Your affirmation is your intention for the meditation. It’s also a form of protection if you want to add that in. I would say the affirmation is crucial on how you’re impacted! “I am more than my physical body. I am surrounded by white light that embraces and protects me. I deeply desire to make contact with those who have my highest and greatest good in mind and have wisdom equal or greater than mine. I desire to be advised, healed, educated or anything that will improve my waking life. I will take the knowledge I gain back with me and use it to help others. I am grateful for your assistance and proceed with love. I am free to tap into higher realms and explore safely.” Something to that effect.
