When You Feel Threatened

Place the crystal where it will catch the sunshine. Sit near it and breathe in deeply through your nose. Hold your breath for a moment or two before exhaling through your mouth. Repeat this several times, absorbing the light cast by the crystal as you inhale and exhaling any negative feelings, doubts and darkness.

After a minute or two, stand up and begin visualizing a crystal-like ring rising around you, from your feet upwards, getting higher and higher with each breath you take. When the crystal ring is above head heightsee it close over you, forming any shape in which you feel comfortable to be enclosed - a pyramid perhaps, or maybe a dome.

Still breathing deeply, feel the crystal form a floor beneath your feet. Conversely, sense a link between you and the centre of the earth. Stretch your arms and feel your fingers touch the sides of your crystal. Look upwards and see the top of the dome or pyramid point.

If you can, also try to view yourself from outside the protective crystal in which you have surrounded yourself. Now say: "Within this crystal, I am safe from negative thought, And am so wherever I might be". When you feel it is right to do so, return to normal breathing and see the crystal open to allow you to step outside it or perceive it dissolving.

This visualisation can then be used wherever you are, perhaps in crowds, a sticky situation or simply under pressure, safe in the knowledge that you can return to it whenever you need to. Those who have used this spell find that keeping a crystal in the house, office, or wherever else they think they may need protection from negativity strengthens the spells potency.
