This is two separate questions, I think. You make a shield or energy bubble to protect yourself from being attacked/harmed/hurt. An Empath however keeps reaching out and touching others' energies. A shield doesn't protect you from that. What you can do is learn to control that touch so it happens when you want it to and to the degree you want it to. Also you can learn to cleanse so unwanted/superfluous energy gets grounded away. But others in this thread have said so already.
