How to draw a protective circle: - from the book Ordo Ascensum Aetrynalis by E.A. Koetting:
Third Flame. p48
Lesson One:
[How to draw a protective circle with your energy, anytime, anywhere.]
MEDITATE and open chakras. Stand, facing east. Raise your arms and join your hands together as was done with forming a Sphere. Inhale and visualize/feel a dark blue energy gather in your hands, coming both from the ground and the air, and also from deep within. “Push” the blue protective energy into your index and middle fingers, until it is clearly sensed.
Lower arms, feeling the indigo energy concentrated mainly in your right hand. Close left fist and lower it either to your side or place it palm-out over the small of your back. Keep right hand index and middle fingers extended, still carrying the energy as it moves. Keeping right arm straight at elbow and wrist, lower it until your two extended fingers point at the ground a few feet in front of your feet.
Push the indigo energy from your fingers into a ray that touches the ground pointed at. Feel more blue energy coming into you, and immediately discharging through your fingers, as if you have become a facet for the energy. Visualize the blue ray turning into an inextinguishable flame of the same color.
With fingers still sending an energy ray to the ground, begin slowly pivoting or rotating your body clockwise, or to the south (deosil). Make sure you keep your arm straight, moving only in a circle with your body. See the indigo flame leaving a burning circle on the ground around you, until your fingers point again to the eastern ground. Exhaust remaining energy at the point where the circle completes. Drop your right arm to your side, and notice the burning blue circle surrounding you. You should be able to sense its presence and protective power. See it at least in your mind to the extent of knowing the exact boundaries of the Circle. Sometimes the flame’s heat can even be felt.
Doing this, there is no need for a physical representation of the Circle.
Once you can draw a Circle in this manner successfully, stand in the center of the Circle and raise both arms straight out to the sides, parallel to the ground - forming a cross of your body. Call, in a clear and commanding voice:
“The Circle is fortified in all planes, and is powerful in my service. The flames burn forever to protect me, and to illuminate this astral region. One Eternal round - this Circle will not be broken!”
After this is pronounced, you may not step or reach out of the Circle. For now, it is the only barrier between yourself and any nearby entities or harmful influences. It is also recognized as a Divine force, which ALL things respect.
…
To banish the Circle, stand facing east. Hold your hands, palms facing east, level with your hips, about a foot from your body. Visualize your hands pulsing with the same blue energy that the Circle is composed of. Sweep your hands upwards and in front of you, visualizing the entirety of the border of the Circle being swept away with the motion. As you sweep the Circle away, Will the indigo energy to dissipate and assimilate into its origin. Continue doing this until the Circle is gone.

Personal notes by Mulberry:
This is not only a circle - it’s a sphere, a bubble all around you, above and below. I like to chant the Awen (Aum, or Amen, or or “Om mani padme hum”, or do the Resonant Tuning from the Munroe Inst. (these are all the same thing)), as I create the circle. You can also do it in white light, I like golden-white light myself.
