trying to create the necessary shield

[Sun Sprite]

Sadly, as a pre-teen I had a better understanding of this than I do at 30. Then, I was so able to block in the bad things and forget them, I thought I was going crazy when I finally dealt with them in my 20's. That childhood shield let everything in, and nothing out, though I never saw the bad stuff until the shield melted away.

I am trying once again to reconnect to the peace I knew before. I know its there from time to time. This place I live isn't really "home" though. Anyway, I need to learn to create a special shield. I need to let the bad things that have happened, or may happen go through and out again. Somethings I do need to process and be aware of, just don't need to keep it all in. I need to let the bad back out through the shield, not hold it in. I need to let the good in, let it grow, and share it with others. I don't like feeling super strong emotions from others that I don't understand.

Well, it's a passage more in my mind than a shield. I place to release like opening a damn.

Can you think of it in those terms? And create a ritual for that? Perhaps it will let it all out!

I know what you mean Sun. Lot's of medatation, grounding, & cleansing is what I'm doing right now. I'm sorry I cn't offer more than that :hugz:

Go and take a ritual bath. Rose water essence if you have it. Something with rose scent. Allow yourself to feel free and unencumbered by the negatives that harm you. Do a visualisation of all that bothers you is floating out of you and going down the drain with the bath after you get out.

Create for yourself a mindplace that you can go to when emotions and such come at you. And most importantly, keep happy thoughts as much as you can. And bathe in the good feelings around you. Hope this might help sweety.

A good cleansing that I use sometimes is a brown egg. I hold my hads over it and pray that all of the harmful energies be transfered into the egg. I then get totally bare ass naked you don't have to but I fell that it helps) and go in the bathroom and rub the egg everywhere (sorry for the visual, lol) Pay special attention to the heart region and the back of the neck. I visualize the egg as sort of a vacum. When I am done I crack the egg and flush it down the toilet. I don't like to waste so I only do this when I feel like a problem is particularly bad. As for sheilding I prefer the method where you visualize the shield like a semi permable membrane. Sort of like the walls of a cell. It lets the benifical substances in and keeps toxins out.
