This visualization can be used to protect people, pets, homes, cars, anything you would like to protect. After doing this a few times, you will not need the candles. You will be able to visualize the ball of white light at any time and any place. If you wish to protect a loved one and you have a photograph of them, place it between the candles (taking care that it not catch fire).
Cast a circle if you like. Light three white candles for protection.
Sit down and get comfortable. Relax. Breathe slow and deep. Let all tension flow into the earth. Feel calm and peaceful. You are completely relaxed.
Visualize a beautiful white light all around you, forming a bubble. It shimmers with a soft glow. Now make it stronger, and then make it shine brighter. Make it grow until it fills the room you are in. Fill the bubble with love and confidence. Know that it will protect you wherever you are.
To protect a loved one: Now picture your loved one. See a glowing light all around them. It is just like the bubble that is protecting you now. It glows with safety and protection. Make it stronger, bigger, and brighter. Visualize this as long as you like. When you are done, wish your loved one well, and know that they are safe.
Now feel your circle of light bring you back to the present moment and the room you are in. Take a deep breath and stretch for a moment before you get up.
Let the candles burn as long as you like. You may relight them any time you wish to strengthen the visualization and protection.
