tldr: It is important to learn how to effectively shield ourselves in just 3 simple steps and this is a great way to protect our energies from being influenced negatively~
It might seem like a strange topic to start the New Year of 2026 but it is also rather important
The New Year has started with some news that spark negativity like fear and concern
Such as the Nipah virus that at the moment, we have no idea how it will turn out
From cheating incidents, to a laptop exploding in a library
It made me wonder, how to talk about something good and nice for the New Year?
Then I think, yea hor, what about shielding?
Learning how to shield oneself can not only help prevent negative news from affecting you
It can also be a general defense against the dark arts (ok Harry Potter pun hahaha)
Besides a shield, other words can be barrier, protection, bubble… you get the picture
Ok so for those who have no idea what am I talking about~

What is a shield?
Besides a literal shield like what Captain America uses, we also use this term as a metaphysical or a spiritual one
So it is still a shield la
But instead of carrying it on your arm, it is like a bubble surrounding you
And you are in the bubble
This is important
Imagine you only have a shield protecting you from the front, behind can kena backstab leh
Anyway, this shield will protect you from negative things and only allow positive things to enter
My view is quite different from the usual metaphysics shield
Because they tend to think a shield is an on/off thing
It blocks all energy, thus also preventing positive energies from entering
So a spiritual or energy healer might remove their shield when they heal
But this in turns makes them susceptible to negative energies from their client
Which is why if they don’t regularly cleanse themselves, they will fall sick
My idea of a shield is that, it will run commands which you set
So if you set protect from negative only, it will allow positive to come in
No issue~
Regardless, whether it is under metaphysics and is a spiritual or energy thing
Or whether it is a psychological thing, a matter of belief for protection
Perhaps even a combination of all the above, that is what a shield is
A manifestation of protection for you

But does it really work?
Good question
Let’s assume it doesn’t work, no harm done
Cause whatever negative or positive you getting will have no change, and just practicing this shield for couple minutes a day for the next week or so doesn’t do anything
If after a week, a month, or whatever time frame you set for yourself and you see and feel no difference, then you can stop
And that’s it lor
Obviously you cannot do once and call it a day or a failure if it doesn’t protect you from anything ah…
On the other hand, if it does work, well, you got a pretty good basic protection~
But even if you note not much difference (maybe cause your life not much negative energies surrounding you so nothing much to protect from)
It is still a good practice
I learnt how to create a basic shield from my friend, Master Max Liang, who is a fengshui master, numerologist and face reader
And of course, beginning I also cannot tell the difference but I just do it anyway
One day I met this lady and we clicked and became friends
Turns out she was a tarot carder and knows reiki too (back then I didn’t know how to read tarot)
I think she was reading about my relationship using tarot and felt I very poor thing, hard to find a girlfriend or something, and decided to send a reiki symbol to me without me knowing
She had a look of shock!
I’m like, what happened?
She didn’t say anything and just reached her hand forward and gasped
Because she touched my shield
She shared that she sent a reiki symbol to me and it just went splatted in midair
Which never happened to her before

Why did the shield protect me?
Remember that I set my shield to protect me from negative things and only accept positive things?
So why did it block this positive reiki symbol?
This is because I gave a specific set of instructions, and one of them was…
Only if I allow the positive to come
Only with my permission, will the shield allow the positive energy to come
Now you might be wondering, why do I do that?
Afterall, if people want to send positive things, just accept even if you don’t know it right?
Yea well, no, I don’t want that
To me, yea they might be sending something positive, but whether it is truly positive or tainted with negative, I do not know
My friend I believe, truly wanted to send something positive to me
But another person might send something positive with the intention for getting something back
Not really negative, but not truly positive either
Or in another case, maybe the person believes they are sending something positive
But because they carry other negative stuff, some of it piggyback with the supposed positive
Thus tainting it
There was another friend who used reiki to bless a cup of coffee with love, but the energy ended up being of frustration instead
This friend didn’t realize and thought it was positive, but it was actually tainted with their own personal emotions and energy
Imagine drinking a cup of frustration and what that might do to you, your mind and body
But seriously, that might cause some discomfort or sickness due to the link between mind and body

How to create a basic shield?
This is the simple way to build a basic shield
1. imagine a ball of energy in your stomach (the solar plexus chakra, the dan tian) and spin it
2. allow it to expand until the ball of energy is covering your entire body, such that even if you stretch out your arms, you cannot touch the shield
3. give the shield the intention to protect you from negative things, things you do not want, things that may hurt or harm you, and the shield can accept positive things, things that you do want, things that help or benefit you
And yup pretty much that’s it
Do this every day, multiple times a day if you can
And you can do this laying in bed, sitting in a chair, standing in the MRT etc
I like to think of this shielding technique as like a skill in a game and need experience to level it up
So the more you practice, the better you get, the more it can protect
There is another gamification that I like to share too
Imagine this shield has either a fixed defense points, or a time factor
Leveling up the skill will allow you to have greater defense points, or a longer time before it disappears
In both cases, just need to redo and recreate it
The color of the shield doesn’t really matter to me, so you can set any color you want
Or just let it be whatever color comes out
And yes, there is an advanced shield technique but I’m not going to teach you yet
Master this first and talk to me again 😉

Additional Interesting Story
Do you believe there are psychics in this world??
And yes, it sort of relates to my shields too haahah
Anyway I met two self claimed psychics who attempted to scan me but couldn’t read anything because my shield protected me from their scans
One was a guy who said he scans and reads everyone he meets, but it was the first time he couldn’t scan or read someone
He was surprised that I had not only a shield, but a powerful one that could block him
The other was a lady, although she did admit she like to manipulate her friends’ thoughts and emotions
Which I think is not good la…
Anyway, she attempted to get into my mind to read my thoughts I think
And failed to do so because of my protection
She got frightened though
I think similarly, she didn’t expect anyone to be able to block her
Now I know what you are thinking: Are they even real?
Hence why I put self claimed psychics
But it makes for an interesting story eh?
I do have other interesting stories and experiences relating to shields but that’s for another time
Remember to practice your technique every day a few times a day!
Get the experience flowing, level up your shields, and you can protect yourself much more easier
Against negative energies from negative people, whether intended or unintended
Stay safe and well always~
