Mirror shields

[ThePaladin]

Oh, yes! big thanks and duhh at my, again, literal self! I was thinking "mirror" only in terms of us looking into one. Bingo, diggin it.

I do know Psychic Vampires live among us on this planet. They can be a mother-in-law, heh heh or anyone that feeds off of the emotional reactions of others. Perhaps the term means a bit different thing to others but I have easily discerned some in my life. It's fun to drive them back on themselves as they see they fail to feed off of us.  

Wow, your explanation can be quite involved. I'm gonna reread and take it in to understand what some of you do.

I just meditate and thank God for discernment and the fact that living in my center, NOT in a bragging way but it's just a gift that any human that meditates is living within a "shield" except when we let ourselves delve into our mental emotional realm, and then we lose that shield for that time.

Drives the vampires mad when they can't provoke, play or manipulate us. My mom-in-law is one of my personal examples. She called me a butterfly, so carefree, before her tactics failed a lot of times.
This can work for any soul on earth.

Yes, there are emotional vampires, those who seem to cause a lot of trauma-drama whenever they're around. Yes, they feed off that. It's like a drug to them, whether they know they're doing it or not. Many are unaware of this tendency. Many are. Best and easiest way to deal with them is to simply stay out of the drama. Don't give them anything to "eat", so to speak.

There are also real vampires in the world. They can feed off emotions but their "food" of choice is life energy. And they feel perfectly entitled to take what they want, because non-vamps are seen as nothing more than cattle. They will tear through your shields if you don't have strong shields. They are capable of attaching what amounts to a feeding tube to you so they can feed at will and you'll have no idea it's happening except you feel weak or under the weather all the time. Emotional vampires are to these vampires what a Smart Car is to a Ferrari.

You may never cross paths with one of these vamps or any of the other energies and entities that exist. You may never feel the need to learn how to protect yourself beyond the most basic shielding. You may never need to learn. Only you will know that for sure.

Wow, thanks DLP for that detailed description. I've surrounded myself with white light before when I thought I might need it, but never thought about using a mirror shield. And it was certainly something I needed some quiet space to create (I would feel it like a gentle rain from above, as well as a fog lifting up from my feet, and I would let it ratchet up until I felt tingly all over), but not something I could throw up in a flash.

I think I have some practicing to do....

White light is good for day to day stuff but I suggest you get in the habit of surrounding yourself with it every time you leave the house. Make it as much a part of your house-leaving routine as gathering up your purse and putting on your coat. That will help with the practice. You can save the shields if you get the vibe that you need something stronger or if you get blindsided by something.

Pink light is good, too, if you're dealing with someone who carries a lot of darkness inside them. They really can't stand the thought of healing or love and they will probably fall over themselves to get away from you.

For me, shielding is just part of energetic hygiene. You wouldn't go out of the house naked. So why go out energetically naked and primed for picking up all sorts of energetic yuck?
