Shielding Position

[confuded92]

Does it really matter in which position you do shields? (standing, lying down, siting etc.). Because sometimes i am to tired or sleepy to sit on th sofa so i want to lay down on it, but i am not sure if thats an OK position for making shields.

As long as they are complete (that is there are no gaps in them.) there should not be a problem with body position.

Does that mean you need to keep looking around you and feel for it everywhere? That's difficult.

No, it just means you need to construct it so it is completely enveloping and then program it to stay. Example Bubble shield: You are in the middle of a bubble of psi. It covers you on all sides in all 3 dimensions. Then once you put it up you just check it once in a while to make sure it has stayed up or doesn't need maitinence. As you get better with psi, you will become more 'aware' of what is going on around you. It will not be so much a matter of always being LOOKING for your shields, but of just being aware of them, the same way you are aware of the people in the room that are speaking. You don't have to actively try to hear them. You just do. There will come a point where you will just be aware of what is going on around you psionically. (with similar limitations to hearing and sight.)

Yeah, I think that a common misconception is that people think if you're sitting on a sofa or on the ground or something, psi will not move below your bottom because the couch is there. It should still fit in, unless of course, your mind is convinced that psi will not go through solid matter. If you've got that mind set, you could accidentally misprogram your shield.

Thank you for the elaboration TC.

The reasons he mentiones are why you want to be careful with how you program your shield to make sure you haven't left a hole at your feet or over your head. (Using the standing as an example not an absolute.)

Thanks, that solves my problem! ( lazines lol )

And yea i don`t think that psi can`t go through solid mater, if it can`t then how does it move trough your body?

The post was generally for those who think this false concept. Sorry if it sounded like it was directed at you. It was in fact, a general informational post.

I know how to imagine, but when I create a shield, it's not like a psi ball which I could feel. Shields are big and difficult. Do you just move your hand around you to imagine your creating a shield? Or do you just imagine and that's it? (tell me if it should be another post, and I've read the articles DA incase you ask me, but it didn't help.)

[confuded92]

I just visualize them and thats it. I tried once to make a shield that makes all "alien thoughts" bounce off my shieldand it helped me a great deal when i atempted to do OBE (i dont do OBE anymore).

[The Devil's Advocate]

It is mostly visualization (Imagining it there, then nudging the energy to match the visual), but you can usually check to see if they are there the same way you detect psiballs. But yes, there is more energy involved, usually, in creating a shield than a psiball. Which is why psiballs are usually taught before sheilds.
