I think Maitreya is talking about the outer negative energy affecting your manifestation, not the shield. I say this because I’m still able to manifest desires. 
Please clarify this Maitreya.

I meant that most of the protections (not this one, because we put invisibility on it) are stoping the energy on both sides.
People are antennas and as you are hiding/protect from the outer world to be affected by “negative” energy, the same way you are stopping the flow that is going from yourself to the Universe. Actually, there is no “negative” energy, so I will give a little more explanation about this.
Why I am using the word “hiding”? When you clear your subconsciousness from something which attracts attacks to you - you are clearing the whole problem and it disappears (this means you don’t need any more protection), but when you are using a tool from the outside world / or protection that you made by your own - you are “hiding” this part of yourself from the Universe and the flow it’s not on maximum.
Years ago I was making protections on myself every morning besides the ones that were working automatically. At some moment the manifestations which I was trying to make, stopped. And this was for everything, from small to big things.
When I wanted to see what is happening, I saw that I am separating myself from the world and the Universe (this is what protections make) and the flow stop.
So, I don’t tell protections to don’t be used, but people should use the protections that they only need and have some scenarios in their life that are engaged with some kind of attack - emotional, physical, or mental. I am telling this because I saw many times people make/purchase hundreds of protections for themselves without needing them.
When you are making/purchasing protection that is not related to your life, you give an order /expecting/ from the Universe to create a situation or to draw people which will attack you.
This is general for most of the protections. Adaptive Shield is another job - it has intelligence and adapts to the things that are trying to harm you, but without drawing them and without stopping the manifestations. This is the reason I told, that this field is a very good idea from @ Atreides. One of my new favorite “invisible” protections.

@Maitreya , Could it be that the chameleon protection does not hide us from the flow of the universe ?!the adaptive shield has a real advantage in not blocking the manifestation,but I imagine that it does not protect from all energy dangers ?!I mean if it replaces all of the other shields and it’s is complete enough to shield us from everything, then that’s fine.But if he doesn’t protect us from everything and we need other protection,so how to solve the problem of the manifestation blocked by the other shields ?!

Thanks @Maitreya this is very helpful.
I always thought I will have more energy and have many protection shields, different versions of protection tags, audios, etc. I am getting much faster results after I stopped trying to protect myself with all these shields and just sticking with only the Chamaeleon shield. These shields were blocking many fields and not letting the energy get to me.

I know your question is for Maitreya so not trying to block or steal you getting a response. Just wanted to share a thought or two on this. Not The answer, just a thought.
The shields do very different things from each other. They are not merely “shields”. Spend enough time with just one and you’ll see. Helm boosts willpower. Chameleon blends in. Empath transmutes your inner state. There is a lot to choose from and it gives options for customization, finding just the right combo that suits your personality for the time being.
They protect in different ways. Helm or Empath will each do some things to keep “bad” out that Adaptive will not. Combined they can do even more. But you get to decide what for you is “heavy” or too much.

I’d love a shield that can shut down unconstructive criticism from folks who are inclined to sling plenty of insults due to their own frustrations/traumas/problems, and this seems like it might do it. Sometimes even the mighty Chameleon just isn’t mighty enough to block this sort of thing if you’re in situations you can’t always remove yourself from. And there are situations when you just can’t win with words, either.
(No hate for the Chameleon mandala, though, because that has cut down on BS in general, for sure.)
I understand being hurt and disappointed in life causes people to lash out, but no one likes being a target. It can be hard to work on myself and my issues with the low-vibe distractions. I don’t want to resent the person for the way they talk to me, but I find myself slipping down that road sometimes and am trying very hard to course-correct and release that useless emotion.
So, yeah, I’ll camp here for now and read all the juicy anecdotes.

That stuff bothers me at least 95% less with this. It doesn’t necessarily stop it from coming though. If you want to reduce the frequency and duration of attacks, I suggest you look to Helm of Awe. It won’t eliminate them, but reduce. We can’t create a perfect world anyways. Or maybe with Maya?
Adding Empath protection, the stuff bothers me less but the attacks increase. So… make of that what you will. Chameleon is sort of the same for me. It’s a trade off that I’m not always sure I want to make. Adaptive though, subjectively - as always, that margin of frequency of attacks vs degree of attacks bothering me seems clearly great enough that it’s an easy choice to keep using.
Same with Helm basically.
But since I’m always questing for better results, I tried something recently, adding Warrior Archetype (the 15 dollar one) to make a trio. It’s a very comprehensive field. Any archetype would have to be - touching on many things. It’s a whole personality more or less. One part of it mentioned in the description is doing a better job of drawing the line between yourself and others. That would mean a strong healthy ego boundary. Weirdly enough, people that go on about ego being bad and needing to be reduced, don’t realize that it’s a weak ego boundary that causes people to believe everything is about them, and therefore they need to control you. Egotistical people are ruled by their weak ego. Think of someone with a skin disorder being ruled by it, their every decision dictated by trying not to enflame a painful skin condition. Our weakest parts can rule us.
Taking this approach, I seem to be getting plenty mileage out of it so far. Being 0% bothered by other people’s behavior while still being alive may be a ridiculous goal, but I’m drawn to it. This trio has gotten me closer to the goal than ever. Other people are other people. They are not you. Nothing they do tells you who you are, even when they want you to think it does.

Thanks for your in depth analysis; I really appreciate you sharing your experiences because it can be really hard to choose when so spoiled for choice. I’m reminded of a line that came up the other day while I was tapping - it was about remembering that everything people do and say are a reflection of themselves and not you. Also, honestly, I don’t think it’s ridiculous at all. The less bothered you are by shit on the outside, the more you can focus your energy on the stuff that matters. I aim to be as unbothered as possible, too, because I don’t like how easily some people close to me can raise my hackles and the fact that I’m clearly still looking for something from them if it ticks me off this much. It’s just not worth it.

Speaking my mind there. The insight comes before the struggle is overcome. Lol.
Exactly! Just to live, to really actually fully live. Yes, to use our own energy for something worthy, rather than on feeding a false sense of worth of a psychological con by letting them get to us.
Their tricks really are so cheap. Not masterminds at all. It’s our flaws that work against us. So in the end… let’s see…

I feel you hard on that. It’s nice knowing we’re on similar journeys here. I just want some peace and to be surrounded more often by kinder words than rough, critical garbage.
I don’t even see it as tricks, really. My dad was/is a narcissist in the desperately fragile, abusive, boundary-crossing sense, and while I used to think of the shit he did as being the result of ‘scheming’, he’s really just a damaged, broken person who just can’t help himself. I feel like when you shift things to view it that way, it really takes more power away from folks like that. Even better if you are able to put physical distance between you and a source of negativity, ofc! Like you said, no masterminds here. Hurtful people are just big ol’ clumsy hammers, usually, and…
It’s our flaws that work against us
Damn right.

I think something like this happens. This is just a part of the phenomenon of “empaths” encountering abusive people. We had a person in our past who did not care about us. It could be a parent from the distant past or a girlfriend from the recent past. Part of us wants to believe that on some level they cared. As long as we keep that image in our subconscious of an uncaring person being caring, we misidentify everyone we come across. The door stays open and we “recognize” an uncaring stranger as someone who deserves access to our inner self. We see them as part of us.
They recognize this openness and use it for meeting their goal or desire. They make you feel worth less. Then when they see that you even somewhat believed their message to you about yourself, they feel superior. They have used you as a prop, as in a stage prop, to falsely boost their sense of worth. Because they’ve lost touch with how to do so legitimately. Being a real and whole person is off limits to them because they chose to be an enemy to a part of their self long ago. They sided with an abusive parent against their self in order to make friends with that enemy. They chose power or safety over truth.
I see this also at times when I use etheric cord cutting. Certain people (deciding to show themselves to me as toxic) become unusually passionate about bestowing upon me an inferior view of myself. It’s funny because when I use this they become immensely less able to do so. But they are not looking at that. I think what they see on an unconscious energetic level is that I don’t have cords. (hardly any, good ones or bad ones) And they see this as meaning that I am open to suggestion. That’s not what it means, but I can understand how they can mistake it for such. Low amount of cords in a natural circumstance would mean I’m open to just about anyone coming in. But I’m not a natural circumstance. None of us here are. We’ve taken our fates into our own hands now. And hopefully that doesn’t mean out of God’s hands, for those of us who believe. But out of the hands of a natural world that really isn’t natural at all. A synthetic design remapped this world’s “nature”. Now we become unnatural in order to fight for what is natural.

I thought there was a mandala for this, one that stopped negative criticism from people and caused people to only see the good in you and focus on the good aspects, basically stopped all negativity in it’s tracks so you would be highly respected and loved by people. I thought it was maybe Chameleon Protection but I checked the description and that’s not what I was thinking of.
Did I imagine this? lol if that’s not a field yet, it should be…
Sapien just released a field that’s called “Torus Weaved Respect” but it’s not exactly the same as what I was thinking. Plus a mandala would be better than an audio field, I think.

Y’know, I was wondering recently if I dreamt up some shield field/mandala that bounces attacks/energies back to the sender but gently prompts them to become a little self-aware and reflective of their actions. Because sad and miserable people will just… continue trying to spread said hurt around, possibly without even realizing it, until they get to the roots of their own issues.
Maybe someone suggested this already. :Ic

I did. Lol. I called it “reflective self awareness” I think. In the creative thread. I kind of over-described it in the process for some reason talking about frequencies and what not. But Maitreya has proven herself very capable more than once of taking convoluted well meaning requests and turning them into something just right. I mean, that’s exactly what she did with Adaptive Shield. If she had made it to my exact specs I think it would have turned the user into a half sith half jedi.

The reflective shield has been suggested. There is only a subliminal reflective shield right now

Well, you phrased things far more eloquently than I could’ve done and in a short span of time, and yet it’s still a very accessible post.
I was just gonna say, ‘sometimes people suck’, but there you go, lol.
I swear I’m going to use that as a mantra. Next time I meet a vampissist. Just “Sometimes People Suck”. I believe all turmoil will cease. No sarcasm. I think it will work.

The book of Swordsdance: ‘Sometimes people suck. Everyone sucks from time to time, but while some suckage is inevitable, being human, self-awareness is a step in the right direction. The second step is the hardest as it is lifelong for most, that being to shake off old patterns and programmings as to suck a little less. Such is the most we can all strive for.’
Ok, but silliness aside, happy to help?
I knew an empath, or someone who told me they were an empath, but… I’d say maybe more like a vampire. They would overstep boundaries and actually thrived on drama. I’ve seen a lot of posts on the internet about how to protect oneself AS an empath, which is super legit, but not about those who may abuse their powers. I’ve since cut contact with this person years ago - they were pretty low-vibe and worryingly aggressive at times - though the experience has made me wonder if these shields are strong enough to keep even an empath from getting a read on you/prying. A little OT, I suppose, but we ARE talking about shields here. :'D
Ah, and credit where credit is due for your shield suggestion!

Where do you live that makes you encounter many “abusive” people?
Arent you in the US?
Carry a gun, use IPF tag to psychic scan for police and blast away.
