For the Blood, the mind is an almost physical place. There are different parts for it, but we often think of it as a layered thing. Superficial thoughts are on the outermost layer. The core of who you are is at the deepest. You have natural shields to protect your mind, but if you focus on building them up, that will help you. Let your mind wander when you're alone, and when a thought crosses your mind, place it behind a wall. Envision a barrier around it. This will help put the pieces where they belong.

If you'd like, you may look at the way I've constructed the outermost shields on my mind. Follow the thread back. I won't be offended if you'd rather not.

[While not a deeply intimate offer, it's certainly not one made lightly.]
