Strange Experiences
Ok, this week my post is less about guidance and more about a personal experience I had the other day.
I have heard of empaths who "sense" world events, and who feel changes coming. So maybe that links into this.
For me, when I sense people, I feel a connection to them, like there is a thread that lets me know they are ok. The other night, I felt all of those threads snap at the same time. One minute I was connected. The next second, they were gone and I was adrift.
Imagine being asleep, and waking up with the absolute certainty that everyone you love has just left you, or died, and you are completely alone in the world, and you have some understanding of the panic that went through my mind at that instant.
After a few seconds the connections came back. I could feel that everyone was ok. But I cannot now shake the feeling that I missed something monumental. I have no reason for why this would have happened.

Shielding
First of all, my apologies for the missed week. It was a very busy week for me. A belated Mabon blessing to all of you.
This week my post is going to regard shielding. This was inspired due to an onslaught of energy I have felt recently. I only recently moved into new accomodation, and had until today forgotten to properly prepare the room. So this will concentrate on personal shields.
Before shielding, always meditate. It helps to focus your mind. I also like to use an altar and cast a circle to summon the energy, but that is my personal preference.
When I shield, as with all my techniques, I follow my instinct. For me, I find it easiest with a room to visualise energy coming to me from the earth. I then visualise on focusing this energy and directing it with my hands, "spreading" it around the room in the form of light. First I focus on the walls, starting with in front of me and moving around til my hands meet behind my back. At the point my hands connect i view this as it "locking" and the light becomes an impenetrable forest in my minds eye. Then I focus on the ceiling, and i see this light lock with the walls and become a stormy sky overhead. Then the floor, which locks into stone, like you would find in a cave.
When I visualise a shield for myself, I see a funnel of fire, which starts under me then tapers around me to meet in a point above my head. I visualise this fire "burning" any negative energy which approaches me.
I also visualise guardians. For me, they are mythical creatures, but any creature will do. In my minds eye I see a dragon which guards my window and a pair of Unicorns which guard my door. I see them as a deterent to any who would wish me harm, and as a guard against any negativity sent against me by people who come within the shielded area.
Shielding my room helps me feel safe. It also helps protect me from distance energy that I sometimes pick up on. It also ensures my room becomes my sacred space. My retreat. I recommend it to anyone looking for a space like that. You can do it to any room in your house.
A simple beginners method is to visualise a ball of light surrounding you and growing until it encompasses all you wish to protect. You have to be careful to focus it to the room rather than yourself if that is what you desire to protect however, as if you visualise it as around yourself rather than your room, the shield will remain with you.
It is important to regularly check your shields. They can wear down, and if they become too tattered they won't work as well. So check them every now and then, especially if you begin to feel overwhelmed or stressed. It could just be extra negativity getting through.
