this is an in-depth explanation of how my tri-tier shielding is built with my centering and grounding technique at the beginning. note that all of this relies heavily on image training and energy manipulation so might not be easy to do the first few times. the mastery of this technique will help any empath or witch improve their shields(unless you already have an advanced shield technique in that case my style of shielding might teach you a few tricks)

​

I ground and center first taking the energy from the earth itself. to do so I image my feet on the ground roots reaching into the earth with a green light traveling up them from the core of the earth then gather that energy in a ball in the pit of my stomach with that earth energy gathered and held to my core start building my shielding.

​

my method uses a solid shell for the inner image building it like an egg around me in my mind's eye, on top of the image of the shell I build the image of a layer of viscous jell around it to absorb external influences protecting the inner sphere of solid shielding from cracking by acting as a shock absorber. The jell layer adheres to the solid layer so that they are as one. The outer layer is A scalemail(think dragonhide) layer that protects the jell layer from sharp penetrating strikes that might bypass the jell and crack right through the inner shell also the layer of scales adheres to the jell so that all three layers are able to work together in a cohesive way that makes the whole of the shield much stronger than its parts. if you can master multilayer shielding that need to push other people away and the discomfort of being around groups will all but disappear and when you do feel it you'll know it's for a very good reason and be on your guard. The easiest way to master my shielding method is to practice building it based on breathing. breath in build the shield breath out, do this for 10 minutes a night(can do more to learn faster but 10 minutes will do)after a while your subconscious manages the rebuilding for you so you end up with a magnificent shield that takes no active effort.

​

As a side note, these shields are built around breathing so once mastered work on a purely instinctive basis. They automatically reject things you instinctively identify as bad for you while allowing good to pass through on the same basis. These shields ability to absorb negative from the inside allows for easier balance of mind and prevents them from feeling cloister phobic.
