White light protection

[foreverforaging]

Does any use this? If so, can you explain how it works/has worked for you?

I've recently started doing a guide meditation for protection. I have had all sorts of problems in the past. I'm an empath and seem to absorb everything.

I'm still in contact with an old boss. We are good friends but every time I see him he tries it on with me (I'm married). I make a joke of it but it really pisses me off. I saw him a few weeks ago and although he attempted to kiss me (unsuccessfully!) I sensed things had changed. I came away thinking I didn't actually like him that much. He emails me fairly regularly but has gone unusually quiet which I am actually quite glad about.

Does this sound like protection at work?

" We are good friends but every time I see him he tries it on with me"

Really? you are "good friends" despite this sleasy behaviour?

[foreverforaging]

I know, it's ridiculous, isn't it? It's always more of a Benny Hill sketch than Bond film. I usually end up slapping him.

I did come away thinking that I didn't like him very much for that very reason. It was funny to start with and now it feels a bit slimy.

I can't answer your question, but I'm interested in hearing about your meditation.

sounds like he finally got the hint.

suggest you choose better friends in future.

I don't know about 'meditating for protection'

But what I would say is that if you are focussing on the things in your life that you are unhappy about, and considering how you can change them, it isn't surprising that you have spotted the fact that this 'friend' is actually a sleazeball.

If he has decided to back off, it is because he could see the difference in your reaction to his behaviour, and has realised that you aren't available for his 'fun' any more.

Good for you, and if meditating is helping you be more aware and assertive then it's a good thing.

But I don't think it's anything 'woo' at work.

Thank you for your comments.

I wasn't really asking for advice about him. He always hopes he's going to get a kiss at the end of the night. I've always thought he was a bit harmless - a bit like an annoying uncle! I guess I have just started to see the situation through different eyes the last couple of times we have been out.

It's by TheHonestGuys. All their stuff is amazing.

This is what I was trying to get at. White light protection is supposed to protect against negative energy. A very wise friend suggested I do it years ago when I was having problems with a toxic person at work. Needless to say, I didn't do it at the time!

It sounds as if whatever meditation you are doing is helping you deal with the problem of 'absorbing everything' which is not healthy. There is a difference between noticing emotion in a room which can be really good when working with lots of people people and taking that emotion on for yourself.

You might want to look at cold reading which is all about learning body language. There is probably a better name for it but I know occupational therapists working with the elderly and stage magicians who use it. Once you start to get your eye for body language is absolutely fascinating and if you are a natural anyway you have a head start.

I've recently come across Bowen Theory which talks about differentiation of self which I think describes the 'absorbing everything' which you are describing. Might be worth a look.

Good luck!

I recommend platinum or gold instead of white.

As we interact with others we create energetic cordings with others and these cannot also be seen but they can be felt, via our emotions - ever been in a power struggle with another person?

If and when you start to shield your aura and command your own energy as fully yours, I am sure you will perceive changes in your life and those around you. The connections with this man are to be learnt from. Choose the path which would have you knowing your own mind, and not being distracted by another.

Best of luck

I have used white light protection, creating a shield around me, the other name for it in the Christian faith, is the whole armour of Christ. I've found it works when I ask God to protect me in this way.

I am an empath too and I find that regular grounding as well as white light protection is a useful tool against feeling over whelmed and also prior to meditation or any kind of psychic/healing work. If you google "grounding" you will find lots of information on the subject and one of the easiest ways of doing it is to visualise roots growing out of the soles of your feet and down into the earth

Interested in this thread...hope you don't mind if I mark my place, OP.

I do this and also the grounding. I especially need this if I'm going into crowds of people or have to deal with a negative person.
I also had to do it when we had some odd activity in our house last year but that's a whole other thread.
