I've heard visualizing a white orb around you is the basics of how to shield , but any tips on how to make the shields stronger or what to think about would be helpful , also how to make a long lasting shield one that can stand on its own without you having to focus on it would be helpful

I have a few things I do; here are two ways I've used to create shields:

While I do utilize visualizations a lot, my strongest gift is feeling, so what I do is I find a protection spell or a mantra that I feel connected to and I either chant it or mentally repeat it until I feel the energy build up and release it to do its work. I try to do this everyday and after time the continued repetition has built the energy up strong enough I don't usually worry about the shield during the day after I set it in the morning. Now when I do anything meta related I do have a bunch of added things I use on top of that including preprogrammed talismans I've either charmed myself or purchased and keep them on me while I'm doing my work.

If you are better at visualization you can always build layers into your shield by connecting to and channeling energies you feel closest too (examples are any elemental, crystal, astral, universal, reiki, etc..) and feeding it into your aura to surround you. I've done this and to keep it in place I usually picture the energy being grounded into the earth on top of being continually fuelled by the sun. When I work with this method I do try to go outside to touch ground and be in the sun at least once a week or more depending on my personal energy levels or if I'm feeling unsafe in any way, and I will use visualization to reset it every time I do. Now if I am shielding something stationary like a home I will tie these energies into an object, and you can do this for yourself with an object you carry on you if you'd like, something to physically represent your shields for a better connection.

I don't actually visually meditating. To me it has to be down to earth, nature, grounding, sunlight, beach walks, trees and green foliages. Aromatherapy also very clearing and relaxation and healthier living is especially important for a strong shield in my views. Playing on my instruments, due to sounds resonating vibration, absolutely amazing protection. Even if you just buy yourself a singing bowl will do. But I play on few instruments. Native American flute is excellent as well. I have one for nearly all of my chakras. Anyway, everyone is different. This is my method. I have protection and shielding companions and spells blends. I trust Mag and Ash with those as I am a beginner in everything.

If you search the Forum for wingedwolfpsion as a post author, you may well learn stuff from her other instructional posts. One mentions house shields, for example.

PS I think one trick to achieve a longer lasting or stronger shield is probably to learn the skills of creating a construct that can be programmed, eg in terms of time duration and strength. Practice makes perfect too.

One route to that is learning psionics. Winged Wolf has a book for beginners on that.

Beginning Psionics - A Psionics Training Manual by Winged Wolf, available on Amazon.

Wow... I cheked out this weblink. I just realised I do have an image that I though it's just my brain. I sit in my Merkaba when I had enough of life and everything. It's my secret space with my companions. I can practice something like I read on this link to add onto my space. I know it's not my thread, but like always others can learn something new. I probably need to revisit my secret, sacred Merkaba. And do some upgrades. Thanks again Lewk. Much appreciated as always.

Since my...ability issues.....yeah, anyway...I began using a couple of methods. We saved up enough money for a VR system. It took us a while but we did it. There are meditation...games? You just sit, relax to the soothing sounds and it could be in a forest, on a beach...a few options. One program/game has guided mKY 4 r qwqwwww3editation.

The other way I am meditating is by drawing...more like free doodling...I can't free write. It helps me a bit, especially when there is music in the background.

^cat hit keys on my phone and I meant to say *guided meditation *

It helps me see my energy shields easier...

Cats... causing issues since... ever

Can you recommend a VR meditation game? I am thinking about getting a VR set for half a year now but mostly thought about combat games.

Nature Treks is a good one there are multiple places. There isn't any guided meditation, though. We have the HTC Vive which is connected to our Steam accounts.
