Diana broought up a really interesting point on another thread about how shielding closes off both negative and positive energies, something I have recently come to realise myself. In shielding myself am I also blocking communication with other higher energies be it angels, fairies, divine etc? When I read for someone don't I need to be able to sense their energy to read for them? does shielding prevent this? I shield quite a bit, as an extremely sensitive person i have to. But at the same time I believe that to a degree- feeling someones energy allows me to be a better reader and counsellor. For me the trick is in recognising that this "feeling" is something I do not own. Anyway these are all thoughts swimming through my conciousness. What do you think about shielding in terms of negative and positive energies, and what do you do about it? Blessings,

I don't think that is necessarily true. It depends on how you envision it. When I put up a protective shield, I envision it more like a net or spiderweb of light, trapping and vaporizing negativity, but positive energy passes right through. Try using that.

the prefered method is raising one own vibration with love and light as to not block in our energies in,, and blocked people energies out.. for if we visualize a wall,, around us,, you will notice other people start to say,, hey man i can't talk to you anymore,, it is like there is a wall around you and i can't get through, and you will say you dont' know what you are talking about,, but it is true. once i went for a first meeting with a counselor,teacher ,, friend, who said come by for a visit. so i did,, and she said when i first got there she said wow,, i said what ? you put up a wall . and that happend when i was friends with a differnt lady and my mom asked her to counsel me as my brother was going through drug addications. again the wall phoenma occured. then i read when i was 20 about filling one self with light as opposed to making a dome of light so nothing can through or in. and i slowly began to humanize myself again,, letting people feel my aura, and such. it is great techique when one is down and surrounded by darkness,, but only til one can fill oneself with light and love,, and increase their vibration. i myself haven't used the shielding techiques in years. but there is a little differnt thing then shielding and that is detachment and cleaning. see ever notice sometimes when you see someone,, and they stay in your thoughts for a few days,,. that is because their aura is still in your aura, even james van pragh says in his second book that i read his healer friend said you been on tv a lot eh,, for i can see their energies still in your field, and james said something to the effect ohh i forgot to detach, and cleanse my energies. even when we do tarot readings over the internet here, on the reading exchange, i forget to detach sometime,s, and i think to myself i wonder how they doing, they feeling,, until i realize oops . the detachment and cleansing,, especially of chords , is essential for anything,, and everything,, counseling, reading for others, healing,, even visiting your friends :O). it especially becomes hard when one starts to do the healing process when break up occurs, it doens't just happend when relationship between two lovers end.. but when you travel long distances away from your family. a friends leaves for a long time. you and your parents become estranged. this is a big reason why co dependacy happens, lovers get attached to their abusive lovers due their need for the lovers energies, it even began to change their energy field a bit, weakening it. and bosses and workers, and even readers and clients, . as readers it becomes our responsiblity to make sure there is not chords, no aura lockage, happening,, for the client should ideally leave empowered and able to move on with their life, after they leave us. it is a much bigger world one walks into when one starts their work.:O)

butterfly-- i think more of a filter than a shield. i don't prevent energies from entering, instead i select which ones to interact with and let the others pass through. i can't tell you exactly how this is done, but the model i use in my invisioning is of wave patterns. i see myself as a wave of a definite frequency. all other energies are either compatable with me-as-frequency or they are not. all incompatable energies are allowed to pass through-- i do not interact with them. (if you've had any physics, you'll recognize that my model is built upon the concept of constructive/destructive interference. i tend to think in math...) hope this helps raven

There are shields you can put up that totally seal you inside (and you end up choking because nothing gets in or goes out). Thinking of it as permeable to the right things is a better way to go. It CAN block, but it also lets other things in and out. Either way, you'll generally know pretty quick if it's a complete blockage shield or not. _______________________________________________ Law of Ferret Motion - That which is in motion, tends to stay in motion, despite the end of the bed.
