Say this prayer every morning, night and any time you feel you need to. Its important to protect our energy field from negative people and those that wish to drain us. There are alot of energy vampires out there. Even family could possibly be in a low vibration. A friend told me about this prayer and I happen to find it on the internet. Even other prayers are good. Cho ku rei ( pronounced sho ku ray ) is the symbol in reiki of power and protection.
