Happy Boxing Day!
Ever wonder why sometimes you feel drained of your
energy under certain
circumstances such as: being a sounding board for
someone, after doing a difficult
reading using whatever tool of divination, after
conducting a healing session or as
innocent as being pushed in a crowd?
Sometimes being aware of your psychic abilities
open channels that have been
dormant, this also invites all forms of unwanted
energies unseen by the human eye. It
is easy to get carried away and forget the possible
dangers you are exposed to when
doing psychic work. However, this possibility should
not discourage anyone from
developing their psychic abilities.It is a matter
of preparation before and after doing any
psychic work.
Simple words like "grounding", preparation
and protection can do wonders to protect
you.
Why the need for psychic protection when you are
doing something good for others
with a clear conscience and the best intentions?
You know you are not doing any
harm, nor trigger a karmic reaction- yet, why ?
The path to psychic development and spirituality
opens up a whole new world, You are
tapping into the unknown , unknown and different
energies and cosmic influence. This
process opens up your subtle bodies in a way that
you have never done before. You
become aware of new energies, open your aura to
receive more influences, and this
combination spells power and could be unnerving
at times.
When you start to recognize these different energies
and fully open your chakras, you
will probably notice a great change in you. You
get that feeling of positivity , exude an
aura of confidence, even have that "glow"
in your face.This may take sometime to
show; it could serve as a measure of your progress.
STRENGTHENING YOUR ENERGY FIELD
Energy field that is invisible to the human eye
is all around. Science has proven this. The best
you can do is to be aware of these external forces
in the environment that is
present yet invisible. There are simple steps to
protect your energy from being
absorbed by another, which could result in physical,
emotional or mental imbalance.
Aren’t there times when you feel drained after
listening to the tales of woe of another? When the
presence of a particular person makes you feel uncomfortable?
Sometimes you wonder how did you get "sucked"
into something you don’t care about? What
about those sudden grips of anxiety? These are samples
of intrusion into your energy field. Some refer
to these fields as Auric field. Continued exposure
is not healthy, it is draining, and yet, simple
enough to deal with.
STEPS TO PSYCHIC PROTECTION:
Exercise, fresh air, meditation, good nutrition
and hygiene.This sets you off to a good start.For
those who are engaged in healing, counselling and
like professions, it is easy to get entangled in
clients’ problems. Protection is important
to maintain positive emotional objectivity. Protect
yourself, cleanse the energy field before and after
a session.
Today, there are all kinds of tools in the market-
add to above aroma therapy, herbal and oil essence,
music, candle power, just to name a few.

THE CLEANSING VORTEX
This is a visualization exercise for cleansing and
purifying the entire auric field.
It is very helpful for one who has had a bad day,
when you interacted with a lot of people and beginning
to feel drained, good to release all the unwanted
energies accumulated through the day.
This exercise helps sweep out energy debris, preventing
it from accumulating and thereby creating imbalance.
Steps: This is a guideline;you can modify to suit
your style.
i. Sit down comfortably, do some breathing exercise,
in preparation.
ii. Above your crown chakra, in your mind’s
eye, visualize a small
whirlwind of crystalline white fire beginning to
form, liken to spiritual tornado. As it takes on
a funnel shape, enlarge it enough to fill in your
auric field. The small end of the funnel now enters
through the crown of your head, pass down through
the middle pillar of your body.
iii. This whirlwind of spiritual fire should be
seen as rotating and spinning clockwise. See, feel
and imagine it moving down sweeping off all the
unwanted debris accumulated throughout the day.
iv. See this vortex exit out through your feet down
into earth itself, this is carrying down the debris
into the lower realms and lower kingdoms.
PURE WHITE LIGHT/ WATERFALL
For those who are able to visualize, this is another
way to protect yourself, just imagine yourself under
the protection of the white light or under the waterfall.
Lastly, always remember to ground, cleanse, open
and close your channels before and after psychic
work.
GROUNDING
by Bonnie Moss 2003-04
Going around in circles? You can't seem to get
going?
You feel too much clutter in your brain.This is
not unusual if you are not grounded. In this busy
world,
it is important to learn how to get "grounded".
Grounding is gaining more attention lately.
Grounding is essential in any kind of spiritual
work,
as well as in everyday life. Grounding is showing
man's respect and connection to the earth's energies.
Think of it like the electrical grounding system
of
every house.
GROUNDING helps in centering and focusing on the
body
and to live in the present. This process fosters
a feeling of stability in moments of insecurity,
it offers a calming effect when emotions are running
high; it leaves you in peace and in harmony within
and with the world around you. Grounding is about
gathering together all of your energies - mental,
emotional and physical,calming your thoughts
and feelings to bring about inner harmony and balance.
METHODS OF GROUNDING
Sit comfortably and close your eyes.
Place your hands on your thighs.
Focus your attention on your body.
Begin with your feet. Then slowly, and thoroughly,
move your awareness up through your legs, thighs,
torso , arms, neck and head.
Focus on your breathing.
Imagine that you are surrounded by light.
As you breathe in, inhale this light, and
feel your body filling with it.
As you breathe out, exhale any tension, any pain
you may feel in your face, your shoulders, your
body
Inhale Light
Exhale tension until you are relaxed and calm.
METHOD B
Picture tiny roots coming from the soles of your
feet.
Feel them growing and growing,
all the way down into the Earth
Visualize your roots wriggling deep,
deep into the ground, taking hold there and
connecting you securely to the centre of the Earth.
Now bring your attention to the
top of your head, to your crown.
Visualize this spot,
which is about an inch and a half in diameter,
beginning to open.
From this opening fibers are emerging,
long filaments reaching up like branches
throughout the ceiling all the way up
through the building.
Breathe in both streams of energy
up from Earth and down from Heaven.
When you are ready,
come aware of your body again,
of where you are sitting,
slowly open your eyes.
Look around you.
Notice any differences
in the way your body feels.
Be sure to enter anything in your psychic journal.
CENTERING
Centering is a good exercise if you find meditation
difficult and it will, over a period of time
enable you to select what needs attention both
in the everyday world and in decison-making
as well as spiritually.
METHOD
Inhale slowly and saying a word such as peace,
love or harmony, silently on your in-breath
so that you extend every syllable,
then exhale the word out loud,
Repeat this at least 8 times and you will be centered.
STILLING THE MIND
This enables you to switch from your everyday
mode to a higher state of conciousness.
It can also be used as a form of psychic protection.
Still your body by going to your special
outdoor/indoor space. Do nothing except listen
to your breathing - do not try to control,
count or change the rhythm. If thoughts intrude,
gently push them away as though launching
a toy boat on a pond. Picture a sky full of stars
and watch them going out one by one
until you are enclosed with
IF you find you suffer from being ungrounded
a lot you may be a sensitive. It is a good
idea for sensitives to avoid alcohol, tobacco,
drugs and vegetarian diets. A small amount of meat
and large amounts of legumes are good for grounding.
If you wish, you can imagine or visualize a
cord of energy traveling from the centre of your
body
to the centre of the earth.
This can also work if you cannot get outside.
Keep in mind:
it may takes WEEKS of consistent grounding
before you begin to feel yourself again,
especially if you are particularly sensitive.
Any psychic work you do, any emotional trauma,
will make you ungrounded again. This practice
is something you must make part of your lifestyle.
The three psychic stages of grounding,
centering and stilling the mind can be used
separately or in sequence.
