Hello and welcome to this meditation for protection.
My name is Beth and I'll be guiding you.
First sit comfortably in a quiet place with your spine straight.
If you can find a spot in the sun,
All the better.
But wherever you find yourself,
Make sure you're comfortable and get in touch with your breathing.
Just notice.
What do you feel?
What sensations arise in response to the breath?
As the body begins to unwind and untie knots of tension all on its own,
Become aware of your connection with the earth.
You may feel her through your feet or through your seat,
But feel the earth as your foundation,
Your support.
And allow your body to relax into that support.
Now state your intention inwardly to create a shield of light around yourself.
One that lets love and all good things enter,
But one that remains impenetrable to energies that do not serve your highest good.
As your inhalations become longer and deeper,
Shift your attention and begin to breathe in a beautiful silvery light through the crown of your head.
Imagine as you breathe that this light is streaming powerfully from above you,
All sparkly and alive.
Pouring down now your central channel,
Right down the spine,
And radiating out in all directions.
This light carries information,
Anything and everything that you will ever need in whatever situation you happen to be in will be available to you.
This intelligent light pours into each energy center of the body,
Cleansing and fortifying it.
Feel this light spread now and inform every cell of your being,
Radiating like a sun all around you.
This shield of light reflects what is not you,
Bouncing it right off its surface.
But this shield opens to every good thing.
Love.
Compassion.
Joy.
Equanimity.
Reinforce this shell of protection now,
Expanding it with the breath to encompass whatever space you desire.
The area around your physical body,
The area of the room you're in,
The building or park in which you sit,
Or as big and wide as you can in this moment,
Further and further.
Know that you are now fully protected and ready for anything.
You can simply and easily bring your awareness back to this protective shell whenever necessary in order to stay in balance as you interact with people and your environment.
Know that even if your personal energy retreats in some kind of reaction,
This shell will not shrink.
It will stay firm,
Intelligent,
And in service to you.
Providing you the safe space to heal yourself.
Know you are safe.
Know you are strong.
Know you are loved.
That ends this meditation.
