... please go read the 'shielding' page here. Most of the examples there are shields that you set in place and leave alone, many of which can self-activate when you are attacked.

Most of these shields also respond to your own emotions, so yes, it can strengthen itself when you are scared, even if your conscious mind goes completely blank.

I don't doubt that your idea would work in the right situation, in fact it would likely work perfectly against my favorite type of shield, which does require active concentration. The only way to have experience is to have an idea and play around with it. A little experience doesn't automatically trump someone else's idea, and I oppologize if I offended you, it was not my intent. I'm just trying to express my thoughts and opinions in a way that everyone can understand.
