May’s Two-Day Challenge
I am going to offer up challenges, once month, for a few months. I ask your participation.
This month’s challenge is to experience shielding. If you don’t know about shielding, you can listen to the podcast here – Shielding.
DON’T HUG A CACTUS
Some cacti have large needles; some have small, fine hair-like needles. Both can be a nuisance or painful.
Yet, we seem to hug cacti through out the day – metaphorically, not literally. We can pick up other’s energies; the pleasant energy usually doesn’t bother us…but, the negative energy is not so nice. And we pick both up throughout the day, whether we realize it or not.
So, here’s the challenge:
Tomorrow, when you go about your day, try to notice how you feel throughout the day. Note if any person or circumstance gets under your skin; if one does, how does it make your body feel? How about your energy level?
The next day, shield, and then go about your day (shielding as often through out the day as you feel is necessary).
Take note of what you experience. How does your body feel? Your energy level? Was there any difference?
Please come back here and comment on your experience. Let’s see what happens…. (there’s a new category on the right of the screen – labeled “Challenges”).

Sounds like an interesting challenge to me!
Will report back in two days!
I woke up this morning from a dream that was about someone using my brother. I also had a dream about my daughter, a message that was so clear regarding her present living situation.
When I got up, my first words to my grandson were sharp. I was feeling frustrated because he is still not in school, and nothing seems to be happening.
I went into my sister in law’s room to say good morning, and she seemed moody. Again, I felt frustrated. I felt like she wasn’t doing things she said she was going to do. In truth, she isn’t doing the things according to what I perceived. I invited her here and offered my support, unconditionally.
After this, I decided to go back to bed and try it again. I went in my room, and stilled myself, shielded, and changed my mood. Then, I got up, and apologized to my grandson, and told him that I loved him.
I emailed my daughter and told her of my dream. She answered and didn’t see the obvious message. I was deeply disappointed because I feel she is not being responsible at all for her son’s welfare. I don’t like these feelings. I believe, if you don’t like the story that your telling, change the story.
I’m afraid, the rest of my day was more of the same. I tried doing some art, and ended up throwing it away.
I felt very drained, and I started questioning what I am doing. What is my purpose? I felt like I am spinning my wheels. So, I took a nap. I never take naps.
As I am writing this, I can say that I am realizing that my vibration is low and I can change it. By faith, I am trying to do so. However, I am not feeling the passion of appreciation that I have been experiencing lately. I want to get it back. I am also seeing that this challenge is a good thing. As I write these events of my day, I can see them from a different perspective that is much clearer. I can see the different choices in the solutions, and I could have acted on the better choice and avoided the whole energy zapping thing.
I will go to bed tonight and shield before I go to sleep. I will shield again before I get up, and hopefully, tomorrow will be a better day.
Things definitely go smoother when you shield.
Today, I had more energy, my thoughts were better, and I was able to take the negative events that carried over from yesterday, and see them in a different light.
I was able to respond to my daughter in a much more positive way. What was weird about the whole thing was, that I basically said the same thing, but in a non threatening way.
I also finally got something else. You can have the best intentions, and sincerely want to help someone. However, unless they ask for the help, you have a fifty-fifty chance of success. You run the risk of feeling of disappointed or worse, which isn’t good for you or the person you are trying to help. This doesn’t mean that I will stop offering, but I won’t be so pushy in the future.
I thought we were entering into a time where shielding wasn’t so important anymore. I thought that at this stage in time, and given the short time left in this age, and most lessons being complete now, that it didn’t matter. I guess I was very wrong.
Thanks for the challenge. I look forward to next month’s.

Hi Liz! Thank you for taking the challenge, and sharing about it.
As for shielding… One foot here, one foot there. Well, my friend, the one foot here means we still need to shield – we are still interacting with the dramas, the lower energies, etc. Shielding is still a very good idea.
Hi Jan,
I took you up on your challange. I tried shielding before working on a hard cleaning job. Last time I did it, it seemed to never end and I questioned whether I got all of it done. I questioned my ability to do a good job. It all started with a rude cashier at the coffee shop before I arrived at the job. That negativity then worked its way into the work I did because I kept dwelling on that experience and looking for a reason why this person was rude. Anyway, the next day I shielded and got coffee. At the job, it was a breeze because I appeared to have unlimited energey. Wow!
Got it! And many thanks for challenge.
