D. Virtue PhD -renowned spiritual psychologist,  tells clients to shield at all times. I tell my clients to and you will feel more energy. When you get up, shield your home and possessions, your car and family, friends, neighborhood and world. The world will thank you with blessings and miracles. I am not kidding.
Go into the shower and feel its a rainbow of angel light cleaning you and reviving you. Its a powerful feeling. Tell yourself you are beautiful, whole and healthy, no matter how you feel or what anyone says. Watch your body become whole, healthy, and beautiful.
Shield white for all around protection, green for physical healing, pink for all kinds of love, friendship, family, romantic, partner, etc. Send orange for creativity, purple for removing lower energies. Send blue light into people who are distressed or arguing with you to calm situations. It is important to shield when you feel tired, drained, this means the light is fading and needs your intention to come full force again.
