Is it required to state an affirmation before aura cleaning?
Currently I am doing...
Brigid x9 (normal before any task for me)
"Sowilo is cleansing and removing any and all negative energy, thoughtforms, bindings, ill will, and curses on or connected to my soul that have been directed at me, and is returning them to their senders." x3
Sowilo x20
Then visualizing the Sowilo rune desending through my body and cleansing my soul three times.
Sauil x16
"I am always spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally safe, secure, protected, powerful, strong and healthy in every way." x3
Is this a correct way to do aura cleaning and protection? Or should I not bother affirming the Sowilo vibrations when using it to clean?
