Remember the old catch phrase from a few years ago: "I got really bad vibes from that man/woman..." To put this old expression into its complete context, all of us give off and receive vibrations. The emanation of vibrations from all matter is discussed in numerous places in my website -- from plant matter (Herbs), to minerals (Gemstones), and finally people (The Aura). The vibrations which emanate from human beings are usually referred to as the aura. Why do some people give off negative vibrations? And why do some people tend to "drain" us more than others? If a person is suffering a "misalignment," either spiritually or mentally, their vibrations will reflect that imbalance. If we do not utilize shielding on a daily basis, our bodies will absorb those vibrations, which will negatively affect us as well. Also, those people whose own energy and aura is weakened may tend to draw upon others for strength and temporary rejuvination (either intentionally, or unintentionally.) Less frequently, a person who bears us intentional ill-will (either consciously or subconsciously) may knowingly or unknowingly direct negativity towards us. This is commonly referred to as "psychic attack." This is by far the most harmful vibration we should seek to block out.
So, while there is nothing to be done about the emanation of vibrations, we can learn to control the vibrations which we receive from others, and effectively filter and block out those which are negative and harmful by employing a simple shielding technique. While short-term exposure to negative energy is merely draining and frustrating (and can ruin an otherwise perfectly wonderful day), the long-term effects of constant exposure is dangerous to our physical health, and spiritual and mental well-being, as we become more and more drained and susceptible to harm. (Moreover, with practice and regular incorporation of shielding into your daily routine, you will find that you are far less likely to "dread" having to spend time with certain people.....I will leave it up to your imagination to fill in the appropriate blanks here.)
Shielding is a visualization exercise that erects a wall of energy around you which blocks others' energy from reaching you. There are many different exercises in practice -- all are the same in principle and effect, having only subtle differences in style. If you do not like the one that I offer here, search around a bit to find one that is more appealing to you aesthetically -- or create your own visualization technique.
I am including here a shielding exercise in which you will be drawing upon the strength and power of the Earth itself for protection. You may adapt this visualization technique, if you prefer, to visualize the energy "coming from within," rather than "from without" -- or that the energy is being bestowed from "above." Whatever suits your own personal needs will be best for you. Any shielding technique should be done at least twice a day, upon waking in the morning, and before retiring in the evening, and at any other time throughout the day when you feel it necessary. I would like to add that it is possible to shield another person on their behalf utilizing these techniques -- for example, a mother shielding her children who are too young to sheild themselves, or shielding an entire family -- house and all -- when it is not possible for individual family members to shield themselves. The technique is similar, except you visualize the energy being drawn up and around the intended person, rather than yourself.
Shielding Visualization Exercise
Stand with your feet slightly apart, and your arms relaxed at your sides. Close your eyes, breath deeply and deeply, and visualize that you are becoming one with the Earth beneath your feet, drawing its strength up to you through the center of the Earth, up through the soil, and to your feet. When you feel connected to the Earth and are receiving its strength, hold your hands out together in front of you and visualize that energy traveling up through your body, down the length of your arms, and to your hands. Allow the energy to pool and collect in your palms, and concentrate until the energy forms a small "ball" of light. Concentrate and visualize that the ball is growing in size and in intensity. Release it in front of you, and allow it to float there for a moment. Visualize the ball of light separating into two, then into four -- and then again -- and as they divide are surrounding you completely in shields of protective light. These shields will be in place indefinitely, only needing to be "recharged" by you once or twice a day. After utilizing this practice for some time, you may actually be able to sense or hear a discernible sound when something "pings" off of one of your shields as it is deflected away from you. |

The easiest way to show the importance of psychic shielding is to illustrate what happens when we do not utilize it.
All of us have experienced this at one time or another: you are having a perfectly wonderful day, all is well, and you are in a fantastic frame of mind....then you run into a friend, coworker, family member or stranger on the street who leaves you feeling utterly drained and miserable after only a short time. You might even feel like you are "coming down with something." So what happened? |
