Shields

A shield is energy programmed to stop something. That may sound vague, but it's true.
Say you were very good at telepathy, Picking up thoughts. That means that you're sensitive; it is easy for you to pick up on others' thoughts. If this is the case, if you don't do anything about it, chances are that you're going to be picking up people's thoughts randomly. This would be very annoying, as you would constantly be confusing other people's thoughts with your own. This is where a shield would come in handy. You could make the shield around you and program it to stop other people's thoughts from getting to you. Once you finished, you would have peace and quiet in your head once again.
Now, before we get started on actually making the shield, you should know that shields are not only useful for skilled telepaths and empaths. A shield can prevent someone from draining your energy, or to keep someone from performing telepathy or empathy on you without your permission. If someone is sending their energy toward you, the shield could be programmed to bounce the energy back at them, or even to absorb the energy and add it to your own. A shield could also keep a psiball from falling apart (this is known as shelling the psiball). So, you see, shielding is actually a very useful skill.
The first example that I'm going to use in this article is shelling. As I said above, shelling is simply putting a shield around a psiball so the psiball will stay together. While you're making the psiball, the shell will hold it together, thus allowing you to focus on just adding energy to the psiball, and when you're done making the psiball, if you decide to send your it somewhere, it will stay together on its own. Sounds good, right?
So, let's begin. Let's say you've got the psiball going, and it's pretty powerful. As you try to add more energy to it, though, you can kind of feel it falling apart, so you begin to focus on holding it together. Now that you're holding it together, you can't really focus on adding energy to it. This is where a shell comes in handy.
Move energy to the psiball, but instead of putting it into the psiball, put it around the psiball. Visualize the energy flowing out of your hands and around the surface of the psiball. When you've made one complete layer of energy around the psiball, visualize the energy layer hardening. Know that it has become hard. Visualize some kind of texture on it, if it helps you. Tell the layer of energy to hold the psiball together. After the energy has hardened, visualize more energy flowing around it, making a second layer. After this energy makes a complete layer, visualize it hardening as well. Repeat this as many times as you'd like, but keep in mind that the more layers you add, the stronger the shell will be. Once you've made a fairly strong shield, you should be able to stop worrying about the psiball falling apart and resume adding energy to it.
Now that you've made the psiball, let's say you want to send it somewhere. Program the psiball to go where you want it to go, and make sure the shell is well programmed to hold the psiball together. After that, send the psiball on its way. You can just release it, visualize it, or even physically throw it. It doesn't matter. If you did everything correctly and you put enough energy into the psiball and the shell, the psiball should make it to its target and accomplish its goal.
So the shell holds the psiball together, but what if you want to use a shield to actually stop something? Maybe you're good at telepathy or empathy, like I said above, or maybe you just want to practice shielding by protecting your cell phone and reducing its signal? Well, I'll explain techniques for both of these next, seeing as they're pretty similar.
Start by putting energy around whatever you're shielding. If you're trying to stop your telepathy or empathy, this would be you, and if you're trying to lower your cell phone's signal, this would be your cell phone.
Once you've got a good amount of energy around the object, either you or your phone, visualize the energy hardening and becoming shiny, like a mirror. Visualize the energy reflecting things, just like a mirror does. Tell the energy to reflect whatever you're shielding against. Continue to add more and more energy to the shield while programming it to reflect. Continue this until you feel you have made a strong enough shield. Once you're done, see if you were successful. If you were trying to stop others' thoughts or emotions, you should feel better, and if you were trying to shield your phone, it should now have a low or even no signal.
There are some basic shielding uses and techniques for you. Have fun and good luck!
