Shielding

[image error]

Greetings,

Spirits are everywhere at this time of year. During Samhain (and Mabon), the veil between the worlds of the living and the dead is the most thinnest. Some people may be tempted to try seances or Ouija boards. Knowing how to shield yourself is very important. This post will show you some ways to shield. 

First, if you want to set up a shield around yourself or try divination, look around at the space you’re inhabiting. Put away toys, clothing, books or make the bed. Tidy up the space and smudge with sage wands. You could burn sweetgrass or palo santo. Try to get the smudge or smoke into every inch of your home. Fill all the space so the negative or stagnant energy has nowhere to hide. This pushes it away, leaving the space clear for you to achieve your goal. 

You can try asperging or sprinkling water infused with an herbal remedy around the room, especially in the corners. That is where negativity likes to reside so be sure to get into the corners. If you really have a problem with bad energy, then try this trick. It’s an old Italian spell. You get a fresh lemon and lots and lots of pins, some yarn and a pair of scissors. Sit down and begin stabbing the lemon with the pins. As you do, visualize your intent and chant all the while working in the pins. When you’re done, and the lemon is full of pins, tie the yarn ( try to have it in a matching color), and make a loop with the yarn tied around the lemon. Then hang it up in a spot in your home for a year to absorb the negativity. 

Regularly burn sage or another smudge to keep down the bad energy in your home. Time it with the moon phases. Sprinkle salt on your windowsills, and doorways. Samhain is an ideal time to stock up on sage, salt, lemons and frankincense, all of which I believe keep energies clear. If you want to contact spirits, keep the energies clear. It’s like having a good clean screen on your TV for watching shows. You don’t want a muddy or frazzled screen. 

If you want to use an Ouija board, meditate beforehand on a shield around yourself. Cast a circle of protection. Put salt in a circle around yourself and the spirit board. Yes do this because any bad energy or entity can come through and you can’t always determine the outcome so be careful. Please don’t pull the stunts like people do on those Youtube videos. You’re better than that. If you won’t take these cautious steps, ask yourself if you should be using an Ouija board. Unless you want a dark entity in your home. Good luck banishing it. If you want to have a spirit board, brush up on how to do a banishing before ever using one and be sure you know how to shield yourself. Once you are confident you can do that, then approach spirit boards. If you feel fear, then you are not ready. The entities will know and feed off of your fear. 

I have watched several episodes of Ghost Adventures. They know what they are doing and even have a disclaimer on their show. You have to be careful with this stuff. Be careful and use common sense. Demonic possession is not cool and they are hard to get rid of. It could ruin your life. 

This is how I would put a shield around myself. I have confidence in myself. I have very little fear. I sit down and meditate. I concentrate- after grounding and centering, on a shield around myself which ranges from a dragon’s egg to a bright sparkly aura around myself. I am studying Shielding at Sacred Mists. I am a lot better at shielding now than I was when I started the extension course. I can see the shield expanding or growing and even in layers and textures. So once you are adept at all this, then I would try spirit boards. Even Jedis get training. It’s for a reason. It prepares you for what is out there. You are a beacon of light to the entities but you don’t want to attract the wrong ones. A stitch in time saves nine is a good expression here. 

Keep visualizing the shield around yourself. Don’t try it once. If you are serious about working with spirits, this should be part of your daily routine or practice. I dated someone for a short time who claimed that an entity attacked him while sleeping. It was the same apartment building that he lived in where I had an experience in another apartment within the same building. I was once visiting a guy I knew and we were watching telly. We were the only living mortals in that apartment but we weren’t alone. I saw someone ( a man in clothing like a shirt and pants) sit down in another room of his. But Mark was seated at the telly. This is how well I can see earthbound spirits. It may have been the same entity in Richard’s apartment. The ghost never bothered me probably because I scare it. I am not boasting. I know how to shield. 

So unless I was hallucinating, which I highly doubt, as I know, not guess, know that I am clairvoyant, I have witnessed an earthbound ghost in the apartment building. Shield yourself well and concentrate on what is for your Highest Good and you should have no problems. Good luck spirit conjuring.
