Spiritual Protection Methods

A coworker asked: "Do you do any self-protection meditations or visualizations before working with clients?"

1. Reiki shielding (using particular symbols for protection in the auric and chakra areas),
2. Asking angels, like Archangel Michael who is known as the protector angel to come be in front of me
3. Asking the higher spiritual beings, angels like Raphael (a healing Archangel) and/or power of God to come do the work for me, and to stand between the client and myself
4. Wearing a head covering to shield my crown chakra
5. Doing the healing by distance without touch, or even doing it by phone to use space a shield
6. Doing particular cleansing prayers that I have learned before and after the session so that I don't carry any energy to or from the client, and also so I am strong and centered in my energy before beginning
7. Eating enough to ground myself before the session
8. Using essential oils such as Purification, or burning sage near the client during the session or afterwards
9. Visualizing various shields such as gloves, barriers, cleansing vacuums, etc. in the space as protection in the unseen realm
10. Visualizing a sea in the astral realm to dump the client's unwanted energies into so that they don't stick around
11. Taking a pause if I feel overwhelmed by energy
12. Using my breath to move energy out of my body and energy in the air around me
