Hey family!
We've had a rough time over the past few weeks, but we got a Hero Juju lesson from it!
Energy shields are just the little things you do to sort of protect yourself. Like you wear clothing, so people don’t see you “naked”, people put on headphones when they don’t want people to see them, people carry pepper spray to protect themselves, people carry lucky charms such as a rabbit’s foot...
These things are there to protect you from ideas, but more what happens is that you just feel more comfortable in your space and you feel more confident in your demeanor. The real "secret" to shielding is preventing folks from getting under your skin. If they can't affect your emotions or how you see things, they can't manipulate your emotions and behaviors.
Once you got the trick and the concept down, it helps to have a visualization or a ritual so you can use it without your trappings, too. We don’t always have access to those!
