Now, whenever I feel weak, powerless and out of control, I close my eyes, envision these hands and put MYSELF into them.
I have used this visualization - as a matter of fact, I've been using it daily for the past week or so... I read about it in one of my books a long time ago, and it really does work... there's a lot of symbolism in terms of letting go and turning things over to your HP, and even though I'm not what you'd call "religious" - it still is a very powerful tool when I feel overwhelmed by someone or something.
