Communication Protection
Channeling, Divination, Astral Travel, etc
Just as it is important to protect one's self in any endeavor, whether putting your seat belt on, a bike helmet, or simply locking your doors, protection in spiritwork is just as important and essential.
From personal experience, years ago as an adolescent, I learned what happens when diving in without that protective life-jacket. I know for a fact in this experience, that many things can come into the field of communication if it is 'free for all'. By setting limitations with white light, a barrier and cleansing field, you are not allowing for inaccuracy, deception, and/or lower energies to be drawn to the channel that is being opened. Even with powerful spirits at your side, you still need to take care of yourself.
We are here to experience and learn. Often we must learn the hard way if we constantly rely on others. While your spirits are here for you, the power of taking the initiative, to experience your own personal power, is far more rewarding and incredible! It is also how we obtain wisdom.
Understanding your own ability and power to call upon and manifest blessings is what your spirits want you to discover most. With this in mind, if you do not act accordingly with taking care of yourself, you may very well still have negative energies come into your life, even with those powerful entities beside you. Why? If you're not at all helping yourself, you're not learning. Spirits have an incredible connection to our lifepath. They can tune into our literal spiritual blueprint of why we are here on Earth. They also can commune with Higher Power. They know what is asked and directed by these Higher Powers for your sake of learning, and they must abide. They may step back if you're not providing for yourself and only counting on them to do everything for you. To clarify, this is not your spirits causing you any harm, but rather sadly waiting for you to realize you have the power to bring forth gifts and protection too,. They are wishing to be their to help alongside your endeavors. Do not take them for granted.
Instead of having to go through such a lesson of having to clean up a mess you unfortunately created by not providing for yourself and instead relying solely on powerful spirits to do it all for you, take care now to simply tune into your natural ability to manifest, protect, and learn to work alongside them. This will make your spirits proud, and this is ultimately how spiritual endeavors function.. They aren't here to serve you, they're here to HELP you.
Call upon their gifts of protection, ask them to enhance and help you as you proceed to cast protection! But do it for you! Be the one to create that protection first and then have them re-enforce. This is not at all to say they do not guard, protect, or banish effectively and consistently all on their own. They do - absolutely. Spirits can definitely and will take one for the team out of love for you. They can keep something away, whether you ever know about it or not. But your initiative is vital and educating yourself on protection in the physical vs depending solely on a spirit for all matters is lesson 101. Beginners committed to learning, must learn. Do not explore serious practices without understanding possible consequences. It is a team effort between you and your spirit companions.
Casting Intention to Protect and Cleanse When Communicating with Spirits
Casting protection does not always need to be complicated. Depending on what you are doing. The prayer or intention does not need to be special or intricate prior to beginning divination or meditative session. Your intention is as powerful as any prayer/message, it essentially is a prayer in its own right. Trust in your intention and the light you're calling upon. The divine Source you call upon has the ability to surpass any limitation and knows with loving care the meaning of the words you speak, no matter how you word the prayer, or how you choose to express it.
As an angelolatry practitioner and committed lightworker, I only utilize power and influence from higher forces. No matter the energy or entity, nothing will ever compare to this vibrational higher power. Nothing can vibrate higher than the Source or God. No matter how you wish to translate this power, nor what belief system you follow. - whether it is a specific higher benevolent deity, The Universe, Higher Power, God, etc. This will always be sufficient.
Calling upon Archangel Michael and your personal angels is something I always recommend before opening any communication channels as well.
Speak in thought or voice, that God/Goddess/Source/Higher Power, which ever you resonate, blesses you with their holy light and divine shield. Visualize this light descending from above and encompassing your entire body and aura, as well as encompassing any spiritual tool or item you are using in your session if it applies, (Like a pendulum, scyring mirror, or Tarot cards)
You may also use protective measures with herbs, crystals, spells, sigils, etc. Do what speaks to you. Extra measures are always beneficial.
