Wisdom in Daily Life
Spirituality is not all about communing with holy beings, or having the perfect guru or teacher. It is about seeking deep connections with reality and making for a better world, for yourself and all around you.
Regardless of the belief we advertise most of us have the same needs. We eat, sleep, have friends, and many of us have some kind of job. Put all of these together and we have more than enough challenge in life.
We would like to hear about how you cope and bring a lot of the ideas we explore here into your life. And there is the added bonus of all of us getting to know each other as people with all of our foibles, desires (don't deny that you have those!) and all the other interesting snippets of daily life.

I cannot give you an iron-clad answer without more information, but here's my opinion - in general.
I would be skeptical of such claims, not because it's not possible. Shielding is probably very possible. It's just that, IMO, the probability that this is just a "sound good" thing that basically doesn't work is rather high.
That being said, I have a little black dot sort of thing that adheres to the back of my cell phone. My sister gave it to me just for this purpose. It doesn't hurt anything and is not really in the way, and was not expensive. So... I put it on my phone. Does it work? I haven't a clue!
She also gave me a pendent to wear, shaped like a scallop shell, but looks like it's made of some kind of clear plastic resin with bits of sea shells and sparkly things inside it, which I assume are what shields me from the "evil rays" of my computer. I wear it sometimes, sometimes not. It might work, might not, but it was not expensive and is quite harmless, so what is the harm in using it sometimes? None that I can see.
The harm is in spending too much money for such as this, and believing the advertising categorically without any sound scientific independent research or investigation on your part. Well, that's my opinion, anyway.
