Protect Yourself

It may not be a pleasant thought, but if you are a spiritually curious seeker then you are probably being constantly assailed by forces which are trying to knock you off your path. If this statement generates fear then stop here and come back later. All I am saying is that when you cross a busy road you should look both ways, not live in mortal fear of roads and cars.

Some of the obstacles you encounter will be the result of self-sabotage, you getting in your own way. But not all of them. So here is a collection of some useful pointers on how to protect yourself from these attacks and stay on your path.

First, not all problems and obstacles are attacks! Some are in order for you to learn, so they are therefore positive, even if they are, in the moment, painful.

Next, because all of us do sometimes self-sabotage, and fall prey to our own internal Dark Side, we must do what we can to align with the positive traits of our numbers, to attune to the messages of the Tarot Card of the Day and become accustomed to hearing and acting upon the voice of your Inner Guide. All this takes time – months, maybe years – to develop, integrate and accept. Along the way exploration of Past Lives is invaluable for understanding why you do what you do. Also, last but definitely not least, we should all make the effort to meet our Watcher, who will test us as to whether we are ready to let go of our own limitations. Where the Inner Guide acts as a co-pilot the Watcher acts more like a toll master, waiting for you to prove yourself before he – or she – will let you go forward.

In truth, every day contains a thousand and one opportunities to get ahead, or become trapped in the consequences of our decisions. Much of life, if you are to avoid these traps, involves self-control. This is not something that a lot of spiritually curious people are interested in, but it is crucial for gaining the necessary knowledge in order to move forward. Those who cannot – or will not – self-regulate will forever remain stuck in their own thought patterns, and locked up in their own emotional reactions as well as the limitations of their own body. But, paradoxically, life also involves letting go, escaping your body by transcending those very same thoughts and feelings. Genuine spiritual development can therefore be best summed up as ‘controlled letting go’! It is not – repeat not – simply about unhooking your emotions and feeling everything all the time, everywhere. That way lies madness.

Avoiding trouble, and protecting yourself, spiritually energetically, is not simply about being happy and smiley and radiating good vibes. Though such an attitude certainly helps it won’t be enough, by itself. In fact, for some, a positive, carefree attitude might be the prelude to disaster, causing them to make terrible, unbalanced decisions where they do not see the downsides and dangers of the situation before them. We need some techniques!

First, please read and implement p141-145 of The Works of Arthur Norris Volume 2 which are also attached here.

Then, don’t forget to watch, and practice, the following Toolkit videos:

Self-Healing & Protection

Low Moods & Depression (which may be the result of energy attack)

The Four-Fold Breath

The Breath of Life.

Also, in the Meditations section there is the Self-Healing & Renewal audio, and In Layla’s section we also have the video Speak Health, Healing and Positivity into Being. All these are essential for protecting yourself, but here are some other techniques as well.

Recite your psalms, daily.

In the Webinar replays section there is a download Which Lord Rules You? (from the 19/10/22 session) which lists all the astrological decans with their ruling Tarot card, Lord and dominant WORD or PRINCIPLE that affects your life. I have now updated this here to include a list of protective psalms for each decan. This list is taken from old 17th century grimoires (books of magic), based on the fact that each decan has ruling angels and demons for the day and for the night. The demons are repelled, and the angels called near, using the listed psalms. If you are serious about this work then these should be memorised and recited daily, the first one in the morning upon waking, the second one just before bed. If you can’t memorise then just read, and if you don’t like one translation (say King James) then try another (say English Standard Version or New International). Don’t overthink this. The Bible is a powerful magical text, so forget about Churchianity and just avail yourself of its support.

Take salt baths

Regular bathing in Epsom salts is well-known to remove interdimensional nasties. I find that doing this in the evening is too enlivening and can interfere with sleep, but at other times of day it can be very refreshing and cleansing in more ways than meet the eye.

Shower off bad vibes

Instead of a bath, if you have a shower then as you wash yourself SEE – literally SEE – black glass like shards of energy pull away from you and fall off into the water. If you really go for this you might look down and see yourself standing in dirty water! Don’t scrub, just wash intentionally while seeing the multi-dimensional dirt fall away from you to be replaced by a bright white light (which you will conjure up in your mind).

Light a candle

It is not a bad practice – which delivers more than meets the eye – to accompany all inner journeying with the lighting of a plain, unfragranced, white candle. This recognition of light – and Light – prior to performing the Inner Guide, a Past Life or any other journey or exercise is more than symbolic. Please note: fire safety should always be observed, and a candle should NEVER be left to burn unattended.

Finally, don’t scared - be yourself!

Being authentically you is a powerful form of protection. I don’t mean for you to do whatever the hell you like, I mean, in alignment with the positives of your numbers, discern what you should be doing and do that a lot! The positive vibes that are produced from such a simple action will keep all sorts of nasties at bay.
