Level 1: One-on-One The practitioner can block A) their emotions and thoughts from others; B) the mental intrusions of one individual.

Once this practitioner is proficient at this skill, the ability to shield their mind against one individual is generally passive and the practitioner won't have to conciously work to maintain it. A practitioner's heath will affect this ability - if the practitioner is exhausted, over worked, and/or ill, the shield will be weak and can be overcome. |

At first, new learners must concentrate to maintain this shield against a group. Once this practitioner is proficient at this skill, the ability to shield their mind against a group is generally passive and the practitioner won't have to conciously work to maintain it. A practitioner's heath will affect this ability - if the practitioner is exhausted, over worked, and/or ill, the shield will be weak and can be overcome.. |
