Dear SFX,

Please help me and tell me how to avoid other people's negative energy?

I can't avoid this someone with lots of negative energy, because he's my teacher and I have to meet him in the class. What kind of protection can I use?

Thank you.

Robin

Dear Robin,

I know that in theory we're supposed to be connected to everything and see the light in everyone, sure, sure, but such people are really bugging when you have to deal with them, and it's best to put them into a form of astral quarantine.

In a moment, sit back, close your eyes and let a movie of this guy floating in a dark blue space come to you. Have him be quite a way away so he's quite small but not so small you can't make out who it is.

Now, imagine creating a bubble of energy around this man, like a shiny soap bubble but with strong, flexible walls, trapping him and his negative energy inside, so it reflects right back on him.

Bring him in the bubble close. If you can still feel anything negative seeping out, make the bubble stronger and thicker; add some more colours to the surface to make sure nothing escapes at all.

When you're done, let the bubble float away and open your eyes.

That's the main procedure done.

Every time you think of him, check the bubble and make sure it remains stable; and in class when he is there in person, put on some shades and REALLY work on perfecting that bubble around him. If you can get some friends to do the same, the more, the merrier.

This will contain his negativity so he can't not only not influence you, but anyone.

Also work on your own aura/protective bubble.

Check out if there are any holes in it and make sure it is RIVERSMOOTH all the way.

Keep stroking it with your attention so it really is perfectly smooth and flowing. Say in your mind, say loudly, RIVERSMOOTH to get used to that instruction. That's a very, very useful thing for all sorts of circumstances.

Practise makes perfect, keep at it, it gets better and better!

Good luck and a starry blessing,

SFX

NB: How do I know if I have holes in my protective aura?

Close your eyes.

Breathe out long and slow a few times until you can feel your self relax.

Extend your hands until you get a sense of where your own protective astral skin is located.

Just trace all the way around what should be a near perfect sphere and note if there are any places that seem weak, or where painful stuff can and does come into your inner sanctum.

If you have found such a place, use your healing hands to stroke the area until it feels better, closes up, becomes smooth again.

As before, adding some more colours to your aura can bring it to life and make it more shiny, stronger, more attractive AND more strongly defensive at the same time.

Excellent practice for beginners in magic.
