📝 Description: Practical Guide to Psychic Self-Defense: Strengthen Your Aura Phillips, Osborne

Deliberate psychic attack is very rare. However, your psyche is constantly under attack from friends and strangers, advertisers and politicians who want to manipulate you. Luckily, there is a solution--Denning and Phillips' Practical Guide to Psychic Self-Defense. The best way to overcome attacks on your psyche is through awareness that they are occurring. This requires you to become more awake and alert to this bombardment. Part of the technique is to understand how this attempted manipulation works. By studying this book you will gain that knowledge. The result is that the psychological intimidation that has been used on you in the past will no longer control you. There are two types of psychic attack. The first kind is attack by a person who has not had any occult training. He or she may feel slighted or betrayed by you (based on actual or imagined situations) and hold on to negative emotions. Eventually, unknown to that person, the negative energy can leap out, directed at you. This book reveals that your aura is your best line of defense. By using the exercises in this book to strengthen your aura, any such unintentional psychic attack will easily be dispelled and discharged. Even more rare is the "classic" psychic attack where a person does some sort of spell or ritual to harm you. Full instructions are given for overcoming such negative magick, both on a practical, physical level (sever any physical connection between you and the attacker) and on a ritual, spiritual level (perform blessings and rites to overcome psychic attack). But what happens if an attack does get through? First, you have to know how to recognize it. Usually, a successful attack strikes at your weak link. That could be your physical health (causing illness) or your mental attitude (causing depression). This book will show you how to recognize the problem and how to deal with it effectively.

The book succeeds as a tactical manual, offering clear methods to identify and discharge unwanted energetic signatures. However, it does not suit readers seeking deep metaphysical theory or historical context; those looking for scholarly analysis of occult traditions may find the content too superficial. Additionally, skeptics who reject the premise of 'energy' entirely will likely dismiss the exercises as pseudoscience without practical utility. It is best suited for existing practitioners willing to implement daily habits rather than casual readers expecting passive entertainment.

🎯 Key themes and symbolism

Aura Fortification

The text treats the aura not as a passive shield but as a dynamic field requiring active maintenance. Through targeted exercises, the reader learns to visualize and thicken this energetic boundary, ensuring it remains impermeable to external influences and internal fears alike.

Unintentional Projection

Phillips explores how ordinary people inadvertently launch psychic assaults through unresolved grievances or emotional volatility. The book categorizes these attacks as byproducts of human weakness rather than malice, teaching readers to identify and neutralize these accidental energetic leaks without fear.

Conscious Awareness

Central to the methodology is the cultivation of heightened alertness. By recognizing the subtle signs of manipulation, readers break the cycle of unconscious compliance. This awareness acts as the primary firewall, preventing external narratives from taking root in the psyche.
