Disconnection, Glass wall and Protective circle techniques.
I have taught these techniques to a few people now and rather than type them out again for someone, I decided I would just blog it this time 
Apologies for the format, I will tidy it up some other day, but today is my birthday and I have better things to do than care about the grammar nazi's.
These techniques are very effective for protecting yourself from incoming negative energy, or simply to allow yourself respite from thoughts and feelings about other people that you feel are too strong to contend with at the present time.
All three techniques will work if you believe they will work. They all require a *degree* of belief in communication beyond verbal and body language, although the extent of that belief is immaterial. If you are a fairly "intuitive" about other people then you already have enough belief in the "unseen" to make the techniques work.
The disconnection technique seems to require a belief in a powerful "external other", be that God, The Universe, Guardian angels or whatever you choose - if all else fails in choosing a powerful other for the technique, just use whatever you would use in those utter crisis times everyone has - when you are utterly beyond dealing with a crisis yourself, who would you pray to?
Disconnection.
This is a very effective day to day technique. It involves a very simple statement or a variant of that statement. You will find this works best at first if you say it out loud, although with practice you will find it effective if you just say it in your head. If you do not find it works fully the first time, say it a few more times until it does. Twice usually does it .
Repeat this technique as required - after a while you will find you do it automatically while you need it.
I use "Guardian Angel" as my powerful external other for this, so I will use that in the examples.
"Full disconnection" - "Guardian angel please remove everyone else's energy from my body".
The full disconnect will help you let go of all the energy you are picking up from others. Be aware though that if you immediately choose to meditate on your relationship with any of them then you make the connection with them again.
I find this a great technique for giving myself the "head space" to overcome temporary depression, or mood dips
"Partial disconnect" - "Guardian angel please remove <person x>'s energy from my body".
Very useful for blocking an individual, getting over a relationship and generally moving on. Every time you find your thoughts dwelling on the individual, say it in your head, even if you end up doing it 100 times an hour for the first few hours - it will become automatic after a while as soon as the person comes into your head.
"Learning and growth disconnection" - "Guardian angel please remove everyone else's energy from my body unless it is there for my learning and growth".
Does what it says on the tin
Glass wall.
The glass wall technique is useful for face to face meets with people you find oppressive or challenged by in some way. If you find you have a sinking feeling or self doubt or some other strong negative self emotion when you are with someone, just imagine a thick glass wall between them and you - you can still see them and hear them, but their feelings toward you and yours towards them simply bounce off the wall. Strengthen the imaginary wall between you as much as you need, until you can no longer feel them.
This technique is great for dealing with people who you feel dominated or threatened by. They will quickly loose interest in you as they are not getting the reaction from you anymore, and you will gain the opportunity to see them as the weak and manipulative individuals they really are. Can be used in conjunction with the disconnect technique as well.
Protective circle technique
I like to use this one at sleep time if I remember. I usually remember it if I need it, LOL.
Lie quietly and clear your mind as much as possible. Perform the full disconnect technique a couple of times - this is your rest time - you don't need to be thinking about other people, you need to think of yourself and rest instead. You are no good to yourself or anyone else if you are not well rested.
When you mind is clear and you are feeling relaxed, concentrate on your breathing, aim for slow natural moderately deep breaths for a minute or two.
When you feel ready, imagine a sword of flaming fire in your hand, and draw an imaginary circle of fire around your entire self and your sleeping area. You can extend this as wide as you like to encompass your entire personal space - if you live alone, or with children or others which you *wish* to include in the circle then include them or as much of your household as you wish.
Draw the circle repeatedly in your mind until you are happy that it looks "solid" in your imagination. Now imagine the flames going upwards and downwards from the circle to make a giant even sphere of fire around the whole area.
Once that is nice and well defined, become aware of your solar plexus (just around and below your belly button. Feel the energy in it - this is where people connect to you emotionally). Using the flaming sword, sever all the connections others have made with you - don't worry, you won't kill anyone doing this and the connections come back again - this is only a temporary effect. As you sever the thick connections, imagine the ends zinging back to the outer edge of the flaming sphere - they may try to connect again, but you have made a conscious decision to exclude them for now.
By the end of that you should be feeling very nicely chilled, at peace and calm. You might not necessarily go straight to sleep, but you are now in a resting state. Don't dwell on any thoughts or relationships or try to force sleep - just grant yourself the right to relax and rest.

I have used a variation of glass wall for years as a shield in between me and 'tothers out there in the big bad world. I like the sleepy circle technique and will try that methinks. Thank you.
People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When you figure out which one it is,
you will know what to do for each person. | |
