Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Her gift is shielding!.!.she can protect the people in her shield along with herself from other people whose abilities work inside the mind!.
Like Jane and Zafrina, they just create allusions!.!.but Bella's protection is against those, she can use her shield to protect herself and others from it!.
She can even remove the shield if she wants!.!.she can move it using her mind and stretch it to fit around certain places!.!.so that once you're in!.!.the people on the outside can't get to you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Her gift can be forced by concentration, but that will cause the backlash, as it said when she was practicing!. And it could also be triggered by anger!. In the clearing with the Volturi, there was no backlash to her shield because she let it go completely, letting it span out!. Triggered by anger for the Volturi and the need to protect her love ones and allies, especially her loved ones!.

Her shield protects her mind!. Jane's talent doesn't work on her because it only creates an illusion of pain in her head, and if no one can get into her head, besides the baby, the illusion doesn't work!. At the last part of the book, Edward was able to read her mind because she pushed the shield completely away from her mind so Edward could see inside her head!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Bella is a sheild!. She has always had a sheild around her mind, but when she becomes a vampire, she learns how to stretch her sheild to protect other people too!. The only problem is, it doesn't deflect physical attacks!. The reason Jane can't cause Bella pain is because Jane's gift gives people mental pain, not physical!. Therefore, everyone protected by Bella's sheild would also be protected from mental attacks (such as Jane's gift)Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm not sure how she uses her gift!.

Any power that includes the mind do not work on Bella!.
The pain infliction isn't physically hurting them, it makes them think they are hurt!. That's why it doesn't work on Bella!. Her mind is able to block these powers out!. Anything that will effect her physically will work though!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

bella uses her gift by consintratin very hard she even says that its hard for her to explain and it s her gift as for not being able to read her mind that is a mistery even edward only has a couple theries and hes not sure check back in twilight at the diner scene in port angeles for more info:)Www@QuestionHome@Com

her mind has a "shield" around it!. ppl cant get into her head!. for example, she cant b in pain because the pain isnt physical!. the thought is jsut put in ur head that somethin is hurting u!. and since bella doesnt let any1 in her head she cant "feel" the pain!. i hope that makes since!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

She does'nt "Use" it she just has it like Edward he can't control what he hears !. And it's a shield on her mind that's her power !. I don't think they consider her self-control a power though !.!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
