Normally when i create orbs and shields for protection, i would state what i want to allow to pass through. I believe sometimes we may feel that we have already created a shield....but why are things still not going the way it should. This is because, we may have unintentionally blocked out and shielded out everything (positive and negative). I find this article to be quite helpful in creating and setting some boundaries to the shields we create!

You may modify the way you want your shield to work. This is just a guide!! 

Lightwork Principles - Psychic Shielding

One of the simplest and basic metaphysical techniques is psychically
shielding. It's each lightworker's responsibility to keep their aura strong and have
distinct boundaries when opening dormant channels to receive energy. When you
become aware you will be open to both positive and negative energies that
comprise our environment. Earth is a realm of opposites, of light and dark, hot
and cold, etc. so it's important to use discernment and shield against the
darker, denser energy of our realm.

Having a strong aura and asking for the protection of Spirit will assure you're
only connecting to the highest sources of light and assures that you're not
taking on the energy and/or drama of your environment. As we become more
aware psychically we grow to be much more sensitive to everything around us,
especially with the people we interact with.

While creating a shield of light, remember flexibility so shields aren't
rigid and wall-like. Intentions should be specific so the shield doesn't
inadvertently keep help, support and positive energy out .

Centering and grounding is the first step to making a good, functional
shield. Using visualization is also very helpful. Try to "see", or imagine in your
mind's eye, the energy you are moving and shaping while creating your shield.
Visualization is basically using your imagination.

The following is a simple but effective and basic technique to keep your
metaphysical boundaries strong.

To Build Your Shield:
Close your eyes and center yourself, and then ground by imagining energy from
the earth coming up into your body. Visualize your inner Divine light in the
center of your being. With intention, watch this light grow and surround you
in a field of energy that is very intense in color and light. This glow
intensifies the aura's energy. This shield is bringing positive energy to you. Adjust
the intensity and strength of the light with your intention. Whatever way and
color you visualize is right for you and what you need now. Say to yourself,
"Only love, blessings, abundance, support, comfort and joy may come through
this Divine shield of Light". Now visualize a drain for your own negative energy
to be released though the shield. Set the intention that all negativity,
anxiety and fear will be released through this one-way drain.

After creating your basic shield, customize it to be the way you want it.
Some people visualize this energy as water-like or fiery to burn away the
negative energy. Some people's shields are very unique and full of lights, symbols
and shapes. Again, everyone is different and what you imagine is right for you
as it's your intention that's most important.

Each morning or at least every couple days reinforce the energy of your
shield. This psychic shield and is very important to keep any negativity from
people you come into contact with (in all situations). For clarity and peace of
mind it only takes a few seconds but can really make a difference.

This is especially useful for very empathic people who tend to pick up on the
emotions of people around them (positive and negative). Empaths should always
metaphysically shield before shopping or going somewhere crowded or they'll
be drained.

Very useful xian, thank you. It is good to remind us the importance of a shield, not to mention that people feel more safe and protected when they imagine such thing
I always use it while doing any healing session or when sudden energy starts and I feel that it might not always be friendly. So I ask for my "bubble" shield to let only the positive and healing energy to pass through and the rest to be blocked. 

Hm, I do forget that I might block my negative energy inside the shield and not letting it go away

thank you master, this is really useful information for me.
i think this will really going to make a difference for me...

Thanks you for this very informative article. I will follow this example of shielding before I give healing sessions.Kathlene
