand in a "conductor type" of sweeping motion, if that gives you a better idea.

When I am working on someone with an "emotion issue" I  draw the symbol  Sei He Ki over the crown chakra, then I imagine or visualize it sinking into the chakra and I put my hand over it and hold it there while feeling the Reiki pulsing out of my palm.  I will hold it in for up to twenty minutes if the reciever is having a problem.  I like to use the same sweeping motion for drawing the symbol.
I also really like the tongue method, but don't use it much.
Hope this helps a bit.

Tony,

I think Intent is the most important thing. But I actually draw the symbols. As in I might draw it in the air in front of me with either my finger or my hand. Sometimes I draw them with my physical eyes or beam them with my third eye.  Even draw them on the roof of my mouth and breath Reiki.

As for stepping into a symbol, you imagine/envision the symbol.

The only limitation we have is imagination.

I guess a structured way to go about it would be to draw a symbol in your hand or in the air in front of you and see how it feels.

Draw one on the palm of each hand and hold your hands close together (in the gassho position) and just let Reiki flow, see how the symbol feels, let it fill you.

Peace to You,

Sean

<snip> Hi, I use the CKR also, and step into it. <snip>

I've read this several times here - what do you mean by "step into it"? Do you draw it in the air and then... ?

[Phonenix]

Hi Eternalstudent, Yes, I draw CKR in front of me, with my whole hand, then I just step forward, and visualize enveloping myself in this beautiful symbol as if it was a blanket! You can also picture this symbol and blanket, in any of the chakra colors, to give energy to that area.  Bright Blessings, Phonenix
