How to protect yourself energetically: A simple, potent protection prayer

Ready to have a deeper conversation about body and soul, sacred leadership, and our collective evolution? Welcome to the Wise Body, Ancient Soul podcast with me, your host, Charisse Sisou.

Charisse Sisou (00:02.464)

Hello, beautiful soul and wise body. Today I want to talk about another one of my go -to tools. This I just feel is like a must have for anyone navigating the energies, the world right now. You know, we all need a good protection practice in our back pocket. Something that we can…

that just becomes routine that we can fall on, you know, fall back upon whenever. Really, you know, just as like, just as, you know, we regularly say meditate in the morning just to ground and kind of set the tone for the day or whatever your routine is, the same way that we brush our teeth, right? Every day. Just about every day, at some point, you’ll need a little protection.

prayer, charm, whatever you want to, whatever you want to call it. I was thinking about that protection charm. Like every time I, every time I think of those words, I think of Hogwarts. And so I think that I need to say it with a British accent, which I cannot. And, but also like charm almost makes it seem, you know,

like very light, like a little dangly something hanging from a bracelet, right? When these are real practices that shift the energy that we are broadcasting, right? This is how it works. It’s like by, by broadcasting or aligning with an energetic signature that says,

I am safe, I’m protected. Then that communicates with the world and it’s that that people or events or what have you are responding to, right? The reason why I say it like this is because I’ve had this conversation with my hubby who’s a very rational, grounded guy, you know? And when I talk to him about protection,

Charisse Sisou (02:28.238)

practices or prayers. His comeback is always like, I’ll take self -defense over that any day. And, rock on, I fully support that. And, what is the energetic signature that shifts when one learns self -defense? The signature that shifts is, I now feel confident that I can defend myself.

in any situation. So, because what I’ve noticed is, you know, and this, this is backed up by research, you know, when they talk to folks that, you know, like, let’s talk about just momentarily about kind of person on person stuff, right? Is, you know, when there is say, like a predator for lack of a better term out there, they are seeking a

particular energetic signature to take advantage of? Is it right? No. Is it, you know, like the fault of the person who might be broadcasting that signature? Heck to the no. Like I would never, ever suggest that. Right?

And what I am saying is, we have control over the energy that we are putting out into the world, and we can, to the best of our ability.

broadcast an energetic signature of safety and protection. And it works. It works, right?

Charisse Sisou (04:16.462)

It doesn’t mean that we control all circumstances. Sometimes stuff that’s meant to happen is gonna happen.

Charisse Sisou (04:27.192)

However, and what I can tell you from my own experience is that I know that there have been situations that I have avoided. I have gone into situations that maybe in the past would have activated me, triggered me, where I would have had like a response within them that once I started putting these practices into practice, I noticed…

that I wasn’t getting activated. I wasn’t coming into contact with those same situations. Right?

Charisse Sisou (05:14.124)

Why am I defending this?

This is a practice that I use. If it speaks to you.

It is yours to also use. If it doesn’t speak to you, skip to the next episode.

Charisse Sisou (05:35.886)

So this particular protection practice I learned from my dear friend, Roseanne Remiglio Ashley, she’s my bestie. And one of these days, she’s also a reluctant speaker. So one of these days I will coax her onto my show. But in the meantime, I wanted to share this practice with you because it really came in strongly for me.

because my daughter was heading out the door, she was feeling all kind of energetically frayed, right? She was in a hurry, she was anxious, and I was like, let’s say a quick protection prayer just before you hit the road, you know? Because you don’t wanna hit the road when you’re in.

a crazy energy because you know it’s like waking up on the wrong side of the bed. It’s the same kind of thing. It’s like whatever energy we are broadcasting, surprise, it gets reflected right back to us. Right?

So interestingly enough, we say this little prayer, she goes out to the car, the car doesn’t start. Interesting, right? Turns out the car needed oil, right? The car needed some, it needed some love in it, needed a little TLC. So my hope he goes out, takes a look at it. He’s like, this is what it needs. We put some oil in it. You know, it’s fine. Now, did the prayer call?

pause the car not to start? I’m not about to start like drawing causative lines here, right? Did it help? I think so, because I think I believe that had she driven off without that prayer, the car might have broken down later on the side of the road because it needed oil. Do you know what I’m saying?

Charisse Sisou (07:33.102)

This is the world that I live in. I see myself as a co -creator with the universe. That means that how I interact with it manifests, right? How I interact with it translates from the mental, emotional, spiritual to the physical.

Charisse Sisou (08:00.078)

So this was the prayer that I taught my daughter that day, and I learned it from my dear friend Roseanne. And here it is in a nutshell, and then I’ll break it down for you. Red earth, teal water, ring of fire, globe of light. I’ll say that again. Red earth, teal water, ring of fire, globe of light.

Charisse Sisou (08:29.454)

So as I take you through this, you know, if you’re driving, obviously don’t close your eyes. But if you are in a position where you can kind of, and you feel so inclined, feel free to close your eyes for this next segment and just really take it in what each of these pieces mean. Cause this is how I learned it.

Charisse Sisou (08:48.448)

Imagine that you are standing at the center of these concentric circles, right? And that first central circle that you are standing on is a patch of red earth connecting you to Gaia, connecting you to the planet.

Charisse Sisou (09:13.966)

the earth on

Charisse Sisou (09:19.534)

It is not on her that we dance. It is with her. We are a part of the planet. So when we connect in, we benefit not only from that energetic support, right? This is why it’s so grounding to connect with earth. It feels good in the body. Soothing to the nervous system.

It also affords us her great wisdom and web of knowledge. Okay. I recently interviewed a fascinating man by the name of Leroy Bull. He is a master dowser, dowsing for 68 years. And one of the things that he learned from one of his teachers, a native teacher, they said, anything that walks vertically,

the earth or lives vertically upon the earth is a connection between you know that which is above and that which is below.

like the trees, like humans. So when we are connecting in…

Charisse Sisou (10:41.806)

We are plugging into one of the sources of our energy, intelligence, wisdom, instincts. There is a lot of information that gets exchanged.

this sphere even just connecting in with earthly just right connecting in with earthly knowledge like think of how you know the mycelium of mushrooms of fungi like transfers information across great distances this is the same kind of communication that happens where

Let’s say a fire breaks out at the edge of the forest, the trees on the inside of the forest know almost immediately because that information is transmitted, right? Think of how the original peoples of Australia, right? The Aboriginal peoples of Australia, how they are able to traverse great distances.

going from point A to point B with no marked road, but they know the path because they connect in with the Earth and Earth’s knowledge and information base. Think of when we were voyagers. I’m going to quote Moana here talking about my own ancestors, my own Polynesian ancestors.

We would go great distances. We would see our destination and we would reach it. How did we know? Because we were tapped into.

Charisse Sisou (12:38.702)

this wealth of information. Does it include reading the stars? Yes. Is it just reading the stars? No.

It is all it’s tapping into the same web of information and knowledge that the whales and the dolphins tap into. The whales that come down from Maine to, uh, Oh, who, who go from Maine down to like Hawaii and back again, not Maine, Alaska. And they pass through it. It’s like, there are these.

amazing journeys that these animals go on just to fulfill their life cycle. How do they know where to go? They’re connected in, right? So red earth, that’s your central circle.

Charisse Sisou (13:42.414)

plugging in to that groundedness, that safety, that information web. Next circle, teal water. So now I want you to imagine that that patch of red earth is surrounded by a moat of sparkling teal water, right? Just like a moat would serve that, creating that boundary with the outside world for…

you know, a castle or a fortress, same kind of thing. Water. Water is also a great part of what we are made of.

It is also the great communicator water stores information. Right? So again, we are tapping into another informational network. Right? My ancestors saying this, right? This is that network with the earth that the voyagers would tap into in tracing their path across the oceans.

Charisse Sisou (14:56.398)

So Red Earth, Teal Water.

Think about already how safe we’re feeling.

Charisse Sisou (15:15.406)

surrounded by sparkling water.

Charisse Sisou (15:22.958)

Untouchable, protected, clear, right? Then around that, a ring of fire. This one’s kind of self -explanatory, right?

So this is the other day I was meditating and dropping in and asking to connect with the sacred feminine, the energy of the sacred feminine.

Charisse Sisou (15:57.966)

And as I centered myself and asked with humility, please may I connect with you.

Charisse Sisou (16:11.534)

I was brought into a column, like a drop, it’s not quite a column, it was like a drop shaped vessel of water, but not a vessel that was contained by anything. It’s almost like, you know, a drop of water that was the size of oceans, right? And surrounding that were flames.

right? So think Pele, think volcano, right? Think, you know, inner earth, right? Is this not what the inside of our earth looks like? Water surrounded by fire, right?

She carries that paradox. We carry that paradox. Right.

Charisse Sisou (17:10.062)

that ring of fire surrounding the teal water and the red earth, right? So that’s our third concentric circle. This burns anything looking to come in that we have not allowed in ourselves and vice versa, right? So that fire, fiery protection and power and strength.

and you can make it as tall as you want, right?

Charisse Sisou (17:50.99)

Next circle, globe of light. So this is really an interesting one as well because this globe of light, this is now we’re going from, you know, seemingly we went from 2D, they’re all 3D, right? But this sort of like standing on the earth, seeing that ring of water, then seeing that ring of fire, now that’s jumping up around us. And then globe of light over our heads, under our feet, a big

globe of light surrounding the whole thing.

Right.

Charisse Sisou (18:29.048)

protecting us. And what’s lovely about this light, the way that Roseanne taught it to me was, and this was given to her by her guides, right? By her native ancestors, her native grandfather gave her this protection prayer that she then passed on to me and has been teaching people as well, right? What they said is you can make that globe of light, you can think of it as light, you can also think of it as

Crystal and you can make that crystal as thick as you like as thick as a wall, right? However, you are feeling that you require in that moment or in that day, right? So usually for me globe of light, but if I know I’m going into a situation why I really need to like have my back straight.

I need to call that inner strength. Maybe I know I’m walking into a challenging conversation. What might even be a conflict or something like that.

now it can bring in, you know, the crystal wall. Right? We’re going to have fun with this stuff. And I, I also want to underline, yes, when we talk about protection, it always comes from this place of safety, confidence, courage, strength.

I call upon protection out of love for myself and love for my neighbor, love for the people around me, for my family, right? Not from fear, yeah? Like it’s, you know, fear is what will…

Charisse Sisou (20:43.79)

you know, a rocket sent with fear just kind of goes, doesn’t really go anywhere, right? But love, the core language of the universe, the language of your heart, which is where your truth resides.

Charisse Sisou (21:04.014)

Now we’re unstoppable. Now we are so powerful. Right?

Charisse Sisou (21:12.558)

And this may sound like just words, but they’re not just words. Words are the first stage of manifestation. When we talk about manifestation, when we talk about creating, it starts with an idea, feeling, it starts in that ether. And then often one of the next stages is speaking it, right?

writing it is like now we’re bringing into the 3D, you know, even speaking it now it’s like a vibration that is measurable in the physical world by our current tools because I think our tools are going to evolve and we’ll pretty soon we’ll be able to, you know, prove some of the stuff that right now requires faith.

Charisse Sisou (22:04.942)

Hey, babe. Okay, great. I’m wrapping up a recording. Oh, no, you’re good. That’s fine. I can edit that out.

Charisse Sisou (22:18.414)

So to recap, red earth, grounding, teal water, protective boundary, ring of fire, raaar, globe of light, right? So now this is something that’s like from omnidirectional, right? And that for extra measure, if you are so inclined.

you can make as thick like thick crystal.

Charisse Sisou (22:55.374)

So that’s like the whole visualization, right? And some of the underpinnings and some of just whatever wanted to be spoken in that moment. Cause if you haven’t already gathered this, I am an intuitive channel. And so sometimes when I am recording, especially these solo episodes, but they chime in when I’m interviewing people too, like I’ll just get a question, like ask this, you know, like they just know there’ll be a great story.

And when I say they, it’s like, you know, my board of directors, like my board of advisors, right? They’re my spiritual advisors. And, you know, I can do a whole other episode just on who makes up my current board of advisors. But…

Charisse Sisou (23:48.494)

Where was I going with that? Some of what flows through is simply channeled information that I’ll have to go back and re -listen to the episode myself to be like, oh wow, what dropped in when I said this, right? When we talked about, you know.

Charisse Sisou (24:09.358)

So now that you’ve got the whole picture right in your ear, in your body, this is the easy, the shorthand, right? Because that’s a lot, you know what I mean? Like what I just took you through.

is a lot. And what’s so great is you can bring it right to consciousness, right to the moment simply by red earth, teal water, ring of fire, globe of light. Boom.

Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. So that is one of my favorite go -tos. There are other prayers and charms that I carry with me, practices, where if I want to tap into a little angelic something, something, if I want to call in whatever I am feeling called to in the moment.

whatever my intuition is saying, right? Oh yeah, while you’re in there, while you’re setting a little, you know, protection, you can also think of these concentric circles. Basically you’re creating an energetic grid, right? And if you’ve done any of this work before, you might be familiar with that term because, you know, you can set a protective grid on your property, right? In and around your home, right?

to also have that protection. We’ll talk about, we’ll dive into some of that other stuff in future episodes, because there’s so much, right? I just wanted to introduce my favorite go -to. I use it pretty much on a daily basis. So when do I use it? I use it when I’m heading out into the world, right? I use it when I’m getting behind the wheel of my car. I use it like, you know, let’s say I’m going to meet someone.

Charisse Sisou (26:10.894)

I use it anytime I get a little intuition like, Hey, did you do that today? Like, don’t forget to do that. Right. And just always trust that. Now, does this replace if you’re getting an intuition like don’t go there? Are you like, Oh, well, Sri said, just say this protection prayer and I’ll be fine. Trust your intuition first. So this does not, this did not bypass your existing.

detection system, right? So meaning, you know, if you’re in a situation that’s like, I’m getting a no for whatever reason, like I’m getting a no on going in that room or stopping by this place or, you know, I’m getting a get out of this joint right now. You know what I mean? Like sometimes that’ll happen too. Like you’ll be in a place that’ll just be like, yeah, I got to get out of here, you know? And again, not in a fearful.

right? Although fear is a message, right? It can be a message or if you’re getting like a little just, you know, a little hmm like something doesn’t feel right here. You know, we’ve all had that feeling. Something doesn’t feel right here. Trust that. Say the protection prayer anyway and get the heck out of there anyway. Do you know what I’m saying? So it does not replace. This is not a cure -all. Okay?

This is a how do I set my energetic grid for moving through the world in a way where I feel safe, protected, or just remind myself that I am safe and protected always. Right. So, all right, my loves, that’s my little note for the day. Let me know what you what you think. Like, what are your favorite protection practices?

And what would you like to hear about in a future episode? I am here to serve, right? I am here as just to pass along what I’ve learned. My journey has been, you know, up, down, all around. Like it’s a Diana Ross song. Like it is all of the things. And, you know, so as I get the instinct to share a tool, I will share that tool. And for sure, if there’s something that I’ve touched on or spoken on,

Charisse Sisou (28:37.838)

that raises a question for you. I want to hear about it. You can always drop a note in the comments under the YouTube video. You can DM me on Instagram. I’m here. I’m a real person. And I’m here to support. I was given the message that I am here to broadcast the energy of…

unconditional love and to teach from within that. And, um, and it, you know, so I am just sharing the practices that I use myself, the practices that have helped me go from, Oh my goodness, like a really just stressed out, anxiety ridden, grief stricken, like really tough path to where I am now. It doesn’t mean that I don’t have

crappy days, because of course they do. Doesn’t mean that I don’t find myself in situations where I go, like, you knew better. Why?

Charisse Sisou (29:51.406)

And oh my goodness, like light, like light. Oh my gosh. I wanted to say night and day. And what came out of my mouth was light and day. It’s like light and day. I spent the first several decades, like, well, for sure, first 20 years, but like into well into my twenties where I just felt like I was.

underwater and the world was a gray and hopeless place. And if you are there my friend or you’ve you know you’ve been there and I know and you know what I’m talking about my heart goes out to you because I know how um fathomless it can feel. And my own path was a baby step by baby step.

I found my way to the surface. And I’ll never forget the day when I realized that somehow I’d been just, like my eyes were just above the surface of that fathomless ocean, gray, vast space. And I just had kind of been there for a while. And I was like, whoa, whoa, I can see color.

You know what I mean? Like, I don’t mean that literally, just, but I, it was like, whoa, there’s hope here. There’s light here. And so that’s been my journey. And I, I am just, you know, I am on fire to share the tools that I learned that helped me get to that place because I remember where I was and I know where I am now. And even though it’s not perfect because…

I think things only get perfect when we’re just in that ether. No, let me rephrase that. Things are perfect every single day. And we can forget so easily, so easily be knocked into, you know, whatever vibration just because of a conversation and interaction, you know, a taken on of a something that’s not ours before we realize it and like.

Charisse Sisou (32:12.494)

put it down. Speaking as a sensitive, you know, myself that will take up, you know, and take on other folks energy just like, like that. We have choices around that, you know. So how have I learned how to protect my energy and move about the day with greater sovereignty and freedom?

These are the practices and this is one of my faves and there are so, oh my gosh, there are so many other ones and sometimes I use other ones, but this is like one of my go -tos just because it’s so simple, but it comprises like so much, right? Isn’t it potent? Like, thank you, Rosanne. Thank you, grandfather. Thank you, ancestors. Like, thank you, thank you, thank you for this tool. Red Earth, teal water, ring of fire, globe of light. Mm, juicy.

So take that forth with you from my heart to yours.

May you always be safe. May you always be free. May you always be in love, from my heart to yours. I love you. Take what you need and pass it on. Mwah!
