This prayer for protection is one I created to use as a final prayer for Shacharit (morning prayers) each day. As I say each verse I reach down to the earth and draw energy up my body; clapping my hands together over my head when I say the last word of the first line. Then I move the energy around my head on the second line, and release it back over my body on the last two words.
For me, I’m creating a virtual/energetic tallit to wear over my body during the day to set the intention against harming others or being harmed by others.
