thats great! i'll have to practice and try that! you must have been really confident to walk into a supermarket like that. what got me thinking about barriers is i recently had help from a very kind demon to fix mine. i have trouble handling being around people for long periods of time but now i can.
i'm psychically vampiric in nature because i don't produce enough energy on my own, so i need to draw light amounts of energy off of the people around me. i always draw what ever they push past thier auras so as not to harm them. anyway, when i slammed up hard shields because peoples emotions were battering me i also cut off my own supply of energy. it was a very bad cycle and impossible to balance until i was shown how to make a porous shield. this shield is now linked into my body like an extra set of skin and i open and close the poirs without thinking about it. drawing what i need and protecting me.
there are so many reasons that joinng joy of satan has stopped my habitual depressions, and that shield is just one of them. to be able to interact with people without pain or fatigue is truly awesome!

i'm interested in how people naturally form their own barriers and these barriers are different form person to person with there own strengths and weaknesses. if people could describe there shield in this thread that would be awesome.
Interesting subject, as I have experimented a great deal with shielding and banishment, especially in my witchcraft days.
As you are probably aware, highly functioning open chakras and a bright aura attract attention, and not all of it is wanted. What works for me is creating a cover for my aura (sometimes it is a heavy wool blanket, sometimes it is impenetrable metal siding) that I bring down from the top of my aura to my feet and below. Use whatever works. Program it how you wish, to not let anything out, to not let anything in, whatever you need.
You can practice with this before you need it with your friends, setting up your shield, and see if they can sense a difference. If you are alone, or don't have any sympathetic friends, you can do it before going out and gauge the responses. The best experiment I did (and it was fun) was to dress in a wacky get-up, and go to the grocery store, shields up, and I knew I had it down when no one batted an eye! Got the idea from Crowley, who was practicing invisibility, and knew he had it down when he could walk down the street with a crown and robes on and no one noticed.
Have a phrase or a hand gesture closely associated with the shielding, so when you need it you can just think the phrase or do the gesture to activate it. With enough practice it becomes second nature, and is great if you have to work closely with jerks or will be infiltrating enemy territory (forced to go to church, religious building, whatever).
