Shield of Protection

Sit comfortably on a chair. Try to relax and keep your attention focused on the top of your head.
The goal is to build a “shield of protection” around yourself before and after meditation, as
shown below.

The Shield of Protection helps protect the subtle body, balance your energy, and preserve your
state of meditation.
Place your left hand on your lap, palms upwards. Place your right hand a couple of inches
away from your left hip, palm facing your hip. Then slowly raise your right hand along the left
side of your body, from your hip to your elbow, then to your left shoulder and right on up to the
top of your head, always maintaining an approximate two-inch gap between your hand and
body. Your palm should be facing inward toward your body at all times. (At the top of your
head, your palm should be turned inward — facing the top of your head — and remain a
couple of inches above it.
Continue to move your left hand down the right side of your body (from the top of your head)
until your hand reaches your right hip. (Remember to maintain a two-inch distance between
your hand and your body.) Then move your right hand back up your right side, over your head,
and down the left side of your body.
These two acts are considered to form one shield and should be performed in one smooth
action from the left side to the right side and back to the right side. Repeat this movement of
the left hand (left to right and back) a total of 7 times.
Once you learn to perform this action in a smooth, continuous gesture, you’ll be able to focus
all your attention on your inner energy, rather than focusing on performing the technique itself.
