PSYCHIC SELF DEFENCE

I have been asked many times about the ethics of providing the information contained within this book, quite simply because it can be used equally as effectively for the purpose of psychic attack as it can for psychic defense. My answer is always the same: The laws of Karma, Cause and Effect and Attraction ALWAYS, and over time, ensure that motive and intent are met with their equal force, and in no more or less than equal measure. Indeed, it is my experience, both personally and professionally, and through observation over many years, that Karma is the most non-judgmental, and by default therefore, in terms of human perception, the kindest AND yet the most ruthless deliverer of natural justice, especially where esoteric knowledge and practices are concerned. Regardless of where we stand in this universally brief moment of human incarnation, Karma lets no stone of natural justice lay unturned, nor does it forget the motive and measure of all human thinking, emotions and behaviour. Indeed it is karma that forms the very basis for the life review upon death (See Understanding Karma by Simon c. Godwin and Elizabeth Rose Howard), and so I have no doubt that all motives and intentions within the context of this and all subject, shall be met with their just rewards. To know psychic protection, indeed, the very act of studying it is, by implication, an acknowledgement of right and wrong, good and bad, justice and injustice, positive and negative, duality, or whatever you wish to call it. It is in knowing the difference that personal responsibility for such knowledge comes into play, for whilst karma may be more forgiving of ignorance, it is utterly unforgiving of those who know better and do wrong with conscious motives and intents, often acting with disregard for goodness, honour, integrity, truth, and ultimately the greater good of all concerned. Know too that ALL unaccomplished psychic attack revisits the attacker many times more than the original force with which it was imbued, AND Karma can work in the current incarnation just as effectively as it does from one life to the next.

INTRODUCTION

Psychic protection is a serious area of esoteric and occult study. It is not something to be taken lightly, entered into unnecessarily, or dabbled with out of intellectual curiosity.

The subject of psychic self-defense, or what many people call psychic protection, is vast and it is relevant to all areas of spiritual, esoteric, occult or alternative practices at one level or another. There are of course many trains of thought around this subject, including new age concepts and ideas in which some people seem to believe, and even advocate to others, that merely thinking of love and light is in an of itself its own protection. I do not subscribe to this view, and I consider it to be naïve and irresponsible at best.

It is not my place to judge others and their beliefs, and I can only speak from my own experience, and that of others whom I know in this field of endeavor. I would suggest that, whilst believing may indeed be seeing for some people, this subject holds more than mere superstition or misguided beliefs in simplistic concepts like good and evil. Indeed, it is one that exists within and between all extremes of shape, size, and colour, encompassing the entire spectrum of energies, frequencies and forces that exist on all levels and planes of consciousness. It is also the case that many less harmfully motivated frequencies and energies can be unintentionally noxious to the human consciousness, organism and energetic state, and no amount of love and light alone will provide protection against them. Try sending those ideals out as you expose yourself to a microwave or even an ultraviolet light and see what happens over time. Whilst it may be true of the Hormesis affect that all frequencies are harmless, harmful and even beneficial in the appropriately matching quantities (even radiation has been shown to be beneficial in certain doses and at certain levels) potentially toxic or harmful energies and frequencies seem frustratingly unaware of the principle of love and light it would seem. Whilst it is not my intention to frighten, nor to create unnecessary anxiety within you, the facts do speak for themselves, with both historic and current events demonstrating only too clearly the potential for the unseen world of universal consciousness to impact the physical with resounding effect. It is however, also true, that when we apply common sense, suspend our egos for just one moment, and acknowledge our limitations, the need for any form of psychic defense diminishes considerably, for as with electricity, the power goes only where it is directed, until someone decides to put their finger into the socket and invite its energy into their life. Let us be in no doubt that all spiritual, esoteric, occult and alternative practices and activities do, to a lesser or greater degree, act as a conduit for psychic forces and subtle frequencies. When practiced with disregard for spiritual law and protection protocols, these activities can become a magnet for less balanced and intrusive frequencies in one form or another. My warning, therefore, is simple:

Failure to practice discernment, show respect and due caution for all frequencies and energies invites unwanted attention and potentially uncomfortable experiences and outcomes that can vary from unnoticeable, through mild discomfort and inconvenient, right up to headaches, anxiety, dis-ease, ill health, serious debilitation and even death in some cases. “ There are more things to Heaven and Earth than man has ever dreamed of,” (Shakespeare) and no amount of discrediting, dismissing or debunking theosophy, the occult and esotericism will ever change that. Our ancestors knew this of course, including great scientists and intellectuals, politicians, authors, artists, musicians and others. You may be interested to read just some of the names, many of whom you will almost certainly know, respect and even consider to have been intelligent, objective and credible human beings and sources of great inspiration. 

BUT IS IT REAL?

That is a good question, and the answer depends upon your own particular frame of reference AND experiences in this area of human activity and experience. It also depends upon what one means by ‘reality’, for the world of inner consciousness knowing is no less valid in terms of human experience than the outer and more researchable one of science. Indeed, there is the perfectly reasonable argument that Esotericism IS the science of consciousness.

It is important to understand that we (human beings) are made up of three basic component parts:

1.

What we are genetically

2.

What we learn, and

3. What we are spiritually, or in terms of our beliefs, about life, ourselves, the universe, and our place within it.

In this regard, our entire experience of consciousness is more subjective than anything else, with each of us, through the neuro nets and synapses of neurological activity, forming our own totally unique and personal map of consciousness; each with its own slant on reality through generalization, deletion and distortion of events, feelings, knowledge and experience. It is through this unique and special relationship with consciousness that we have both the free will and the right to determine our own meaning of life and the experiences that our beliefs, values and individual thought processes bring forth.

Regardless of scientific advances in knowledge and so called empirical evidence regarding the physical environment in which we experience consciousness, and the physical makeup of our human form, there remains absolutely no concrete evidence against the concept of spirituality. Unexplained intuitive and or spiritual experiences abound throughout the entire world, and they have done since the earliest records, affecting every corner of humanity and every race, including highly respected historical figures like Abraham Lincoln, Einstein, Vice President Henry Wallace and countless more.

And, even today, in this world of psychology, psychoanalysis and advanced neurology, very little is known about the human brain outside of its physical makeup, basic behavior and functions. And of consciousness, we know virtually nothing at all, except that we experience it. Indeed, quantum physics now tells us that the only thing that this science knows for sure is that they don’t know anything about human consciousness at all, with these new scientists now telling is something very important:

‘ Science has prodded, probed, dissected, magnified and analysed the human body doe to its smallest cells. It has now compiled a comprehensive library of the human genome, and with all of that research and the most able scientific brains of our time, they cannot find ‘you’ and ‘me’, the conscious person anywhere inside the human body! They can find the conduits and mechanisms through which we experience consciousness, but they cannot find ‘us’ in there anywhere!’

So where are we? What and who is this ‘ultimate observer’, and how does it all work? The reality for me personally, is that esoteric and occult doctrine provides the only credible, logical and coherent answers. That is my position of choice,

and whilst there will be those who disagree, my own experiences inform me that whether psychic experiences are driven by belief and created unconsciously or not, it consists of experiences of a greater and more subtle reality, those experiences exist within my own unique internal world of consciousness no less than the equally un-provable religious beliefs of billions of people worldwide, including world leaders like Nelson Mandela, Bill Clinton, George Bush and others, as well as famous artists, authors, scientist and doctors. In this it would seem, science has us all branded as living outside of its own limited frame of physical, and therefore easily quantifiable ‘reality’. Or is that an illusion too?

Frankly, if my chosen belief system, and that of millions of others around the world is shared by the likes Einstein, Carl Jung and Thomas Edison, then we are in pretty good company aren’t we?

WHAT IS PSYCHIC PROTECTION?

Psychic protection is without a doubt probably the most misunderstood subject in the entire arena of psychic and spirit work today. For this reason, and because of many new age pseudo-spiritual beliefs and ideas, this subject is often underplayed, certainly grossly misunderstood, and ignored within the context of subtle energies and their influences over the human energy field, organism and overall well-being. In addition, what little information and concepts are available, tend to be both ineffective, inadequate and often misguided, leaving psychic and spirit workers at best prey to the most inaccurate and misleading spiritual information, and at worst (though fortunately rare) open to serious psychic attack from all manner of energies and frequencies that originate from living energies, both seen and unseen.

Before we look at psychic attack it would probably pay us to understand what ‘psychic’ actually means, and my use of it throughout this book. For our purposes, and I would suggest for all other reasonable purposes relating to the word psychic, it is: A process or phenomena that, inexplicable by natural laws, relates to the soul or mind. It is a process that appears to be (and in my experience, is) able to be sensed or perceived by the human organism. It is in this context that such forces or energies are therefore, defined as relating to the soul or mind, which means that these experiences operate on all levels and planes of human consciousness or perception. That being the case, it is not just the mind of the living that we should consider as being the sole source of psychic attack, for any energy with perceptive or conscious capabilities is capable of manifesting such attacks consciously. Indeed, at a serious spiritual level, any energy that exists, subtle or otherwise has the ability, by nature of attraction and connectedness, to influence the mind of man through the etheric field. Most people understand the term psychic attack to originate solely from human sources in the form of Voodoo, black magic, dark cults and other often

misunderstood practices. Whilst this is partially accurate, for the most part, unless you have been unfortunate enough to tangle with such people in a negative sense, it is more common for psychic attack to come from within ones own sphere or circle of acquaintances or from ones own involvement in and contact with subtle energies. This can occur through any one of a number of most unexpected activities, including being in or around such energies in public places that attract them. We shall discuss this in more detail later in this book. Psychic protection however, and contrary to popular belief, is not just a necessary skill for those with an interest in the occult, for any energy is capable of influencing and affecting the human energy field, and by default, the human organism. I consider Psychic protection in its widest sense to be the process of protecting one’s self from such unwanted influences, in all spheres of human activity.

GAINING SOME PERSPECTIVE

It is important to understand that psychic protection IS NOT always about protecting yourself from the dark arts and malevolent forces, nor indeed from consciously motivated negative influences. It is also about protecting the human energy field from all forces that are not (consciously or otherwise) in harmony with it. These non-consciously manifested energies include, by way of example, but not exclusively:  Various energies picked up through dowsing and other psychic and alternative spiritual practices 

Emotionally motivated energies



Psychic Links



Attachments



Earth energies



Electromagnetic energies



Thought-forms



Residual links picked up during altered states

I see psychic protection as a holistic approach or preventative process that enables us to become more aware of, and to protect ourselves from, all of the many energies and frequencies that would otherwise be harmful to us on any one or more levels and planes of our being. These are forces that can, and do, impact our lives so subtly, and yet progressively malevolently, as to go unnoticed and unacknowledged by most people. They are also frequently underplayed and even invalidated by some who should know better, believing that the mere act of being ‘spiritual’ protects them, whilst others prefer to believe that darkness does not exist in a world that provides ample evidence to the contrary. Whilst each of us, through free will, is entitled and indeed obliged to seek our own truth, to ignore psychic protection is akin to an electrician refusing to acknowledge the positive and negative poles of electricity, and the need for everything to be earthed. Duality is indeed an indisputable natural universal law. Just as there is light, so too exists dark and a variety of shades in between, there also exists a spectrum of frequencies and energies that, by the very nature of polarity and resonance, can be harmonious, neutral and harmful to the human form and its various etheric bodies.

ABOUT PSYCHICS, SPIRITUALITY AND THE MYTHS OF PROTECTION

There seems to be a belief amongst many people that spiritual is in some way associated with and akin to honesty, integrity, truth, honour, mutual respect and appreciation for the divine light within all beings. Where this misconception came from I have no idea, but it exists nonetheless, and often to the serious disappointment and disillusionment of seekers the world over. Spiritual groups really are no different to any other formal group of individuals, and there exists within them equal proportions of greed, jealousy, selfishness, dishonor, deceit and many and varied personal agendas. Indeed the propensity for territorialism, judgment of difference is quite staggering when measured against the frame of reference of assumed spiritual values and beliefs. From a protection perspective, therefore, it would be wise never to assume that being with or within a group of self-professed spiritual people provides you any more protection than being anywhere else. Indeed, the very act of some groups whose activities require you to meditate or achieve a relaxed state of consciousness can and do leave you open to potential psychic attack in one form or another.

Beware too, those who would encourage communication with early gods, goddesses or entities that ancient and less discerning civilizations (Polytheistic religions) believed in and made offerings to. Also, beware of any deities that display human characteristics, like anger for example. These entities, which are sometimes nothing more than powerful thought-forms, do not come from the higher realms, merely different ones to our own (usually lower astral), and their association can bring no higher form of protection.

There is only one system of hierarchy in a spiritual, spiritualist, esoteric and theosophical sense, and such a system works unswervingly, regardless of personal belief or cult philosophies. Indeed, many of the entities recommended by new age spiritualists come from witchcraft, which, whilst being a perfectly valid form of energetic sources, exists for more earthy reasons and practices that work within the matrix of the first two levels and planes of consciousness.

Beware too any frequency that requires payment, personal sacrifice or displays anger, judgment or criticism. Such frequencies are always working below the threshold to which true spirituality aspires, and are never high enough to offer true higher wisdom and enlightenment. It is always wise to avoid the trap of assuming that all new information given to you is more than that, simply new information. The new and seemingly enlightening is not always higher wisdom, merely, and more often than not, simply something given to you for effect or lower motives. This is especially true when the information is of a personal nature, flattering, complimentary, about your personal history and knowledge (for reinforcement), or in any way advisory or recommended as to be followed. Higher frequencies never give advice, nor will they ever say or do anything that can in any way affect free will. And, higher frequencies, never, ever order you around or do anything to make you feel any negative feeling or emotion whatsoever. So, the most illuminating litmus test for discerning entities, spirits, frequencies, or whatever else you prefer to call them, is your own feelings which should be neither good not bad, but calmly unattached, balanced, devoid of emotion and comfortable at all times. The moment that changes, stop what you are doing, close down your session, ground yourself and check your protection.

With regard to psychics, clairvoyants and channelers, it is not my place, nor indeed my intention to question their motives, skills or abilities. That is up to you alone, and it will be based entirely upon your level of discernment, which, as with all decisions, comes from the information that you have available to you in terms of your knowledge and personal experience of the subject. What I will say, however, is that regardless of their skill or ability, many natural psychics, mediums and channelers are prone to the propensity of distortion of what they see, hear or pick up from the unseen world. This is simply because they have always done what they do, often without question, and few have any formal,

discerning and extensive training in esoteric and theosophical studies, which means that whilst the may see, hear or feel the inhabitants of the unseen world, they may lack the knowledge as to where precisely these spirits lie within the spiritual terrain. By way of example, talking to deceased aunty Nin is one thing, but knowing that she has not passed on and is stuck in the astral is quite another. Likewise, the channeler who connects with an entity who calls himself Archangel Michael and accepts the information unquestioningly (as most new age channelers seem to – hence the total rubbish that they channel) is nothing more than a well intentioned, but self-deluded fraud. It is not unlike being operated on by a natural born surgeon who has no formal training in anatomy and biology. He may be able to feel, see or hear the heart somewhere in the body, but has no idea where or how it relates to, and is interdependent with, the rest of the organism. That is why personal recommendation is always best! So, before participating in any ‘spiritual’, ‘new age’ or ‘alternative’ activity, you might like to check them out first. The challenge however, in many spiritual pursuits, is that it is often a case of the one eyed man leading the blind, and references can mean very little, and will always be subjective. A great reference for this sort of information can be found in Spirit Communication – Volume 1 by Hilarion and Elizabeth Rose Howard, available from DodoPublishing.com.

DISCERNMENT

Any discussion about spiritual matters would be seriously remiss not to include a few words about discernment, which, quite simply is the art of knowing the difference. In spiritual terms, discernment means knowing the difference between genuine information and all the rest, and this in itself is more than a lifetime’s pursuit because discernment requires objectivity in the face of what is primarily a highly subjective area of human experience. Discernment is in fact, the ultimate form of first guard in any protocol of psychic protection.

Because of the vastly complex nature of human consciousness, learning and perception, let alone language, context, content and a range of other equally important factors, our best guesses usually come from solid information in the

form of established knowledge (not assumed societal of socially conditioned beliefs) and from personal experience. In this regard, the knowledge can only be gained from sources that are firmly rooted within the subject matter itself, that have a long established history of acceptance by the spiritual community over many generations, which is why I am always keen to refer to and where possible to quote occult, esoteric and theosophical doctrine. It is almost impossible for any of us to make an informed decision relating to the world of subtle energies beyond our own, without some understanding of its terrain, its inhabitants and the lay of that landscape; a map of the territory. Personally, and this is just my own personal preference, I never trust the spiritual judgment, opinions or beliefs of anyone who has no such knowledge, especially in matters of psychic defense. To do so would be akin to trusting a civilian to inform me about military strategies and tactics, and why would I do that, other than for idle curiosity, gossip or some momentarily distractively entertaining entertainment?

My point here is simply this:

All protection is a good as its weakest link, and the first link in the chain is always discernment

EVERYONE HAS SOME NATURAL PROTECTION

From a physical perspective we are all protected from everyday situations, circumstances and environments by the outer layer of our physical body which our skin, and our hair of course. From a psychic or subtle energy perspective, we have another layer that provides protection from what could be considered as ‘normal’ or ‘reasonable levels’ of energetic interference. This protective barrier consists of a subtle energy body that extends beyond the physical one, and it is called the etheric body. We shall discuss this further later in this book. In addition to the etheric body, we have a number of subtle energy bodies that form the link between the various levels and planes of consciousness. These

bodies interact with everything that surrounds us, including other living beings. An effect upon any one of these subtle energy bodies will affect us at a very subtly level and the greater the impact or interference, the greater the effect over time. The concept of invisible and instant communication between two bodies is one of the most mind boggling phenomena of quantum physics, in which scientists have discovered that two particles that have become entangles (connected in some way) will always mirror each other properties. They call it entanglement, which goes against all physical understanding because such mirroring/connection and subtle communication exists regardless of the distance between the two particles. What really has scientists scratching their heads, apart from this phenomena existing in the first place, is that if such hidden signals can pass between two separate particles, such communication would have to travel at 10,000 times the speed of light. Unable to explain, nor accept this, science prefers to believe that a change on one photon influences the other instantly. Is there any difference? Because subtle energy bodies operate outside of the normal constraints of the physical, their reach goes beyond the physical norms, which means that they are not restricted in their sensitivity by physical boundaries, as it would seem occurs between entangled particles. In this regard, and by way of example, we do not even have to be in the same building as someone else to be affected by them, although most people are not sufficiently ‘sensitive’ to notice such affects at a conscious level of knowing. Collectively, these subtle energy bodies are known as the Aura, and some more ‘sensitive’ individuals are able to see, or more accurately perceive and decode, these impressions into a visual image. Any injury to the physical body, including stress and shock, can damage the auric field by creating tears or breaks within it. Such affects can also be caused by psychic attack, geopathic stress and other electromagnetic interferences.

THE SEVEN LEVELS AND PLANES OF CONSCIOUSNESS

THE SUBTLE ENERGY LANDSCAPE

The seven levels and planes are the layers of consciousness that unfold beyond the physical, or dense material world that we experience through our more human perceptions, and mental or perceptual consciousness. For example, you may already have heard of The Astral, and this is just one of those seven levels and planes. Contrary to popular misconception, the seven levels and planes are not separate as many people might expect. They operate within the context of the whole, or the All That Is, and occupy the same position within space or what we call the cosmos, although such terms, by default of their daily use do tend to limit both the concept and one’s appreciation of its true meaning and significance. Therefore, to talk about souls passing between these levels and planes is more metaphorical than actual, because within each soul lies a dormant resonance with each of the first 3 planes, that when activated, allow entry to them. To pass between the realms is, in effect, metaphorical because to do so merely means to enter a different state of consciousness or focus of consciousness. This changed state is also in effect the key to the door entry system that allows access. Each of these planes or bodies, respond only to like vibrations. It is for this reason that using only the physical senses of sight, touch, taste, sound and smell keep us blind to the other realms of possibility both by design and by resonant frequency.

In context with the interconnectedness of the universe, the seven planes constitute all that is, and are like a whole body, separate only in the sense that the individual parts perform different functions. Perhaps a good metaphor would be to describe them as the arms, legs, head and shoulders of the body of the eternal mind. It is important to understand that each plane consists of a range of frequencies that are bound together with a cosmic whole. They are not separate as many people often think. Each can penetrate the level below itself, but they do not generally penetrate beyond. The exceptions are the 6th and 7th levels that can enter all levels and planes of being, including the physical.

Each plane exists for its own purpose, always in tune with cosmic order and balance. Their function is individual and yet always connected to and performing as an integral part of the greater whole. But what are these 7 levels and planes?

THE PHYSICAL PLANE

The physical plane, otherwise known as the physical universe, is the densest level of consciousness in terms of matter. Whilst this plane coexists within the context of the whole, or all seven levels of consciousness, it does so within a discoverable and measurable framework of physical laws. For the most part, these are now understood through such scientific disciplines as mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology. Our experience of this plane is fed to the brain in the form of input from the five senses of touch, smell, taste, sight and sound, and are structured and organized through a variety of internal mechanisms that filter information through the processes of generalization, deletion and distortion. In so doing we experience our own very unique and subjective map of the world. We use that ‘map’, or representation of what we perceive as reality, to navigate our way through the maze of life and to make sense of the world in which we operate as an individual, and yet connected organism. The process of ‘living’ or ‘experiencing’ the material world operates therefore, from a foundation of input or experiences that we apportion a meaning to, evaluate against our own unique frames of reference and then respond to. By experiencing the outcomes of those responses, we grow and learn through trial and error, accumulating beliefs, values, attitudes, opinions and norms as we do so each new event becoming additional information for evaluation and comparison against what has already been learned. The great human dilemma lies in our perceptions becoming so ingrained within the matrix of the material and physical experience, that any belief in, or appreciation for, the other levels and planes often happens either by chance, challenge of change to what we assume to be true or real. It is in this that a paradox exists, for in a world where seeing is assumed to substantiate believing, it often requires us to first believe in order to see outside of the material box.

In esoteric terms, the physical plane is considered to consists of: Solid Liquid Gaseous Etheric (ordinary current electricity and sound)

Super Etheric (light) Sub Atomic (subtle energies) Atomic (telepathy)

THE ETHERIC BODY

Each human being is believed to have what is called an Etheric body (see Figure 1), otherwise known as the Etheric Double. This body is the blueprint of the physical body and is an etheric mirror image, giving Prana (the life force) to its physical counterpart. The Etheric body is considered to be a part of the physical body, because upon death it disintegrates as we pass on and leave the physical dimension behind.

Figure 1

It is the Etheric body that is associated with the blueprint of the central nervous system, telepathy, mediumistic phenomena and energy healing. The Etheric body transmits the life force to the physical body and upon its dissolution at death, the physical body dies. The Etheric body, while necessary to the life of the physical body, is not a separate body of consciousness. Its function is solely to distribute the life force to the physical body, and as such it is therefore connected to health and well-being.

Every solid, liquid and gaseous particle in the physical body is wrapped in its own Etheric envelope, much like the nucleus of a cell, hence the name ‘Etheric Double’ because it is an exact duplicate of the physical form. This ‘body’ projects itself approximately one quarter of an inch beyond the physical shell of the skin. Apart from its role in the distribution of life force to the physical body, the Etheric body acts as a bridge between the dense physical body and the next level of consciousness. In this context, it transmits the experiences of the physical senses to that level, which is known as The Astral Plane. It also transmits our experiences of the Astral and higher planes to the physical body, which accounts for the process of psychic phenomena and intuition.

THE ASTRAL PLANE

Access to other levels and planes is more normally achieved by the inhabitants of them lowering their vibration to access the astral for purposes of communication with selected human beings through such mediums as channeling and dowsing. When a person is dowsing it has been shown through advanced brain scan technology that their brain waves change and take them from Beta to high Beta. It is in this state that we are able to access higher levels of intuition, which means tapping primarily into the Astral Plane. The Astral plane, otherwise known as the Astral World, the Psychic Plane or the World of Glamour, has a massive impact and effect upon our physical world, not least because it operates within and alongside our own (the Physical Plane). Its energetic inhabitants exert a massive impact upon our emotional states through various means, and rarely for our greater good. Regardless of your belief in this unseen world of frequencies, it impacts your life in a number of ways. The common mistake that many people make regarding the Astral is that they think, see or perceive it to be in some way above and separate to our own

physical plane. This is simply not the case, for the Astral permeates both itself and our own world as we know it. We live amongst the astral frequencies and for the most part they do not deliberately manifest themselves to us, unless we raise our frequency or awareness, or do something foolhardy, unknowingly or otherwise, to open the doorway to them unwittingly. This is done when we consult a medium, play with a Ouija board, play with the tarot, mess around with astral projection, becoming involved with magick; black or white, or any one of a number of alternative practices, including but not restricted to dowsing, mediumship, channeling and meditation. There are what you might call “rules of engagement” with all levels and planes of being, but the Astral represents probably the most dangerous to the amateur or curious unprotected mind, simply because its frequencies are not always harmonious or of positive intent towards us. We may, for the most part, be perceptually unaware of the Astral operating within and around our own space, but be in no doubt that it does. It is in the Astral that our thoughts and emotional responses (which are energy, and thus subtle vibrational frequencies) take shape and form (thought-forms). These thought-forms are like clouds that hang around in the ether until they dissipate or dissolve. Whilst in ' form' our thoughts attract other like frequencies. These frequency clouds grow, and with enough sustained emotional energy attached to them, can become frequencies of astral matter or elementals. This is the basis behind hexes, spells and charms and is also why concepts like The Secret' don't and cannot work in the way that they are sold to the uninformed.

THE ASTRAL BODY

Beyond the Etheric body of man lies a separate vehicle of consciousness known as the Astral or Emotional body, which, like the etheric body, is one of a number of the energetic fields or bodies that surround the physical body. The astral body is the centre of emotions, feelings and desire. All thoughts and emotions manifest first within the astral plane before being filtered down into the physical mind and body of man. The astral body is a vehicle to clairvoyant sight, and in appearance, is not unlike the physical body in that is contains an aura which, if you could see it, would

appear to you as flashing colours. This body too is composed of matter, for it operates within the physical world, however that matter is of a higher frequency than physical matter. Feelings, desires and emotions within the physical body are expressed in the Astral by the variations of colour surrounding the Astral body.

THE LOWER ASTRAL PLANE

Between the physical and the lower astral and within the astral itself are trillions of frequencies including lost, trapped, and evolving souls and malevolent entities. They are non-physical, but for a whole host of reasons the bulk of them desire to live, have and experience the physical and material desires of the flesh. Whilst they are for the most part unable to actually ' see' our world in detail they can ' perceive' the frequencies of human beings - they ' see' our auras for want of a better explanation. Because they are frequencies, they naturally have the ability, desire and attraction to like frequencies in the physical. Material and physical desire are in and of themselves merely frequencies. They are only manifest in the physical through the behaviour of physical beings (humans), but they are in origin and state, purely energetic frequencies. And so it is that ' like in the Physical' attracts ' like from the Astral'. Attachments, psychic links and even possessions occur because of such attraction. They merely vary in observable state according to the intensity of the frequency. These incidents are not as rare as you might think. Eugene Maury, the exorcist, estimated back in the 1980's that over one quarter of the worlds population has spirit attachments of one kind or another. My own research into astral links, attachments and possession suggests that figure is quite modest in this year 2012. My work also indicates that nearly every human being has some ' thought forms' attached to them, and whilst they may not be particularly harmful in general, some can be extremely debilitating. Such debilitations from all attachments manifest in the physical in many ways including stress, depression, anxiety, frustration, aggression and even abusive and criminal behaviour. These attachments can also lead to serious dis-eases and illnesses. Louise Hay and others believed that the majority of illness and dis-ease is psychosomatic, and from a metaphysical viewpoint, ninety-percent of the causes of disease in humanity is to be found in the astral body.

Astral thought forms and elementals, by their very makeup and nature have the ability, and indeed the desire to attach themselves to human energetic fields. Any such attachment interrupts and interferes with our natural energetic state to varying degrees from the subtle to the malevolent. My experiences over many years, and my work in the field of Soul release work has provided me with ample evidence of all types of entities, and the effect that they can have to the human condition. From a stabbing pain in the body, to a skin disorder, stomach and bowel dis-eases to cancer itself, all human disease comes from imbalance within the system in one form or another and at one level or another. All such activity in the physical plane is derived from vibrational variations in either in the physical, mental or emotional states, and by the very nature of our world, they have only one source of expression - through the physical body of each individual organism. That expression is the outward manifestation in physical form that we call illness and dis-ease. From a metaphysical perspective the need for protection whilst engaging in any activity that can change or adjust our natural balanced and happy state of consciousness will I trust now be self-evident. To manifest protection we should of course first ground ourselves. Once grounded we should attempt to create a bullet- proof screen around ourselves by aligning our consciousness to the specific frequency with which we shall be working. This can be achieved in many ways and over time you will no doubt adjust and tweak existing methods to create your own personalized ones. In the early days however, I would advise you to use what already works and that which has a proven track record over time. Some frequencies are too high and light for the physical body to contain safely, however we can attract those frequencies around us and raise our own levels sufficiently to become aligned with them.

THE MENTAL PLANE

It is not our purpose to deal specifically with the Mental Plane in this book, however, it is here that our non-emotional mental thoughts originate. The quality of those thoughts will determine where they emanate on this plane, which is divided into the lower mental plane and the higher mental plane. It is our thoughts that make up our personality and who we become in a particular incarnation. Every thought creates what is called a thought-form on

the mental plane. Bad or negative thoughts have lower frequencies, which by their nature are drawn to the lower mental plane. Good, positive and loving thoughts are conversely drawn into the higher mental plane. All thoughts have a resonant frequency of their own and by the nature of cause and effect, and what some call the law of attraction, are drawn to each other (or where these frequencies reside).

THOUGHT FORMS

Thought forms, by the nature of their intent, are attracted to the object of that intent. The object of the intent can be anything from another person to an animal, place, event, time, circumstance etc. even and especially towards one’s self of course. Thought forms, which in and of themselves are living energies, discharge themselves over the object of their intent, and in so doing attach themselves to it when there is no barrier or natural protection in place to stop them. Most thoughts are in effect relatively harmless, until they are repeated often enough to increase their energy. Such repeated thoughts will, by the nature of their repetition, and therefore, their importance to the individual, have varying degrees of emotion attached to them.

Emotion, which resides in the astral and is linked to the astral or emotional body, is the etheric glue that sticks to a thought form and draws it into the astral, turning it into a real, living entity of its own. Whilst such entities have no consciousness, nor thinking processes, they are like guided missiles with but one purpose and one target - the object of their creation, or the person to whom they have been directed. The real world evidence for thought forms can be seen in experiences in which, for example, as you think about someone, the telephone rings and it is them, or you think about a person you have not met in many years, and the very next day you bump into them. Though forms can also ‘link’ people together, and can be picked up unconsciously. One of the most poignant examples of this lies in the

assassination of President Lincoln who wrote of the experience some years before it’s unfolding:

"About ten days ago, I retired very late. I had been up waiting for important dispatches from the front. I could not have been long in bed when I fell into a slumber, for I was weary. I soon began to dream. There seemed to be a deathlike stillness about me. Then I heard subdued sobs, as if a number of people were weeping. I thought I left my bed and wandered downstairs. There the silence was broken by the same pitiful sobbing, but the mourners were invisible. I went from room to room; no living person was in sight, but the same mournful sounds of distress met me as I passed along. I saw light in all the rooms; every object was familiar to me; but where were all the people who were grieving as if their hearts would break? I was puzzled and alarmed. What could be the meaning of all this? Determined to find the cause of a state of things so mysterious and so shocking, I kept on until I arrived at the East Room, which I entered. There I met with a sickening surprise. Before me was a catafalque, on which rested a corpse wrapped in funeral vestments. Around it were stationed soldiers who were acting as guards; and there was a throng of people, gazing mournfully upon the corpse, whose face was covered, others weeping pitifully. 'Who is dead in the White House?' I demanded of one of the soldiers, 'The President,' was his answer; 'he was killed by an assassin.' Then came a loud burst of grief from the crowd, which woke me from my dream. I slept no more that night; and although it was only a dream, I have been strangely annoyed by it ever since."

Perhaps the most interesting part of his account was how he could not stop thinking about it? His words again were, “ I have been strangely annoyed by it ever since." Was this because he was picking up on the thoughts of his assassin, who one could reasonably assume to have been obsessing about his mission? Was Lincoln himself feeding the obsession at an occult level by concentrating upon in, and in so doing feeding it’s energy and drawing it nearer to him? What do you think?

MORE ABOUT THOUGHT-FORMS

Thought-forms are created, as their name suggests, from thought. They are the residual of thoughts turned real in the astral, and are created mainly through extreme or intense thoughts of one kind or another. Many people think that thought forms are created our excessive anger, and whilst this is true of some thought forms, it is not true of others, because ALL extreme emotion creates thought-forms that resonate with those thoughts and emotions. Thought-forms are the basis behind occult practices of manifestation, and they are used by magicians and witches as objects of their desire; like servants that do their bidding. One of the reasons behind ritual lies in the creation and maintenance of mental states that empower the manifestation of thought forms. Because of the energy and sustained emotion required to create a more sustainable thought form, ritual provides such circumstances and levels of concentration necessary in the birth of specific and what you might call made to measure thought forms that can be directed to do the bidding of the magician or witch. Matched or mirrored emotional energy, and or a strong belief in the existence of the thought form will feed their energy and their longevity, and fear is the most powerful ally of this energetic ‘being’. Because of the nature and makeup of thought forms, they are also able to change shape and appearance of course, and this accounts for the many reports down through the ages of devils and demons, ghosts, incubus, succubus, and things that go bump in the night. Thought forms are nothing more of less than energy manifest as entity, or thought appearing real. Thought forms are for the most part a creation of mankind that in the astral, wonder the planes of consciousness, searching for nothing more than to link or attach to like frequencies or the object of their creation (desire) through thought. Thought forms can be good as well as bad of course, for they are merely the reflection of the thoughts that create them, mirroring the motive and intention of their coming into being in the first place. This is one aspect of the Law of Attraction, and how it can be used to manifest in the physical. Most people however, do not appreciate the power that thought has, and they have no idea of the literal creative power of thought in the astral. Strong desire, supported by enough emotion and sustained thought, creates the object of that desire on the mental plane and bad or harmful thoughts about another person (or even yourself) exist there too. Thought is an energy all of its own, and through universal flow it connects us all to each other, through good and through ill, in love and in hate, jealousy, envy, anger and fear. So, be careful what you wish for or fear to experience, because with enough emotional energy behind it, those thoughts could easily turn into a reality of your own making. Beware, for your greatest fear will always visit you when you give it enough power and energy.

ABOUT PSYCHIC ATTACK

The previous chapter will have given you some pretty good clues as to how psychic attack works, and you will have probably picked up on the fact that ALL psychic attacks work by infiltrating the human organism or consciousness at one level or another. For our purposes, psychic attack means any unwanted or potentially harmful energetic interference with the human organism and consciousness, and includes that which can be achieved on any level and plane of our being, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. This chapter will explain the dynamics of psychic attack, the various types of psychic attack that can be experienced in the physical plane and how they can visit the unprepared person. You might be interested to know that the unprepared person means nearly every living soul on the planet at this time. Psychic attack and unwanted influence by malevolent and unseen forces also accounts for a great deal of the war, abuse, violence and generally undesirable human behaviour that exists today.

THE CAUSES OF PSYCHIC ATTACK

Psychic attack can be achieved on any level and plane of our being, physical, mental, emotional AND SPIRITUAL, and happens for a number of reasons:  Someone (a physical person) wishes to harm you in some way and through the dark arts and has himself/herself, or through someone else, placed an attack upon you.

 Someone (a physical person) has strong negative emotions towards you and those thought forms have been consciously or unconsciously projected towards you and have penetrated your natural defenses. The same is true of positive emotions, however, with the correct motive these can act as a protective influence. Prayer is a perfect example of this, as are feelings of unconditional love.  Some other entity, seen or unseen, wishes to attach to you in some way, and through the dark arts have themselves organized an attack upon you.  You have unconsciously drawn attention to yourself by a force, entity, energy or vibration that has attached itself to you.  Your have been linked or attached to by a force, energy or frequency with which you have come into contact physically.  A person who has strong feelings towards you (positive or negative) has linked into you, or attached to you in some way.  For karmic reasons, which by default require you to experience this for yourself. Karma is very complicated, and whilst some would say that this is because you have visited the same upon someone else at some stage, this is not necessarily so. Some Karma requires individuals to have such experiences for other reasons like the learning of discernment for example.

LINKS AND ATTACHMENTS

In essence, all psychic attacks form links or attachments of some kind in order to work their spell, infect the host with their frequency or thought form, and generally do what they do. There are however, specific forms of psychic attack that are more traditionally know as links of attachments, and these can be generated from one or a combination of many sources:  Negative thoughts, judgments and criticisms create holes and tears in the aura and allow access by other entities and frequencies though those open passageways. Negativity lowers the human frequency anyway, and will therefore attract entities of the same frequency by default. Once attracted, their task is made all the more easy by the negativity within the person.

 When you make an energetic connection yourself to someone who is closely aligned to the astral plane you can be the unconscious victim of links and attachments from them. This happens most commonly when people give their power away by admiring someone too much, looking up to them or following them blindly. Examples would include cults, celebrity worshiping, religious dogma, and even becoming star struck or infatuated with another person that vibrates at a lower frequency.  Being physically close (in terms of distance) to any being brings us into their energetic field. If we are open to that field, or unprotected to subtle energy influences, they can unconsciously form links or attachments to us.  Sexual intercourse is probably the most unknown and underestimated of all causes of links. Links formed from such intimacy and the exchange of bodily fluids influences us on many levels, but also links us to past sexual partners as well (both ours and our partner’s) unless those links are severed and the cords are cut.  Through the provision of therapies, counseling, alternative treatments, natal treatments, operations, medical examinations, dental treatment to others.  By being in any environment with other human beings, however some are worse than others and include, pubs, bars, restaurants, night clubs, supermarkets and medical centres to mention but a few. Slaughterhouses, hospitals, cemeteries, funerals, funeral parlors, prisons and all aggressive environments are perhaps the most challenging in this regard.

REALITY CHECK

Not everything bad, negative or unfortunate that happens to us, or that happens in our life is because of psychic attack. Excluding serious illness and disease for one moment, it is more common for people to suffer the cause and effect of their own attitudes, behaviour and decisions, but taking responsibility for such outcomes is not something that comes easy to most people, and it is always far easier to look for something outside of ourselves to blame first. In psychology, there is concept called ‘conspiracy theory’ in which the mere knowledge of something encourages a person to see or believe that they have

experienced it, and psychic attacks, links and attachments are no different. It is not uncommon for people to study spiritual matters and then to experience them for themselves, merely because the brain always goes in the direction of its most dominant thought. The subconscious is very good at proving our reality to us by seeking out supposed evidence in the ‘real world’ around us. There is no doubt that psychic attacks are on the increase, however, we must not forget that within our definition of ‘psychic attack’ we included all manner of energetic influences including links and attachments.

Actually, outside of darks arts psychic attacks, which are very rare indeed, most attacks come in the form of links and attachments that reach their target merely because of ignorance, ego or lifestyle; Ignorance because most people are completely unaware of the phenomena in the first place, and ego because many of those who are aware of this subject often naively think that they are somehow protected just by being who they are or because of what they believe. And lifestyle, because of where people go and whom they associate with. The reality however, is more unassuming and far less exciting, because most people are never wantonly psychically attacked. More often than not they are merely the victim of some mild link or attachment, that over time dissipates anyway or clears when circumstances change. The point here is this. Unless you are actively involved in the occult, alternative practices or live a lifestyle that attracts such energies, then the worst that you will probably ever have to face are links and attachments that are relatively easy to deal with. If you are in the latter category, then a little discernment and some basic psychic protection techniques will probably see you link and attachment free and protected under most everyday circumstances. The key is to be prepared and not to see ghosts in every sheet hanging on a washing line, if you get my point.

PSYCHIC LINKS

These are what you might call etheric or energetic connections that become attached to us. In many cases they can be quite debilitating because they have the propensity to draw energy from us, and can feel quite draining. In a metaphorical sense these links are attached to us by what some refer to as a psychic cords that is are literally invisible chords that link to us from the source of the link. It is important to realise that such links do not necessarily originate from consciously motivated psychic attack to the person, although there are circumstances in which they may be. On the whole, they are generally created through more negatively motivated contact or experience with another person or group of people, and usually feel quite draining or emotionally tiring in some way. As a consequence, once attached, these links or cords draw energy from us, and will continue to do so until they are dealt with or literally and metaphorically ‘cut’. Such links, and the person associated with creating them, are also described by some as “psychic vampires”, simply because they suck the energy out of you. Such people (the psychic vampires) are generally emotionally demanding, and tend to be people who need a lot of your time, emotional support, understanding, sympathy and contact. They are often people with low selfesteem or who are suffering from some form of anxiety, co-codependency or mild depression or depressive state. Whilst we all need support at times in life, these people are different, and the whole experience of supporting their needs feels different too. You will know when you are in the company of a psychic vampire because you will almost certainly feel a sense of being uncomfortable, uneasy or frustrated with them. Such feelings are subtle, and can be hard to consciously acknowledge, because we all like to be nice and to help people where we can. We also don’t like to think of ourselves as being intolerant or impatient towards people in need do we? And here lies the challenge because such a disposition can lead us to being linked into because of our lack of awareness. If you have ever been in the company of a person who ‘feels’ draining in some way, who complains a lot, and who talks about themselves relentlessly, then you will already have some idea of the ‘feeling’ of knowing a psychic vampire when you meet one. It is important to note that such people do no necessarily link into you consciously. The process is more subtle and unconscious, but the outcome is the same none-the-less, and you may even find yourself starting to ‘feel’ negative feelings that are not normal for you, and certainly not those that feel comfortable to you. As a result, you will start to feel drained, even worried or anxious, and almost certainly emotionally, mentally and even physically exhausted. When

these cords remain unchecked and unbroken, they can lead to debilitating disease with your entire system, and even illness. Below I have listed some of the personality types that can be responsible for such experiences in others with whom they meet. This list is by no means complete and exists by way of example. The list could of course comprise almost any negatively motivated form of human behavior, but would certainly include: 

Alcoholics and heavy drinkers



Anxious or emotionally dependent people



Arrogant, manipulative and controlling people



Drug users, abusers and addicts



Aggressive, argumentative and critical individuals



The needy and dependent individual



Depressive individuals and the clinically depressed



Lazy, lethargic or low energy individuals



Those with long-term illnesses or regular chronic sickness



Complainers and criticizers

ATTACHMENTS

An attachment occurs when an entity (usually an earthbound spirit) attaches itself to our aura and insists on hanging around because it is attracted to our frequency, or the vibration of an activity in which we participate, like drinking, smoking or sex and drugs for example.

NOTE: Earthbound spirits are often unaware that they have passed on and because of this, and their holding on to certain and often specific earthly desires, they roam the lower astral plane searching for satisfaction for their desires (whilst at the same time retaining all of their incarnate fears and weaknesses). They find the object of their desires in the form of energies or frequencies that match them, usually mirrored in the physical plane by the material or physical manifestation of them. These spirits, as on earth with the forming of friendships for example, are drawn towards the living, and in particular living beings (people) that are like they are.

Attachments tend to be generally environmentally or occupationally obtained. They are like a hitchhiker on the freeway who happens to jump into your car for a ride to where they are going, just because your car passed by and you happened to have an empty seat. The car is your aura, the freeway is where you are and the seat is the frequency or aspect of their desire or attention.

By this I mean that these entities are attracted to us because:

1. We happened to be in the same physical space as them (usually in a negative or low frequency place, like bars, night clubs, pubs, hospitals etc.) 2. Our frequency (either generally or at that time) happens to be akin to the frequency of their desire (smoking, alcohol, sex, drugs etc). In other words, we are like them because dead or alive, birds of a feather generally do flock together. 3. We engage in an activity that attracts them (as in 1 and 2 above but also including channeling, meditating, dowsing, tarot and all other forms of psychicintuitive alternative activities) 4. We have been psychically attacked and the entity has been sent to attach itself to us, and not for our greater good or wellbeing 5.

The attachment is from a past life, and is therefore, karmic in nature

My colleagues and I are regularly emailed by people who are experiencing the symptoms of energetic psychic attack, and whenever there is evidence of an attachment of some kind, formal psychic attack is rare, whereas environmentally and activity motivated attachments are more often than not the cause. When we are approached by spiritually oriented individuals for help, almost every case comes from activity related attachments caused by lack of discernment, lack of esoteric knowledge, little or inadequate knowledge of grounding and protection mechanisms, and somewhere in there a smattering of either naivety or ego, and

usually both. Lack of esoteric knowledge is probably the most relevant, because with such knowledge one tends to be far more discerning, grounding and protection oriented and very wary of being naive or even mildly over confident.

WARNING: I stand in amazement sometimes at some of the things that I read and hear from seemingly credible spiritualists and new age pseudo spiritualists; I call them ‘the sugar and spice and all things nice brigade’, who actually believe that a person cannot be attached to or even possessed unless they want to be or invite the entity to do so. By the way, the term exorcism is merely a stronger term for a serious attachment in which the spirit enters the physical body through the back of the head. Read Esoteric Anatomy by Hilarion and Elizabeth Rose Howard www.dodopublishing.com/esoteric-anatomy.html. There are also many such people who believe that they cannot be psychically attacked if they are ‘working in the light’, whatever that means in the real spiritual world.

Perhaps more interesting and poignant, is that few new age authors, practitioners, ‘masters’, and alternative practitioners have even the most basic esoteric or theosophical background or knowledge, and even less have any knowledge of the lay of the land or the spiritual terrain into which they activities thrust unsuspecting clients, customers and spiritual seekers, any one of who can cause or become the recipient of an undiscovered link or attachment. Indeed, it may come as no surprise to you that, anyone dealing with or working with emotionally, mentally or even physically disturbed, distressed or diseased individuals has the highest propensity links and attachments to be passed to them. Unless the practitioner, therapist, medic, dentist or doctor has an clear understanding of such matters and undertakes adequate precautions from them in the form of clearing, grounding and protection techniques, then they are by default gong to pass them on to patients, clients and customers who have not previously and appropriately protected themselves before the consultation, work, therapy or treatment.

The medical profession will of course, deny, invalidate, mock and generally prefer to discredit such concepts, but let us not forget that it is those very ‘professionals’ who have taken the same approach to microwaves and mobile phones frequencies. Indeed, there are many examples of science scoffing at what alternative studies have known for millennia, only to ‘change their minds’ in the face of ‘new evidence’ that they apparently have discovered or even invented in the name of science. Dogma is the restrictor of progress it would seem, but it is never too slow to violate God’s copyright.

THE SYMPTOMS OF ATTACK

About Symptoms

It is important that these symptoms are viewed in the normal light of day and with a balanced view to other, more obvious, everyday and commonplace causes, such as fatigue, tiredness, anxiety and stress for example. Signs of the symptoms DO NOT necessarily mean that someone is under psychic attack. Where you suspect psychic attack, and you have considered more common sense causes, It is wise to consider recent circumstances and events that might have triggered them, which will of course include any recent alternative activities like dowsing, group meditations etc. In addition, one should also consider recent environmental conditions. They could include visiting or being in the close proximity to places that are more likely to ‘attract’ subtle energy frequencies. These would include pubs, nightclubs, hospitals, dental surgeries and even super markets or shopping malls. ABOVE ALL, beware of falling prey to what is technically known as ‘conspiracy theory’, whereby a little knowledge of subtle energies, psychic attack and protection etc., inclines you to deduce such influences by default, and as opposed to common sense and careful analysis of all of the conditions,

circumstances and factors before jumping to conclusions and seeing things that are not there. In all things, common sense should prevail.

PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS

LOOKS CAN KILL…

Have you ever heard the expression, ‘if looks could kill’? It is commonly used in response to someone ‘looking daggers’ at another person or ‘burning someone up’ with their looks. You may also have noticed the metaphorical nature of such phrases, which include the words, ‘daggers’, ‘kill’ and ‘burn’. We also use phrases about critical or harmful speech like ‘cutting words’, ‘spitting bullets’, and others for behavior, like ‘ill-tempered’ and ‘foul mouthed’ for example. They all imply harm to the other person in some way, and they are not far off the mark. The very nature of thought-forms, as we have seen, is that they are created by something as simple as mere thought in the Mental Planes. Bad thoughts emanate from the lower mental plane and good thoughts form the higher mental plane. It is emotion in the astral plane that draws these thoughts down into that part of the astral to which they belong; good to the higher astral and bad to the lower astral. Just as it is possible to assist the healing process with good, positive and loving thoughts, so it is possible to create dis-ease and bad influences with bad, negative and hateful thoughts. Whilst most normal thoughts are relatively harmless, because they simply dissipate over time (usually very quickly), thoughts that are repeated or that hold strong emotional energy will survive longer, and even grow. When they have sufficient energy within them, these thoughts attract the attention of elementals that attach themselves to their energy, and use it to carry out the tasks that the thought forms were intended for. They do this by simply attaching themselves to the etheric field of the intended victim of the thought and discharging their vibration into the etheric field. Elementals are non-analytical and non-judgmental. They merely exist like etheric robots that soak up thought forms that resonate with their own frequency. In its most negative sense, the process is not unlike a mosquito carrying malaria and injecting the disease into human beings through their skin. The only difference is that thought forms are more discerning and select their victims by intent or frequency (attraction). Remember that this process also works in a positive sense when human beings think kind and loving thoughts.

WARNING SIGNS OF ATTACK

We have considered the symptoms of psychic attack, however they will manifest after the attack has taken place, and prevention is always far better than the cure. Because of the nature of psychic attack, which is almost always invisible, unseen and usually unexpected, prevention can only be fully created through a regular routine of psychic protection. Whilst there is always a warning that comes to us from a ‘feeling’ or ‘gut reaction’ to their onslaught, the subtle nature of these attacks tends to go unnoticed by the average person, and more often than not, even by experienced practitioners. That is why prevention is the best method, because although we may fleetingly become aware of feeling wary or uneasy about something, because we cannot always put our finger on it, we tend to ignore it or let it pass, which results in the attack taking hold through nothing more than indecision and uncertainty about the warning at an etheric level. There are, however, some more common human circumstances in which warnings are given unconsciously by an attacker. Most people are aware of these, and tend to ignore them most of the time, putting them down to personality types, everyday happenings, and ‘the stuff of life’. It is these warnings, however, which are quite common and can be dealt with sooner rather than later, relatively easily and in many cases, immediately. In a situation of physical conflict, there is an old statement that holds true most of the time. Someone who talks about fighting, parades themselves like a peacock and threatens, is probably not going to start a fight with anyone. On the other hand, if someone is hell bent upon beating you up, they are not going to talk to you about it, they are simply going to do it, and the first thing you will know is probably the first thing you hear when you regain consciousness in hospital. Serious, consciously motivated, planned and professionally executed psychic attack is like that, because the attack is unexpected and it happens so quickly, and so efficiently, that the victim is hit before they know it. The outcome requires some pretty serious intervention and psychic defense work. Fortunately, and this holds true most of the time, the odds of it happening are rare. Actually, they are the same as being mentally attacked by some you know, which for most people who live in relatively well-balanced homes, is unlikely. This kind of psychic attack tends to come only because someone whom you know wishes you harm in some way. Outside of black magic attacks, the most likely, and most frequent forms of negative psychic attacks generally come from one of three sources: 1. From unknown energies that have been attracted to you because your own frequency matches theirs at a given time or in a given environment

2. From thought-forms that have attached to you by negative thoughts that have been directed to you through anger, jealousy, greed, guilt, and the everyday frustrations and misunderstandings that generate such thoughts in another person 3. Through involvement with any and all occult practices, comprising all forms of therapy (physical and psychological), including spiritual healing.

THE MOST MALEVOLENT ATTACK OF ALL

I include this as a form of attack, not least because it operates at an unconscious level, and also because it occurs at an energetic level within the neurological framework of the mind of man, motivated by lower frequencies of covert deception, influence and control that have no connection with good or the greater good of mankind on any level. For all of us who like to consider ourselves to be spiritual (and not excluding the rest of humanity either necessarily) there is one form of psychic attack that has become, certainly in modern times, probably the most malevolent and ignored of all. This aspect of energetic intrusion and influence is so pervasive and covert that is has slipped through our natural defenses more easily than any other; primarily, because it attacks human consciousness through our mental programming and social conditioning. It destroys the mechanisms of life purpose, connection with others, joy, satisfaction, sense of personal value and achievement. It invades and lowers the mental frequency of man, and in so doing lowers his resonant vibration. It destroys motivation, inspiration and desire, and it can, over time attack the physical body more subtly and effectively than even the most decisive and consciously motivated forms of voodoo or dark arts invasion. This form of psychic attack affects, not just one soul, if affects the entire human race. Why waste time, energy and resources fighting a battle when you can simply infect your enemy with a virus that will spread like wild fire? Why try to convince anyone of something, when you can plant a seed in his or her mind? Why hide your attack when you can place it under the noses of man where he won’t even notice? Why try to destroy spirit and the essence of God when you can help that essence to destroy itself?

This form of attack is so effective that it is now even acknowledged by modern science, embraced by “ologies” and used to great effect by those who know its power and understand its mechanisms. So powerful is this psychic weapon that it works in creating separation, division, war, and all seven deadly sins in one delivery of its payload. So effective is this weapon of psychic technology that every human being knows about it, experiences it, and is even given the tools to combat it, but chooses for the most part, to ignore it completely. Careers are formed upon its back, books are written about it, every single movie ever produced portrays it, and even politics, trade, commerce and education use it for their own ends. It has been firmly placed underneath all of our noses and we fail to do anything about it. It is arguably so entrenched within the human consciousness at a subtle level that we can no longer do anything about it without great will, personal sacrifice and determination. It is the reason for people being lethargic, unwilling to stand up for what is right or to fight injustice, and it is why people, particularly in the west, won’t even fight for their rights anymore. This form of psychic attack comes to all human beings in the form of fear, and manifests through fear of loss, rejection, loneliness, isolation, standing out, speaking out and ultimately the fear of being everything that they were incarnated to be. It is the reason for the karmic wheel being so slow, and it is the reason why most people accept mediocrity and slavish consumerism. It is also the basis and the foundation upon which bullying, dictatorships, modern politics, economic policy, and even the illusion of economic growth are built. Its power overshadows, influences and manipulates our lives in every second, of every minute, of every hour, of every day, of every week, of every month, of every years, and still the masses do nothing to help themselves to avoid it and to protect themselves from it. The more financially comfortable (and by default more influential in creating change) people become, the less they do about it, leaving the poor, sick, weak, and helpless to become poorer, more hopeless and more helpless. What is it? Sorry to drag this out and prolong the agony, but this is so very important to all of us in all aspects of our being, especially the evolution of our consciousness. It is the energetic and subtle influence of other people’s negative thinking! I love this term, so here it is: It is the Significant Negative Influence of Other People (SNIOP) I cannot take credit for this acronym, which was coined by a man named Morris Goodman, also known as The Miracle Man - see The Miracle Man.

SNOP is a specific and malevolent type of thought form (fear) that infects the incarnate soul, almost from birth, and it accounts for probably ALL negative human behaviour! NOTE: I am not referring to mind control or other conspiracy based views for they are often subjective. I am referring specifically to a particular aspect of human mentality that has become an intrusive and malevolent part of its own evolution over time, created by nothing more than thought forms in the mental plane, but fed and maintained by greed and the desire by some for elevated status or power over others. Even the foundations of our modern society in all of its aspects, and the inveterate and slavish consumerism that surrounds us today, were built upon its foundations of separation, division and the greed of the few at the expense of the many, and it feeds, grows and flourishes on the frequency of fear. Our entire human system now survives and thrives on greed, subservience and fear (usually of some kind of loss). So ingrained is this fear (or what I have personally coined as a Falsely Exaggerated Anxiety Reaction, as opposed to False Expectations Appearing Real) within the psyche and experience of man, that those who cannot see it will defend ‘the system’ and their opinions more fervently than they would truth, justice, honour, integrity, loyalty and connection. So ingrained within the fabric and framework of our social conditioning is this psychic attack, that we don’t even think that we need to do anything about it anymore. So effective is its psychic influence (thought-forms) that people have become sheeple and the moment one tries to be individual, different or question it by climbing over the fence to freedom, the rest of the flock try desperately to pull them back into the pen, using judgment, criticism, mockery, and when all else fails, the destruction of their character, credibility or reputation. A great book on this subject that you might like to read one day is called Ishmael by Daniel Quinn. For the most part, perhaps we should stop worrying about all other forms of psychic attack, for in dealing with this aspect of it we would probably deal with all others anyway? The challenge here is that to change what has been learned over a lifetime requires a real desire to do so, serious commitment, and the ability to do so whilst living in the eye of the storm, so to speak. Learning the skills of psychic protection are maybe the easiest and quickest place to start.

A NOTE ABOUT PROTECTION

Psychic protection is not always about protecting you from the bad guys. There are unintentionally unharmonious energies out there as well, but probably the most consistent threat to us comes from thought forms because they are literally everywhere that there are people. Actually, they are everywhere else too on the physical, mental and astral planes, and cannot be avoided whilst in incarnation. It is also foolhardy to assume that any protection method is ever 100% effective, for the moment you become complacent is the moment that your defenses are down. In my experience, common sense is the best protection there is. By this I mean the practice of discernment and the continual reassessment of one’s protection, which ensure that it is in place, and working as required. The challenge here though lies in accurately knowing, and unless one is a dowser or knows someone who is, or one has another practical and measurable way of knowing, it is very difficult to be sure. I have learned over the years that the time that most people think their protection to be good it isn’t, and this is merely because they think it is, for pride alone can lower their frequency. It is also very, very important to appreciate that the devil looks after his own. What do I mean by this?

Excluding the less conscious energies for one moment, the all-consuming task of the dark forces is to manipulate, divert and generally hijack anything and everything related to universal truth. That truth consists of our knowing who we are, our life purpose, where we really come from, the meaning of life itself, and where our journey is leading us. Such truth is not something that we can learn as much as it is something that we remember. The simplest and often most effective way to stop, halt or misdirect our ‘memory’ lies merely in deflecting thought, awareness, understanding, meaning and belief. In so doing, truth is derailed in favour of more enticing, intoxicating, entertaining, rewarding and satisfying illusions. The well-intentioned spiritual seeker who buys into the latest hair-brained new age scheme, or who naively rejects truth even for a moment, lowers their frequency by default. In so doing they become (whether momentarily or more lastingly) more aligned with lower frequencies that will favour, court and even support them on their misguided journey. Such people need no protection from that which supports their illusions. It is not in the interest of the dark forces to inform us that we are being deceived. Hence the devil looking after his own so to speak, merely because ‘he’ has no vested interest in shattering our illusions. Such people, rarely, if ever experience psychic attack, for there is no mileage in the bully attacking his own followers. And so it is that the proud seekers, who says for no other reason than they accept the concept that they have mastered the art of protection merely by ‘working in the light’ or ‘holding the frequency’, will indeed experience the truth of their belief through nothing more than the support of the frequency from which their words emanate. The law of attraction demands that like is always attracted to like and pride is a low frequency. Such people may not be attacked in the traditional ‘psychic attack’ sense, but they have been lured into a web of their own making, and in so doing have become victims of what the early spiritist movement called ‘fascination’, which is the worst form of obsession by lower spirits. This is the process of being so absorbed in the illusion, that they never question it, even defending it in the face of common sense, evidence to the contrary, and the experience of credible third parties. This may not be spirit possession, but it is in fact spirit obsession, which is just another form of psychic attack. The dark forces are well practiced in the art of human manipulation, and they are well versed in the art of ‘different strokes for different folks’, which means that they will use our weaknesses against us in the most individual and creative of ways. Some are possessed and others obsessed, while many are linked and attached to, and others may experience more traditional psychic attack. The worst spirits are the ones who are evil AND intelligent. They will use fascination in preference to the more direct forms of psychic attack, which is why the need for spiritual discernment has become such an important issue today. To see the evidence of this, simply look around you. The world is now full of people who live in psychological mediocrity and who in the face of injustice and

human misery, feel quite justified in turning their heads and keeping their mouths tightly shut. The world is in the grip of the most intrusive form of subjugation, mind control and mental manipulation. It has evolved through subtle changes through social conditioning and fear; the fear of not fitting in, of upsetting others with truth, fear of being politically incorrect and not breaking silly rules and regulations that common sense would never have supported. Our bankers steal, our politicians lie and steal, and no one speaks out or holds them to account. The world economy is in predictable melt down and the unsustainable economic growth that everyone was certain would last is declining, and still we pay more money and say less. What madness was it that created all of this, other than the illusions created by greed, envy, pride, prejudice and the all-consuming praise of the Almighty Dollar, Euro and Pound? Freedoms are diminishing and rights are being taken away, as man’s fearful illusions of loss, self fulfill into the prophecy of that which millions died to avoid in the second world war. Darkness is ‘raining’ heavier than ever before, and humanity stands in danger of drowning in the puddles that cannot dry for a long as it rains.

THE DYNAMICS OF PROTECTION

What many people do not realize is that psychic attack works on one or a combination of five distinct, but interdependent levels of influence. 1.

Physical

2.

Mental

3.

Emotional

4.

Spiritual

5.

Karmic

Probably the most influential level in terms of both positive and negative influences and affects is the karmic one. It is an aspect of our incarnate experience that karma dictates all aspects of our earthly experiences, opportunities and lessons. In this respect karma is the master of circumstance, brought about by the universal demand for the inevitable, yet undetermined in terms of time, restoration of balance; what some might call the original blueprint of perfection. In my experience, and supported by both dowsing and spiritual research, our propensity to be psychically attacked (in all of its many guises) is in part influenced by the need to learn from such experiences. This seems to be especially so of three distinct types of human incarnates. 1. The incarnate individual who involved him or herself with the Occult, which includes all aspects of esoteric activity and endeavour. This would seem to include spiritual, religious and alternative practices of all kinds. Whilst it would appear, on a superficial level, that most seem to avoid psychic attacks of the more serious kind, none are immune from links and attachments, as indeed is all of mankind. 2. Incarnate souls for whom the karmic need to learn spiritual discernment is a pre-prescribed learning experience. 3. Those incarnate souls who, in a specific incarnation, lack the basic mental or emotional ability and competence that acts as barriers to such experiences. In this regard, and by way of example, conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, serious depression and severe mental impairment lower the resistance to psychic attack, having removed or impaired the normal protection mechanism in such people. This is further exacerbated by the use of prescription drugs. (See Esoteric Anatomy by Hilarion and Elizabeth Rose Howard – DodoPublising.com

LEVELS OF INFLUENCE

Spiritual Influence

Created through the attachment to or penetration of the etheric body, this is the first line of attack to an incarnate soul from a source or sources on any level or plane wishing to influence the human organism in some way. Such a link, attachment and or penetration is made possible because:  The frequency of the person is either in some way unprotected by the natural mechanisms of basic human protection  Their frequency is the same as, or in the same range as, the attacking frequency or energy 

By means of deliberate targeting of the individual through occult means

 Through physical or environmental contact with the frequency in some way, usually achieved when participating in traditional and alternative therapies, and or occult practices such as dowsing, meditation, séances, Ouija boards, tarot, clairvoyants, shamanic journeys etc. The law of attraction, and indeed the nature of subtle energies, means that they (the energies and or entities) seek common energetic frequencies to the ‘experience’ or ‘level of satisfaction’ that they are seeking. Hence, spirits or entities for whom the addiction of alcohol from a previous incarnation has not been released, being ‘seen’ hanging around bars, clubs and pubs. By default, any incarnate soul of similar frequency or inclination (even a mild or social one in the case of alcohol and tobacco) being an attractive source of satisfaction to a discarnate being. The result being, the discarnate entity linking or attaching itself to an incarnate being. The same can occur with thought forms and more manmade and directed psychic attacks.

Mental, Emotional and Physical Influences

These are the direct outcome of the etheric field being linked, attached to or penetrated and the offending frequency subtly (and sometimes not so subtly) working its way through the mental, emotional and physical levels of the individual.

It should not be forgotten that the human organism can be affected at a mental and emotional level, and eventually the physical one too, from human attacks to the system by means of thought forms, and verbal, mental and physical abuse of any kind. Whilst we may see these as purely worldly or physical in nature, let us not forget that at a scientific and energetic level everything is frequency, both subtle and not so subtle. Because we perceive something as being physical in nature, thanks to our earthly characteristics, senses and conditioning, let us not forget that sight, sound, touch, taste and small are merely frequencies that are decoded by the brain into the most basic forms that we are able to physically comprehend and acknowledge. Ultimately, all activity is in essence purely energetic at its most fundamental level. Whilst we prefer (or are socially and intellectually conditioned) to see everything as worldly, physical, tangible or ‘real’ from our frame of reference of five very limited sense organs, the ‘all that exists’ is in fact far more subtle than our limited senses can fully comprehend. Indeed, this has been intellectually acknowledged by quantum physics. What is more, when taken to its ultimate level, even science admits that it cannot find you or me anywhere inside of our physical body. Quantum physics actually refers to this you and me, as being ‘the ultimate observer’. A note about science Science’s reluctance to accept such things as subtle energies in a spiritual and occult sense is merely because science cannot accept them under it’s own codes, norms and rules that are restricted entirely to physical and or ‘scientifically’ measurable data. A one eyed man still cannot see when he cover his other eye, and so it is that science is not yet sufficiently advance, nor able by its own self limiting beliefs, to have ‘discovered’ consistent evidence of the paranormal. When it does, it will cry with a loud voice of its discovery of ‘something new’ and ‘never before known’ to mankind, brand it as its own, patent it and surely find a way to make money out of it. This has been true of many esoterically accepted phenomena, known previously to some, yet scoffed at by science. One notable example would be cellular memory, which science now accepts through research into organ transplants and transferred memories. And let’s face it, when leading universities and institutes spend hard earned money on research into prayer and astral projection (what was rebranded as remote viewing, then turned into a process and called scientific remote viewing), you know that they suspect that there is really something behind it all, regardless of their publically looking down their noses at it. One should also consider the historical fact that anything that has even the remotest possibility for military use or matters of national security will always be secreted away under a strategy of misinformation or simply being discredited to cause public disinterest and dismay. Truth or fiction, maybe the great sadness, is that none of us these days it seems trusts our government.

LEVELS OF NO INFLUENCE

One interesting aspect of influence lies in the belief that if you command a spirit or entity to go, and you do so in the name of Jesus, God, the light or any other higher level being, that it will obey your command and go. I don’t know whether you have ever tried doing this in the face of a seriously strong frequency of challenge or not, but if you have, and I am talking about a seriously malevolent entity here not just some troublesome poltergeist, then the odds are that you will have discovered the frustration, annoyance, and maybe fear of trusting an urban myth! The fact is that simply commanding an entity to go does not guarantee its compliance, and there are a number of reasons for this. When you command and entity of any kind to ‘stand in the light’, it does not automatically mean that your demands will be met. This may go contrary to the belief systems of new age thinking, but in the real world of subtle energies and lower astral frequencies, things tend to work somewhat differently. In principle, which is where most generalized beliefs come from of course, this concept does in fact work for lower or less evolved levels of consciousness, but only where the entity’s frequency or vibration is below that of our own. It is not unlike an intelligent kid running rings around the village idiot, and it’s nothing to be proud of I assure you, for it is merely about levels of influence, not one’s ability to operate in the other levels and planes of consciousness. The real challenge occurs, however, when we encounter entities that are, for all intent and purposes, our etheric equal, or at least consider themselves to be. ‘My equal?’, I hear you exclaim, “but they cannot be my equal because I resonate at a much higher frequency that they do!” Do you? Do you really? That’s very interesting, because the last time I looked, you and I were human beings, living in a dense physical world that resides on and interacts with the astral plane that resonates within the same time and space. Yes, there may be lower levels to the astral world, but there also exists a resonance with our own dense material world too, which means that many of its inhabitants (who are nothing more than disincarnate souls anyway) operate at similar vibrational frequencies; they are merely stuck, lost, trapped or unable to move onwards and upwards to the higher realms. So, let’s get this into perspective. If a complete stranger came over to you in the street and told you to move on what would you do? Well, unless you had some

reason for fear them or their position within society, like a policeman for example, you would tell them politely to go away and leave you alone to your own devises wouldn’t you? Right, and that’s exactly how it works with discarnate beings, unless you are the policeman or hold a higher position (frequency) that they do. Hence, grounding, protection, and processes and procedures for raising one’s frequency, and meditating, dowsing and other alternative practices do not do that, they merely provide access to higher levels of consciousness. Your frequency is the total of all you are as a person. It includes your physical disposition, mental and emotional state (and states), and your evolved level or frequency. You cannot simply change that with good intentions, a quick prayer, a dowsing protocol, a few meditations, a reiki session or a few weekend courses, no matter what the sellers and snake oil salesmen and women may tell you. All evolution, physical, mental and spiritual is a process that occurs over time, and merely thinking good thoughts does not make you a good person. To become so takes a lifetime of thinking good thought, feeling them, believing them, being them, AND behaving towards others in a way that reflects them, consistently and with higher motives and intentions. So, be in no doubt that, without the right protection for the right circumstances (unless you are a low frequency that will by default almost certainly be immune), we are all capable of being interrupted, distracted, deceived and attacked by non-harmonious frequencies. Knowledge, however, is power, and all such challenges can be overcome, once we: 

Know about them



Acknowledge their potential



Know how they operate



Know what they do



Know what they can do



Know what they want



Know their frequency, and



What they fear or will respond to



Know where to get help and assistance when we need it

The real challenge for most novice spiritual workers, channelers, dowsers, psychics or mediums lies in their lack of knowledge, because most will tell you that they have never encountered any problems at all, which tells you more about their own frequency and where they operate than it does about the reality of troublesome entities. The more discerning one becomes, the more one will raise the level of what one does, and by default, start to attract the unwanted attention of the entities that one has either moved away from, or is not giving

acknowledgement to. Remember, that it is not just our own frequency that attracts these things, it can also be the activity that we are engaged in that attracts them, and most spiritual activities do.

THE PROTECTION PROCESS

By understanding that the most common forms of psychic attack are the result of energetic, energy or frequency anomalies that literally infect the human energetic field like a virus, we are better able to acknowledge what needs to be done to halt, extract or repel them; a process better known as psychic protection. Let us also not forget that, whilst all attacks are energetic in nature, the very real pains, anxieties and fears brought about by more psychologically based and motivated attacks are neither to be ignored, nor taken for granted as being purely physical in nature, for they are not. The process of protection, therefore, whilst energetic in nature and intent, should not exclude physical, mental and emotional means, methods and processes of protection. Indeed, a fact unappreciated by many is that prayer (a physical process) is a highly effective means of protection. It concerns itself with both the worldly (physical, mental and emotional) and the unworldly (esoteric and energetic) aspects of protection too, and achieves this through: 

The acknowledgement of the need for protection

 The act of prayer, which indicates belief in the process (mental or psychological)  The physical act of kneeling, holding the hands in prayer and/or speaking the words of the prayer itself  The frequency and intention of the words themselves which are energetic in nature and structure  The mental motive and intention of the individual praying (the real etheric glue) Psychic protection therefore, is a process, not unlike the processes and strategies used in more conventional warfare. The methods and mechanics may differ, but the processes are not that different: 

Hopefully, being on the side of good



Discerning the battles that you can win and those you should not fight



Having a desired outcome or purpose



Having the appropriate mental attitude

 Knowing your enemy (not necessarily personally, but having knowledge of their attitudes, plans and activities) 

Knowing which weapons to use for which fight

 Deploying troops (frequencies) to the right place, in the right numbers and at the right time  Ensuring that troops have adequate protective clothing (your own protection) 

Liaising with the high command as to what is being done



Maintaining a close watch on the battle ground or theatre



Being always vigilant for enemy movements and actions in the future

The protection process, therefore, includes all levels and planes, aspects and characteristics of our being, and to be most effective on all levels and planes, should be mutually inclusive of as many or all of them as possible. This means that to be effectively protected one should consider and cover the physical, mental, emotional, unconscious, and the spiritual levels of ones being.

UNDERSTANDING SUBTLE ENERGIES

Contrary to popular belief, the frequency that some people call the ‘Devil’ is more akin to the term ‘the dark forces’. You will note that the latter term refers to ‘forces’ and not just one single ‘force’. These lower frequencies are not confined to the dark shadows of pure evil as some might see them. The devil and ‘his’ many associative names, is purely an archetype of evil and is not merely a singular entity. These ‘forces’ operates on and within the more negative frequencies, and they are not all wantonly destructive or malevolent. Indeed, many of the lower frequencies that can be harmful to mankind, are nothing more than mere frequencies that are simple not conducive to the wellbeing of the human organism. The more conscious dark forces on the other hand do their greatest work in the many shades of darkness that reach into the gray areas of human greed, ignorance, arrogance, lust, guilt and emotional fear. It is in this regard that its best work is done in terms of trapping, manipulating and infecting human consciousness. It is in the mind of the complacent; those who believe that they are good, worthy, kind, caring and beyond the grasp of darkness, that these low frequencies weave their web of deceit, and have conned and captured the mind of man through his more base nature, thoughts, emotions and behaviour. It is in the halls of the sanctimonious, self-serving, complacent and selfish minds of men that lay the seeds of his most unexpected downfall, for though it all the ‘devil’ (or rather those who would benefit from what ‘he’ has come to represent) has convinced us that ‘he’ does not exist, or that we are somehow immune from ‘his’ grip through our new age beliefs and concepts that would make us cocreators of abundance by sheer desire alone. Many now believe that they are masters over darkness through some divine right (and arrogance by the very statement of being so) ‘working in the light’, whatever that means outside of self-delusion and 21st Century conceit.

It is in moments of arrogance, complacency, self-assuredness, conviction, desire and dogma that our frequency is lowered, and by default attracts like frequencies to us. Working ‘in the light’ may be an admirable desire, belief or indeed truth, but WHERE we are is NOT always WHO we are, for it is elsewhere, in the depths of our fears, delusions, frustrations, anxieties and prejudices that we open the door to links, attachments and negative psychic forces that are attracted to such frequencies. Often the very act of stating such elitist views regarding our assumed level of evolution and spiritual growth can in itself attract the unwanted attention of forces that are literally hell bent upon their attachment to such frequencies of self-assuredness; born always from ego or naivety, and for no other motive than to show how great we are to others. Why else would anyone make such unnecessary, brazen and irresponsible statements in the first place?

Aspects of The Self

It should be appreciated that our mentality, emotionality, physicality and spirituality are all inseparably linked, forged in the furnace of incarnation and hardened by the cool light of human experience. Protection works in stages or phases, and it is quite possible to be protected for spiritual work, like dowsing or healing for example, and yet open to links and attachments from other sources. This is why many healers, having protected themselves before doing their work, find themselves with links or attachments after completing their session. The majority often have no perception of such things, and go gaily about their business passing these links and attachments on to other unsuspecting souls along the way. Psychic attack can be likened to electric shocks. You may not feel the shock from a torch battery even though it has zapped you, albeit mildly, but you would certainly feel a shock from a cattle fence or a car battery. At the other end of the spectrum, place your fingers into an electric light socket and you will be meeting your maker much sooner than you anticipated. The challenge with subtle energy frequencies is that they work covertly, and it takes time to realise that they have penetrated your etheric field. Most people are completely oblivious to this of course, and it is often only when they feel uneasy, restless, tired, in pain or suffering from an unexpected and unusual headache that the signs and signals become more obvious, and even then the

average person will put it down to something else completely, and never do anything about it. Whilst the affects of some links, attachments and thought-form attacks can wear off over a relatively short period of time, some can hang around for weeks, months and even years. Serious attacks can last a lifetime, and result in ongoing and progressive illness and disablement that is never put down to psychic attack. At worse, and thankfully this is very rare in the Western world, serious psychic attack can result in very serious illnesses and even death. We must stress that this is incredible rare, and only in the experience of those who have seriously upset a capable proponent of the black arts.

WHAT IS PROTECTION?

It is our aspects of humanity, or those component parts that go to make up who we are that can be and are attacked, linked or attached to via the etheric field, which acts as a natural barrier to such frequencies. The etheric field is able to resist such attacks to a point, however, our mental, physical and emotional state of being plays an important part in the process, for, like the immune system within the physical body, the etheric field, when weak, broken or punctured, is as vulnerable, not to disease as we know it, but to attacking, linking or attaching energies that can lead to dis-ease at some other time. For protection to work effectively therefore, it should include all aspects of our being - physical (etheric), mental, emotional and spiritual. Probably the most powerful protection that one can use, outside of ritual, comes in the combination of common sense and discernment. I say this, quite simply because the law of attraction operates on all levels and planes of our being, and we therefore act as a magnet only to that with which we resonate, and thus unconsciously, provide open access to. In the real world, however, these aspects of character are not inherently innate and they are skills that are learned over time and through experience. For anyone to believe that they consider themselves to be discerning is in and of itself to show that they are not, for the most discerning individuals would be discerning even about being discerning. Common sense, on the other hand, may make sense, but it is not the most common trait where the subjective subject of spirituality is concerned, so what is it that you need to protect?

THE EMOTIONAL ASPECT

Strong emotions change your frequency and the focus of your mind, and the direction in which your thoughts go. Emotions can empower you and they can disempower you, making you strong, but also leaving you vulnerable to psychic attack. Feelings of tiredness, depression, anxiety, sadness and fear can leave you vulnerable to all sorts of attack, including and especially having your energy drained by others, or what we call psychic vampires. We are at our lowest when we are fearful, and in human terms, probably the most fearful moments of our lives come when we are in danger of or have lost something or someone important to us. It is in these moments of grief and morning that the danger of psychic attack increases. It is also true that people who are overwhelmed by strong negative emotions are more prone to being less realistic or discerning, and are therefore more likely to overreact emotionally, verbally and/or physically. It is in these moments that women can become more prone to self-criticism and judgment, often hurting themselves in the process. Men on the other hand can have a tendency in such situations to judge, criticise and blame others, often hurting them verbally and/or physically. Self-awareness, an open mind and the ability to step outside of ourselves and see things for what they really are is an important personal skill that enables us to see what is happening to us, and to be able to take immediate and corrective action. All negative physical, mental and emotional states and responses lower our defenses and our frequency, and leave us open to a wide range of psychic influences and attacks.

THE PHYSICAL ASPECT

As energetic beings the overall wellbeing of the physical vehicle that enables our physical experience of consciousness is extremely important. Internal biological and neurological imbalances and dis-ease within the system that makes up the human body can affect, not only our overall mental, emotional and physical states, but also our level of protection against all manner of potential psychic attacks. The chemical balance of our physical organism plays a vital role in our perception of the state of consciousness that we commonly refer to as reality. They can also affect our responses and reactions to the whole experience of being. The human body is a complex and magnificent thing, however it is susceptible to all kinds of anomalies due to changing levels of body chemistry. These affects are all too evident when chemical imbalances within the brain create a state of depression for example, and adjustments to the levels of adrenalin, endorphins, hormones and amino acids, and especially peptides which are the chemicals that match the emotions that we experience, can create varying ranges of dis-ease within the system or neurology. If we take sugar as just one example. In many people, sugar is responsible for the overloading or depressing of the entire system, resulting in lethargy and tiredness. A simple addiction to chocolate or anything that contains sugar can develop physiologically into an imbalance of serotonin and endorphins. Whilst both of these body chemicals are associated with pleasure and even a euphoric state, when there is an imbalance within the system, emotional states are affected, and can result in not just lethargy and mood swings, but also irritability and overreaction, constant drowsiness, memory loss, oversleeping and lack of motivation and enthusiasm. With a proper diet, which includes the obvious foods like fruit, vegetables, rice and fibres, and the lowering of sugar intake, the ability to resist psychic attack increases. Physical psychic wellbeing is also affected by other factors such as being overweight and lack of proper and regular exercise. Indeed, it is an interesting contradiction that many channelers, psychics and other self-professed spiritual experts are overweight; often because of their lack of regular physical exercise and/or an imbalance in their diet. You may draw your own conclusions about this. Cigarettes, coffee, alcohol and drugs (including prescription drugs, and particularly antidepressants and tranquilizers) also impair psychic protection, as well as the integrity of information received through mediumistic or channeling activities.

True attunement can only be achieved through a state of optimum physical and mental balance. Charles Leadbeater devoted his entire life to the pursuit of accuracy in clairvoyance, and I recommend a pamphlet that he wrote about this very subject called “Difficulties in Clairvoyance”. Another important aspect of physical psychic attack relates to what some people know more commonly as body zones, otherwise discussed in a practical physical and emotional sense in the science of body language. In terms of psychic attack and subtle energies, we each have three specific psychological zones (they are more psychological than actual) around our body. They are the social zone, the personal zone and the intimate zone. Each zone extends beyond the physical body to the limit to which we are comfortable. The intimate zone for example will be very close because it is as it suggest intimate, however, we only feel comfortable allowing people with whom we share intimate relationships into that perceived space. The personal zone will extend further from the body, usually about 24 inches or more, and the social zone further still. The more aware we are of these zones, or body space, the more will tend to be aware of other people’s energies intruding into them, and the more uncomfortable we will tend to feel. These feelings can act as a warning signal to physical energetic interferences from others. It is not uncommon for some people to be unaware of the space that they take up, or of their unappreciated intrusion into our social zone. These people can make us feel uncomfortable, as though they are literally in our face, so to speak. They seem to have a complete lack of awareness of where their space ends and our space begins, both socially and psychologically. A brief time spent in observing people in social situations will show you how each person treats their own personal (and social) space, and how they instinctively react when those spaces are invaded. When this happens they will show defensive or protective body language signals like folding their arms, turning away slightly, holding a glass, cup or other drink up in front of them to block further intrusion, and even moving back and away from the intruder. In such situations, and from a psychic attack perspective, body language alone is not enough to protect yourself, and it is important to actively participate in creating a protective psychic barrier around you to block their energetic influences. The bubble of light technique discussed later in this book can work well in such situations.

THE SPIRITUAL ASPECT

We are more than the sum of our physical parts and, as what some might call multidimensional beings, our consciousness reaches into all levels and planes of consciousness. The spiritual aspect of protection lies in protecting our nonphysical selves, or that part of our higher consciousness that transcends the denser material plane of Earth. This aspect of us reaches into the higher levels and planes, and by the nature of its energetic makeup is connected and susceptible to all other energies and frequencies with which it connects at an etheric level. Whilst our higher self resides above the Astral plane, our lower self and lower consciousness, which is the mortal mind and personality, roams the lower astral as an astral entity through the astral body. It is this aspect of us together with the lower mental self that requires protection at a spiritual level. Above the lower mental plane there is no need for protection, for at that level, the lower nature no longer exists and the principle of polarity becomes One. At this level, all the inhabitants are basically all good for lesser frequencies are unable to rise to the vibration of levels above the lower mental planes. It is this aspect of spirituality that causes some confusion with new age enthusiasts who incorrectly believe that when they engage in spiritual activity they enter this realm above the lower astral plane. Actually, most of them do not even know the term for these realms and misguidedly believe that the mere act of thinking or believing in “love and light” allows their etheric body automatic access to all levels and planes. In esoteric reality (see Esoteric Anatomy by Hilarion and Elizabeth Rose Howard – Dodopublishing.com) few incarnate human beings are actually able to raise their frequency above the lower mental plane. At best the bulk of ‘spiritual work’ takes place on the lower mental or astral planes where higher beings may lower their frequency to commune with us, but for fewer people than like to think so. Whilst it is not necessarily spiritually politically correct to say this today, most assumed

communication with ‘spirit’ takes place with playful, mischievous, certainly clever and deceitful, and sometimes malevolent lower astral entities. Hence, the exotic variety of new age pseudo spiritual and historically esoterically inaccurate views and beliefs that are held by well intentioned but often misguided individuals. Let us not forget that psychic attack is often more effective for the dark forces when it comes in the guise of misinformation and misdirection, for the deviation of human consciousness from its chosen path is for such energies the most cherished of all prizes.

THE STEPPING STONES OF PROTECTION

Psychic Self Defense, or what is otherwise called Psychic Protection, works on a number of levels. Those levels equate to the frequencies or energies of consciousness that are responsible for generating reality on all levels and planes of consciousness experience.

In the physical, our consciousness experience is manifest through the matrix of perception. That matrix consists of the senses, or sense organs, that input information or data into our brain. That information is fed to us through the senses of smell, taste, touch, sight and sound, including, but is often dormant in many, the ability to ' perceive' through what is know as the sixth sense. In the spiritual world, whilst we do not have physical sense organs as such, our perception is based upon a more complete matrix of perception that, whilst to the initiate or novice spiritual traveler may appear to be sensory based, consists of much more than merely the ability to ' see', 'hear' feel', ‘ taste' or ' touch'. Perception here is more complete and all encompassing, and includes the ability to 'know' all things through, amongst other things, telepathy for example. Our primary concentration in matters relating to Psychic Protection in the physical (in terms of being human and performing such activities in a physical sense) lies in the use of our primary senses, as well as our ability to perceive at a more psychic level. These factors form what I call the psychic glue that cements everything together to generate a whole, complete, and therefore more coherent, focused and effective frequency or defense. The entire process of protection relies upon a number of tools, techniques and strategies that work together to create what is in effect, a holistic approach to psychic protection.

THE STEPPING STONES TO PROTECTION

1.

VISUALIZATION - the internal seeing of that which we desire to create

2. VERBALIZATION - the words and chants that we use to generate psychic energies 3. BELIEF SYSTEMS - these form both the conscious and unconscious experience that creates a sense of certainty and a positively desired outcome to our intentions 4. KINESTHETICS - the sense of touch and feeling that bond our sense of reality to the intention. This is often achieved through physical actions or rituals, for example. 5. GUSTATORY - even taste (although often ignored) provides a sense of reality and validity to psychic experiences

6. OLFACTORY - smell especially, provides impetus to our sense of reality, and has a powerful effect upon our perception, and memory. A partial reason for burning incense, eucalyptus, frankincense, juniper, lavender, peppermint and pine, etc. All of which have protective properties. 7. PROPS - some people benefit psychologically from the use of props to aid their experience of the process of protection. These are common in the magical arts for example, and are prevalent within the process of ritualistic magic. Props include, candles, amulets, talismans, crucifixes, incense, the Athame or ritual knife, mirrors and other such things. 8. SPIRITUAL ASSISTANCE - this often comes in the form of a protector, or what some people refer to a their gatekeeper, but also includes spirit guides, ascended masters and angels, as well as our own higher self, and even God, or what we perceive as our internal association or a representation of the God, All That is, The Light etc. 9. OBJECTIVE MENTAL TOOLS - which quite simply include discernment and common sense, which unfortunately cannot be learned, bought or borrowed and are only earned through time and experience. You can discover more about discernment from http://www.discerningofspirits.com. 10. KARMA - There are certain aspects to our individual Karma that can be ascertained through Sidereal Astrology (not Tropical Astrology). These aspects show the individual's propensity for psychic attack, and their inherent level of Karmic protection from it. I recommend this as a starting point, because the information is written in your birth chart, and no-one can misinterpret this or tell you otherwise, as long as they work with Sidereal astrology, which is “The Astrology of Reincarnation” (see The Astrology of Reincarnation by Hilarion and Elizabeth Rose Howard www.dodopublishing.com), unlike the astrology of the tropical system that is more commonly used for more earthly interpretations, like daily horoscopes. Such information from the Sidereal system is also highly valuable in determining the level of protection required, and or the Karmic lessons that need to be learned to alter it. Whilst not all ten stepping-stones need to be in place nor are they absolutely necessary to generate adequate protection, some are more important than others. There is also the aspect of personal preference, which enables the process to work better because it feels right, or fits for you. We would therefore, suggest 1, 2, 3, 8, and 9 to be of primary importance, however some people feel more comfortable visualizing that others, whilst others prefer to speak or sing, using prayers or chants for example. Other people may find themselves unable to visualize and may prefer to concentrate upon the feelings that they get or that they desire to experience in their intentions and outcomes. I recommend that you find what works best for you and then use it to your advantage by generating some pretty effective sensory rich experiences to compliment your protection methods and processes.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AND PROTECTION

Whilst effective psychic protection techniques and processes can be used generically for most normal everyday psychic attack situations, we are all different, and we each perceive the world and our experiences of it very differently. For that reason, and whilst the techniques that I have included do work and have been tried and tested over many years, it is important that you find what works best for you. Above all, remember K.I.S.S., which stands for ‘keep it simple stupid.’ There are many complicated, ritualistic and time consuming protection techniques, and most of them are more for the benefit of the individual’s sense of need for ritual and process than anything else. Whilst psychological acceptance and belief in a process is very important, when you are being attacked, the last thing you need to do is to get out a manual on self-defense and read it. There is no point before or during an attack that you can ask the attacking energy to stop whilst you prepare yourself, and most psychic attacks happen before you know it, so it is too late. There is absolutely no need what-so-ever, other than out of personal preference and desire, for suitable psychic protection techniques to be ritualistic, long, drawn out or complicated. Whilst there is a valid place for ritual, it is unnecessary for everyday protection needs. The simpler the protection method, the easier it is to remember, to implement and to call upon if and when you actually need it. Ultimately, there is nothing more effective than protecting yourself when you wake up in the morning and when you go to bed each evening. Doing so with the right method or methods will, for the most part, provide you with all the protection that you will ever need. If you require anything stronger, then you can accommodate for that by using a stronger method or technique. It is simply a case of finding what works for you in relation to your own individual needs for a specific kind of protection. For the average person, morning and night protection is quite suitable and sufficient. For a dowser or alternative practitioner, for example, then there will be other needs at different times, and for someone doing soul retrieval or spirit release work, something more altogether. By finding what works for you and for your own needs, and by perfecting it so that it is automatic and quick to employ, it will be there as, if and when you need it.

I suggest that you use the methods in this book if you have nothing else, or if your own protection methods are insufficient, but that you continue to monitor, evaluate and update your protection as and when necessary. If you are a dowser, then this will be relatively easy and straightforward for you to accomplish. If not, and you have no alternative method of doing so, then learning to dowse properly would be one very practical solution for that. You can find out more about dowsing at www.TheBritishCollegeofDowsing.org where you will find a range of resources and opportunities to help you to learn more about subtle energies.

THE RIGHT SPACE IN THE RIGHT PLACE

All forms of higher level consciousness work are best done with your head is in the right place and your physical body is in the right space in which to relax, focus, concentrate and create the right energetic frequencies with which to work. For you purposes such a space should be cleared of all negative associations and unwanted influences. It would also help if you can clear the space energetically in order to protect it from any unwanted energies and frequencies. Ideally, it

should be free from electromagnetic frequencies like televisions and audio equipment as well.

GROUNDING

Grounding is akin to an electrician wearing rubber boots. It keeps you ‘ earthed’ to the dimension in which you are meant to be operating and residing. A grounding technique is a tool that can be used to help you to 'ground' yourself, and in so doing, keep you in the present. There are a variety of reasons for this, not least that being ungrounded can warp your sense of reality, making you feel spaced out or feeling numb, as if in a dream. Being ungrounded can seem as if you have lost touch with the present environment for some reason, and can be disorientating and uncomfortable to say the least. Grounding helps us to avoid such experiences and to remain in total control and aware of ourselves, our surroundings and our link with reality, the present, and current time and space at all times. Grounding represents a bigger problem to most spiritually inclined individuals as a first line of defense, more than protection believe it or not, and lack of proper grounding or sense of reality, can lead to a number of challenges, including being more open to psychic attack. It can also lead to a serious lack of observational common sense, perspective and comprehension of reality. When you hear or see someone who considers themselves to be spiritual, sounding, acting, thinking, reacting or behaving illogically, the odds are that they are ungrounded. By way of example, working with some crystals can lead to being ungrounded, especially crystals that open the crown chakra, such as Selenite and Moldavite. Meditation, healing work, dowsing and any form of psychic activity can lead to un-groundedness (if there is such a word) or being ungrounded (that’s better). It is worthy of note that most alternative spiritual activities promote and encourage grounding whilst at the same time, for the most part, completely ignoring psychic protection. Is it any wonder that the new age movement seems to have more than the usual number of people who think and behave in ways that one could be forgiven for thinking was ‘out there’, ‘off the wall’, ‘weird and wacky’? Most of them have lost their common sense of reality for a number of reasons, including being ungrounded and even being linked into or attached to subtle energies that feed off of them. You will probably know that there is a very close link between the root and the heart chakras, one (the root) being symbolic of physical incarnation, and the

other (the heart chakra) being symbolic of the beginning of spiritual development. One of the great temptations of spirituality is the opportunity to escape from practical responsibilities, relationships and more down to earth, physical reality, often caused by the imbalance between the lower and higher chakras, caused by opening up the higher chakras whilst neglecting the lower ones. This is what we (the British College of Dowsing) refer to as having a foot in two worlds, and it is a state in which individuals, so attracted to spiritually appealing concepts and ideals, prefer to embrace the possibilities of sugar and spice and all things nice, which are extremes, and completely unworldly. This causes them to be ungrounded and unrealistic about almost everything, including and especially spirituality unfortunately, for although their ideals may be wonderful dreams, they are part of the problem and not the solution in everyday real world matters that spiritually requires us to deal with, and not hide, from. By contrast, the true ambassadors of spirituality like Jesus and the saints, for example, whilst being highly spiritual, were pragmatic and down to earth people who had great understanding of the importance of being grounded and realistic. They provide valuable practical examples for us, and show that spirituality does not mean ignoring what is in effect the ‘real’ (incarnate) world. In doing so they became part of the solution and did not add to the problem by avoiding the responsibilities of the flesh. Grounding, therefore, protects us in its own way from being opened up indiscriminately and vulnerably to unwanted, unhealthy and unsuitable energies. All processes of protection, therefore, should be preceded by a suitable grounding technique.

STAYING GROUNDED

There are as many grounding processes as there are people who practice them. Almost everyone who engages in alternative practices has their own method, and over time you will come across numerous people advising you to do it their way, and telling you that their way is best. I have no allegiances nor personal agendas where any of this is concerned, merely and more importantly, your safety and protection in mind. For that reason alone I would strongly urge you to do three things where grounding and protection are concerned. 1. Trust me until you have found a better way for yourself – assuming that you do not already have one

2. Don't ever change what works for you. If what you are doing works well then there is no logical reason to change it 3. Continually strive to improve upon everything, including your protection form your own experience Below is probably one of the most basic but effective grounding techniques that you can use. I still use this process after over 20 years. I have never felt the need, not more importantly, had any reason to change it because, regardless of the odd psychic attack, I have never felt ungrounded or detached from real and present time after performing thousands of dowsing sessions and many distance exorcisms. I have had run-ins with some very bad frequencies and my grounding has never let me down to this day. So, unless you find a better way for yourself, this grounding exercise should be more than adequate, and you should never need to change it. Try not to be put off by its simplicity because in my experience it simply is the best grounding technique. It is easy to remember, easy to perform, quick and totally effective. My Recommended Grounding Technique This technique has two ways of being expressed or visualized, so I have provided both methods for you to select the one suits you the best. They are also available on audio at http://www.psychicselfdefence.com.

Method 1 Sit comfortably in a place where you will be able to relax, uninterrupted for a few minutes. Fix both feet firmly on the ground about 14 inches apart and taking in a deep, relaxing breath, slowly exhale. Repeat this breathing process three or four times, and as you do, imagine as you breath in that you are breathing in clear, positive, healing light and energy from above you, and down through your Crown Chakra (top of the head). As you exhale, imagine that you are exhaling all the negative, stale and unwanted energy from within you. You may imagine exhaling it down and into the earth if that feels comfortable to you. Having completed three or four breaths, continue breathing slowly and deeply, and imagine (visualize) that both your feet have thick roots growing from them, stretching down into the ground, firmly connecting you with the earth. Now imagine a third root sprouting from your base Chakra and growing down into the earth, forming a perfect triangle with the first two roots from your feet. Hold on to this image for as long as comfortable and easy for you and feel the roots as they anchor your entire being solidly and immovably into the Earth. Bring your consciousness away from those images and feelings and forget them. Now take in one more deep breath, exhale and relax.

You should now be grounded.

Method 2 Sit comfortably. Fix both feet firmly on the ground about 14 inches apart and take in a deep breath, then slowly exhale. Repeat this breathing process three or four times and as you do, imagine as you breath in that you are breathing in clear positive healing light and energy from above you, and down through your Crown Chakra. As you exhale, imagine that you are exhaling all the negative, stale and unwanted energy from within you. You may imagine exhaling it down and into the earth if that feels comfortable to you. Having completed three or four breaths, continue breathing slowly and deeply, and imagine (visualize) that strong, earthy roots are emerging from the ground and growing stretching up and around your ankles, connecting you firmly but comfortably with the earth. Now imagine a third strong, earthy root sprouting from the ground and up towards your Base Chakra (tailbone). Imagine the root growing until it eventually connects with and embraces your Base chakra, wrapping itself firmly around it, and grounding you still further to the earth, and growing down into the earth, forming a perfect triangle with the first two roots from your feet. Hold on to this image for as long as comfortable and easy for you, and feel the roots as they anchor your entire being solidly and immovably to the Earth. Bring your consciousness away from those images and feelings, and forget them. Now take in one more deep breath, exhale and relax, bringing yourself beck into real and present time and into the room in which you are sitting. You should now be grounded. Sorry, if you were expecting something earth shattering, complicated, exotic or mysterious! Often the simple ways are the best, so unless you find something better for you, I can think of no reason for giving your anything other than what in my experience works well.

HOW TO CLEAR A SPACE

Clearing any space (including, rooms, houses, cars, caravans and boats etc.) can be done relatively easily with a simple visualization technique, however you can also use clear crystals, sounds (rattling), plants and symbols, smudging (incense burners) or even a pendulum, and of course Tibetan Bowls. From a practical point of view, a simple visualization technique is much easier, however, some people prefer ritual and process which sill include any one or more of the latter methods. You will almost certainly prefer to use your own system, but if you do not already have one, then I have provided a couple of processes that I use to clear spaces, including cars etc. The first technique is a dowsing process, so if you do not dowse then you may wish to skip this and move on to the second process. If you decide that you would like to learn to dowse, then quite obviously I can assist you with that (The Dowsing Companion by David Green – ISBN: 978-14710-6878-2), however, it is not necessary for the purposes of protection at this stage, and the second method should serve you just as well. The benefit of being

able to dowse is that it can be a practical troubleshooting and diagnostic tool for psychic protection, as well as giving us a very practical tool for confirming that our protection is suitably in place. The downside to using dowsing, is that one needs to have achieved a reasonable level of skill to be able to trust both the sources, and the integrity of the information that one receives, and that takes time and practice.

THE DOWSING SPACE CLEARING TECHNIQUE

ALWAYS GROUND AND PROTECT YOURSELF FIRST! From a dowsing perspective, it is important to receive permission for all work undertaken, and I have found that the ‘can I, may I should I ‘ approach tends to cover all potential eventualities and reasonable circumstances. What I mean by this is that starting a session by asking “ Can I, may I, should I (whatever it is that I am intending to dowse),” tends to cover all eventualities in terms of permissions, and therefore gives me the most reliable go ahead. For the purpose of clearing any space, it is helpful to ascertain the level of negativity of any frequency or energy within a specific space first. This provides some idea of what one is working with and working to clear. It is also very useful to know for the purpose of clearing it with the use of the pendulum when using the anticlockwise clearing method over the numerical chart that is used specifically for this purpose. The wording that I use is as follows: “ I ask that this space be cleared of all non-beneficial energies that are in any way detrimental to all living things, both seen or unseen, for the duration of my (length and purpose of your use of that space) within it, and I give thanks that this is done.“

By swinging the pendulum in a circular anticlockwise motion whist speaking those words aloud, the process works to remove such frequencies from within the given and specifically referred to space. Allow the pendulum to swing in the anticlockwise circular motion for as long as the pendulum needs to, and do not be tempted to stop or shorten the time of the swinging. When the pendulum eventually ceases to swing in the circular motion, check to confirm that the space has indeed been cleared of all negative and or harmful frequencies and energies. Finally, swing the pendulum in a clockwise circular motion and speak aloud the following as is swings: “ I ask that all voids, holes, spaces and gaps created by the removal of this energy be filled with holy love and healing light.’ Allow the pendulum to swing for as long as necessary. Once the pendulum has ceased to swing, check once more that the clearing exercise has been completed successfully. Assuming that to be the case, the space should now be cleared.

THE VISUALIZATION SPACE CLEARING TECHNIQUE

You can of course, simply recite the wording from the previous dowsing clearing process, while at the same time visualizing the process unfolding, but always remember to ground and protect yourself first. Below is a visualization space clearing exercise that I use and teach to my students. It is also available as an audio on the PsychicSelfDefence.com web site, should you prefer to complete the process whilst listening to the instructions. Position yourself comfortably in an upright chair and carry out your grounding exercise first. Then protect yourself using your own method or the one described in this book – ideally the Bubble of Light method. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths, relaxing yourself and empty your mind completely. As you continue to breath deeply but comfortably, imagine a tightly knit web of golden light (like a net of some kind) stretching across the entire side of one end of the space that you wish to clear.

As you concentrate your focus and intent upon the clearing energies of the web of tightly knit golden light, imagine it moving slowly and smoothly from where it is, across the space, drawing with it all unwanted and non beneficial energies and frequencies as it travels through, across and within the space to be cleared. Allow this process to unfold calmly, slowly and naturally, as the web attracts and draws into it all of the non-beneficial energies and frequencies. When the web of golden light has completed its sweep of the space, see it folding itself around all of the energies that it has collected until it has them sealed within its grasp. Upon the completion of this process, see what has now become a round ball of netting moving from your space and out into the ether beyond. As it does so, say the worlds, “I ask that all negative and non-beneficial energies collected by my golden web of light be taken to an appropriate place in the universe to be harmonized and transmuted, never to return, and I give thanks that that is done.” As you speak those words visualize them happening, and feel the sense of relief, release and harmony that has been left behind in your cleared and cleansed space.

PROTECTING THE EMOTIONAL ASPECT

As we have seen, everyone has a basic level of natural protection, and it is often merely their thinking, habits, behaviour and the environments into which they place themselves that put the average person at any risk of psychic attack. It is often merely a process of attraction that causes links, attachments and other forms of psychic attack, and that is something that a basic protection mechanism and some common sense will always help you to avoid. There is however, no replacement for good old-fashioned common sense, a little bit of discernment, and knowing your own limitations. Common sense simply comes, more often that not, by listening to our inner voice, or what is also called our intuition. I cannot tell you the number of times that I have spoken with or assisted people who, after the event, say something like, ‘I had a feeling about that and didn’t take any notice of it’, or ‘something

told me not to go there and I didn’t listen,’ or ‘It felt wrong all along but I didn’t want to cause waves.’ Emotions are an important part of human experience, but when they disempower us, or place us in the path of danger or experiences that we would rather avoid, then they are not the kind of emotions that serve us best. There is a one to one relationship between a positive self-esteem and empowering decisions and behaviour, and the reverse is unfortunately also true. It is all too often the case that the more emotionally challenged or incompetent an individual is, the more likely they are to find themselves facing moments of personal challenge in one form or another. This is equally true where subtle energies and dominant, possessive and controlling human frequencies are concerned. The human organism is a complex and highly advanced life form, and consciousness is perhaps the most amazing concept and reality of all. Our entire experience of consciousness, or being aware of our own being, on all levels and planes, is available to us through the miracle and magic of the unconscious mind. It forms the bridge between all that we think we know, and all that we really know, but cannot necessarily remember. It also links us to the unlimited potential that is all that is. Our inner voice exists for a reason. The deep unconscious is responsible, amongst other things, for our survival. It accumulates vast amounts of data about almost everything that we as an organism experience; especially what it associates with your wellbeing or threats to it. The unconscious mind stores that information for future use, and when it identifies any situation, circumstance, event, experience or association that it registers with danger in any way, it warns us. The alarm bells and red lights of our organism are the uneasy feelings we get from time to time; feelings that displease us, or that make us feel hesitant, reluctant, wary, cautions, doubting or even overly alert in some way. A racing heart, a thumping pulse, sweaty palms, a paler complexion, feelings of nausea, or a sudden increase in our awareness of our surroundings and circumstances are all signs that our organism is in some way being threatened, and that it requires us to take action to avoid or prevail over the perceived threat. This is no different to a red warning light flashing on the dashboard of a car, telling us that if we continue to drive, our car is going to be in danger of breaking down. We would never dream of ignoring such a flashing light on our car, so why ignore our own early warning system? Actually, people ignore their early warning system for a number of reasons, and as usual, all originate in fear of some kind. The most common are: 

Fear of looking silly

 Fear of letting someone down by changing our mind about something to do with where we are or what we are doing with them 

Lack of self esteem, so we ‘go with the flow’ to avoid standing out



Fear of reprisal for changing something or changing our mind

 Justifying not doing anything by blaming it on our just being silly, over sensitive or unnecessarily anxious All of the above often come down to lack of self-esteem and self-confidence, but sometimes they are simply because of an act of selfish pleasure and not wanting to change what is, because we are enjoying ourselves. Emotions exist for a reason, especially the not so nice or uncomfortable ones that are warning us of an imbalance somewhere in our sphere of experience. Social conditioning has a lot to do with our ignoring these warning signs, and it is important to overcome this by listening more often to them and learning what they mean, and where they lie on the scale of danger signals, for some are mild warnings, whilst others can save your life. It is important to face these issues, for to ignore them leaves us pray to anyone or anything that decides to pull our strings on any level and plane of your being.

A NOTE ABOUT FEAR Fear is the most basic implement of the dark forces and lower frequencies, simply because they resonate with it, and as such it is their friend, but not least because it is the most effective tool for working against the mind of man. Fear undermines every level and plane of a person’s experience, as well as their level of protection because it lowers resistance, degrades accurate perception and often impedes one’s ability to respond quickly, decisively and resourcefully. It is only often through experience or specific training in the context of dealing with a particular fear that most people are ever able to deal with it, and even then, many merely learn to cope. Fear could often be said to be a reaction to that for which we are either unprepared or have no understanding. Fear is commonly referred to as ‘False Expectations Appearing Real’, however, I have coined the phrase that I believe to be more appropriate in terms of the perceptions and the outcomes of it:

Fear is a Falsely Exaggerated Anxiety Reaction - David Green I believe this acronym to be more accurate, and certainly more specific to psychic attack, because there is nothing ‘appearing real’ about it. Psychic attack is as real as electricity, and just as harmful. The challenge with fear, is that it can create an anxiety reaction that debilitates logical, coherent and effective thought, and in so doing open us up on all levels and planes of our being to that which we fear.

In dealing with fear in a more esoteric context, it is knowledge and experience that can aid us the most, for they come from a level of knowing that is certain to us. Knowledge is a great dispeller of fear, for it is through knowledge that we gain an understanding that provides a measure of equality through knowing one’s enemy, their tactics, their strengths and weaknesses. The greatest weakness of psychic attack is its illusions, for it works on levels and planes that require belief IN IT through fear OF IT. By understanding the nature or subtle energies, how they operate, what drives them and what divides them, fear turns into respectful appreciation for their existence and a healthy regard for their potential to impact upon the human organism. This, in turn leads to strategies to avoid or protect one’s self from them. Perhaps the greatest challenge with more traditional human motivated and created psychic attack, is that one’s ability to defend oneself against it will be in direct proportion to one’s level of knowledge and experience as compared to one’s attacker. This is particularly so of dark arts attacks, which is why victims tend to seek out the assistance of and equivalently experienced occultist, magician, psychic or witch for example. Fear can be our friend as well of course, for it is merely nature’s way of warning us of that which could harm us in some way. By respecting fear, and the warnings that it brings, we are better able to conquer fear through knowledge and understanding of what it signifies, and learning skills to combat it. Fear, therefore, waits for those who lack understanding and remain powerless through their inability to take action to avoid or master it. This is yet another illusions inside the matrix in which fear hides and plays games with our consciousness.

THE POWER OF BELIEF

Whilst there is more to psychic protection that mere belief alone, one should not discount the power of this human capacity for acknowledging and embracing this life- changing aspect of psychological certainty and what is possible. Beliefs are the fundamental principles upon which we live our lives. They are the aspects of living with which we associate certainty and they are core to who we are, what matters to us and how we live our existence. Belief is the foundation

upon which we build our entire framework of reality, for they inform us about what reality is, or rather, what we believe to be real. For someone who believes that the earth is flat, for example, the entire experience of living would be fundamentally different to believing that the earth is round. If you did not believe that the sun is going to rise tomorrow, then what would be the point of waking or getting up in the morning? For the person who believes in God, their experience of the world is going to be different to the person who does not. A belief that is firmly held and associated within the context of anything empowers it greatly, and what we believe, we ultimately conceive in our lives. A belief, as with all strong emotional thoughts, floods our entire nervous system and every cell in our body with its own very special chemical reaction. The hypothalamus is a chemical producing factory. It produces chemicals to match every strong emotion that we have. When released, those chemicals flow through the neuro-nets and then into every cell in our body. When replicated through reinforced and consistent repetition, the cells when they reproduce, do so with more receptors for those chemicals. In extreme cases we can literally become addicted to an individual chemical, demanding that the body reproduces more and more of it. Imagine the additional supporting benefits of truly believing that you are protected, assuming that you do not deliberately place yourself in harms way, without complimenting such a belief with adequate and suitable protection methods. Such a belief could add something more to your protection by removing fear, which in itself damages the process of protection. Common sense should of course always prevail, and whilst belief is in no way a replacement for adequate personal protection, it certainly is a worthy ally in the fight against negative forces that rely upon fear to weaken our defenses and our resolve. Perhaps more powerful than simply believing that you are protected, is to include within that belief a mentor or guide that you believe is protecting you like God, Jesus (the Christ consciousness) or Archangel Michael for example. For any belief to work effectively, it should have clear, experienced and reinforced evidence procedures that provide personal experience of its validity.

CREATING AN EMPOWERING BELIEF

Beliefs are like the fruits of a tree. The roots hold the tree firmly in place, grounded and resistant to anything that would attempt to displace it. Beliefs have roots too. They are the validating experiences that prove them to be true. The more validating experiences we have, the more firmly the belief is rooted in our mind, and the more we will tend to live by and act out that belief in our life. To have empowering protection beliefs, we first need to create them, so where none already exist, or where you would like to increase the power of them, we need to actively engage ourselves in the process of creating empowering beliefs. I have developed some additional resources to assist you with this, and they can be found at http://www.PsychicSelfDefence.com/book-resources.html

PROTECTING THE PHYSICAL ASPECT

Introduction

The physical aspects of protection concern themselves with your physical safety from an energetic perspective. That will include yourself, your environment and any physical amenities and or vehicles that your body may from time to time utilize (your car, your home, your office or place of work, caravans, boats etc.).

PROTECTING YOUR BODY

The most obvious forms of practical protection for the physical body is to avoid alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, caffeine and unnatural chemicals in general. Synthetic clothing and perfume also disrupt the natural defenses, as does placing chemicals on the skin. We live in the real world, and to avoid all of these things all of the time is impractical, and almost impossible, so common sense should prevail in these matters. At the end of the day the best that most of us can hope to achieve is a state of relative balance, and in my experience moderation in all things tends to serve us well. You may also be interested to know that silk has been associated with protection from evil spirits for centuries, although I have no personal experience of the accuracy of this belief. From a less physical perspective, protecting the body through more psychic means can be achieved in many ways, including flower essences and crystals for example, and we have provided some recommendations of flower essences in the resources section of this the web site that accompanies this book (psychicselfdefence.com) In more psychic practical terms, however, we offer in the next chapters, what works for us (the British College of Dowsing), and we make no apology, nor excuses for the lack of variety of processes and procedures, because our intention is to keep everything as realistic, usable, simple and practical for you

as possible. Ultimately, through use and experience, you will find what works best for you, and you may even develop some of your own highly successful processes and techniques that you feel to be more appropriate for your own individual needs.

PRAYERS AND PROTECTION REQUESTS

I (David) always start any protection process with the following words, and you may like to consider using them for yourself. “Thank you Heavenly Father for surrounding me with your love you light and your protection on all levels and planes of my being and for the duration of… (for whatever period is appropriate for the request, and or for whatever purpose the protection is to be used for), and I give thanks that this is done.” I have no idea why, but those words provide me with a deep inner sense of knowing and comfort that I am protected, almost in advance of being protected, if that makes any sense at all? There are a few very simple, and yet highly effective prayers or requests of higher forces for protection that, in our experience, work very well in an emergency. We have included them here for your general information because they are easy to remember and quick to use when required. No 1 Thank you heavenly father for surrounding me with your love, your light and your protection. No 2 Thank you heavenly father for surrounding me with your love, your light and your protection on all levels and planes of my being, and for the duration of this (whatever period or process, like dowsing for example) and for all periods beyond for which such protection is necessary. No 3 There is one prayer that you will almost certainly know by heart, and its original intention was that of protection. It is the Lord’s Prayer, however, we would advise missing out the last few words, which are ‘the power and the glory, for ever and

ever amen.’ These words were added by Elizabeth Tudor (Henry VIII’s daughter), and they change the original frequency of the prayer. Whilst the Lord’s Prayer has indeed been changed down through the ages, and is today, very different from its original form, it still retains much of the original motives and intentions; and by default therefore, the frequencies as well. If you are really keen to use the original words of Jesus, then you can find them on the next page, in both English and Aramaic.

THE ORIGINAL LORD’S PRAYER

Jesus' Original Intention for The Lord's Prayer Jesus' Original Intention for the Lord's Prayer was this: Oh Thou, from whom the breath of life comes, who fills all realms of sound, light and vibration. May Your light be experienced in my utmost holiest. Your Heavenly Domain approaches. Let Your will come true - in the universe (all that vibrates) just as on earth (that is material and dense). Give us wisdom (understanding, assistance) for our daily need, detach the fetters of faults that bind us, (karma) like we let go the guilt of others. Let us not be lost in superficial things (materialism, common temptations), but let us be freed from that what keeps us from our true purpose. From You comes the all-working will, the lively strength to act, the song that beautifies all and renews itself from age to age. Sealed in trust, faith and truth

Jesus version of the Lord's Prayer- transliteration in Aramaic "This, then, is how you should pray:" ~Jesus, Matt 6:9 Avvon d-bish-maiya, nith-qaddash shim-mukh.

Tih-teh mal-chootukh. Nih-weh iw-yanukh: ei-chana d'bish-maiya: ap b'ar-ah. Haw lan lakh-ma d'soonqa-nan yoo-mana. O'shwooq lan kho-bein: ei-chana d'ap kh'nan shwiq-qan l'khaya-ween. Oo'la te-ellan l'niss-yoona: il-la pa-an min beesha. Mid-til de-di-lukh hai mal-choota oo khai-la oo tush-bookh-ta l'alam al-mein. Aa-meen

THE BUBBLE OF LIGHT

In providing this protection meditation I have assumed that the space in which you are going to perform this exercise has been cleared of all unwanted and nonbeneficial energies. Find a quiet place where you can relax, undisturbed with no distractions or interruptions for just a few minutes. You can perform this exercise lying down or seated, whichever you prefer, although we would recommend that you sit up, as there is always the risk of falling asleep during this protection meditation. Once you have arranged yourself comfortably and you are ready to begin, commence this process by grounding yourself before doing anything else. Ask that you be surrounded with healing light and protection on all levels and planes of your being throughout the duration of this meditation, and give thanks that that is done for an on behalf of your self on all levels and planes of your being.

As you sit comfortably, take in a deep breath and slowly exhale, allowing all of the stresses and strains of the day to melt away to an appropriate place in the universe. Continue breathing deeply, but comfortably for a few moments and allow yourself to relax. As you drift into a calm and more relaxed state of mind and being, imagine that any residual unwanted energy is being drawn away and beyond your space by a powerful universal energy that simply sucks it up and away from your current surroundings. As this occurs in the peripheries of your vision, imagine that you are being enveloped in a beautiful, warm and protective white cloak of healing and loving light. Imagine this light gently enfolding itself around your space until is has created a sealed capsule of brilliant, bright, white light, protecting your from any intrusions or unwanted frequencies and energies. As you rest quietly, calmly and relaxed within this cocoon of restful serenity and protection, you feel utterly safe, protected and secure in the knowledge that nothing and no-one can psychically or energetically penetrate the defenses that you now have in place around you. Feel the great sense of security that you experience, and the sheer restful pleasure that fills your entire being as you know that you are free from all noxious, non-beneficial and unwanted frequencies and energies. As you rest here in this moment, realise that you can recreate this experience and the protection that it brings, in any moment, in any place and at any time, by simply repeating this process in your mind. Now allow your focus to return to real and present time, The audio for this meditation is available at: http://www.psychicselfdefence.com/book-psychic-self-defence.html

THE LESSER BANISHING RITUAL PRAYER

This prayer, or ritual is an invocation for help form the Archangels. The key to its power lies in the true intention and motive for its use, which should always be a genuine call for help from the Archangels, and it should not be used for day-today purposes. To do so without due need under serious circumstances of psychic attack merely renders it a prayer of lip service, which will fail to produce the desired result. A similar prayer for protection from Archangel Michael would be advised for daily use, and I have provided it for you in the next section. The lesser banishing ritual prayer originates from a Jewish prayer, The Kabbalistic Cross, however, it has been adapted to higher frequencies in more recent times by the inclusion of different terminologies and archetypes. First imagine drawing a circle of white light of protection around you on the ground, anywhere from between 2 and 6 feet from your body, depending upon the space in which you find yourself at the time. Having done that, and having fully and with sensory richness, visualized the white light of protection being drawn around you, state aloud (or to yourself if necessary) the following prayer, visualizing the archangels at the four cardinal points North, South, East and West.

In front of me, Archangel Uriel, Behind me, Archangel Raphael, To my right Archangel Michael, To my left, Archangel Gabriel, Above me, in my centre, and below me, the presence of God The prayer was changed in the 19th Century by The Order of The Golden Dawn and constituted a more complex ritual process, which I will not deal with in this book. Needless to say, it is the intention that matters and the process of protecting yourself from all directions with the light of God in all his forms. You can further enhance the power of this prayer using colours within your imagery. To do this: 

Raphael is emerald green



Gabriel is blue



Michael is red



Uriel is purple

The above prayer is in fact derived from the original to be found in the Kriat Shema, which is a collection of Jewish prayers. It is also known in Western Magick as The lesser Banishing Ritual of The Pentagram. I have included one version of it below.

“ To my right Michael and to my left Gabriel, In front of me Uriel and behind me Raphael, And over my head God’s Shekhinah.”

I refer you to something that I said at the beginning of this book about keeping things simple. Using colours is all to the good, as long as you have no difficulty with complicating the process, and feel confident that you will remember it in a crisis. When in doubt, keep it simple!

PRAYER FOR PROTECTION FROM ARCHANGEL MICHAEL

Archangel Michael is the frequency that has been used for protection for centuries. The association with protection and Archangel Michael goes back into the Hebrew texts where, in the Hebrew Bible, the book of Daniel refers to him as “the prince of the first rank”, and "great prince who stands up for the children of your people". In the New Testament Michael is associated with leading God’s armies against Satan’s forces. Throughout history Archangel Michael has been associated with protection, and in terms of the mere power of the thought-forms associated with that guiding principle, his frequency holds much power in combatting the dark forces. A variation on the theme of the Lesser Banishing Ritual, this prayer to Archangel Michael is a simple prayer, requesting his protection to be placed all around you. It can be used at any time, but is best used when you awake in the morning, as needed during the day (if necessary, which is unlikely) and last thing at night before going to sleep. I would like to thank my dear friend Rebecca Clemons who was originally instrumental in introducing me to this version.

Michael the Angel in front of me, Behind me, Above me, Below me,

To my left, To my right, And in my centre. Once again, you can use the appropriate colours for the four angels if you feel comfortable in doing so.

PROTECTING THE AURA

The process of protection works by increasing our frequency, however, to increase the frequency on one level and not the others, merely means that the chain is as strong as its weakest link. Protecting the aura can be achieved in a number of ways: 1. Using Flower Essences. If you can obtain them from a reliable source as most flower essences these days don’t do what it says on the tin. We have provided some resources for you on the web site. 2. Visualization or guided imagery, which is something that virtually everyone can do reasonably well with a little assistance, and the power of imagery, should not be underestimated. 3. Mantras or spoken words of intent. Words and sounds have their own vibrational frequency and they are very effective in generating energy fields and protective frequencies. 4. The use of certain crystals, however this is something that we would strongly recommend avoiding. All crystals have their own individual frequency, and unless you are able to measure these with great accuracy (with dowsing, for example) using the wrong one can be very harmful to your body and your etheric field. In any event, the bubble of light meditation will provide your aura with more than adequate protection.

THE BUDDHIST MANTRA

Om Mani Padme Hum Known as The Mantra of Compassion, Om Mani Padme Hum, is pronounced by Tibetans. ‘ Om Mani Peme Hung. ‘ It embodies the compassion and blessing of all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and it invokes especially the blessing of Avalokitesvara (Goddess of Mercy), the Buddha of Compassion. This mantra has considered the essence of the Buddha's compassion for all beings, and it frees all sentient beings from sufferings of the different realms of samara (meaning karma, death, rebirth). The teachings explain that each of the six syllables of the mantra - Om Mani Padme Hum (the pronunciation) has a specific and potent effect in bringing about transformation at different levels of our being. The six syllables purify completely the six poisonous negative emotions identified by Buddhism as being pride, jealousy, desire, ignorance, greed, anger, which are the manifestation of ignorance, and which cause us to act negatively with our body, speech, and mind, so creating samsara (the need to reincarnate to clear negative karma) . Pride, jealousy, desire, ignorance, greed, and anger are transformed, through the mantra, into their true nature, the wisdom of the six buddha families that become manifest in the enlightened mind. So when we recite OM MANI PADME HUM, the six negative emotions, which are the cause of the six realms of samsara (the six types of karma), are purified. Each syllable is then seen as having a genuine purifying effect: OM purifies the veils of body; MA purifies the veils of speech; NI purifies the veils of mind; PAD purifies the veils of conflicting emotions; ME purifies the veils of latent conditioning; HUM purifies the veil that covers knowledge This is how reciting the six syllables prevents rebirth in each of the six realms (experiencing one of the six types of karma), and also dispels the suffering inherent in each realms. At the same time reciting OM MANI PADME HUM completely purifies the ego, the skandhas (negative karmic seeds that can manifest in one's life), and perfects the six kinds of transcendental action of the heart of the enlightened mind, the paramitas, or virtues of: generosity, harmonious conduct, endurance, enthusiasm, concentration, and insight.

The six syllables correspond to the six paramitas, the six transcendental perfections: OM corresponds to generosity; MA, to ethics; NI, to patience, PAD, to diligence, ME, to concentration, HUM, to wisdom.. It is also said that OM MANI PADME HUM grants strong protection from all kinds of negative influences, and various forms of illness. KALU RINPOCHE, a Tibetan monk and author, writes : “ Another way of interpreting the mantra is that the syllable OM is the essence of enlightened form: MANI PADME. The four syllables in the middle, represent the speech of enlightenment; and the last syllables, HUM, represents the Mind of enlightenment. The body, speech and mind of all the Buddhas and Bodhisatvas are inherent in the sound of this mantra. It purifies the obscurations of body, speech and mind, and brings all beings to the state of realization. When it is joined with our own faith and efforts in meditation and recitation, the transformative power of the mantra Arises and develops. It is truly possible to purify one’s self this way. “

CLEANSING OBJECTS

If you have ring, pendulum, locket, chain or other such object that you suspect of holding unknown, unwanted or non-beneficial energies or frequencies, you will need to clear them before they have a negative affect upon you. This process is easily achieved by immersing the item in glass bowl containing sea salt for 24 hours. After the 24 hours have passed, remove the object and throw away the salt.

CUTTING PSYCHIC LINKS OR CORDS

Cutting cords is a simple process once you know how it is done. In order to conduct this simple procedure you must first recognise a number of things. Firstly cords embed in your aura and chakras and secondly your aura is larger than the sum total of your physical vehicle.

You can control energy using thought and visualisation and this process requires a certain amount of both.

Stand up straight and breathe deeply into the base of your lungs.

Visualise white energetic fingers extending from your own physical fingers.

Visualise these fingers extending far enough that the can reach the very tips and edges of your aura.

Starting from your waist sweep both hands in a clockwise direction, with the intention that your energetic fingers will gather all cords from your aura (sweep your left hand from your left hip clockwise across your feet and up to the right hip, and your right hand from the right hip clockwise across your head and end on your left hip)

Draw all of the cords together in a bunch in the area to the front of your solar plexus.

You should intuitively feel the thickness and quantity of the cords.

Hold the bunch of cords in your left hand.

Visualise your right hand as a blue energetic knife

Chop this knife down and thought the cords, severing them from your energy.

Visualise a violet fire to your front, take the cords and throw them in the fire allowing the violet flame to transmute the energy into positive and healthy energy.

(energy sensitivity - if you have trouble sensing or feeling energy, clapping your hands and rubbing them together, pay particular attention to the finger tips and the centre of the palms, this will increase sensitivity allowing you to feel the cords)

Other Uses of this technique This technique is extremely valuable and should be incorporated into your daily energetic hygiene routine. It can also be used to remove attachments to places, events, and incidents which you feel have a negative association. Just visualise the event in front of you and visualise a cord running from you to the associated item, and repeat the sweeping and cutting exercise.

Prevention is better than cure Even though I recommend cutting cords daily there will be occasions when this is not possible, or you could (particularly if you work in a health related field) find yourself in protracted contact with other people of this nature it would be far better to prevent the cords occurring in the first place

DEALING WITH UNWANTED ENTITIES AND FREQUENCIES

If you find yourself having to deal with an unwanted or troublesome entity or frequency, and you don’t know what to do or what you have done has not worked, then you need to seek help. This can usually be obtained by asking a higher vibration, like a guardian angel, to assist. To do this, simply ask, by saying: " I ask that my guardian angel (or other) be here now present, and that he uses His divine authority to remove this unwanted energy from my space, and take it to an appropriate place within the universe where it may be healed, never to return to me again. I give thanks that this is done." As a dowser, I would also then do the following to clear the space:

1. Swing the pendulum in an anticlockwise circle and say: " I ask that all remaining unwanted negative energies be removed from this space permanently and taken to an appropriate place within the universe." Allow the pendulum to continue to swing for as long as it needs to. Eventually, it will slow down to a small swing indicating that the task has been completed. Don’t be impatient, and allow this process to take as long as it takes. 2. Now swing the pendulum as before, but in a clockwise motion and say: "I ask that all gaps, voids, holes and empty spaces created by the removal of all unwanted negative energies, be filled with love and holy healing light, and I give thanks that that is done." Again, allow the pendulum so continue to swing for as long as necessary, and until it stops. Again, do not be in a hurry and allow the pendulum to swing for as long as it takes. The pendulum slowing down to a virtual stop indicates that the process has been completed. If you are a pendulum dowser, then it would pay you at this stage to do some basic dowsing to confirm the success of the process, and that everything is back to normal.

FINALLY, A NOTE ABOUT POSSESSION

Possession is the atomic bomb in the arsenal of the dark forces. It is the real deal in terms of the constriction and imprisonment of an individual’s consciousness and should be viewed with great caution and respect (not out of admiration, but out of healthy regard). Apart from the obvious circumstances surrounding any possession, there are three golden rules to abide by at all times:  Never touch a possessed person, for to do so could invite the entity to jump from them into you  Fear is the worst emotion to display. If you are unable to remove yourself from the environment immediately, then stay as far away from the possessed individual as you possible can, and protect yourself using the Bubble of Light technique or The Lesser Banishing Ritual Prayer described in this book Possession is the real deal in psychic attack, and it should be taken very seriously indeed. You should not attempt to deal with such things normal psychic protection methods, which simply will not work, and will almost certainly render you vulnerable to possible possession yourself. Of course, the statistical odds of your ever experiencing something like this are about the same as being eaten by a shark, but nonetheless, never meddle in this area of psychic attack, which I shall deal with in another book at some stage in the future. For general information, and merely by way of providing you with a just in case scenario, there 10 rules that you would be wise to know about possession. 1.

Avoid people and places that give you reason to feel uncomfortable

2.

The number one rule is NEVER TOUCH A POSSESSED PERSON

3.

Prayer alone simply doesn’t work!

4. Protect yourself quietly and quickly; presumably as you are leaving, because you would not want to be staying to do this. 5.

Avoid being close to a possessed person (less than 12 feet away)

6.

Avoid engaging in communication with the person or the entity

7. Remove yourself from the location and the environment is humanly possible 8. NEVER fool yourself into believing that you can be of any help at all because you can’t! 9. When you are safely out of harms way, contact someone who can assist, if you know anyone, which will be unlikely 10. NEVER go back to where it happened or to the person who is possessed, until or unless you are absolutely certain that they have been exorcised

By way of an example of what can happen during such an encounter, I have included in the resources section of the website (http://www.psychicselfdefence.com) an experience that I had a few years ago in France with a person who was posessed.

SUMMING UP

Psychic protection does not have to be complicated, drawn out or ritualistic for it to be effective, and the more realistic and practical it is, the more effective it will be in real life situation. There are many books that have been written on the subject of psychic protection, each with their own slant on processes, procedures, methodologies and techniques. Some come from tried and tested methods, esoteric and occult doctrine and ancient wisdoms that are steeped in history, experience and practical knowledge of this subject. Other, more modern, new age, touchy-feely approaches are nothing more that superstition, hype, spin and utter psychic rubbish. There are processes for almost every aspect of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual activity, including chakra clearing, aura clearing, channeling, dowsing, group protection, tie, link and attachment cutting, and even face clearing. Ultimately, each process should encompass one or more of the characteristics of psychic protection that we discussed in this book, for what works, works, and all else is merely a variation on a theme. At the end of the day, you are either protected for the purposes of your intended activity or you are not, there is no middle ground, and once you are protected; as long as you are genuinely protected, there is no need to keep protecting yourself just to be sure. Often the very act of repeating something that is already in place can disrupt its effectiveness momentarily as you state changes, and provide a brief moment in which the door is unintentionally left open. Protection is a skill just like any other, and it can be learned very easily, and in relatively short time. The key to effective protection lies in knowing what works for you, doing it, testing it and trusting it. So many practitioners and students in this skill treat protection like a vain model always looking in the mirror and adjusting her hair. The act is often done for no other reason that insecurity which causes them to question the style and look. In the case of psychic protection, too many people use it like a new toy to be played with and keep tinkering with it for no other reason than they can. I have known many dowsers over the years who, having balanced their chakras simply can’t leave them alone, and feel the need

to check them far too often. If your chakras are balanced, then they will stay balanced until or unless something happens to change that, which almost certainly won’t be tomorrow or next week. Once you find a protection mechanism that works for you, keep it, use it and trust it until and unless you have reason not to. Dowsing is probably one of the most practical and effective methods of testing, fine tuning and adjusting alternative and subtle energy mechanisms, simply because it is a manual, practical, obvious and visual art that can be measured, repeated and observed by the dowser. If you do not already dowse, then I would strongly recommend you to learn, practice, and become proficient at it, for it is probably the most natural and easy to learn intuitive skill available to most people. You can learn the basics for free almost anywhere online, but I would strongly advise you to consider learning properly from a recognized, reputable and experienced source. Whilst I have personal and professional association with The British College of Dowsing, my recommendation of it is quite simple because I have yet to find another source to learn serious spiritual pendulum dowsing that I have sufficient experience of, and trust in to put my name to. I am sure they exist somewhere, but I am currently unaware of any from the perspective of personal experience. Whatever it is that you wish to protect at a psychic or subtle energy level, you now have the knowledge to be able to do so, AND even to experiment (hopefully under safe and controlled conditions of course) with your own techniques. Above all thought, and as we say here in England, ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, for there is no need to reinvent the psychic wheel, nor to place yourself in unnecessary potential difficulties by ‘playing around’ with protection that works. I sincerely hope that you have enjoyed studying this book, and that you feel that you have gained something from it.
