I was going to put this in off topic but you know...this is totally on topic. Thanks to @Kapmcrunk I have decided to try and refine our definition of the "Shield effect" so we can give those unfamiliar with the term something to help put it into context for them.
The Shield Effect
Time and time again I have read posts that mentions “The Shield Effect”. I felt compelled to post a more refined definition and detail analysis of the Shield Effect. To refine the definition of the Shield Effect lets analyze some of the current ideas about the human body and energy fields.
Hindus, Buddists, Zoroastrians, and other spiritual practices all have the concept of Auras within them. Some depict physical manifestations of Auras and others describe it as a mental and emotional impression. We know that electromagnetic fields are produced by living cells and that this enables communication between nerve cells and the actuation of muscle tissue. According to the Center for Space Power and Advanced Electronics the human body has the capability to produce 11,000 watt hours. That is enough energy to potentially power 1 home...from a human body.
So it exists...right? We have Theological, philosophical and scientific accounts of “Auras” or “The Shield Effect”. But why does it have to be one or the other?
Kava effects us both physically and mentally. Along with all the physical sensations many of us have experienced shifts in our perspectives, thoughts and beliefs. It has resulted in the adoption of healthier life styles and states of mind for many of us. Would we have one without the other? I'm not convinced we would.
Now here is were the description starts and the point were I'm just getting the proverbial ball rolling.
Our daily lives bring us into close proximity with other people on a regular bases. We have mental and emotional exchanges with some of those people which in turn generates positive, negative or neutral emotions by both individuals. This mental and emotional exchanges leads me to believe that this shield of energy we mention so many times is both a physical manifestation that we can collide with as well as a mental and emotional impression. Can we have one without the other? Yes, But together they form a concept with a much deeper meaning than they would individually.
So what does it look like? Lets take this 1 step at a time.
The Basic Shield (fig 1 & 1.1)
We all have one, spiritually and physically, larger ones and smaller ones, impenetrable and permeable ones. Each of us has our own distinct frequency...a “vibe” so to speak. They are made up of the stuff that is the sum of our experiences, personal beliefs and emotions (and perhaps even more). It's an energy field that can be pushed on and penetrated by others, expanded and contracted according to our moods, physical health and thoughts.
The Link and Flowing energy (fig 2 & 2.1)
This one is a little tricky. Yes, the shield is a barrier but that's not it's only possible function. Picture a semipermeable membrane. It lets certain things in while keeping other things out. Within this channel a flow of energy back and forth between the two interacting individuals takes place and at some point both energy bubbles intersect and bond (well maybe). People can emit positive or negative energy so the possible interaction between two distinct energy fields depends on the circumstances and perceptions of the individual in question. But...that is beyond the scope of this brief and very basic description of “The Shield Effect”.
The Shield Effect, I would propose, is both the physical manifestation and the mental and emotional impressions of our physical awareness.
