Created | Updated Jan 29, 2007
A shield is a psychic barrier to keep things in or out that is made around people, objects, or places.
Why shield?
The main reason for shield is to protect your self and others. People are constantly making psychic attacks and being attacked but rarely know it or control it. This is especially true is you are or planning to develop psychic abilities.
How to shield
It is not too difficult although there are many ways to do it. You should try a few of them and go with what you feel most comfortable with. You could put a psi ball around yourself, build a wall around yourself in your mind, or imagine a bubble around yourself these also work if you do it around some one else. Any of them will work if you let energy flow from your body to the shield and that can be done thought simple visualization.
Advanced shielding
You can make your shield respond to different things in cretin ways the biggest limit to what you can make your shield do is your creativity and whether you have enough power to make it useful. Some people call this setting you shield or enchanting it but I have always preferred to call it programming your shield. Some examples of what you can do are making yourself harder to sense or have a psychic alarm go off if cretin conditions are met. You program your shield by visualizing your shield in your mind and focus on what you want your shield to do then make it part of the shield. This also works for psi balls.
Shielding a room or area
This is a bit more difficult and takes a lot more energy to effectively. The easiest way if in a building is to anchor your shield into the walls, floors, and ceiling or if it is a very large room do it in sections. In most cases, it is best not to shield outdoor areas because nature can care for itself. However, if you have to then your best off making a dome so you do not use more energy then you have to.
Maintenance
This is one of those things you should experiment with and go for what feels right. Constantly powering and adjusting your shield while making it very effective is also exhausting. Therefore, it is usually best to make a shield and leave it. Here is where the choice comes in you can keep the same shield(s) and just put more energy into as needed or you can break down your shielding and put new ones up.
