Shielding Yourself - By Stacey Burdash
Shielding is a very important part of everyday life. Sometimes we absorb other people’s energy without even realizing that it is happening. We can absorb their moods and emotions, which can affect our moods negatively. There are people who also send negative energy to you purposely. This energy can be harmless if you do not let it in. Shielding should be done everyday as part of daily psychic development exercises.
Shielding is very visual, so it helps if you are easily able to visualize the energy you are moving around. The very first thing you do is to make sure you always ground and center yourself.
This is a basic shield that is good to start with:
Start building your shield by visualizing an intense energy coming from within yourself to surround you entirely. It should be almost like you are creating another Aura around yourself. Envision it growing and expanding with intensity and brightness. Most people use white for this shield, but I would suggest using whatever color you feel is right.
Build a bright field of protective energy, imagining all of the negative energy being absorbed is being rushed down into the Earth to be cleansed. Allow your shield to let positive energy flow into you through your shield. Keep building your shield until it is the intensity you desire and when you are comfortable with it.
Here are some colors to use and their meaning:
White light: Good for protection against
crime or physical attack. Invokes additional angels around you.
Pink light: The pink shield protects
against negativity. Use this shield when you are around negative
people it emanates “LOVE.”
Green light: A physical healing shield. Green is a very healing color. You can use this to help heal your own emotional state, as well as around others who are emotionally “Sick” or ill.
Purple light: Psychic protection. This will help guard you against psychic attack and negative spirits.
Triple shield: Pick three or more of the colors and layer them on top of yourself for ultimate protection. I visualize them as veils of color, to allow what I want in and to keep what what I want out, OUT.
You may have to reinforce your shield during the day if you feel the need, but it will remain with you until you visualize the reverse and take it down. Once you have mastered the basic shield, you can customize it as you see fit.
Some shielding variations:
Suit of Armor: Some people visualize they are wearing a suit of armor to keep out all of the negative.
Bubble: This can help you "roll with the punches" and allow you to softly absorb what is coming at you.
Wire Mesh: You can use this to keep out the negative and allow in the positive. I use another variation of this and use a breathable “ziplock” baggie shield, like the kind you use for vegetables.
Cone of Light: Instead of using a ball of light surrounding you. Envision it protecting you like a cone from above.
Mirror: Visualize a shield that is has mirrors surrounding you.
This last shield has some good uses, as well as bad. It is a very strong shield and bounces everything coming at you back out. However, you can not control where it bounces and may be directed towards someone else. It also will not allow you to let all of the negative things we do to ourselves out and you remain trapped. Nothing can get in and nothing can get out. Use the mirrored ball when you are feeling vulnerable, or when your chakras are open and clean, and you’re about to go into harsh energy.
I began to “talk” to my shield everyday as I am programming it. I tell it exactly what I would like it to do for me that particular day or for a particular circumstance. Like for example, a big family dinner, tons of people. I ask my shield to absorb all the negativity around me, send it to the Earth to be Grounded and cleaned, and the send it back out with love to all of those around me.
For a paranormal investigation, I ask my shield to repel all the negative spirits I may encounter, but to allow those in need of communication to find me and allow my third eye to see what is needed to be seen.
At that point, after I tell my shield what I would like it to do, “IT” tells me what color, texture, material, intensity, etc., that I need to build and visualize on.
It is important to remember that your shield can be made up of whatever material you feel will help you visualize it easier. There is no right or wrong way to visualize your shield. You have to go with whatever works for you. Some people may visualize wearing their favorite Super Hero costume, while others may feel comfortable using the basic white light technique.
