Protecting yourself in the Astral...please help!

Hi :)

My only problem with the Astral is the negative entities (whom i call illusions simply to take away the fear their name invokes for me!)

Now, I come accross them each time i project, but each time they win at some point or other and i come zooming back to my body (and end up not intentionally projecting for months afterwards!)

Last time i did the course (years ago now) i remember the Bellilin 'chant' - I used to do this, i'd say it as soon as i was in the 'tunnel' coming out of my body, just to kind of clear the way but rarely did it work... Even when i was faced eye to eye with a nasty entity and i'd say the Bellilin but it wouldnt go away, usually the neg would scare me back before i could finish the first chant let alone managing to say it 3 times...

Maybe its because i don't know what it means! can anybody tell me please? what does each word mean and why does it have an effect on neg's? also, i remember you had to say it in a certain tone, but how does this work for people of other languages? it is maybe just a 'placebo' and really have no effect at all other than our belief that it will work...

..also you had to say it at quite a deep tone and ive got a high, girl voice..so how does that work?

apart from the different ways to protect yourself in the astral that are provided in the course, what is the best method you've found?

any help would be great, thankyou :)
