6 ways to properly shield yourself

Today's class is connected with our Sparring Club, as many of our members wants to learn basics, before actual sparring. We were already talking about sparrings in general and right now we will talk about the first and most important thing - self-defence. There are many ways to protect yourself so I will cover a few things which could have been used for shielding.

Gemstones

This helps you with physical energies, either blocking them or cleansing them. The stone you will choose will depend on a few things. Not only shielding purpose, but also energy and stone elements should be taken into consideration before using them. Cleanse it and empower it before you will use it. Use either in mojo bags, bracelets or jewellery.

Sigils

They can be used in several ways. Either you can activate them and place them on a mojo bag, use as talismans, use them for enchanting weapons. Use them for cleansing or casting specific energies upon enemies, or activating the shields.

Servitors

You might check class about servitors, but your creativity here speaks about everything. Using them to automatic shields could be very useful during the fight.

They can be also useful with severe tricks.

Elements

Elements are the basis of any energy magic. Feel them, connect with them and use them for everything. The more you will be creative with them the better.

Mojo bags

These are very simple and powerful talismans for cleansing and I usually connect them with servitors. Sew a little bag, place herbs, gemstones, sigil and add a few oil drops. Sew it and always have it with yourself to touch when you need to activate the cleansing. Servitor here comes handly to empower and make the cleansing faster. In the same way you can use them for shielding negative energy. Mojo bags These are very simple and powerful talismans for cleansing and I usually connect them with servitors.

Salt & Red Brick Dust

Redbrick dust is used in Hoodoo for protection from negative energy, while salt is not only protective but also cleaning. Same way cooking soda is working. You can add it into the bags, leave it on the doorsteps, windows or corners of the room .

And now one more thing about shields - what you should know about shielding. You already know what you could use for that.

How to properly shield?

First of all - plan it.

Who do you want to be protected from? Humans? Spirits? Negative energy? Emotions of others?

How do you want that shield to look like? What skills it should have? Which element would be best to use for it? Or maybe which planetary energy would? What are your weak spots? What exactly should be protected? Your human body? Your chakras? Your astral body? Whole energy field? How many layers it should have? Where does it take energy from? How to empower it easily? How energies going over these layers would interact? What should trigger the shield? Or maybe should it be the whole time activated? Answer all of these and plan it. Create an energy ball from your chosen element. Spread it around yourself. Shape it the way you want it to look. Project everything in your vision and release it around yourself. Empower it.

How it should look like?

Remember that the more layers the better. Use all of your creativity. A shield doesn't have to look like a bubble of energy, it can be a castle wall with guards made of servitors and after that wall will be liquid magma for example. This shows you one shield made of 3 elements, including servitors and 3 layers. The first layer is the wall made of the earth element, the second is servitor guards and the third one is magma which is a combination of earth, fire and water.

This was an example but you can go on and on with them.

And now we come to the most popular question about shields...

Why my shield didn't work? I made it a month ago?

Well, my personal shields hold for a week if I don't empower them. They are strong, yes but still needs to be fixed at times. It's like a wall of glass on which you are constantly knocking with a pebble. At some point, you might knock with stronger force and it will start breaking. This is why it's important to project them correctly and empower them. Even every day if you feel the need. The more power you have, The stronger the shields.

Lastly, why would we need the shields in the first place?

Because daily we meet with other than our energies. When you meet somebody, talk with them, interact or even pass by on the street your energy mixes for some time with theirs. We might attract negative energy from the others, we might also have some karmic energy or spells places on us, we might have enemies who wish us harm, or we are negative and attract parasites. The shield can protect us from all of that.

They are also useful in sparring, as you have to protect yourself.

So, I hope after reading this class you will now spend your time on a proper shield.
