Dear Paul, >> I have been meaning to ask about the purpose of rotating the shield. I have heard of 'white light' shields and the like, but making it rotate is new to me. I have thought that it may have something to do with keeping the shield around your body like a center of gravity, or to keep it from going 'stagnant'? Is clockwise the active direction? << Rotation keeps the shield active and the clockwise rotation specifically, works to maintain the integrity of the shield while gradually increasing its density and power. A shield that stands still, especially one constructed of the VE, tends to dissipate fairly quickly. One set rotating however, tends to remain focused for a longer period. It's also much easier to make a rotating vortex of energy, tap into and continuously replenish itself from the universal storehouse of energy, than it is to do the same with a standing-still, inert cloud of energy. Setting your accumulation of Light or VE into motion directly communicates your intent to the shield. It gives it immediate and unmistakeable purpose. Therefore, when something you want to shield against enters your environment, it will immediately recognize the intent of your shield. My best to you, :) Rawn Clark 11 Feb 2003 rawnclark@... rawn@... http://www.ABardonCompanion.com http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BardonPraxis
