ENERGY PROTECTORS & ANTI-ANXIETY TECHNIQUES FOR TRAVELING

TRAVELING CAN GET PRETTY DAMN HECTIC AND SOMETIMES OUR SENSES ARE BEYOND OVERLOADED! I MYSELF EXPERIENCE AN AXIETY ATTACK OR 10 WHILE TRAVELING, BUT WHEN YOU WORK ON WHAT TRIGGERS YOU, REMAIN CONSCIOUS AND USE TECHNIQUES THAT CAN HELP, THE ANXIETY CAN BE ADDRESSED, MINIMIZED AND WE CAN PROTECT OUR ENERGY.

WE TALK ABOUT VARIOUS TECHNIQUES FROM VISUALIZATION TO CRYSTALS AND EFT. TRY THEM AND SEE WHICH ONES WORK THE BEST FOR YOU. I GENERALLY FIND THAT USING A MIXTURE OF THESE OR EVEN IN COMBINATION TO BE THE MOST EFFECTIVE FOR ME. THESE AND JOURNALING, JOURNALING IS PROBABLY THE MOST FREQUENT THING I DO TO HELP MY STAY CALM AND CONSCIOUS.

WHITE LIGHT PROTECTION

ENVISION A WHITE LIGHT COMING FROM ABOVE YOUR HEAD. I LIKE TO IMAGINE THAT THE WHITE LIGHT IS BRIGHT AND SPARKLING, SHIMMERING AND GLEAMING LIKE DIAMONDS ABOVE YOUR HEAD. THE LIGHT IS WARM LIKE THE SUN, HEATING YOUR BODY AND SHINING ON EVERY CELL IN YOUR BODY. ENVISION THE LIGHT STATING AT THE CROWN OF YOUR HEAD AND SLOWLY TRICKLING DOWN YOUR FACE TO YOUR NECK, YOUR SHOULDERS AND SLOWLY MOVING DOWN YOUR BODY. AS THE LIGHT SLIDES DOWN YOUR BODY YOU FEEL WARMER AND MORE RELAXED. TAKE DEEP BREATHS AND FEEL THE MUSCLES IN YOUR BODY RELEASING TENSION. ENVISION THE LIGHT CONTINUING TO FLOW DOWN, REACHING YOUR STOMACH, YOUR HIPS, AND DOWN YOUR LEGS. FINALLY THE LIGHT IS REACHING YOUR FEET, COVERING YOUR ENTIRE BODY IN THIS GLEAMING WHITE LIGHT. YOU ARE COVERED, YOU ARE PROTECTED, YOU ARE CALM. ALLOW YOURSELF TO FULLY BATHE IN THE WHITE LIGHT AND ENJOY IT'S SERENITY AND PROTECTION. KEEP THIS FEELING, HOLD ONTO THIS VISION, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY - KNOW YOU ARE PROTECTED.

ENERGY SHIELD

SIMILAR TO THE WHITE LIGHT PROTECTION THIS WILL BE A VISUALIZATION TECHNIQUE. ENVISION A GOLD SHIMMERING LIGHT, IT'S BRIGHT AND VIBRANT AND IT IS RADIATING FROM YOUR CORE. ENVISION YOUR SOLAR PLEXUS, WHERE YOUR STOMACH IS, THIS BRING LIGHT IS RADIATING FROM YOU. THE LIGHT IS WRAPPING AROUND YOUR BODY CREATING A SHIELD, AN ENERGY BARRIER. THIS IS YOUR BUBBLE, YOUR SAFE SPACE. YOU ARE PROTECTED AND SHIELDED FROM ENERGIES YOU DO NOT NEED OR WANT. YOU ARE SHIELDED, YOU ARE PROTECTED.

EFT TAPPING

EMOTIONAL FREEDOM TECHNIQUE

EFT, LIKE ACUPUNCTURE, FOCUSES ON THE MERIDIAN POINTS, OR ENRGY HOT SPOTS, TO RESTORE BALANCE TO YOUR BOD'S ENERGY. RESTORING THIS ENERGY BALANCE CAN RELIEVE SYMPTOMS OF A NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE OR EMOTION OR EMOTION MAY HAVE CAUSED ANXIETY OR STRESS.

SPIRITUALLY, EFT CAN BE USED TO MANIFEST YOUR DREAMS AND DESIRES. TO DO THIS, THINK OF THE DREAM OR DESIRE YOU WANT TO TAP ON, ENSURE THAT IT ALIGNS WITH YOU AND YOUR HIGHEST SELF. THEN THINK OF ALL THE NEGATIVE THOUGHTS, FEARS AND EMOTIONS THAT SHOW UP WITH THIS DESIRE. NOW TAP IT ALL OUT, RELEASING THE RESISTANCE AND NEGATIVING ASSOCIATED WITH THAT DESIRE. TAP IN THE POSITIVE FEELINGS, EMOTIONS, AND THOUGHTS THAT YOU HAVE ABOUT THIS DESIRE. CONTINUE TO TAP THE NEGATIVITY OUT AND POSITIVITY IN.
