I'm the same as suzy - I don't do any kind of protection.
The way I figure it, is if you do use protection, you are telling your subconscious that there is
something to be protected from... and more often than not the subconscious will manifest what it has been told to believe.
I've come across sticky situations and a few mean characters, but I know I can't be harmed. That's what works for me. Heck, I once came across a blue-skinned guy with horns on his head in my bedroom. I decided to laugh at him. I was laughing so much and pointing at him that I was bent double. The next time I looked up, he'd gone...poof...just like that.
