← CHAPTER OVERVIEW
Building a safe cocoon
The practice comes in three versions, in this chapter.
I had this idea of creating a safe cocoon, to help us move through the world more peacefully, but my guides invited me to do something else, building a kind of Merkabah, a protective and empowering shield, so I will share both of these options with you so you can try them both and choose what you like better.
Or you might also want to have different things at different times.
And I will even add a third one that you can use a bit more spontaneously – because it’s fun. 💖
As you are well aware, we’ve talked about our bodies in this chapter, and how the judgement of others has often hurt and harmed us in the past.
The stronger our new kind and loving believes about ourselves become, the less we will need to feel protected because our strength and love will automatically radiate outwards.
But on our way there, we may need protection.
So, one thing I have learned about at some point is to create a protective bubble.
The bubble, you can get out in all kinds of every day situations when you feel uncomfortable.
Like walking past a group of drunk teenagers. Or through a crowd of people. Or past a scary dog.
You know your triggers. So before you enter into a situation that may trigger you, you can imagine that you have a protective bubble around you, like the one you see in the picture below.
You can colour it red, for strength and passion, or you can give it your colour for safety and protection from the Wheel of Colours.
Then you can just imagine it protecting you in every situation you would usually feel uncomfortable.
See if you feel differently when you do this.
The safe cocoon you create at home.
For this, you sit down and quiet down for a bit. You can do that in your meditation spot, on your couch or in your yard. Or even in a forest or a quiet spot in nature. But do it sitting or standing up.
When you feel comfortable, imagine a light coming down from the sky and filling you up. Let it run right through you down into the earth.
Feel the earth, the ground underneath you and connect to that as well. And then start moving the light.
