Common Questions

• What can I expect wearing a Shield?
  Everyone has their own unique experience with the Shield. The Shield comes with an energy similar to the ocean, or old growth forest. You may notice that your energy is smoother through out the day. Or you Many people don't feel physically different because they already have healthy energy. However, they might notice that air travel is no longer as tiring as it used to be. If you read our testimonials after you have had the Shield for while, you may see how you have changed the same way someone else reported.
  
  Is there a break-in or adjustment period?
  There are times that the Shield and you need to go through a gradual break-in period. If you begin wearing a Shield and are experiencing discomfort, extreme emotions, fatigue, or fogginess, you may be going through a transitional balancing stage. Try wearing your Shield for only part of the day and increase your wearing time by a couple hours a week. By the end of a month you should be able to wear the Shield all day. This balancing period doesn’t mean the Shield is too strong or not right for you. It frequently is just the process of your energy field letting go of old emotions and making a huge shift.



• Can I share it with someone or give it to someone after I have worn it for a while?
  No, you can't. The Shield patterns to your energy field in just a matter of hours, and so if you gave it to someone it could actually be uncomfortable for them, if your frequency was quite different from theirs. You can let them hold it, or do a muscle test with it (if you are trained in doing applied kinesiological testing correctly).

• I've heard the Shield has to be recharged periodically? Do I have to send it back for this?
  No you don't have to send it back for recharging!! With constant use crystals can become fatigued, loosing some of their effectiveness. By hanging the Shield in a window for 6 hours a month in daylight (it doesn't have to be sunny), allows the energy of the sun to recharge and revitalize the crystals. By doing this your Shield will last a lifetime.



• What is the Shield made of?
  Each Shield is sterling silver with brass accents, weighing 1/2 oz. and 1 1/8" in diameter. Handcrafted in Montana, we use carefully designed standards to insure quality, durability and lasting use. We are grateful we can offer you the Shield.

Top


• How do I take care of my shield?
  If the Shield is hung in a daylight (sunny or cloudy) at least once a month in a window or outside for at least 6 hours, then it will stay fully charged forever.
  
  You cannot overcharge the Shield by putting it out in daylight for more than 6 hours. However, do not leave your Shield off of you hanging out when it is dark. Moonlight will drain it's energy. That does not happen when you are wearing your Shield at night.
  
  If you work in an extremely negative or stressful environment, you could recharge your Shield more than once a month.

• Can my child wear one?
  Yes, we find that some children, typically the younger ones, are very attracted to their parent's Shield, and try to actually grab it and put it on. If your child seems to want to wear a Shield, we suggest that you make one available to them to wear at home until they are old enough not to lose it when they are out of the house. Its also easy to safety pin the Shield inside a garment or pocket.
  
  Some parents tell me that their children hang it on a bedpost, and it stays there all the time. Sleeping with it works very well for children since it has a residual effect during the day. We have made them for 3 years old and up - and they put them on and take them off intuitively...which is why it's good to keep the Shield inside the home environment. When they are old enough to wear a Shield responsibly, then they are also at the age where they are working with computers and/or watching TV up close. Either of which indicates an important time to protect your child. Some parent's report pinning the Shield to their child's backpack or in their pants pockets with great success.



• What crystals are in the shields?
  Our Shields have all natural crystals in them. They all include quartz crystals, and then the other types vary depending on where you live. (Please see "International Shields" which explains why this is the case).We don't give out exact formulas as to what is in each shield since this is proprietary information. We assure you that all the crystals are living, natural crystals, of the finest quality available- producing the clearest, strongest subtle energy support for you.

• I feel something moving inside my shield, is that ok?
  Inside the metal of your Shield is the crystal matrix. The crystals are securely set into a waterproof, shock proof holding material that keeps them safe even if you drop your shield. We usually put a dab of this holding material on the top of the matrix so it will push up against the dome of the shield, thus holding the matrix still. Occasionally it will rub away, and the matrix will be able to move a tiny bit inside the shield. Since it only moves a tiny amount, it does not affect the performance since all the crystals are still securely in place.

• What if I don't want to have to depend on an outside force to protect me? Shouldn't I be able to do this myself?
  
  While each person has tremendous untapped potential to protect themselves without a Shield, why not take advantage of a natural product that will protect you from unnatural energies. If you had a choice between flying between San Francisco and New York, or walking, most people would use the technology of airplane, instead of taking months to walk! It can be thought of as a modern convenience just the way we think of phones and cars. They make our lives easier.



• Can the Shield get depleted?
  The Shield can get depleted when you are in a high stress situation, but it has a self-charging mechanism up to a point. If you have had your Shield for more than a year and have not been following the monthly schedule, and you are wondering if it needs to be recharged, you probably are intuitively picking up that it's time for a "tune-up". First try hanging it in sunlight for a couple days and see if that makes a difference. If it doesn't, we suggest that you send it in for recharging. You can also have someone do the muscle testing with you to see if the Shield is working to capacity. To muscle test refer to the procedure shown in the "Shield Test/Research" section of this web site. For the testing you first do a pretest, then retest by either: imagining a stressful situation or holding up a battery operated watch or cell phone and retesting. Finally hold the Shield and retest again. If you test weak even with the Shield, it's time for revitalization. Another note if the Shield is not seeming to work, you might consider a stronger model Shield.

Design Issues. Could you design a Shield with another loop so I could wear it sideways instead of hanging?

The 5 tabs correspond to your 2 arms, 2 legs and head, ie, the anatomical position as drawn by daVinci. Adding an additional loop could affect the proper functioning of the shield. The function is the key part for you and everyone else. If you can cope with the way it's set up now, it would be best for another reason. May I assume that you wear it around your neck currently? If so, then the Shield creates an 360 degree protective energy pattern based on where you typically wear it. It creates a center point and then surrounds you with the protective energy. It would adapt differently if you wore it in a pocket, and again, it would change if you turned it sideways. It will work in all these posistions, but it's easiest if you pick one position and use it most of the time. Occasionally I wear my in a pocket, and still feel completlely protected, but the Shield does have to do some energy adjusting when it's worn in the pocket. I wouldn't really recommend the change you are making just in terms of effectiveness. Top

• What are the differences among the various shields?
  For more information on the differences go to How to Choose a Shield
  
  • Satin Brass Tab- Our basic Shield at very modest prices provides a lifetime of substantial protection for most people. It strengthens and balances your energy, including your chakras as well as deflecting negative energy, such as EMF or negative emotional energy.
  
  
  • Gold Tab, all Gold & Diamond Shields. Wearing an 14K Gold or Diamond Shield over the excellent silver shields provides support in the emotional and spiritual aspects of the energy field. These Shields are simply at a higher energetic vibration We are confident you will find owning and sharing these will add an entirely new, positive dimension for you.
    • 14K Gold Tab Shield- The silver Shield with 14k gold tabs more effectively than brass spreads out the energy that is being generated by the crystal matrix. The placement of the 5 gold tabs is critical in performing this "expansion" of the energy. This Shield is 15-20% stronger than the brass tab model. It is recommended for people who are exposed to constant emf via a cell phone or computer. It is also hightly recommended for people senstive to energy, especially emotional energy. The gold tab is a favorite of many computer programmers, sales people, therapists, energy and body workers, etc.
    
    
    • All 14K Gold Shield - When you strive for high performance or life demands a lot of you, then simply put, you'll want to go for the gold. The gold offers a finer, stronger translation of the crystal matrix. The wearer enjoys at least 50% more balancing and strengthening than the standard Shield. Many people wearing an all-gold Shield notice a wonderful opening, strengthening and balancing in the heart chakra. We recommend it to anyone who can make this investment. The return to the wearer is immense and immeasurable.
    
    
    • All 14K Gold, Diamond Shield This is the ultimate in support and protection. An area where this beauty particularly sparkles beyond the other very potent Shields is in the area of supercharging a person's clarity, focus, knowing and sense of connected ness. For those who want the absolute in performance and protection, for those who want to clarify and increase the rate of accomplishing their life's purpose the Diamond Shield will support you in achieving your destiny.

• Do I have to wear it all the time?
  No, we suggest you use your intuition about how much to use the Shield. Most people wear it all the time either as a pendant or in their pocket. Some women will pin it to an under garmet so it is not showing, but still close to their hearts. Others use their Shields only during the day or in certain circumstances like when working with computers, when feeling especially stressed and/or being around people, etc.
• Is the Shield at the earth's frequency? Does the energy of the Shield shift as the earth's frequency changes?
  The earth's frequency, sometimes called the Schumann frequency, IS increasing because the consciousness of the inhabitants is increasing. As the consciousness of the people goes up, the consciousness of the planet goes up. A key point to note is that many people assume that the shield is always at the earth frequency, and that, if it changes, then the shield isn't vibrating fast enough. However, the shield is vibrating at the highest frequency available and positive on this planet. This means that sometimes it's actually vibrating faster than the earth's frequency and sometimes they are the same. It fluctuates a lot. But it's not that the shield is catching up with the earth's. It's actually the other way around.
  
  Other products on the market today are made of computer chips and other artificial materials, and as such, are fixed in their frequency. The Shield's crystals are alive, and able to adapt with the changes in the people and the planet. These crystals, as part of the earth, are in complete harmony with the planet, and as the planet rises, they rise. By wearing a Shield, the person is assisted in staying healthy, balanced, strong and in harmony with the current vibration of the planet.

• Can I wear the Shield with other energy devices, magnets, crystals and/or jewelry?
  Yes, you can. The Shield will actually balance other crystals, jewelry, magnets or other energy devices that are worn on the body.



• Can the Shield be engraved?
  Yes, within limits. We have are specific guidelines to make sure the design doesn't interfere with the energy of the Shield. There are certain designs, which will skew and ruin the effectiveness of the Shield. To be sure, please call and discuss it with us or mail in a copy of the design.

• What will I feel wearing a Shield. What if I did feel something, but now I don't?
  The energy of the Shield is very similar to the ocean or a old growth forest. However, not everyone feels a noticeable difference wearing the Shield. If you are already a balanced person, you may not notice a physical sensation change. Rather, you will find that your life just goes more smoothly, or you are less triggered by people or situations that triggered you before.
  
  Our research has shown that even when you don't feel anything, there is a measurable difference in how the organs are functioning, the overall strength and balance of the body. How many of us are aware of the subtle changes in our bodies? Usually we only notice them when we become ill.
  
  The Shield is a subtle energy device and for some the changes are dramatic, for others they can be very subtle and hard to pin point. Many people simply feel things are a little easier and less stressful.
  
  Just to make it easy, the company has a 90 day guarantee. You buy a Shield, and if for any reason you are dissatisfied, return the Shield within 90 days and you get your money back. We do this because we know what a difference the Shield can make and we want to give you a chance to find out for yourself.



• "What if I feel something initially, but then I don't feel anything?
  Some people don't feel a difference any longer and wonder if perhaps their Shield isn't working. This is because they are so used to the energy of the Shield. Often when they first start wearing it during the initial balancing process they feel a lot of energy, but after a while they don't feel as much. This doesn't mean the Shield isn't working, it simply means that new changes are no longer happening. For many people, if they were to quit wearing it for a time, they would then notice the difference in how they feel.

• Can the Shield "fix or lock" my energy at one frequency?
  No, the Shield contains not just one crystal, but a specific configuration of crystals, which causes the Shield to behave differently than a single crystal. The Shield comes at a balanced frequency band. When you first put on a Shield, your frequency will be somewhere within that band. The Shield will find your specific frequency within 12 hours.
  
  Here's an analogy for this. When you put two tuning forks together which are within a half a note of each other, they will tune to the same note within a short period of time. The Shield will always tune to your energy, and then help balance and strengthen it, even as you change and grow over the years. It NEVER fixes or locks your frequency.



• What might it mean if I got a headache or felt blah, spaced out, dizzy or noticed some "negative" symptom wearing the Shield?
  The Shield is rebalancing your energy field a too quickly. To slow down the process decrease your wearing time until it doesn't feel this way. If these symptoms do not change, please call our technical information department:1-866-444-0015 (outside USA +1-541-535-8880) or
  
  This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it We very much want to talk with you if this happens because you may need a different type of shield.

• What are"International Shields"?
  Different regions of the world have different energy needs. We've developed Shields to specifically meet the needs of each area. If you are travelling or living in an area outside of North America (i.e., USA, Canada or Mexico) for less than a year, your regular (North American) Shield is fine, but if you are going to another continent for over a year then we recommend getting one designed for that region.



• Will a Shield absorb negative energy?
  No. When a person buys a single crystal, it comes at one frequency and will absorb energy. Then the single crystal has to be cleansed with sea water or the sun. When you are wearing the Shield, it is not absorbing any energy. When it is on you, it is in the "protect and balance" mode, balancing and strengthening your energy field, and deflecting any energy not compatible with you. Therefore, it isn't ever going to absorb negative energy. When you take if off your body, the Shield is now on "input" and will accept the recharge, the way a battery also needs recharging. This is accomplished when you hang it you hang it in a window or outside during 6 hours of daylight (rain or shine). See above for more information on recharging.



• If I'd like to get one for my partner, but they won't wear jewelry, is there any other option?
  They can simply carry the Shield in a pocket. The ideal location for the Shield is over the heart. It works easiest and most efficiently there. But it is still doing its job while in the pocket.
  
  They can put it on the night stand next to their side of the bed, and, as long as it is within three feet of them, it is in their energy field and balancing and strengthening and protecting them as they sleep.

• Can the Shield be worn during pregnancy?
  
  Yes because the Shield strengthens a person's entire energy field. This means that it is excellent to wear the Shield during pregnancy. Our acupuncture research showed that the immune system, and all body organs and systems were strengthened by wearing the Shield. During pregnancy, a woman may need extra strength and a better balanced energy field for the additional demands that are placed upon her. Because the fetus and Mother are cohabiting the same body, the Shield will be balancing the fetus as well.

• How do I get my Shield recharged if I don't do the monthly process?
  If you want us to revitalized the Shield in a special crystal room, and then polished, you may send it to us. Please check our current pricing for this service by clicking on our RECHARGE web page.
  
  Remember, if the Shield is hung in daylight (i.e., sunny or cloudy) at least once a month for at least 6 hours, then it will stay fully charged, forever! Charging it during daylight only for several days won't hurt it because it can't get "overcharged". If you leave it out over night, then 3 days of recharging, during day light hours only, will bring it fully back.
  
  As for International Shields, please Do Not return for recharging unless you wish to cover the usually high shipping charges and complicated customs procedures!



• Will the Shild protect my child in front of the school computers
  The basic silver with brass tabs will protect your child 99% from the emf from computers in the schools. If s/he uses a cell phone, we also recommend placing a BioPro Cell Chip on their phone.
  1. When you wear a Shield, you can imagine that you are in a cocoon of energy that has blended with your own, strengthening, and stabilizing your own vibration .Thus, you less affected by any energy which is not a vibrational match with your own.
  2. Additionally, at the edge of this "cocoon", the Shield creates a vortex of energy that serves as a "gatekeeper". Any energy not compatible with you, is spun around you. Many people find that, when wearing a Shield, it is easier for them to establish healthy boundaries with regards to other people and the demands that are placed on them.

  3. Can I share it with someone or give it to someone after I have worn it for a while?
     No. The Shield patterns to your energy field in just a matter of hours. You can let them hold it, or do a muscle test on them with the Shield to to see if the Shield will help them. If you wish to give your old Shield to someone you can bring it back to "neutal positive" energy by rechargingit for 6 days in a row.

  4. Can I/should I wear in while showering or bathing?
     Yes, you can! The only time we suggest you take it off is if you are going into a chlorinated swimming pool, since chlorine tarnishes sterling silver quite rapidly. Tarnishing doesn't affect the performance of the Shield, but naturally, it looks nicer when it's not tarnished.
  5. How does the Shield work to help me with stress?
     By reinforcing your own naturally healthy and strong energies, you are less susceptible to outside disturbances. When a person is tired, it takes much less "aggravation" to produce a stress reaction. The Shield helps to strengthen and balance your energies, allowing you to handle difficult situations and people more easily. It also deflects unhealthy energies from other people(depression, anger, etc.) that normally your energy field must deflect. The Shield deflects more than 90% of this unhealthy energy.
     
     Stress testing has shown that people remain physically strong even when imagining a stressful situation. For more comments please see Shield Testimonials.
  
  
  
  6. Is it waterproof?
     Yes it is; however, we do not recommend wearing it in a chlorinated hot tub or swimming pool because sterling silver will tarnish much more quickly when exposed to enough chlorine. Shower, bath, lake, river or ocean water is fine.
  
  
  
  7. Can the Shield weaken your over time as it becomes used to the shielding and thus does not have to work to protect itself?
     The irony of this claim is that the Shield actually does the reverse of weakening the body over time. When someone puts on a shield, it assists their energy field in becoming more balanced, and having more strength, or "chi". Over time, it reinforces this pattern of energy balance and strength. Then if a person takes off the shield, their energy field stays at the new level of balance and strength.
     
     Most people wear the Shield for months, and then find they are ready to take it off for a while...maybe a weekend, or a month, or even a year. All this means is that their energy field has built up a pattern of strength so that is deflecting negative energy all on it's own.
     
     After a while, most people prefer to put the Shield back on for one of 2 reasons. First, more transponders, or cell towers have gone up in their area, and the energy bombarding is more, or second, their body is ready for the support of the Shield again. Saying the Shield weakens the system would be the equivalent of saying that supplements weaken the system. No, they both support the body, and make it stronger.
     
     AS for evidence, we can refer you to ourresearch page as well as the testimonials of people who have worn the shield for years and love how they feel wearing it.

  8. Do they wear out?
     Not if you recharge them regularly. To recharge the Shield yourself and keep it working at peak efficiency, hang it in daylight, either sunny or cloudy, for at least 6 hours a month. Day light through a window is fine, but outside is even better! This recharging cannot be done while wearing the Shield in the sun. It needs to be off your body hanging free so there is space around it. This will re-energize the crystals in the Shield. The crystals in the Shield are constantly working and begin to get fatigued. Physicists have been recharging crystals through various methods for years, but we know that sunlight will work perfectly for the Shield.
