Very often, it may be necessary in life to create an energetic shield for oneself. We need boundaries to protect us from emotions and energies in others that may be hurtful to us. I suggest, for those who are visually inclined, to create a shield using mixed media. A shield can be as large as one’s chest size, or as small as you’d like it. Creating a shield will serve as a metaphoric statement for you to have safety. What images call to you of safety and protection? What shape would feel right for containment and to carry shield like energy? in what area of your body do you need protection most? Most people need to protect their heart, such an area of vulnerability.
