Sovereign Sphere
Embodied Energetic Protection
Michelle Igraine
With so much happening on the world stage, many people are now understandably experiencing fight, flight or freeze, PTSD trauma responses. If left to stagnate it can lead to depression, and since lock down there have been even more unnecessary and devastating suicides. Therefore, the interest in self-care and somatic awareness healing modalities are now stepping further into the limelight, and supporting us to listen less with our minds and more with our body’s primal intelligence and healing capacity. Peter Levine shares in his book Waking the Tiger, that we can gradually learn to remember how to shake and release immediate charge, just like an animal does in the wild after a chase. I imagine that we are mostly all sensing a threat to our safety in varying degrees, whatever perspective we have of what is occurring worldwide. Therapeutic support is suggested if we want to explore the more deeply held traumas that we’ve learned to withhold.
I have found a practice of strengthening my energy field leaves me less vulnerable to heavy energies in the environment that can be attracted to the denser frequencies in my body. I noticed this happened for me during emotionally charged situations or in surroundings with dense Wi-Fi radiation. I experienced fogginess with a subtle sense of anxiousness, and for me, if left unprocessed, I would gradually become heavy and tired and eventually a painful headache would intensify. With intention, breath and sound vibrations, I learned to clear this swiftly before it could take hold. I have also used strong declarations to cut contracts with what I experienced as unconscious ancestral ties that seemed to hold me in recurring patterns. The first time I spoke the declaration out loud I noticed a shift and after speaking this declaration for a month I felt drastically different. I use a longer version when I am particularly challenged (see p. 78), and I connect to the energy of The Haka, to bring me back into my Sovereign ownership of my body/mind/ spirit - My land. More regularly I use a shorter version, spoken spontaneously from my heart.
As I stand, I gradually shake my whole body loose for a while, I then state my Sovereignty declaration whilst allowing my imagination to naturally present a landscape that is resourcing to me, in that moment, a landscape where I am rooted to Earth and witnessed by Sky. I close my eyes to this world and dive into the deep self that ignites the Source alive within my intention and breath. I feel the aligned forces of North, East, South and West awakening in my cells and around me, so my inner child feels held and witnessed by a safe presence of universal tribe. Breath, sighs, and sound vibrate free all that no longer serves me into the earth for transformation. Very gentle spiralling movements of stillness spontaneously rise with breath and I surf the waves of my inner realms, whilst softly massaging the earth with the caresses of my soles. A potent beauty field surrounds me, born from the fire within me, establishing energetic protection. Body as brush, artist of the self in motion, I dance without moving my feet and restore my free and dignified self. Opening and closing like a dewy fern in moss, I reclaim my own land again, whilst alchemising stagnation and pain into new life. Tears are received as gold, and I am restored to Mother/Father adult/spirit, who cares for my body/mind/soul, as the child. Sacred Trinity. Each dance unique to the needs of the body and spirit of that day. Sometimes in exquisite softness, at other times in fierce clarity of movement and power.
As a young girl, the already normalised lack of self-care and personal boundaries was entrenched further, by the enforcement of schooling whilst I was bleeding, exhausted, and in pain. This created an emotional struggle of inner suppression and ill health from not feeling supported in honouring my self and fertile health, as a potential mother of future generations. Confirming that my instinctual needs and blossoming intuition did not matter and that the protection of my feminine essence carried less weight than a dirty joke. The golden essence of infinite strength and innocence wandered bewildered and masked, in a wide array of strategies until I called her home to kinder shores.
As a Mother, I know that I am not alone in my concern when children’s true needs are ignored to support a world structure rooted in commerce and domination over all that is vulnerable. I recognise this distorted structure as both inside and outside of myself, and I feel both need to be addressed to find alignment to a natural state of powerful peace, and the simplicity of Natural Law/Common Law reclaimed on our lands in futures/now. ‘Do no harm to self, earth, and all beings.’
As I witness the level of confusion our young have to contend with in order to hold their well being, I noticed a big push on phrases/memes like, be the best version of your self, create impact, extraordinary you, stay positive and on it goes. To create whole people in a clearly insane world is more complex than keeping them positive, so as not to have to deal with the depths of suppressed pain they are collectively holding. It reminds me of my younger years when I journeyed through a time where I took on the suggestion that only love exists, so therefore there was nothing to protect myself from or to learn how to transform. I now feel that this ultimate truth perspective has become a collective transcending strategy that seemed originally to birth from a more New Age spirituality. From my perspective, the desire to be simply positive seems to have morphed with general pragmatism which keeps us passive and ok with not processing emotions, as it can feel too complex. Finding the balance between just being and taking personally guided action, within a web of world deceit, is a journey of self-reflection and needed questioning of our culture. If we live in a collective soup of denial and desperate fear, no wonder we struggle with our sanity when all is saying just be positive, without the basic understandings of emotional self-care. I believe this has also created a naivety to not only the understanding of energetic vampirism between humans but also to denser dimensional energies around us.
I noticed the self-protection practices I had previously learned were gradually sidelined as an unnecessary acknowledgment of darkness. I found this a confusing time, as I was so aware of the fundamental duality of life that needs to be cultivated on Earth. Only by focusing on the positive, creates an imbalance in itself. Imbalances are created from the denial of heavier frequencies and influences within ourselves and outside ourselves. Chaotic experiences in our lives can gain momentum until we listen, and learn how to gradually integrate all aspects of our psyche, back home to our hearts and body, with compassion for all we have journeyed through to be here now. A journey that needs courage to face that which is hidden and yet, so rewarding even in the most painful of healing moments.
Over the years I have experimented with protection or no protection, consciously and unconsciously, and I have found that it has made a huge difference in staying more grounded. From my perspective, we are experiencing huge information disclosure with equally huge suppressive regulations, that many are finding terrifyingly swift and ferocious. Amongst the usual misinformation that has been intensified, there is also blatant lying propaganda and general confusion, creating chaos that keeps us distracted from that which likes to creep up, like a fox in the night. Understandably, many people are becoming numb and addictions are rising overwhelmingly from within a sea of differing beliefs. Everything magnified with the question “what is true?” so the unfelt energetic field can be very dense.
I witness divide and rule strategies as crucial, in this ‘Game of Thrones’. A physical and metaphysical storm is raging, and it seems to be forcing us to return to the eye at the centre of our deep self, so we can make profound choices for ourselves and be friends with our ultimate solo journey. All this whilst staying compassionately aware of the pain of others with our differing opinions, and sharing our personal truth if and when we are moved to, without using attacking strategies or absorbing the energies of others, ready to stand our ground, whilst staying open to change, if we care to really listen. This is a lot to navigate in these times, and it seems the general consensus is that it can take a lot of practice, learning from many awkward experiences, especially if we are questioning what is happening from a less appreciated perspective.
Releasing tension regularly leaves us less charged or stressed, and can also strengthen our immune system. This has felt important for me so I have less chance of handing over my health rights to others in search of control. I feel I need to be well and present for the protection of my loved ones and for life itself. So, being aligned to a greater vision of the world throughout the day, in the face of treachery is crucial, gradually gaining more knowledge of my sovereign rights and peaceful truth, no matter what the outcome. We are all vital pieces of the puzzle, it is in our interest to be as well as possible, so to keep our spirit safely anchored in our body. In extreme times, for this strength to be whole, I believe we must be aware to not merge into a controlled unity that likes to deceive through false hope. Truth is facing all shadows inside and out, and taking responsibility for our sovereign organic self is needed more than ever. Taking the robotic place within us off the steering wheel before trans-humanist cyborgs are reflected back to us as the new normal. James Lovelock, author of ‘Gaia Theory’ and respected scientist states in his recent book ‘Novacene’ “The understanders of the future will not be humans but what I choose to call ‘cyborgs’ that will have designed and built themselves.”
NBC review on Lovelock’s book... Lovelock describes cyborgs as the self-sufficient, self-aware descen- dants of today’s robots and artificial intelligence systems. He calls the looming era of their dominance the Novacene — literally, the “new new” age.
This perception of evolution is now trying to take hold, whilst we are busy being understandably overwhelmed. But still, The Fourth Industrial Revolution marches on whilst threatening the so-called Luddites to ‘back off’, so the ‘Internet of Things’ can become our upgraded distorted Mother/Father structure for further abusive control.
But, this all needs our consent. What will we choose from a more conscious place?
Facing the prospect that many of our green organisations/movements/party’s are either hijacked or were always controlled opposition, is a betrayal that I imagine many will need to find their own way to assimilate on top of everything else we are being forced to process. We have presidents heralded as the saviors of humanity, as hidden deeds of despicable darkness are revealed, whilst prince’s party with paedophiles and celebrities are treated like politicians and royalty.
May we reclaim our sacred, organic, and humane land within. Let’s not allow the taking of our ancient land rights from under our feet, even more so, by the manipulators that we have given too much power to in our ignore - ance. For all of this, we need our anchored lightness of being, as we declare You Shall Not Pass. Inside and out.
There are many global meditations and energy clearings now available which tap into the hive mind and collectivism which of course seems like a good step forward for many after too many years of the over cultivation of the individual. Staying aware of what we consent to on every level of our being is essential now, as it seems that the global agenda of forced unity works through our deepest desire for true unity. Without a solid knowing of our boundaries this can leave us even more vulnerable. Beyond the divides and the hijacking of all we thought was true, our hearts wait to pulse as one, yet unique. The silent war on humanity with quiet weapons, will dissolve, as we face the darkness with courage and remember that we are the Guardians of Earth, not a virus.
Navigating between connected heart feelings and suppressed emotions can be complex, so taking time to feel and observe with my body wisdom can help me assimilate. It supports me to differentiate between what needs to be met by me for private healing, and what needs to be witnessed by another for therapeutic support, and what needs to be understood by me, before trying to communicate with others. With practice, intention, and imagin-ation, creating a shield, orb, or sphere can be immediate. Yet when created with the whole body, it brings so many dimensions alive, including the harmonising effect of the fundamental Masculine and Feminine that lives within all life. Gentle spiralling of the body coaxes our innocent sensuality into being again. Without effort or observation. Life rises in all its colours, through and around the engaged spine, whose strength and fluidity supports us to not collapse into despairing places, but instead allow feelings to rise and fall, transformed with wordless heart soundings of connected human expression, that is so needed now. With fire in our belly, we rise as the dance itself, seen from within and restored. From reconnection comes clarity and what action is needed for self, life, and family is revealed.
Sovereign Sphere guidelines - short version
(Full version below)
Thought is immediate. The power of our thoughts combined with our hearts and absolute knowing is what is needed for instant healing and protection. Cultivating our faith, trust and knowing is the key. Doubt is the culprit that keeps us unnecessarily weighted with energy that simply needs to pass through to the earth for transformation. We do need deep and nurturing time, yet at other times, we just need to make it swift before it catches hold and we become drained.
Clear all energy around you by making the sound ‘Hah’ or ‘Shah’ from your belly, and imagine you instantly dispersing anything inside or outside yourself that is heavy and uninvited.
Shake out your body and release some sighs. Vibrate in sound as much as you can, as you breathe and enjoy slow, yet powerful opening movements that are unique to you in this moment.
Soft sighs from the belly really do a lot though, if you can’t or don’t want to make too much sound.
Create a swift and potent movement to ground the calling in of the four directions, connected to Source energy and nothing less.
Bend knees slightly and close your eyes, come down into your belly and release tension in the eyes, whilst imagining your whole body igniting with bright diamond light within every cell.
See, sound and move with your breath and your connection deep into the earth and kneel, or lay flat, and surrender. Drink in deeply the Crystalline Earth energies.
Imagine them, feel them rising around you in Earthly glistening pastel shades, as you move, spiral and breath. A full embodied sphere of beauty and life force around you, ignited from within you and any other images that come to you of strength and beauty.
Imagine Source energy cascading and cleansing you from the stars, staying within yourself - don’t jump out of the body, stay grounded in the universe within your being.
See, feel, sound, imagine and dance with the Father sky energy, flooding the Mother earth palette around you, until they merge as one new colour and feeling. Feel the newness of being.
Feel and become the Mother/Father adult, in gratitude for life and caring for the sacred child, which is represented by your physical body. Listening throughout the day to what she needs with care and attention, whilst still being in service to life and others,
maintaining balance.
May Peace and strength reign within your beauty field.
A Sovereign Sphere or a simple shield of protection. Call it what you may, as this is ancient and simple knowing, and let us not whither, no matter how challenged we may be.
Grounded from within.
Sovereign Sphere guidelines to dance in the deep...
(full version)
Wake up and declare your sovereignty and eternal freedom, no matter what is happening to attempt to challenge this in the world or your own psyche.
"I am Source energy, and I choose to care for myself, so I can be in service to life, in balance and anchored to my body and earth" (or anything that resonates from your heart that day.)
Call the Divine energies of North, South, East, and West that are connected to 100% pure organic Source energy and nothing less!
Place four candles in the four directions.
Stand with your feet hip-width apart, imagine your spine lengthening and observe any tense holding patterns. Witness the aspects of the psyche that judge any sensation of discomfort and just allow it to release or simply be as it is with breath and care of attention.
Shake or dance for five minutes or more, to release any unnecessary energetic energy from sleeping realms. You might feel the need to bring more fire energy to really move heavy, sluggish energy within. (Imagine the women doing the Haka and creating a safe space for themselves.)
Roll head to chest and roll downwards, releasing the spine and bending the knees at the same time, unravelling deliciously until you are laying down and sighing with each vertebrae's opening.
All according to what time frame you have, and what you want to focus on, you can use yoga, simple natural slow stretching exercises or some part of your self-care routine to reconnect and ground yourself.
Close your eyes and come within, beneath the stories of the mind and this world.
Three deep sighs observing the power of your belly contracting and igniting the embers of life.
Three strong sounds of "Ahhhh" that resonate and start the vibrations, dancing and cleansing, in every cell.
Breathe into your belly and allow your being to expand in all directions equally. Feel your belly contracting and releasing the stagnant air from your lungs.
Place your hands upon your belly and become your breath (observe if you are trying to dance or with an idea of what you need to look like, let this go).
Drop deeper into the experience of becoming the breath moving all over your body and allowing your body to move you, very slowly and exquisitely.
Nowhere to go, this is it. Become one in simplicity and innocent sensuality of the child and woman as one, unobserved, no effort or masks at play. Notice the mind stories and images that attempt to sabotage the simplicity of being.
Like a fern as night and day, roll up and down with each breath. Slowly and deeply enjoy allowing the pace for this unique moment of self-exploration.
Experiment with very slowly spiralling and moving side to side, intending to be moved by the breathe.
Focusing on staying with the breath and not trying to DO anything. Be moved.
Place your hands upon your belly as you breathe, hands lifting a little away from belly/womb, softly. Becoming aware of your spine opening and lengthening with care and filling yourself full of Source crystalline energy into every cell.
Imagining a fire gradually being stoked by the bellows of lungs and belly in unison. This fire expands and with every breath, you are filled with your Source within and you are surrounded by the Source energy without.
Every exhalation you release the energetic sludge to Mother Earth, knowing she can and will compost and transform it.
Allow the arms to rise softly up as you imagine your brain igniting with diamond-light and pastel shades of beauty.
As you imagine, so the frequency you become.
Hands and arms pulsating with breath and music and sounding
"Ahhhhhh"
Any sound from belly and heart that feels right for you, simply rises and moves through you. It may gradually become an un-worded heart song.
Softly or loudly all is vibrating, spiralling as breath and imagin- ation, slowly through your energy centres, until you feel you are full of Source Life Energy. A potent, beautiful field of powerful protection.
Release your head to the chest and slowly roll to the earth as you sigh, and allow every vertebra to open, letting your nervous system be soothed.
Send your energy down into the deep earth through mud and rocks to the centre, and imagine yourself absorbing the earth energy with images that feel replenishing, freeing and nourishing for you.
When you're finished, call the energy up and back into you, creating a field of beauty and potency with your hands and your whole body, spinning slowly, following your body's desire of speed, remembering to breathe.
Expanding the colour of the earth energies all around you with 'Her' deeper sounds vibrating through you and surrounding you.
Gradually come back to standing, finish creating this sphere of vibrant sparkling earth colour and nourishing frequencies of strength and love.
Stay focused within (sending your energy outwards from my experience can be vulnerable) and call upon the Divine Father energies of Source energy and 'nothing less' from the stars within. Craft the image of a source waterfall that's cleansing the energy above you, and imagine the colours of the cosmic realms entering the Mother Sphere, swirling together like a lava lamp. Masculine and Feminine dancing together until another colour of unity is created.
Your whole body slowly turning in innocent sensuality whilst the heart speaks in images, sensations and whisperings from the stillness of full-body aliveness.
If tears come then allow them, and stay with the breath for it will pass if allowed to fully be heard and welcomed.
Now you are fully protected and vibrating, create an intention for your day.
You can either go forward into your gratitude, or you can now explore aspects of your psyche. In the safety of your Sovereign Sphere, the exploration is yours to discover.
Continually anchoring and cultivating expansion, contraction, strength, power and softness explore the adventure of expressing all feelings and sensations with the sounds and movements that are revealed in their own unique moment.
A simple structure allowing for the undogmatic freedom of expression of your spirit, alongside the wounded self. A space to dance and integrate whilst being witnessed by life and the four corners of the universe holding you safe.
May Peace, Beauty, Strength, and the sacred balance of life, be felt within.

It supports me to differentiate between what needs to be met by me for private healing, and what needs to be witnessed by another for therapeutic support, and what needs to be understood by me, before trying to communicate with others.

Soft sighs from the belly really do a lot though, if you can’t or don’t want to make too much sound.
Create a swift and potent movement to ground the calling in of the four directions, connected to Source energy and nothing less.
Bend knees slightly and close your eyes, come down into your belly and release tension in the eyes, whilst imagining your whole body igniting with bright diamond light within every cell.
See, sound and move with your breath and your connection deep into the earth and kneel, or lay flat, and surrender. Drink in deeply the Crystalline Earth energies.
Imagine them, feel them rising around you in Earthly glistening pastel shades, as you move, spiral and breath. A full embodied sphere of beauty and life force around you, ignited from within you and any other images that come to you of strength and beauty.
Imagine Source energy cascading and cleansing you from the stars, staying within yourself - don’t jump out of the body, stay grounded in the universe within your being.
See, feel, sound, imagine and dance with the Father sky energy, flooding the Mother earth palette around you, until they merge as one new colour and feeling. Feel the newness of being.
Feel and become the Mother/Father adult, in gratitude for life and caring for the sacred child, which is represented by your physical body. Listening throughout the day to what she needs with care and attention, whilst still being in service to life and others,
maintaining balance.
May Peace and strength reign within your beauty field.
A Sovereign Sphere or a simple shield of protection. Call it what you may, as this is ancient and simple knowing, and let us not whither, no matter how challenged we may be.

Sovereign Sphere guidelines to dance in the deep...
(full version)
Wake up and declare your sovereignty and eternal freedom, no matter what is happening to attempt to challenge this in the world or your own psyche.
"I am Source energy, and I choose to care for myself, so I can be in service to life, in balance and anchored to my body and earth" (or anything that resonates from your heart that day.)
Call the Divine energies of North, South, East, and West that are connected to 100% pure organic Source energy and nothing less!
Place four candles in the four directions.
Stand with your feet hip-width apart, imagine your spine lengthening and observe any tense holding patterns. Witness the aspects of the psyche that judge any sensation of discomfort and just allow it to release or simply be as it is with breath and care of attention.
Shake or dance for five minutes or more, to release any unnecessary energetic energy from sleeping realms. You might feel the need to bring more fire energy to really move heavy, sluggish energy within. (Imagine the women doing the Haka and creating a safe space for themselves.)
Roll head to chest and roll downwards, releasing the spine and bending the knees at the same time, unravelling deliciously until you are laying down and sighing with each vertebrae's opening.
All according to what time frame you have, and what you want to focus on, you can use yoga, simple natural slow stretching exercises or some part of your self-care routine to reconnect and ground yourself.
Close your eyes and come within, beneath the stories of the mind and this world.
Three deep sighs observing the power of your belly contracting and igniting the embers of life.
Three strong sounds of "Ahhhh" that resonate and start the vibrations, dancing and cleansing, in every cell.
Breathe into your belly and allow your being to expand in all directions equally. Feel your belly contracting and releasing the stagnant air from your lungs.
Place your hands upon your belly and become your breath (observe if you are trying to dance or with an idea of what you need to look like, let this go).
Drop deeper into the experience of becoming the breath moving all over your body and allowing your body to move you, very slowly and exquisitely.
Nowhere to go, this is it. Become one in simplicity and innocent sensuality of the child and woman as one, unobserved, no effort or masks at play. Notice the mind stories and images that attempt to sabotage the simplicity of being.
Like a fern as night and day, roll up and down with each breath. Slowly and deeply enjoy allowing the pace for this unique moment of self-exploration.
Experiment with very slowly spiralling and moving side to side, intending to be moved by the breathe.
Focusing on staying with the breath and not trying to DO anything. Be moved.
Place your hands upon your belly as you breathe, hands lifting a little away from belly/womb, softly. Becoming aware of your spine opening and lengthening with care and filling yourself full of Source crystalline energy into every cell.
Imagining a fire gradually being stoked by the bellows of lungs and belly in unison. This fire expands and with every breath, you are filled with your Source within and you are surrounded by the Source energy without.
Every exhalation you release the energetic sludge to Mother Earth, knowing she can and will compost and transform it.
Allow the arms to rise softly up as you imagine your brain igniting with diamond-light and pastel shades of beauty.
As you imagine, so the frequency you become.
Hands and arms pulsating with breath and music and sounding
"Ahhhhhh"
Any sound from belly and heart that feels right for you, simply rises and moves through you. It may gradually become an un-worded heart song.
Softly or loudly all is vibrating, spiralling as breath and imagin- ation, slowly through your energy centres, until you feel you are full of Source Life Energy. A potent, beautiful field of powerful protection.
Release your head to the chest and slowly roll to the earth as you sigh, and allow every vertebra to open, letting your nervous system be soothed.
Send your energy down into the deep earth through mud and rocks to the centre, and imagine yourself absorbing the earth energy with images that feel replenishing, freeing and nourishing for you.
When you're finished, call the energy up and back into you, creating a field of beauty and potency with your hands and your whole body, spinning slowly, following your body's desire of speed, remembering to breathe.
Expanding the colour of the earth energies all around you with 'Her' deeper sounds vibrating through you and surrounding you.
Gradually come back to standing, finish creating this sphere of vibrant sparkling earth colour and nourishing frequencies of strength and love.
Stay focused within (sending your energy outwards from my experience can be vulnerable) and call upon the Divine Father energies of Source energy and 'nothing less' from the stars within. Craft the image of a source waterfall that's cleansing the energy above you, and imagine the colours of the cosmic realms entering the Mother Sphere, swirling together like a lava lamp. Masculine and Feminine dancing together until another colour of unity is created.
Your whole body slowly turning in innocent sensuality whilst the heart speaks in images, sensations and whisperings from the stillness of full-body aliveness.
If tears come then allow them, and stay with the breath for it will pass if allowed to fully be heard and welcomed.
Now you are fully protected and vibrating, create an intention for your day.
You can either go forward into your gratitude, or you can now explore aspects of your psyche. In the safety of your Sovereign Sphere, the exploration is yours to discover.
Continually anchoring and cultivating expansion, contraction, strength, power and softness explore the adventure of expressing all feelings and sensations with the sounds and movements that are revealed in their own unique moment.
A simple structure allowing for the undogmatic freedom of expression of your spirit, alongside the wounded self. A space to dance and integrate whilst being witnessed by life and the four corners of the universe holding you safe.
May Peace, Beauty, Strength, and the sacred balance of life, be felt within.
Thought is immediate. The power of our thoughts combined with our hearts and absolute knowing is what is needed for instant healing and protection. Cultivating our faith, trust and knowing is the key. Doubt is the culprit that keeps us unnecessarily weighted with energy that simply needs to pass through to the earth for transformation. We do need deep and nurturing time, yet at other times, we just need to make it swift before it catches hold and we become drained.
Clear all energy around you by making the sound ‘Hah’ or ‘Shah’ from your belly, and imagine you instantly dispersing anything inside or outside yourself that is heavy and uninvited.
