Asking For Spiritual Protection and Guidance
The second most important aspect of any healing practice lies within the first few moments prior to starting your session-work.
It is in these few moments that you should call in any helpful entities, in full Love and Light, to aid and assist you in your healing by providing protection and guidance.
Along your path as a healer, there may be many different types of spiritual beings that you could encounter as you work with yourself and others. Receiving help or assistance from these sources can be one of the most effective ways to help guide a healing session, clarify different works and intentions within a healing intuitively, protect everyone involved within a healing event, and much more.
Allowing positive spiritual guidance within your session will help to maintain a balanced healing space and prevent the actions of harmful influences and really serve as the glue for your session that you didn’t know you really wanted.
How to Ask For Spiritual Protection and Guidance
Once you have decided that you would like for some extra spiritual help, simply quiet your mind with a few deep breaths and allow your mind and personal space to open to those beings of Light who guide and protect you. By doing this, you are setting an intention to connect with any being of Light who may be related to your experiences in life. For some, this may be Angels or celestial guardians. To others, this may be God, or even a God or Goddess of legend.
Who you choose and how you relate to their capacity to assist you is what’s most important when it comes to working with a being who is able to help guide you most naturally, or in a way that can benefit the recipient. How you choose to do decide what spirit or being to work with is up to your own personal beliefs. Once you know who you want to help you, find a way to express that feeling. It can be in the form of a prayer or spoken word, such as the Lord’s Prayer, while visualizing Angels or beings of Light appearing within your space.
You may also do something with tools such as lighting candles that can represent a physical or elemental connection your guiding and protective forces. Another way to ask for assistance is with thought by simply thinking of who you want to call to your space for help and opening your mind to how they may hear you.
If you need help developing a method to assist you with guidance and protection, feel free to contact me and we can work together to find or create a method that best works for you.
Please be courteous to your recipient and their chosen faith if you would work with guidance outside of their religious background or pantheon. Not only could it be considered dishonest in ways depending on the recipient’s faith, but it may also create a division between you and the recipient. Relationships between a healer and client, or even between beings that guide and protect us, can all play a part which can affect the quality of their channel and the healing session.
As a general practice, I personally call in assistance by using a prayer of intention that is suited to call for beings of benefit to both the recipient and myself that are of full Love and Light. I will never ask for your religious preference outside of what may be useful for creating a session plan.
