Protection?I haven't had time to go thru the forum completely yet, so please excuse me if this has already been addressed.
When you work with some or in general, do you protect yourself and how?

Good morning Patti.
I do kind of a ritual. I make sure the house is cleansed. I lite the proper incense for that client. Choose the proper music down way low, I dress a certain way, wear my stones, the way they expect me to look and feel, (funny cuz it's how I would dress all the time!) I choose stones to protect and sheild, & stones for the person, then I focus, say my prayers, I ask for my guides to grant me guidance to help to heal and ask God to grant me the power to do it. When I am done with this ritual I feel calm amd safe and sheided, ready to do Reiki or whatever is needed.
(btw ask what you will...we love rediscuss things)

What can is say Debs
I could do a cut and paste on must of what you have put
I do a ritual
I make sure the house is cleansed with incense
I light the incense for the client. (Light English spelling)
I choose relaxing music very low
I darken the room
I focus, say my prayers
I ask for my guides to grant me guidance to help to heal the power to do it
I put roots down to mother earth
Open up my crown chakra and pass light down through my body
Creation a bubble of protecting light around me
When I am done with this ritual I feel calm amd safe and sheided
Ready to do my Reiki.

Hermie! Hi, it's good to see you here.
I usually cleanse my house first and protect. Outside I have a medicine wheel and chimes at each corner.
I use Frankincense to smug all corners and windows, the fill room with reiki energy. I have also used sea salt in corners of rooms to absorb negative energy.
When I work with someone, I usually wera black and no metal as I heard this attract others energy. I say my prayer, work on my client, the at the end I say another prayer of thanks but also to ask my angels to remove any energy that does not belong to me as well as any negative energy and to release it were it will do no harm. Because of the void that may be left, I ask the angels to feel it with white light and unconditional love. After I cleanse everything I have used by smuging and wash my hands.
Somewhere in my files I do have a Zipp Up method for everyday allday protection if anyone is interested.
Hugs
Patti

Namaste Debs
Take care with me then ladies
My energies are not endless
Shift work and trying to lead an holistic life style
Mean that I burn the candle at both ends

I can play quite well thank you
Sometimes very fairly
Sometimes very criptically
But hopefully
Always when the time is right

My work mates call me Yoda or wax on wax off
My attention to detail and the way that I give advice
Is completely out of the normal factory workers box

Hermie, you have always been fun, timely and appropriate. At least from where I can see. The eye sight is going and you are across the pond. 
But yes, being the man, you'll get spoiled:D
Hugs,

As we aged the eyes and hearing go
But as we age our other senses take over
For once the old senses start to go
In kick the senses that have laid unused
As we chase the material life and loves
In kicks the spiritual side, the holistic side
We start to see more than we ever did before
The material becomes the living bill paying
The spiritual starts to overtake the material
Let your mind flow free from the old restraints
Find yourself where you at last feel free

Just playing catch up here so forgive me if I bring old ones back up ( and not just me!!!  )
I dont protect.....never have...never ( fingys crossed ) been bit yet....
The only time I call on guides etc is when I want to connect to someone...And when i have been * helping * others to pass over fully
I always felt that if you throw up protection...you can *close* yourself down...
Hey but just me n my thoughts!!

I wonder if most of the rituals are to put us in a certain frame of mind.
do your things and then when you get to the end think on packaging it all up, how you are feeling the frame of mind you are in and the protection you feel around you.
put it in a safe place where you will remember it is, ie behind your right ear, then next time, or a test time, pull it out from beihind your ear and see if you are there without having to actually do all the things you usually do.
just a thought

I love my rituals, it does calm my energy and get me focused and prepared for the giving or even the recieving. I use a stone/crystal for protection. I have encountered a few very vampiracle persons who I definitely needed to keep out.
and SH...I love bringing the old back, we have many new folks joined and guesting who benefit from them.

Reiki is about ritual
Grounding and protecting is just another part of ritual
You should do what you feel comfortable with
That's the most important part of anything
