This trick allows you to hold Negate permanently, ignoring energy restrictions.
Negate doesn't automatically drain all your psychic energy while holding it like you would expect. It actually seems like it's on a set timer separate from the game timer, because when you reduce the game speed to at least half, your energy eventually stops draining, leaving about a sixteenth of it. When reduced to one-tenth speed, energy doesn't drain at all.
So the idea is to get the game to activate slow-mo temporarily to keep a little bit of psychic power leftover so you can hold Negate forever.
Since you can't activate Time-damp without taking a hit to your energy level, you have to utilize the game's own design for actions that slow down time. You can't do a seismic pound because that erases all your energy, and I don't think you can perform a slow-mo dodge while holding a Negate shield.
Thankfully, there are two really easy options. The weapon select menu or the ledge dodge (probably one of the most useless moves in the game) both fill all the criteria needed. Activate the shield and open the menu, or ledge dodge and activate Negate right before the game slows and you'll end up with a sliver of energy and an infinite Negate Shield.
