"Techniques are to be developed over the
years to shield from unwanted energy as vampires as a slight
imbalance in energies can be detrimental to the vampire’s
health. This is especially true with PsiVampires where many kinds
of energy are "absorbed". Energies to be shielded from
are negative forms such as what may be found in the emotions of
others and the mental probes of other vampires.
"There have been many methods introduced to help with shield
development. Imagination combined with focusing skills are most
important in shielding. Some vampires have had success with using
light sources such as candles or focusing on one specific object
in the room while blocking out other distractions around you.
Here you must concentrate on the energy of the candle or other
object of your attention and break the effect and impact of the
unwanted energy sources. This takes time to develop, but can be
done with little effort, especially if you are psychicly
inclined. However, these learning techniques may not work for
everyone. These are a foundation to developing your own shielding
techniques. Once personal skills are well developed and the
ability is acquired to separate negative and positive energy,
making feeding from emotional energy successful. All things are
constantly being bombarded by emotional energy—but it is the
vampire who suffers from this the most, being ultra-sensitive.
This is why shielding is the paramount necessity. This is what
truly separates empathic vampires from ordinary people, i.e. the
ability to readily absorb any emotional energy nearby. It is the
well-skilled vampire that can shield from the pain of negative
emotions and energy probes of other vampires. This of course does
not mean all of this energy will not get through. As a well
developed empathic vampire I feel the pain of negative emotional
energy every day when around other people, but it is kept at a
minimum with my shielding ability."
