Psalms for Protection

The Book of Psalms is thousands of years old. The power of the psalms is undeniable. Each psalm has a different use, but all are effective. The trick to making them work is to read them with your soul, not only your lips. As with any spiritual tool, you must believe, with every cell in your body, in the power they hold. Of course, you must have the Holy Bible handy; any version will do.


How to do it:
When alone, with no distractions, sit on the ground (if you cannot sit on the ground because of a physical aliment, a chair or bench is perfectly acceptable) in a place that makes you feel comfortable and safe. This place could be in your house, outside near a tree or body of water, or inside a church or synagogue. Cross your legs in front of you, close your eyes, and imagine a bright white light encircling your body and stretching out in front of you. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. Free your mind of fear, stress, or daily obligations (forget about the laundry, the project due the next day, or what you have to fix for dinner). When your head feels clear, open your eyes. Locate the psalm of your choice in your Bible and in a clear, yet calm and quiet voice, recite the text.

The individual in question could be "possessed" by drug or alcohol addiction, not the "devil." Please do not attempt to exorcise a person because he or she simply acts or thinks differently than you do. That is just weird, not to mention morally illegal.
