Lesson 2 - Non-shield defenses

You can read about shields anywhere.  They’re spoken of on every site, in hundreds of articles, in thousands of forum posts.  They are a universal, widely used, and highly touted way to protect you from everything.  You’re overwhelmed by empathy? Make a shield.  You’re being drained? Make a shield. You have a headache? Make a shield. You want to stop having nightmares? Make a shield.  It’s the umbrella statement panacea for all energetic, mystical, and otherwise potentially occult problems.

I’d like to speak a little blasphemy.  I haven’t used a shield in approximately a year.  *Waits for the screams of horror to die down.* Yes, I’m still alive.  No I’ve not been defenseless; I am not vulnerable.  How? There are alternatives to shields, there are other ways to be safe.  There are arguably better ways to be safe.  That’s what this lesson will be discussing.
