Shields are exactly as they sound. They create a barrier between us and the world. Shields can be self-imposed – we may believe that we need the shield to protect ourselves from something outside of us, or we may believe that we need to punish ourself by keeping ourself distanced from something. Or shields may be put on us by someone else, either to protect us, or to prevent us from seeing something the other person doesn’t want us to see.
No matter the origin, shields are all addressed in the same way.
While someone took action to put up the shield in the first place, there is an energetic reason for the shield to be held in place – a stuck energy. To remove the shield, it is simply a matter of finding and releasing the stuck energy that is keeping it in position.
On occasion, you may find that after removing the shield, you will find that shield anchors remain. Generally speaking, if you have been doing a visualization exercise with your client to determine if the shield has been removed, they will actually see “remnants”…and those are these shield anchors. Shield anchors are dealt with the same way as the shields themselves –
find the stuck energy that is keeping them in place and release it
