energy sheilds

[Sage Rainsong]

I was wondering as to how people visualize their psychic sheilds, if any. I personally visuallize a bubble made of wind that blows away harmful energies.

Exactly as that, literally a shield.

Mine is a suit of armor that surrounds me including top of head and bottoms of feet.

I visualize a bubble of white cleansing light around me and protecting me

[Aurin]

Depends... Usually just a glass bubble with a diameter of about 9 feet (About a foot above my head and below my feet, into the ground).... if I *really* don't want anyone to bug me I make it spikey ... Occasionally I'll visualize it as a simple shield too.

[Flappersquirrel]

I usually visualize a blue spiraling light surrounding me. For some reason it tends to be egg shaped. I've tried envisioning a bubble, but it always ends up like an egg. But as long as it works, I'm good.
Aurin, I also make my energy spikey when I want to be left alone. Or when I feel like someone's draining my energy. That tends to make them stop real quickly.

it depends on the situation.. normally my shield is like a clear crystal dome around me.. if there is neg energy directed at me it starts to glow and if its gets really bad it gets so bright it becomes blinding.. at this point it changes.. heavy dark vines intertwined with thorns surround the crystal dome to block any attacks.. if it gets to this point i usually combine it with a reflection spell to send back anything neg back to is source..
one thing that took me by surprise was just after i found out i was pregnant... i was having an arguement with my MIL and all of a sudden there was this blinding bubble coming from my stomach all the way around me it came up to my chest and down to just below my hip/ top of my thighs.. i have no idea if i did it subconsciously to protect the baby or if she did it but i have never seen my shield that bright before.. since then every time i have spoken to my MIL i can sence a shield forming around the baby about the same size as the bubble was.. I think i may be brewing a lil witchy poo inside lol
Blessed Be ~Morrigan~

most of the time mine is a series of layers of rock, with a layer of silver in there somewhere, all grown over by holly and ivy to be as inconspicuous as possible.

when im under attack, or actively strengthening it for a suspected attack, all of the rock and metal melt, and i have a huge ball of molten rock flowing, constntly moving, all around me. there is precious little that i have encountered that can penetrate it - most things vapourise on contact, or are swept around me and away by the vortex of currents. i need to work on a more mental/astral type of shiled for more psi type work, as mine is largely a physical shield, but i mostly work in the physical realms, so anything higher usually means i should actually pay attentiont o it, rather than automatically block it.

I always picture a green gold light that starts in my chest. It starts to coat me like goo, spreading from the torso, sliding down my limbs up my face and into my hair, coating each strand indivitually. Then the glowing green gold light extracts all the negative and puce colored globs are isolated and shot out of my system. The light then starts to expand from my body until it is about two feet away from me in all directions encompassing and protecting the whole of me. Negativity is repulsed with rocket force if it tries to enter.

[Kaylara]

I use them, but I won't describe them on the open forums for several reasons. :)

[awyrdone]

for attack? Depends on your sit...A good cloak of smoke and shadow to make you less of a noticable target...with a touch of mirror thrown in to make it get off you. Seeing the attack forgotten about and directed somewhere else, too.
If you are being bombarded due to sensitivity....putting a shutter on the relative chakra and remembering to open it up when you need them again.
for generic purposes, just keep yourself clean (etherically) and create a general sheild like armor, brick, or a bubble.

my shields; when I use them are pink rosevine-like tattoos that cover my body, head to toe, the design depends on the exact nature of the shield...
