To me grounding is to keep one's feelings of connections with the physical/earth. Protections would be to call upon a higher being or higher self or just to visualize a white light for protections while meditating or while out of body. Some people have a ritual or prayer they say every night before going to sleep, but to tell you the truth I don't do that hardly ever for I have always felt/sensed that I am being watch over anyways. Even when I was a small child and I would venture into the woods alone I was never afraid for I just knew that there was a presence around me keeping me safe. Even during the bulldogs attacking it was as though there was a 3 or 4 inch barrier there that they could not get past. During my whole childhood I was able to swim in the creek waters and ponds with water moccasins (sp) (those poisonous water snakes) swimming no more than a foot from me and I never got bit by one. When I lived in west Texas, I stepped right smack in the middle of a rattle snake and it did not even strike at me. I have also step on one of those water moccasins too, running through the woods when I was a child. Even when a hugh wildcat was right outside my window with nothing but the window screen between it and me, I did not feel I was in danger. That happened when I was about 19, I just laid very still and watch it and after a while it went on it's way. I know I wasn't dreaming either for my husband was right there beside me and whispered for me to look, but not move. That was really cool, to get to experience that. I have used the circle of protection on a few nights when I felt the presence of the neg entity and I have even use sage oil that last time. But even at that I didn't feel like I was in any real danger. I just didn't want to be hassled by it.  |

Hi guys!  I am an empath, so I use protection once in a while. Mostly what it involves for me, and also for my 9 yr old son, is putting up a shield or force field ahead of time if I know I am going to be around a lot of people and thus a lot of energy. For example, if i am going to a funeral, it would be important to do some kind of a protection technique ahead of time. Also, if I am going to be at the mall or like a craft fair, any place where there are alot of people around and I could potentially soak up unwanted energies. I recently discovered that, for me, protection is necessary at the Zoo, as well. (long story)  Of course, protection is good when you know negative energies will be around, but not just in that circumstance. For me anyway. the best, and easiest one I have found is this: (And i only found it because I was looking for something easy that my son could do. ) Visualize yourself pulling a blanket over your head. The blanket could be any colour, but mine is usually brown. Pull the blanket over your head and cover your entire self with it. Sometimes I have to do this twice, but it really works well. A new version of a protective bubble, I guess. Peace Serenity  |

Yes to all the above. Grounding is a connection to the earth energy, like having the wiring grounded. Protection can come from many sources, such as angel, guardian, your inner self.
For example I ground before doing any spellwork and/or during meditation. I protect myself from bad auras or bad energies just anything bad.

Very sool,
I will try this stuff!
An instant, on the spot, method I use to block unwanted energies, or energy drains, is to rub my hand on stomach, and say something like "I ate too much"..

LOLOLOrotflmfao. Sorry man that was to much for me. But the whole point is you rub your stomach? lololol. I can see it in my head gues thats what made it sooo funny.
Anyways welcome to or boards serenity. cool name. love the song, and the movie ,and of course the meaning and i have a garden like that sitting on my glass table. The input was great i was hopeing it was not some sort of secret hand gesture or mantra (ya i know there are mantras for that) or belly rub or something that i missed. So just to have the attitude of "stand by negs im not the guy you want to mess with" is not enough? i have crystals that say they protect is that enough. i guess i ask now because ive never really fealt invaded. Although when trying to project i do feel like im interupted sometimes and its not just by chance. CC i thought circles were only used for the craft? Again thanks and i hope to keep seeing comments it is an interesting topic.

Your energy is awesome to Osiris!
Yup, I rub my tummies and apply pressure.

Also the humour in it can maketh me smiles!

If I may answer, circles are not just for use in craft. Circle protection is probably one of the best protections around. You can make it as big or as small as you need it to be, the protection comes from your own energy so you know its good. Crystals are good amplifiers but some are not so great on their own as protection goes. When you project you should also be protected as much as possible. Bad stuff out there as you well know.

Hmm Ok is there a good spot to look here at other worlds already to learn more about circles? I scry also does that need protection?
Usually when working with projection i have a energy building meditation and i can feel a massive golden white energy around me is that good enough or more still?
I know attitude does alot but i also know that there are things out there more powerful than myself (maybe) no there are lol. So what else can you do besides circles and crystals (they sound weak anyways for protection)?

Depending on your beliefs you can ask for protection from your guardian, totem, god/goddess etc. I ask for protection from my Goddess when I scry, not from bad things but from outside/unecessary interference in whatever I am doing at the time (pendulum, runes, cards) Other than that it's up to the individual person. Circles are powerful because they are made from your own energy. Crystals on their own are weak but some make good amplifiers or focus points. Hope these suggestions help.
Blessed be

I've known about the circle of protection thing for a long time. I even knew about it as a child, maybe from a book or from my older brothers. Maybe, back when they taught my sister and I how to levitate. We actually did levitate each other off the floor with that light as a feather technique. There were some other things they taught us, but I can't remember them all. Anyways, in the gnosticweb course they taught two conjurations and the circle of protection. Jupiter conjuration is for when you are faced with a neg in the astral or physical. You hold your hand like a pistol with the ring and pinky finger bent towards you and the other two fingers point out and thumb up. You say the following three times: In the Name of Jupiter, Father of God, I conjure you, Te Vigos Cosilim. The other one is Bellilin (Bel--li--lin). You say it three times to before your try to astral project or when you feel you need protection and also before you do the circle of protection. It goes as follows: Bellilin, bellilin, bellilin, Amphora of salvation, I would like to be next to you, materialism has no strength next to me, Bellilin, bellilin, bellilin. As you visualize the circle of light around you, you say: My father please, order my elemental intercessor to wrap a magical circle of protection around me (or the bed or room or house, whichever you choose), so that no evil entity can harm me. Hehe! While I practiced with that I visualized the circle of light around me , the bed, the room, and my house. That neg was going to have to go through a lot of circles to get to me.  |

Very good techniques here!! I was on the search for grounding and protecting techniques not long ago as I have always worked unprotected. But since I started to seriously get into the nitty gritty on spiritual work I decide it would be a good idea to start protecting myself. I protect myself whenever i do any kind of work, whether it be readings, scrying, or remote viewing.. I found asking my guide for protection and communications, from the highest order given with Love. I thank My guide when i am finished and close off by visualising a big sturdy wooden White door closing on top of my head, it helps for grounding and then i make myself a cup of tea (very grounding) And anytime i have.... I get into the garden to do any type of work or no work to ground myself when i am feeling a bit airy. I also visualise a bubble when i want to protect the entire home and its occupants, I use pure white and Silver, The silver acts a a metal sheild and the white acts as a Spiritual sheild against Negs. I sonmetimes use the bubble when i am in public, because somedays i seem to pick up on everything and everyone. DB xx |

Thank you, I now wonder something. I had a night where it was recommended to me to picture a pyramid around myself. It worked soooo well ive been doing it ever since in fact i can just about sit anywhere or even walk and just feel and visualize it around me and it will send an instant burst of energy. If i continue it just builds like crazy. Is this the same idea? I know that the symbol of the circle and the pyramid inside of it is very common in alchemy maybe both is even better?
MM yes that is the stuff i was looking for cc,lady b, dancing bear thanks... I have seen that crystals are an awesome focus especially when you have had it around a while and right after its cleaned. maybe i could focus through one and make an even stronger circle.

My protection is simple, and I intend to keep it that way, unless I ever feel threatened in some way. I visualize energy shield around me, it's made of strong see through material, and it doesn't let bad energies in, while letting in good energies that come my way.
Those are some crazy stories, Linda! Back when I first started visualizing the shield, I could feel its effects physically. One day, my friend came to visit me, and I was very much asleep. I woke up from feeling somebody push me, like really strong energy sensation. I opened my eyes and he was there, sitting at the edge of my bed. He said he just came in and he didn't touch me. I guess my point is protection can be used as alert system as well.

It seems no matter how much you study and how much you practice simple always gets the job done. I like that aproach it has always worked in kundalini and with projection technique.
