The diamond shield is a metaphor that I refer to often when I speak and coach. It is one of those fashion accessories I will not go out without. It has nothing to do with jewelry and it costs nothing to wear.
Why is this shield so important? Everything is energy, however we need not expose ourselves to everything. We need a good barrier or filter to keep our own energy clean. Some elements (and people) in our environment can drain energy. Unfortunately our energy will at times be intentionally invaded by others. This shield is a defensive mechanism to deliberately contain energy, create healthy boundaries and prevent leaks. Our discerning intention installs and activates this protective energetic barrier.
Here is my simple recipe for creating a customized “Diamond Shield” for yourself.
1. Bubble of Light: As you begin the day, intentionally see yourself inside a bubble of sparkling white light.
2. Zip up your central meridian by placing the palm of the hand facing your body and about 1-2 inches from your body. Begin with your hand over the pelvic bone and slip it up your abdomen and chest, stopping at the lower lip. Bring the hand away from the body as you return to the pelvic bone and zip up 2 more times.
3. Boundaries: Take a deep breath and consider what boundaries you may need to hold in place during the day ahead. What must you say no to? What must you do to conserve your energy? What is your “bottom line” when it comes to how you allow others to treat you and how you treat yourself? These are your rules for engagement. Make sure your intentions are kind and accept them as your way of nuturing and loving yourself, while communicating to others how you desire to be treated.
4. Magnify Your Light: Set the intention that your diamond shield magnifies your light and allows others to see the highest and best in you. Think about how diamonds so beautifully reflect light and the many perspectives they come in contact with. And so it is with you!
5. Illuminate Others: Believe that while the diamond shield protects you, it also allows you to see the light in others, even when that light is low or faint. Even the most depressed or nasty person can radiate when seen through the diamond. The diamond provides magnification of the light and the potential for the highest and best to be seen instead of missed. The diamond also allows the low energy individual to see the reflection of their own light coming off the diamond, boosting their sense of self.
Allow the diamond shield to serve and teach you as you go through life. Help others use it to build energy during difficult times. Appreciate how it enhances your experiences of daily living. Wear your shield in good health and radiate love.
