Shielding

Periodically I am asked about shielding technique. These question generally arise from the newly awakened and even some who aren't so new. What I tell them is the number of ways to shield depends on the individual. No two techniques are exactly the same even though they may look it on the outside.
When it comes to actual shielding the mental process will always be different. Some may visualize and out of those the vision maybe different, Still some will perform rituals in order to achieve their desired effect.
What I would like to do now is to give an example of a technique by using one of the ones I use.
I start every morning with a meditation session in which I will plan out my day become clear headed. I will then visualize my center and slowly begin to draw that outward, spreading it out like an umbrella. As I'm doing this I am repeating a prayer dedicated to the gods that be. Once I have gotten the basic shape of what it is I am trying to form I can then break it down into section of my body. Starting with the head I will visually place it inside of the umbrella shaped dome I am creating. Once there I will allow the edges to seep down on and around my shoulders. Now here is the tricky part shaping the the arms visualize yourself sticking your arm into a sleeve and in your minds eye do it. From there you let it ease down to the ground.

Now what that was is what some may say is slightly simplistic. Truth is that it is simplistic. See personal shielding is just that, personal. Some of the more basic styles involve plating, bubble, and box With plating one must envision a suit of armor with each piece being a separate part that overlaps each other. With the bubble, that one is pretty self explanatory of itself. Same concept as the others. With a box one might think the same of it as with the bubble and although the concept of enveloping within a geometric shape, close attention must be used with the joints of it.

Well that's pretty much the scope of my knowledge. I will say that with practice this all will become second nature. Another relaxer is take your time, Rome may not have been built in a day but it didn't burn in Rome either so pace yourself and the information will come to you. Shielding is easy once fundamentals are achieved. My personal take on them is they are basically energy constructs and that each style and technique varies in what they are geared toward. So get all the literature and read as many articles that you can get a hold of because as I said, fundamentals are the key.
