| There are several techniques some experts use. | | | | using your hand or whatever fingers you used to write |
| The first is to surround yourself with a bubble of light | | | | the symbols, drag them into the next corner and work |
| or discharge often the negative energy from your | | | | back around to the initial corner, repeating the symbols |
| hands into a container with water. Someone also | | | | there. |

| Another method is to light a candle with the intention of | | | | and always say a prayer of gratitude afterwards to |

| You can also smudge yourself by taking the bundle | | | | Try not to get involved with the "pain story" which is |
