Hey everyone!  Interesting topic we have going here, huh.  Well, regarding shielding, it is my opinion that anyone practicing energy work at a competent level (i.e. a developed *stable* energy body and good control over energy both raising and manipulating) should utilize some sort of shielding.  There are many different paths to creating an effective "shield", and this is what I've found to work best.  During astral projection, stay on the astral plane and create a void/peaceful area where you can be alone, quite easy to do after you get the hang of it.  I would suggest that for a few weeks you continually store energy in crystals, stones, symbols, in astral "energy containers", what have you, to make the next part a heck of a lot easier.  In your "zone" access your energy reserves and manipulate it so it forms a circumference around you.  Feel free to make it as large/small strong/weak as you'd like, you'll know what feels natural.  Next, form 6 energy points - top, bottom, and four equally spaced on the 2-D circumference.  Connect the energy points with a few threads and start "smoothing" the energy over the "exo-skeleton" of your shield.  Start filling in the energy where it's depleted (hence the reserves are VERY useful), until you have a circular globe of energy surrounding you.  Now here is the neat part, which you should actually (before hand) sit down and mull over.  Ponder WHAT you want your shield to do?  Reflect energy? Absorb it to strengthen your shield?  Call down a guardian/arch angels/whatever to protect you?  Self cleaning/effecient?  Do you want it to cloak your energy so those sensitive to it cannot trace/feel you?  There is a LOT you can do.  An effective way of giving your shield "attributes" is to assign each trait to a glyph/symbol, or merely will the energy to do as you command.  It's hard to explain such abstraction but after everything is set up...the shielding usually begins to take care of itself.  Shields can also be effective in gathering energy (I mean lots) for whatever you're attempting, just make sure you bring it down, so you can release it.....Well, that's just my method of "shield creating", I'm sure there are many other ways but that's what I've experimented and found works best for me!

I've noticed that when connecting the tongue to the palette, it is much easier for energy to flow through my crown > brow > throat chakras a bit more naturally.  You also stimulate your tongue/minor mouth chakras (I believe) while doing this.  Just my two cents!

Later!

Hey!  I've been experimenting with causing pressure, the sort a straw exerts, to pull/suck (?) energy up and through my chakras.  I did it this morning and I got some really great results/stimulation.  I'll try your techs. and get back with you!  Thanks, Malcom.
