    Default Fear: the worst

    I'm personally becoming quite frustrated by my issues with shielding / defence (or apparent lack thereof). In meditation I react from fear all too often, causing me to either "see" nothing, or instantly make horrifying images / creatures out of the specks behind my eyes - to the point where I would prefer not to see anything, and it goes back to simply specks. E.g. meditating in my bed last night before sleep, I saw a demon (for lack of a better term). This was after creating a circle. He wasn't entirely vivid, and went away after a number of tracings of a banishing pentagram, but it was still annoying.

    In dreams I have the guts to face anything, but in waking practice I'm either guarding myself from terrible images - by involuntarily blocking my sight - or (occasionally) facing them in impartial study of their features - ie relaxing my fears and allowing them to be there in front of me. It would be nice to see some positive imagery one day...

    I put this down to an over-active imagination (which is otherwise an advantage in my work, as you might expect) while instinctively expecting the worst - in other words fear. Either that, or I'm consistently attracting a lot of scary stuff without asking for it. Or both, given my environment and my mind are two sides to the same coin when speaking in a magickal context.

    Perhaps I need to get serious about self-defence / shielding so I can relax and get on with the good stuff. Another option is some healing to soothe my own aggression etc - which will hopefully be reflected in the visions I project onto the speckles behind my eyes.

    Any suggestions or alternative approaches?
    It's neither either nor or,
    It's either both or neither.

    I would imagine it is one of two things, a spiritual or mental cause, Spiritual. You're not cleansing before you cast a protection circle and keep meditating in the same spot. These visions in your mind thus cause thoughtforms of the creatures that re-occur. Mental, your mind is trying to fight the sensation of quieting by shocking you with dark images, to get it back into activity. Same way it sends thoughts to your head when you try to sleep.

    Either way, I recommend these two options (both of them) cleansing the area before you sleep, ways to do this would be A, mix up some holy water (add salt to tap water, say a prayer over it) and lightly asperge the area where you meditate. Secondly, before you meditate, picture a relaxing blue light at your feet, tighten them, count to three. Then let the light move upward to your calves, then thighs, then hips, then stomach, chest, upper arms, lower arms, hands, neck, and finally. Head. Each time tensing them for 3 seconds before releasing the pressure and letting the light move upwards. Then focus on your breathing and start to meditate. Just let everything wash over you. It's one of the best ways I've found to meditate.

    I say cleanse your self and ask your higher self to help you out in dealing wit the fear. be patient and keep it up.Practice shields and swords, do not be afraid to experiment. And rememeber fear is an illusion,but eventually you have to face it.

    This is an old post I know, but I just wanted to thank the original poster for a wonderful introduction to shielding. There was some new stuff in there that I hadn't considered before, so I will try out some new things later today.

    Default Mer Ka BA

    The counter and clockwise circles/shield that the thread starter mentioned is much like the ascensionists merkaba work, in which a star of david light body has two counter rotating planes or triangles for interdimensional work. Very interesting.

    i wonder where does the energy come from to make these shields, and what sustains it. I consider it may be fed partly from the person who produces energy and directs it by their intention to the shield to replenish it as itr is used up by wear and tear of circumstance, and the other part of the energy comes from an iconic thoughtform concentrate in the astral light called 'Sheilds.'
    Also i think it can be interesting to think of the blue sky around the whole of the world and several miles thick that protects us from meteorites and dying in the vacuum of space because it is a powerful example of the action of shilding.
    One other thing is that the energy fields ie aura around the body is sort of an elongated ball so the coating of energy can be imagined applied directly and specifically to entirely enclose the aura to protect you.

    Default auric shielding

    It is part of your astral body so although a person initiates it.....the interface is with limitless energy grid, you never want to draw from
    your energy really when doing majic because it will burn out, whereas elements, earth, aarchetypal energy is a larger source...
