Thank you for your patience, friends.  Regardless of my absence on this page, you have been present to me in spirit.  This morning I sat with the I Ching and asked spirit what to share with you, and I received for present #29 Dangerous Depths and for future, #43 Determination. It is great wisdom about taking risks and handling the danger inherent in some situations, especially where evil and negativity underlie human affairs. The following practice is very helpful to me; I hope you find it so.

A Protection Practice for Dealing With Negative Energy

Breathe your body and soul into a relaxed, safe space.  The meditations and music on the google play app Insight Timer https://insighttimer.com/ are helpful.

Call upon your personal angels if you know them, and on traditional ones: Raphael, Michael, Gabriel and Ariel.  If angels hold no meaning for you, invoke other protectors that do.

Ask them to surround you with divine light, creating a buffer zone of loving protection.  Ask them to let nothing pass through this zone, either from you or into you, that is not intended for the greatest good.  Imagine the divine light wrapping around you, warming you from inside out around you, before you, behind you, under you.

Rest in that protective embrace for awhile.  Make a conscious decision to try to dissipate negative attitudes in yourself before they pass through to others.  Sending loving kindness to yourself helps with this most human of struggles.

Throughout your day return to the safety of that light.

Be well, companions.
