📝 Description: The Practical Psychic Self-Defense Handbook: A Survival Guide

This is the ultimate guide to combating the influences of earthbound spirits, deranged ghosts, astral snakes and spiders, demonic spirits, and poltergeists. This is a highly anecdotal and comprehensive practical guide to the dark side of the psychic universe. Is everything that goes on in your mind really you? Perhaps not, says Australian psychic researcher Robert Bruce. Drawing on more than two decades of firsthand research and experience, Bruce reports that our minds are subject to influences from many unseen spiritual sources. Some of these can influence how we think, feel, act, and even how our bodies function. They can make us unhappy, irritable, confused, sick, unstable, even crazy. This is why we need practical tools and countermeasures for psychic self-defense, all of which Bruce provides.

Bruce provides a comprehensive, no-nonsense approach to psychic hygiene that stands out in a genre often filled with vague assurances. His decades of firsthand experience lend credibility to the techniques presented, making it a valuable tool for identifying and neutralizing unwanted energetic influences. However, this book does not suit readers seeking comforting spiritual platitudes or those who reject the existence of external psychic entities entirely. Skeptics of the astral plane may find the premise unsettling or unscientific, as the text assumes the reality of these intrusions as a given fact rather than a hypothesis to be debated.
