could someone please give some good easy shielding tecniques? Thank you

just like in terminator movie, picture a silver mercury like substance covering your body. This effectively turns back any negativity. with practice it becomes an easy natural thng to do.

Depends on what your shielding from and why?

Negative energy …….. who wants to waste inflicting negative energy …. The more happy I make you the more I feed till you can give no more.
Magic attacks … make a witch bottle and dispose of hair and nail clipping before I find them lol

I do a lot of mental shielding and healing great for headaches. its a type of self hypno therapy. Just relax slowly count down from ten find your sub-concious and concentrate on what you want to do

this sounds interesting i think i need to learn some techniwues to shield me from stress and negative energies

I try to always have a piece of rose quartz with me it gets rid of negative energy

simple, rose quartz?
i might try that............
so would that work if your really unlucky?

Rose quartz also known as the stone of gentle love heals all wounds that involve the heart. It is the only stone that repels negativity and does not absorb it and does not conflict with other stones

would anything work against a boss who seems to have it in for me?

you may want to try sodalite it helps to open the lines of communication to better learn and understand a situation

I find a nice chunk of smokey quartz works as a calming stone for me! Each to their own.

As for Shielding however, a cast iron belief in self which you can bend rocks around works for me. I do not beleive you can touch me, and therefor you can not.

I do not need ACTIVE shielding when my passive is so solid.

As for stress, well, stress is stress, I find hitting friends with a flattened crowbar while they try to hit me with a flattened crow bar works quite well. :-)

the crowbar sounds like an interesting way of relieving stress...lol

as for me.. it depends on what the protection is from... be it negative.. spiritual... or physical...

And rose quartz is a favorite of mine as well.

My technique is just avoiding things that I don't want to hear or see or what not all together, in other words, stay away from whatever it is.

My mom told me tu use the mirorr technic is to create mirrors around you and it will repells all that is bad and will make you protected by the hseild, and most if you make see through mirrors like the cop use. And then you push them away towards the farthest you can.

One thing I do, so is try and keep a song I want in my head. You know like you sometimes get a song stuck in there for some reason. Try and make it a song you want and then just trying to learn to bring it up when you want it. I know how to do it, though im still not fully good at this. Plus if I am not trying well, I do tend to pick up on some other song.

I do not know how effective it is as a mental shield, but having a peace of a song you want in there playing can at least be entertaining to you when your board.

the best think i know of is to imagian your self on the inside of a box that has mirrirs on the out side so everthing that comes at you bounds back at the person sending it

i would like to use some of these suggestion for my own use in the future. Thanks for all of the info

I like to build a mental image of a mirror that will bounce back all the energy that someone might send at you.

I find it works relativly well in most cases.

yep mirror sheild works well..but u have to practice practice practice

I usually visualize the rune for protection and create a blanket of it around me or anything I wish to protect. It takes some concentration, but it's always worked well for me.

like another posting, thanks for the info. will have to try some of the things mentioned.

I'm not sure if this would work for you. I relax, taking several deep breaths. I imagine a brick wall being built around me, brick by brick.

I haven't learned shielding techniques yet. I ended up in someone else's memory of their accident and I saw the whole thing as it happened to her. I told her details that only she would have known, so that really freaked both of us out. It also gave me and her a headache that lasted a few days. Had I been able to shield myself, I would not have experienced this.

Something else that might help you is to take a deep breat, let it out slowly, and relax for a minute. That will help clear your mind of some of the negativity and enable you to bring things back into perspective.

If sheilding is what you prefer then I would suggest a little research or a chat with a fellow VR member who is more experienced on the subject .. You may also try meditation, which I reccomend even wth spell casting. It helps relax the mind, and your able to concentrate on the task at hand..

I totally go along with GreviousDemon, sometimes searching out someone whose specialty is that of protection or sheilding.

I have to go along with GreviousDemon and Duneshifter.

I find that mental disipline through meditation has helped me greatly in both relieving stress and shielding myself from other negative influences. However my mental disipline is a product of 17 years of meditation and Martial Arts practice.

Since i am on the subject any way, another great way to relief stress is Tai Chi.

I believe that shielding comes from complete mental discipline...mind, body and spirit must be one

There are several different protection spells that you can try and different crystals and gems you can use. It depends on what you are needed sheilding from, you must decide that first and then you can go from there.

I have effectively used the mirror shield method but to be completely protected you must visualize a sphere surounding you with reflective surfaces on the outside. Care must be taken to not make it too impervious (Do not visualize a shield of diamond.) especially for psychic vampires or you will be unable to feed. If that happens you would need help breaking down the shielding.

I personally like the white light technique. You imagine a cone of white light surrounding you. White is for purity. You ask for protection to your Deity, Goddess, God, whatever. once you feel a serenity, you should be protected, or shielded. It works for me! Good luck!

I like simplicity. So the most primitive and basic shielding technique work best for me. I hope this helps anyone else.
Start by visualizing a barrier of some sort
around yourself. The most basic barrier is a sphere of white light. So, ground and
center yourself. Close your eyes
and breathe deeply for a few minutes. See your body. Visualize your skin glowing with white light. Watch this light engulf your entire body. As it moves away from the surface of your body, it becomes a glowing sphere encircling you from all directions. Allow it to expand to the edge of your personal comfort zone. Know that you are safe within this space, and allow yourself to feel calm there. Hold this image firmly in your mind for several
minutes before opening your eyes.You can reenforce the mental image of your shield throughout the day to keep it strong.

There are many different ways to visualize a shield around your physical body. Some people like the white light method. But that is just one example. here are some other ideas:
Mesh or netting: filters out the bad while allowing the good in.
Mirrors: reflects negativity back to the originator.
Brick or stone walls: for especially tough shields.
Fire: burns away bad stuff.
use whatever comes to your mind when you think about 'shielding'. The important thing is that it makes you feel safe.

Doing something physcial can help repel negative energies.

You need to know yourself and find something that interest and works for you. It can be through meditaion, deep breath, hitting people witha crow bar, are simply sittting down and doing something that you enjoy.

PLus when it comes to sheilding there are many different things that you can sheild yourself against and therefore many solutions. Try to be specific when you talk about sheilding yourself

I am interested to see that MOST suggestions for shields are complete blockers rather then filters.

As I do not use them parsay, what are your thoughts on the limits inflicted by such 100% lock out shields, or the advantages of such?

Either using a crystal of your choice (whichever is your favourite) as a stress ball helps me or meditating using a simple chant is relaxing when on your own, in a quite place.

I would think it all depends on what your trying to shield from.

I always wear a rose quartz crystal and use a shield as well. If you want to know my technics then just message me too long to write it all in here lol.

And I do agree with the general con censuses to meditate even if its just for 15 mins a day it all helps.

I thank you all , I Just live with someone whos neg. and tires to zap the life out of me as "B" says.... guess since now I realize,Ill get him . any body get lonely, not much of anyone at all zero that i know here that is as I am! cept my wolf whos my kindred comp. thru all prior lives and this one..........

I would believe that using the shield technique would require large amount of energy to wart off the negetive energy attacks. And ordinary person cant produce that large amount of energy, but if he did try hes gonna need help from a gemstone or crystal to borrow its energy. Now if a psychic person is gifted in controlling energy then that person can put up the shield with no problems what so ever.

I am fond of shielding taught in reads of franz bardon
tree of life and such
but always welcome my guardians and power animals to protect as well.

a bit of tae kwondo helps chill me down too it improves defence concentration breathing fitness agility and its great stress relief when your doin matches

I shield myself by keeping an image of myself surrounded by metal. Nothing gets in...since it is my metal, I can bend it to let energy out if I need to.

I think that a good person to talk to about this is BlackRosePirate; he seems to know a lot about shielding.. Good luck my friend.

I agree with the first responce. Just picture a semi-clear liquid shield surrounding your body. It works wonders if you practice.
