What other tags do you have? One of them may be interfering, although it is unlikely.
Secondly, I leveled up with this tag when I stopped resisting an aspect of it my ego wouldn’t let me let go of: saying no.
My experiences are similar to the review of this tag on Enlightenedstates:
It’s like this field forces me to strongly say “NO” to any negative message someone tries to send me, and then it holds me in that state of saying No for some time afterward. And it feels a little taxing if you are used to being in a more allowing state.
I noticed this when my family was trying to send me an image of me being selfish to guilt me into interacting with them.
In their image of me, I was someone who was reckless, cared only about himself, and wouldn’t care if my family even died. Extreme, I know.
Earlier in my life I would have loyally done what they asked because who would want their family to have this perception of them?
I had the realization that my morality is okay, and that I’m okay to say no to my family and that doesn’t equate to me wishing they were dead. I just want my boundaries. This allowed the shielding tag to actually begin working for me and stop changing my self-image to what they wanted for me.
This shield is a must for empaths because people are altering your perception of them all the time.
People who want you to like them, in any aspect, will project a more idealized image of themselves. Its not in any way wrong, it just is what it is, but theres great benefit in being able to look past that image.
Try listening to this as well with your use of the tag: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XiejqMDRZk
This helps when you’ve been psychically attacked or are listening to too many fields. Psychic attacks and too many fields will deplete your aura. This fills your aura up with energy and its a must after I’ve been out and about in the world.
