Shielding

["Regulus Magus <RegulusMagus@...>" <RegulusMagus@...>]

To All:

I hope by sharing some of my mistakes we might convert these into 
learning experiences for myself and others. It is Saturday evening 
and I have been enjoying a pleasant few hours reading the files 
posted on the Bardon Companion web site. I read the essay on 
Shielding with great interest. I tried the first shield (using the 
white light) and that seemed to go very well. Emboldened to practice 
something more advanced I tried the next one using an accumulation of 
Vital Energy.

I haven't yet reached that part of IIH (still on step 1) but I have 
learned to move what I think is VE during my study of other 
disciplines. I thought, "what the heck - the worst that can happen is 
that it won't work." Ah, the optimism of a beginner! <rueful smile>

I created the three VE shields and set them rotating. Well, first I 
started to get pleasantly warm (it is a cool night out here in the 
Midwest of the U.S.). Then unpleasantly warm. As I write at this 
moment I am bathed in sweat. Plus . . . all that spinning of the 
shields is making me very dizzy for some reason (in fact I feel like 
I am spinning in the opposite direction as the direction of rotation 
I willed into the shields).

Fortunately I know how to ground the energy I call up so I am not 
anticipating any real problems -- I just wanted to know what I did 
wrong (other than the obvious error of trying something too advanced 
for my level of attainment).

Contritely, dizzily and over-heatedly yours, /RM/

P.S. The effects are fading -- I think concentrating on writing this 
e-mail let the shields dissipate.
