Grounding, Centering and Shielding

Shielding through intent

Shielding is quite simple; it's harder to remember to do it.
Shielding is done through intent. Imagine yourself surrounded by a blue egg of light or it can be white light; whatever feels comfortable to you. Some people visualize wearing a cloak or coat of mirrors, so that whatever energy is sent their way is reflected; only personal energy and Divine (crown chakra) and Earth energy are allowed within this "egg."

Shielding is particularly important for anyone who does energy healing work with others. It's not an "insult" to the person being helped, but protects you from "taking on" any issues (unwanted energy) of the client and protects them from the same.

Since the "shield" is clear or permeable, allowing healing energy to pass through, the work is done without impediment. Consider it only a "strainer" of unwanted energetic debris. And, always, when finishing energy work, be sure to "seal" the client's aura, and ask the Creator to remove any "debris" or "footprints" from both the client and yourself, to be returned where they belong or transmuted for positive good. Whenever we are going through emotional shifts, as the current Earth changes are causing through our entrainment with the Earth and Sun, we can be distracted or vulnerable to having our personal energy field disrupted or "taking on" unwanted energy.

It is important to remember to be grounded, to be centered, and to shield in group situations or when faced with situations where our energetic systems may be at risk.

If you do not act with discernment in this way, keeping your being impeccable, coyote is always waiting to play a trick on you and teach you the lesson of being the spiritual warrior you must be in order to grow, develop, advance. All our lessons are built upon the other; if we do not keep our energetic bodies intact, we run the risk of having the rug pulled out from under us until we can reconstruct and rebuild our vibrational level to where we want it to be: advancing and progressing.

Stay protected, stay grounded, keep centered.

Remember: Butt & Gut: Put your butt on a rock and breathe!

Aho.
