Reducing negative influence & Aura strengthening

[James S]

This is what I used to do - use my aura as a shield.

Problem for me, being an empath, is this method works against psychic development, especially reading the energies of others. What I needed to learn to do was allow those emotions to pass through me, but only pass through, and not let them attach.

Opening up your heart center and keeping it strong and active can help in both these areas. It can keep you open and sensitive to the energies of others, and at the same time help you to remain "well defended" against the attachment of those energies.

Try it. It's more productive than blocking.

Regards,
James.

In what way does it work against psychic development?

Being an empath too it is difficult to move around in the
city with many people because you feel their pain when
they pass you. Sometimes it just feels like they drain you off
your own energy and pass on their energy to your field.

Another problem with my heart centre is that it is still
shattered from childhood abuses. Getting better all the time
though. Now I can atleast feel love []

I'll try to let the energy pass through me. Still not sure
how to do this though.

raise your vibrations, negative energy usually operates on lower frequencies

[Rastus]

I was the perenial "Shields up #2" kind of guy.

James is right, it's quite stifleing.  Last time I went to a doctors office my blood pressure went up for around 120/80 to about 180/120 from shielding.  That's bad, M'kay?  Granted the place isn't the best for a healer, which is why I'm always the last appointment (and yes I like a second opinion and get an annual physical since I'm almost 40, call it additional peace of mind, and my blood pressure has dropped 15 point in the last 6 weeks because now I know it needed to).

Now instead of of Aura in tight, I let it go wide and extend my perceptions out.  Really really NEG people I physically avoid, much simplier this way.  I sure my high vibe Aura causes them discomfort when I brush up against them?  Never thought about that before...  I sort of spin my shields to "throw off" and negativeness.

Even if you are full of energy you are in the same 'space' as
the negativity. Though it is a whole different matter if you raise
your frequency higher or move yourself higher in the astral.
This really works but usually the duration has been short.

It has felt a bit like I would have been at a much higher frequency than the whole enviroment I'm in and that makes somekind of
unbalance between me and the enviroment, so the enviroment seeks
to balance this by pulling me down. Anyone else experienced this?

Got to test it out some more.

[Mystic Cloud]

It definately worked to raise my vibration. What I really
did to go into the astral while being in your own body.
I went to higher places and it really isolated me from the rest
of the people. It made me feel 'separate' from them and no
negativity came to me.

What I also noticed was that whenever a low-energy (negative)
thought popped into my mind and my frequency got lowered.

Thank you all, you have been very helpful []

[daem0n]

yes, and found solution for it
from time to time some poor soul (human or neg, or something i don't recognize)tries to drain me, well, his bad luck, this was puting me off so i thought about a shield that would hide my energy so i wouldn't be friggin neon  "free energy" banner, this is for new in NEW, you stand out of the crowd and you are likely to be target of unwelcomed quests
at the beggining i was experimenting with invisibility (not standing out), i don't live in safe district, and shields that block unconcius energy exchange (not to broadcast, i don't know if i do so but, well, who knows), hide my signature and so on
then i understood that being not visible (energetically) is not a good way to hide, or not stand out, so i thought about shield that would take on energy (and thus, frequency) of my surroundings, lowering mine at some distance from me, and it works
now how to:
feel vibrations of your surroundings, then yours, depending where you are the difference could be small (your room, for example) or large,
make a shield, bubble of some sorts, and order it emit frequency of your surroundings (by feeling them you gave your subconcius instructions how to do so), keeping you frequency inside safe and sound, + standard programing, kill switch at my will, leech/whatever you like, it is also good idea to order them to avoid contact with people (this solves the problem with people stepping into your shields, they go just denser whenever someone is close)
you should be able to feel the difference in the frequencies inside and outside of the shield, you did it
hope it helps

I want to change my post!!

Last night I took my son to High School registration.  1200 kids, 400 audults, long lines, poor organization and no air conditioning or fans.  I was thinking about this post as we got closer to going inside.

I now know what a pinball feels like!!  Litterally!!!  I had to retreat, block, then go defensive.  There were several, ummmmm, active slaps?  Joys of youth?  I should gone for my metaphysical tennis racket []

[Utmost Certainty]

I made my aura work like a cell's membrane.  A cell's membrane is selectively permeable - it only lets certain things in, and simultaneously can flush bad things out of the cell while not letting bad things in.  So I keep my aura shield up, with the confidence that it only lets good energy in, is always actively blocking negative energy, AND simultaneously purging negative energy out of me.

[James S]

Utmost Certainty, welcome to the forums. []

That's a good analogy you used.
In a healthy state, our auras will naturally do what you describe.

Mystic Cloud,
I'm glad you're getting somewhere here.[^]
To answer an earlier question: "In what way does it work against psychic development?"



Psychic development relies on you learning to expand your awareness.
One of the primary purposes of energy work and meditation, and raising your natural vibration level, is to expand your aura, and do so safely with out it being damaged.

One of the things your aura does is acts like an antenna for your psychic senses. As it expands, you become more psychically aware - you see, hear and feel more around you, and open up more to the spirit world.

When you're concentrating on shielding yourself, you're drawing yourself into a shell and effectively keeping yourself safe behind a barrier. You close down those senses you're developing.

This is why under normal conditions, even conditions like a busy crowded shopping center a few days before christmas, if you you can keep your heart centre open and your vibrations high, you can allow yourself to acknowledge the feelings and the energies around you. As you're at the higher vibration level, those energies just pass by and don't stick.  

Having said all that, sometimes we do need to shield, as it's always good to have protection if you're in a situation where you feel your senses are being overloaded.

Regards,
James.

when you operate at higher vibrations, you open up yourself to the spirit world, but at the same time spirit world opens to you, and you attract more unwelcomed guests, shielding against any interaction is undesirable, but not shielding or shielding only under attack is a bit suicidal (if you're not sufficiently advanced, that is ), and i know it from experience
i agree with you on emotional shielding, though

[SSGR]

-Hello all,
   Very often I tend to keep my aura feeling open and accepting to others energies, but when I feel someone around that I get a bad "vibe" from (aka strong negative energy eminations), I try to make my aura kind of well, spikey toward that person.  I try to visualize the points hard and offensive to make them uncomforatble around me......and thus hopefully leave.  I suppose that is a shield of sorts.  Let me know what you guys think ok? thanks.

[Rastus]

You are only limited by your ability to focus and your available energy.  You can go spikey, marshmellowy, brickwall, rubber wall, cell membrane, star trek style, or get into something real esoteric.  It depends on your ability ot focus and hold it, as well as whatever energy drain you have to deal with.

Now throw in rotation and multiple layers of different types and it can get very complex!

Then again there's a lot to be said for the K.I.S.S (keep it simple, stupid) principle []

[Rastus]

A Mirror type shield shouldn't adversely affect you.  It just bounces things back to the sender, and in some circles 3x stronger.  That is assuming it's strong enough in the first place.

My usual ones aren't cutting it anymore at 4 am.  So either I need more power in them, or I'm attracting a better class of irratent [:I]  Actually it's past time for more physical means []

[daem0n]

i abandoned reflect shields after small talk with my more experienced friend, let's say you visit someone in the hospital, there is a lot of anger, hopelessness, suffering and such, and whenever some poor soul looks at you with anger, unconciously attacking you, *poof*, his anger hits him in the face (or 3x [xx(]), talk about ruining someone's day, the same in public transport, offices, in the end you tinkle off people around you more than anything, and alternative... bubble [], or heart chakra shield, even better
now, if someone is conciously attacking you, you know what to do [}:)]

[Mystic Cloud]

When living our everyday lives and walking outside in the city
we sometimes pick up negative energy from others who pass
us or just from the spot we go to. When we pick up this negative
energy it gets attached to our own aura field. For myself this results
in a sense of not getting enough breath and my mind gets clouded.
Today I found a way to not get this attachment at all.

When I'm walking near another person that I sense has negativity
I tense my abdomen up a little and at the same time I feel my aura
that is right next to my skin at all places of my body. Then I start radiating
it strongly out in every direction towards the outer edge of my aura.
I keep radiating it until I feel that the negative influence is bounced
of my auric field. Remember that this is your own aura that you are
cleaning and you will get the energy you need from all your energy
centers.

I'm sure that this will also work when clearing out negativity that is already
attached to your aura. Just radiate until you feel that it is clean. For myself
I get a smooth clear sense of my aura with no different feeling spots when
it is clear.

Try it out and report the results
