Bubble of Protection

A meditative discipline I habitually invoke when beginning a drive or during it when traffic is tight or I feel the macrocosm is in distress and affecting other's driving emotionally.

I breathe deep and exhale slowly,

collect the energy between electrons,

combine and embrace ethos particles.

Fortuna, Tara, and Soteria bless my effort.

Loki turns away.

I build a focused, sparkling golden cylinder

centered and virtual

a loving, positive, powerful 

tower of power rising above

waxing and waning,

harnessed energy of the moment,

focused power of combined minds,

a dynamic spiritual valence,

collected into a dynamic visual image

then as I drive,

merge, intersect, encounter, observe,

I shove down-and-out at atomic speed.

a flushed nuclear blast.

causing a sphere of pleasure, 

of fluid balance and safety,

of focus for all within reach.

calm, courteous thoughts,

smiles, clarity, and friendliness,

surround me, returning energy.

this protective bubble moves with me

through my travels.

I smile a genuine smile, 

secure.

You make some smile on my face by your glorious words you dropped into this marvelous happily enjoyable reading piece.

I had to take a deep breath while reading this. Your wisdom is shining here and your poem is pulled together perfectly with your extensive word choice and descriptive language. I love this.

Thank you Justjenn_2u. I've evoked this little ritual in some form for many years, so I've had much time to think about how to express it to others. Peace.

I liked how the negative vibrations were replaced with positive ones through mental exercise. A cleansing poem that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Over time I've evolved through various daily rituals centered on meditation and feel I've reached a calm, centered approach to my daily life. I rarely stress or grow angry. I see beauty in nearly everyone. This has become an exercise I do before pulling from my driveway on any trip more than a few blocks away from my home. I will do this when stranded in stop-and-go traffic and have many times had smiles and nods returned by those around me. I think that if we could all effect the macrocosm around us positively, our world would be a happier place.

[Praveeta]

This is such a lovely approach. May smile and positivity infect everyone on earth.

It seemed as though you intersected a perfect balance between peace and force. In the poem you described collecting electrons and a golden cylinder as if it might been a bomb of sorts. But then you add words like "love, peace, joy, genuine."

And to me thats fascinating. I do feel cleansed and joyful after reading this. And I think a lot more people should read this pome and take away their own personal decryption's of this and utilize that in their life.

And I mean that.

There is a macrocosmic mind. A combination of everyone's mind, a mood and an emotion that flows and ebbs and effects many of the more sensitive souls at one time. A tragic national or international event is when it is most visible. I think it's possible to stroke that awareness and have a positive effect on it. That's what I'm writing about here. Thank you for your complimentary review.

I think that if a person has a burden, render it a gift. I could sit & cry all day, or. . . I could use that raw emotion and create something artistic- something healthy. In this way, I can cope with whatever is troubling me, while releasing the emotion that is linked to a disturbing thought.
All things are constantly in the act of becoming. . . With this in mind, I'd like to think that I am engaged in transcending.
*note the active use of the adjective, lol

Protection is a necessity and the woven thoughts included with it here are humbling and beautifully voiced, good to read you hon x

Thank you sweet Poppy. I drive many miles in a week within the city traffic. I'm absolutely convinced that when I build this meditation into my drive here and there, I see smiles and courtesy in response.

[Chandler bing]

Such an amazing work I feel cleansed after reading this thank you for sharing it with us.

Thank you for reading and commenting. I create and practice as many positive, meditational, spirit-driven rituals in a day as I can manage. I feel truly blessed, healthy, happy and quite content as a result. Peace.

Your inspiration amused me. I too feel inspired while driving. What many don't know is...most of my work was written while driving. "shhhhhhhhhhh"

If the drive is long I start to trance. The music is playing and my Muses start to sing and/or speak to me.

Your poem also seemed to speak of a meta-physical event. Very intriguing. I'm so glad I stopped by.

[papaed]

And I thank you for your read and comment. I also feel inspired often while driving. It's away from other pressures, and allows focus. The act is a kind of meditation.

[Chloe..Across the Unive..]

A calm, relaxing poem and a protective bubble , genuine smile, not fake and pretentious makes for
a very nice read this early morning. Very well written :)
But what about Loki?

[papaed]

Loki, the rabble rouser and trouble maker, is held away. Captured and held away to permit peace and harmony to dominate for all within the bubble. This is a positive, strengthening, confidence-building mental affirmation/exercise I do when traveling or driving to/from work, especially if I sense a disruption or discord in the macrocosm. Thank you for reading and commenting, Chloe.

[Chloe..Across the Universe]

You are welcome and thanks for telling me about Loki , hope you and your family are well.

[Antoñyo]

A different feel than I'm used to... I somehow relate to this despite the fact that I'll never be as focused.
Thanks for the share

[papaed]

Never is a long time, my distant friend. And 45 or 50 years in your future, you will have a different perspective.

[TL Boehm]

I smile a genuine smile - secure. Oh. Beautiful. I've missed reading you! And then to come back to this gem. WOW. I found the line "Loki Turns away" I am working on a book called the Loki Stone. A bit of it is posted here but I don't know how much I'll put up.
Send me read requests! So awesome to see you!

[papaed]

Thank you dear one. As you can see, I'm trying to get online more and read and react more myself. Maybe I can get back to writing more often too. Peace.
