There are times when it is hard to visualize what the shield will look like in your mind. You know what you want it to look like, but you cannot actually see it. Does that mean that you cannot shield? Not at all. Moreover, it does not mean that these following lessons won’t help you.

 

The following lessons describe ways to visualize shields, both completely with your mind and using candles and stones, and even though you think that you cannot do it, there are tricks that you can learn to help you bypass that. Even if visualization has always been a problem and not a momentary thing, what will be described in this lesson either will help you, or it will lead you to discover ways to work around visualization yourself.

 

One key point to remember for this lesson and all others…there is no one way to do anything. If you shift your view slightly, other ways appear.

 

We will discuss three techniques here:

 

Technique one:

I know the following will be a bit vague, and I apologize for it.

Instead of using your mind to form the shield, use your senses. Expand your awareness of your body out an inch or two and feel the shield forming. Know that it is there by the shift in the energy around you.

Starting with your head or your feet…for the purpose of this exercise, I will describe from starting from your feet.

Feel the shift in energy, it becomes lighter and cleaner than any other time. It feels like there is a barrier separating the energy in the rest of the room from you. You feel this shift as your awareness moves up your legs, torso, arms, and head.

When the energy shift occurs at the top of your head, feel it close. There is not a single gap anywhere around your body.

When working with more than one shield, you will be able to feel the energy shift with each shield.

For the next two techniques, remember that words written, spoken, or thought have power and once they are said, they become real.

 

Technique two:

This one involves visualization, but it is something that you can physically see.

Grab a piece of paper and draw a figure. This can be fully detailed, or it can be a stick figure. The key is to know that figure is you.
What you will want to do with this figure is draw the shield around it, if you can, be as detailed with the shield as possible.

If you are using a net or web shield, draw it as such. If you are using colors, you can write the color around that particular shield.

Draw this for as many layers that you wish to use.

 

Technique three:

Don’t worry about your drawing ability here, this one we will use nothing but writing.

Write your name, or something that affirms that you are working with you (or whatever you are trying to shield).

Under your name, write the shield you are working with. You can designate it as shield #1, shield #2; inner shield, middle shield, outer shield; etc.

Now describe your shield in detail. Be sure to pay attention to the slightest detail, even if it seems silly to include it. Make sure you put any texture, color, shape, anything.

 

Later in these lessons you will learn about the different shields, textures, colors, programming and such, so do not worry in this lesson about knowing completely about those.

Cleaning the shield:

When cleaning your shield without visualization, there are some things you can do. Remember that if you discover a way that works for you that are not included in these lessons use it. If it works for you, it is meant for you.

 

I am going to list a couple of ways here:

This one is faith based, and there cannot be room for doubt for it to work. If you want it to work, it will work. Know that your shield is clean. Know that there are no traces, no fingerprints, and no parasites left on your shield. If you prefer, you can speak this aloud.

 

The second way is more of a physical way. This is an adaptation from a aura cleansing that I use:

Run a clear quartz or Smokey quartz crystal under water. This clears the impurities that might be clinging to it away.

While the quartz is being cleared for use, light some sage, it can be the dried leaf, the powder or incense, it doesn’t matter which, as long as it produces a smoke. If there is another herb that you prefer for cleansing things, that can also be used.

Take the crystal out from the water.

Close your eyes and clear your mind.

Starting from the top of your head, holding the crystal an inch away from your body, sweep it down your body.

Return the crystal back to your head and sweep it down again.

Repeat this several times, until you have done your entire body. You will instinctively know how far apart to space the sweeps.

Return the crystal to the top of your head and swirl it above the top of your head in a circle a few times, and do the same at the soles of your feet.

Place the crystal back under the running water to clear away the residue from your cleansing.

 

Pick up the incense and fan the smoke in the same pattern you used for the crystal, being sure to get a lot of smoke around the top of your head and the soles of your feet.

Now, take about ten steps away, more if you can, but if you can’t do that many, don’t worry.

When you have stepped away from where you were originally standing, clap your hands and stomp your feet. This breaks up any lingering trails of what you were cleaning off your shield.

 

You can also light a black candle to help get rid of the impurities. If you feel you need an added boost, you can draw a bath peppered with your favorite cleansing herbs, sit in the tub, pouring the water over your head repeatedly, and when you drain the tub, know it is draining away the impurities you washed off you. Do not dry off after getting out of the tub.

 

Repairing the shield:

Oh no, here comes the paper again!!!

Pull a piece of paper to you again; you will also want to have a pencil, eraser, and a pen that cannot be erased for this.

Draw a figure inside a oval with a pen. You do not have to be detailed in the figure or the shield. Also, be sure to draw as many ovals as you have shields.

Now pick up the pencil. On the ovals and the person, draw cuts, bruises, and tears. You can overlap the ovals, you can go outside of the ovals, let your instincts guide you on where to put these marks.

When you have all the marks drawn, pick up the eraser. Close your eyes and concentrate on your shields. Think on them, and begin erasing the marks you just drew. You can keep your eyes closed or open them for this.

As you erase the marks that you drew, know that you are erasing (repairing) the same marks on your shields.
