The Color Shield, or what I sometimes refer to as the Rainbow Shield, is a tool I love to share with my clients. Today, I want to introduce you to its many benefits and how it can support you and your family. This technique is designed to help with managing your energy and emotional boundaries, which is especially useful for individuals on the autism spectrum.
Understanding Auras and Boundaries
Many children on the autism spectrum have a permeable aura, leading to easily overwhelmed energy systems due to weak natural boundaries. Conversely, some may possess an almost impermeable aura, making energy exchange challenging. The Color Shield can aid both types by providing a secure mechanism for managing these interactions. By practicing this method, both children and adults can create a buffer to protect themselves from the energies of those around them.
Benefits of the Color Shield
When implemented, the Color Shield allows individuals to regulate their energy and emotions better. This tool not only benefits those directly using it but also their families, creating healthier energy exchanges and boundaries.
Creating Your Own Color Shield
This is a fun and enriching project for everyone in the family! Here’s how to create your Color Shield:
1. Gather Materials: Grab a piece of paper and green, yellow, red, orange, and blue crayons.
2. Draw Your Shield: Start with a stick figure on your paper, leaving space for coloring around it.
3. Color the Layers: Each color represents a different boundary or protection layer:
Green: Protect your inner self. Imagine it shielding your eternal spirit.
Yellow: Shields your confidence and presence on earth.
Red: Acts as a physical boundary, ideal for protection in daily interactions.
Orange: Your emotional shield. Helps regulate and protect against external emotional influences.
Blue: Supports relationships. Strengthen this layer when interacting with challenging individuals.
Expanding and Personalizing Your Shield
The Color Shield isn’t one-size-fits-all; it can be tailored. Consider adding:
White Layer: Your spiritual boundary, often viewed as encompassing all colors.
Mother Shield: Pockets for family needs, reflecting support through prayer or meditation.
Special Layers: Customize based on your daily interactions or challenging situations.
