Clearing and Cleansing Mantra

Father - Mother- God, thank you for clearing and cleansing me in the Christ Light. Within your limitless healing and transmuting energies, by God's will and my highest good, I thank you for removing completely all negativity in any form:  Impersonally with neither love nor hate, through the I AM Power, I return all negativity to its source of emanation with no reversal upon myself, decreeing that it never again be allowed to re-establish within me or anyone else.  Within the concept of individual freewill may this negative emanation turn to you Father for love. Thank you, Father - Mother - God for placing me within the impenetrable white Christ Light of Protection. So be it.
