and in another instance, the best defense is: (which is considered a standard)
- Ground and centre;
-
Code:
Set up a protective barrier;
-
Code:
Reinforce that barrier every day;
-
Code:
As you increase your internal strength, increase the range and density of that protective barrier;
How to ground and centre depends upon your belief system. (Centre: (v. t.) To collect to a point; to concentrate.(v. i.) To be placed in a center; to be central. (v. i.) To be collected to a point; to be concentrated; to rest on, or gather about, as a center. (n. & v.) See Center.(v. t.) To form a recess or indentation for the reception of a center. (v. t.) To place or fix in the center or on a central point.() Alt. of seal() Alt. of punch)
How to ground and centre depends upon your belief system. (hmmm…our belief system doesn’t encourage this!)
A circle, when discussing a centre it means that you are centered within the circle. There is more to this - however, in a general way the person who advised this doesn’t know that this method is used not only within your own religion but others. So this would have been ill advised to use it, because the recommendation given to another person had no knowledge of the reasonings and wouldn’t know the standards to this method and another thing, you would have had some previous experience with using this standard to understand it.
Example of this: A time, and place of the occurrence: the hour is three o’clock within the circle is a man kingly dressed - with the crown and dressings, he glides toward the right of the circle in a counter clockwise direction - as if he’s overseeing, moving like a clock. Outside of the circle a person stands looking on as the room now begins to move in the same counter clock direction. The man within the circle then stops - as he senses something in the room and then discontinues the movement to look for what he knows is watching him. However, when he glides toward the suspected area - he does not leave the inter-circle, but he does this with anger. Why anger? because he know something shouldn’t be in the room with him at the time - like that feeling you get when something isn’t right. Many religions use this circular method - However, the Circle in Wiccan and Pagan worship? will begin at the north and call upon the deities of the tradition from each direction however, and like I said best contact a priest on this issue before giving out or taking the advice because the church forbids (forbids) that you follow any Wiccan or Pagan standard practices in order to tame occult powers:
Divination and magic
2115 God can reveal the future to his prophets or to other saints. Still, a sound Christian attitude consists in putting oneself confidently into the hands of Providence for whatever concerns the future, and giving up all unhealthy curiosity about it. Improvidence, however, can constitute a lack of responsibility.
2116 All forms of divination are to be rejected: recourse to Satan or demons, conjuring up the dead or other practices falsely supposed to “unveil” the future.48 Consulting horoscopes, astrology, palm reading, interpretation of omens and lots, the phenomena of clairvoyance, and recourse to mediums all conceal a desire for power over time, history, and, in the last analysis, other human beings, as well as a wish to conciliate hidden powers. They contradict the honor, respect, and loving fear that we owe to God alone.
2117*** All practices of magic or sorcery, by which one attempts to tame occult powers, so as to place them at one’s service and have a supernatural power over others - even if this were for the sake of restoring their health - are gravely contrary to the virtue of religion.*** These practices are even more to be condemned when accompanied by the intention of harming someone, or when they have recourse to the intervention of demons. Wearing charms is also reprehensible. Spiritism often implies divination or magical practices; the Church for her part warns the faithful against it. Recourse to so-called traditional cures does not justify either the invocation of evil powers or the exploitation of another’s credulity.

Get the picture - on truths, some standards may stem from a rule or main principle, but they can branch off.
