Protective Cocoons of Light

tree of life

Meditation, contemplation, prayer and journaling are important practices to come to know who we are, what we need and how to serve with our particular gifts. It is imperative that we make regular time to relax, heal, and ground ourselves. Additionally, at the beginning of each day and at night before retiring (and more, as needed ) we must envelop ourselves in cocoons of protective Light, sometimes 3 to 4 levels deep.  If we wish to spiritually develop ourselves and serve in the world to the best of our abilities, we must protect ourselves from negative energies in our lives. This does not disconnect us from others, but keeps us from being adversely affected by the energies of other people, and all the sorrows and fear in the world. You may also re-empower the cocoons during times of additional stress, fear, etc. Fear has been made a big part of everyday life, especially since 9/11, and we must not take on the fears of the world or our country, or we will “burn out,” and be unable to fully inhabit our lives and do what we came to Earth to do. I use these cocoons daily, and find they are a powerful tool to enable me to do my spiritual work, and “be in the world, but not of it.”

Energetic Protection ~ Four levels :
  1. Imagine yourself enveloped in a cocoon of white or golden Light , filled with God's love, healing and protection. Have the intention that only love, Light and positive energies will come through this cocoon.

  2. Imagine and intend that the outside of your cocoon is enveloped in a fine mesh made of gold , and only Love, Light and positive energy can permeate your cocoon.

  3. If you feel particularly threatened or are in highly uncomfortable circumstances, add to the outside of your cocoon, in addition to what you previously envisioned and intended, a ring of fire.

  4. As final protection, imagine and intend there to be a luminous shell of mirroring made of silver or gold, with the mirrored or shiny side facing outwards. T his additional boundary helps all negative energy coming your way to bounce back to wherever it came from.
