I'm scared...

[Saerwen@fairpoint.net]

Last night, when I was trying to get to sleep, my sister's lamp died (we share a room). No problem, right? I always stick my head under the blankets to sleep in complete darkness anyways. So I'm cuddled down, almost asleep, when these fingers grab my arm. I don't have a problem with spirts contacting me, but these fingers were made of darkness. (Not the dark playing tricks on me- my eyes were closed and I could still see them). I was fairly terrified, so, like I usually do when I'm scared, I tried to... Ehhh... Hard to describe, other than "fill up with light." It's an easy thing for me to do, usually, but I couldn't that night. I couldn't focus on my light, couldn't fill up with it, there was only the feeling of those dark fingers... So I grabbed my flashlight in one hand, and my crystal in the other and just laid there... I was completely out of it. I closed my eyes again, trying to sleep, or forget, or pray, and then I felt and saw, in my mind's eye, a flash of purple/blue lightning, and then I was flooded with light again... Though it was slightly more purple and slightly less yellow than my usual light...
I have no idea what happened. I'm deeply grateful for whatever sent the lightning, but... I'm scared of that happening again...
Any suggestions or information regarding?

Hello Saerwen, I can't name what it was that contacted you, but I have a suggestion, something I have my daughters do before they go to sleep every night, and that is to surround themselves with light before they go to sleep or even get into bed. You said that you can usually "fill up" with light yourself...could you begin doing this before you go to bed? This would help to keep away any unwanted negative energies.

Namaste

awww don't be afraid, negatives can smell that fear....just always be aware that your angels and guides are al ways with you love ...protect yourself with a very bright white/purple light imagine that light before you go to bed your angels will always protect you from negative energy ...re member

Once upon a time, there was a very kind and generous man who told me;

"I draw the circle of divine love and light around me, so that naught but good can enter here."

*lays in bed, draws circle as the mantra is repeated with arm extended and finger pointed into the air*

fill up with light

I like that phrase. It is a good way to describe it. I know what you are talking about but I could never put words to it.
