PSYCHIC SELF DEFENSE by Amanda Hunt

To write this article I went online and looked for different suggestions for spells to use for psychic self-defense. From putting salt in the corners and using runes. To sprinkling a little rosemary, or even plant sage. You name it, people recommend it for protection. I am not saying don ’ t do it that way, besides it’ s always fun to do magic. For me magic is like coloring or artwork it makes you feel good in a “ being a kid, ” kind of way.

That feeling of wonder with a new toy or getting to watch one of your favorite shows or the first time you ride your bike. It ’ s a joy that has a playful feel and gives, ME anyway, such a charge. For those who have done magic you know what I am talking about and for those who haven ’ t you should try it you ’ ll love it. It could
be something as simple as a spell for success using one of those twenty-five cent orange candles. In my years of studying and research what I have realized is that the candle or tool simply allows you to do what I like to call “ let go, let universe. ” It is a stress relief because it lets you think, “ well, I am not going have to worry about that because the candle is handling it. ” In other words knowing that the spell is taking care of it frees you to use that energy for other things. A release and a mini mental vacation from your worries or concerns.

The problem is I have a tendency to use preparation or needing tools and supplies as a way to procrastinate; “ well I don ’ t have any candles so I can ’ t do that money spell. ” The magic I want to talk about is protection. I am talking about a little technique I like to call “ shield ’ s up." Like when Captain Kirk says shields up and that white bubble forms around his spaceship. You could even tap your wrist as you mentally activate it if that helps. Whatever puts the intention in your mind. I use or see a white light bubble. Just a bubble of white light I like to think of as a dark filter. Not allowing anything but light or good to come through and filtering out the
dark. the energy and focus with your imagination.

When my sister does protection she sees strings of white light going around and around her like individual threads of light. And though it is about belief and intention I have found that you do need to actually visualize and see it in your minds eye not just assume it ’ s there. You have to take a moment to create the energy and focus with your imagination. The trick to shielding is the more you shield yourself and your possessions the more it becomes automatic. You will find yourself doing it in situations were you feel unsafe without even thinking about it kind of like how you would automatically throw your hands up to shield your face if someone or something was hitting you.

One day I was sitting on my porch and a neighborhood guy who was kind of odd anyway, started walking towards my son and I as if he was going to say hi. I don ’ t know why but something told me to put a shield in his path in case he had some kind of harm or bad intention toward us. So I mentally visualized a white light wall about six feet in front of me and about three feet in front of him. I visualized it slamming down between us. He literally stopped in his tracks, turned around and walked the other way about a foot before he hit it without saying a word to me. It was like he had not even seen us. And the fascinating part about it was I had never felt a threat from the guy before; I thought he was an odd bird but was not afraid of him. He must have had some kind of negative intention because all I thought of with the wall of light was not letting anything dark get through.

I didn ’ t buy any candles or herbs or do any elaborate spells it was just a simple visualization and setting an intention mentally. As a light worker or a psychic or anyone just walking down the street, the more protection you have the better off you will be. Why not have a little extra armor or protection when it takes so little extra effort on your part. Especially since the more you do it the better you get at it and the stronger it is. The walls of light can be used around your house or your car. I shield my son and my pets and if I am in someone else’s car, especially if they are a bad driver, I automatically put the shields up. It is best when doing this kind of work to go with what works for you. If you can ’ t picture a bubble but can picture a square go with that. If it’s strings of light like my sister sees, then use that. It is your intention and what you are trying to do that
matters not the how. We are exposed to people and situations with energies that we don’t want clinging to us or impacting us.
