Vajra Armor and Multicolored Garuda

The first practice is Vajra Armor. Think Padmasambhava manifests as Vajra Armor, and while you recite the mantra, request to purify all the disease, negative karmas, spirit harm and obscurations collected since beginningless rebirth.

[Make requests] to actualize bodhicitta without delay and to achieve the ultimate wisdom realizing emptiness, the essence that ceases the root of samsara. Pray to actualize the whole path to enlightenment as quickly as possible for sentient beings.

Then Padmasambhava sends white beams, loving kindness and compassion to you so that all the sickness is purified, as well as what I mentioned before (sickness, spirit harm, negative karma and defilements from beginningless rebirths) and all realizations up to enlightenment are actualized. Then recite the mantra.

The next practice is multicolored Garuda. Recite the mantra with the same visualization. Padmasambhava manifests as multicolored Garuda and emits white beams purifying the four things, including naga harm, and you receive all the realizations. Then recite the mantra twenty or thirty times.

Start both practices with refuge and bodhicitta.

Motivate not just for your own happiness but for numberless sentient beings. You are doing this practice in order to free them from the oceans of samsaric sufferings and bring them to ultimate happiness, enlightenment. Then start the practice and at the end, dedicate the merits.
