What you know: protection with the tools you have

The idea at the heart of this classProtection and non-resistance

Protection and non-resistance A lit seated figure sits inside a large circle that marks its field. First a peach cord under the figure widens from narrow to twice, then four times as wide, until it covers the torso. Then a gold sun appears above, and the circle fills with gold from the bottom up while its edge traces on. Then the sun narrows and settles into the crown as a gold flower. Then energy arrives from four sides in turn: lilac lines from behind, coming down on the right of the head, blue lines from the right, rose lines from the front, coming down on the left, and green lines from the left. Each family of six curves bends like iron filings round the outline of the body, never touching it, and joins the wide cord below the seat; it runs with light, then rests in a deeper tone while the next arrives. Last everything is still: the crown is gold and one slow light runs down the cord.

This class’s practice

Protection with what you know

6 steps, playing in turn. Choose a number to hold one.

Make the grounding twice as big, then four times as big, to cover the whole torso. The grounding itself is a protection.

00:30 to 01:32

Bring attention into the room, then into the center of the head. Send any pressure or dullness down the grounding.

02:02 to 03:06

Picture a bubble of space about two feet around, above and below you, and ground it. It is like a planet's atmosphere.

03:36 to 05:11

Fill the space and body with a gold sun of your own energy. Filling your space leaves no room for other energy.

05:43 to 07:28

Open the feet chakras and run fresh earth energy up the legs to the first chakra and back down the grounding.

07:59 to 08:33

Add cosmic through a comfortably open crown, blend it with earth energy, let it flow out the top and hands, and observe from head center.

Basics 6.1, 00:30 to 10:19

Protection as the tools used together: grounding, a filled field and non-resistance.The grounding, four times as wide The field, filled with your own gold Energy arriving: in, through and down The four colors of the lines only tell the four sides apart: right, behind, left and front. Gold is the exercise color; every other color is a drawing choice.
Not foughtIn, through, outWhat arrives moves through the field and leaves down the grounding.
Not foreverAt this momentThe exercise closes with non-resistance for now, not a permanent state.

Protection is drawn as movement through grounding and a filled field, not as hardness.

Grounding, head-center attention, running energy and a field filled with your own gold work together as protection, with the field acting like a planet's atmosphere.

Grounding and attention are already protection

Ideas hereChakrasGrounding

Protection begins with the tools already learned. Create a grounding cord from the first chakra to the center of the earth. Then make it twice as big, destroy and remake it, and make it four times as big so the whole torso is grounded.

Grounding protects because it gives energy somewhere to go. Energy already inside you can move down the cord. Energy currently moving toward you can also be directed down into the earth, where it is neutralized.

Then locate attention. Wherever attention is, that is where you are. Bring it into the room, then into the center of the head. If the head feels pressured or dull, send that excess down the grounding so there is more room for you in the seat of awareness.

A field is an atmosphere, filled by its inhabitant

Ideas hereAura and layersGoldProtection and non-resistance

From the center of the head, notice the space around the body. Personal space may be diffuse and spread many feet out. Set it at about two feet below, above and around the body, as a sphere of energy.

This field is not decoration. It is a place for life force to rest. Ground the field so energy in it can leave before it reaches the body. The aura can work like an atmosphere around a planet: something entering the atmosphere does not have to land on the surface.

Fill the field with a gold sun of your own energy. Fill it like a glass of water until the space is inhabited by you. Then shine the same gold into the body: legs, arms, torso, face, neck and head.

When your space is full of your energy, there is less room for other energy to enter and stay. Filling up is protection because it makes the field yours.

Movement completes the review

Ideas hereChakrasEarth and cosmic energyGrounding

Running energy completes the protection system:

  1. Open the feet chakras.
  2. Draw fresh earth energy from the earth into the feet.
  3. Let it move through feet, legs and first chakra.
  4. Let it return down the grounding.
  5. Open the crown to a comfortable level.
  6. Draw in fresh cosmic energy.
  7. Let it spin in the seventh chakra, move down the back channels and blend at the first chakra.
  8. Send about ten percent cosmic down with earth and about ten percent earth up the front with cosmic.
  9. Let the flow fountain out the crown and branch through arms, hands and hand chakras.

Observe from the center of the head. Grounding, head-center attention, owning space with gold and running earth and cosmic energy are already a protection system.
