Any candle with a color you associate with protection such as white or deep blue.
Any small object such as a pendant ring or stone that you personally link with safety or guardianship.
Stand or sit with your feet on the ground and breathe slowly until you feel steady and present in your body.
Visualize a circle of gentle light forming around you and acknowledge land sea and sky or your own triad of powers as witnesses.
Turn slowly and in your own words greet each direction inviting clarity protection and balanced presence from every quarter.
Imagine a sphere of light expanding from your heart until it surrounds you fully bright enough to feel safe yet comfortable to inhabit.
State clearly that only what is in right relationship and supports your well being may enter the sphere and that all else remains outside.
Thank the directions and any spirits or deities you work with then let the sphere settle into a steady subtle presence and touch the ground or your heart to anchor the work.
