Psychic defence is a kind of ability everyone should learn no matter of their profession or beliefs. And since it’s not difficult to learn the basics of psychic defence, I will be glad to explain it to you. What is psychic defence? Basically, it is a set of skills require for one to defend against events and things related to PSI phenomenon, that can cause harm, both mentally and physically.

What kind of things we are talking about? Concentrated fields of psionic energies, ghosts and other “energetic” entities, psionic activity of different kind e.g. poltergeist, vamp attacks (we’re talking about energetic vampires here) or energy overloads. Those are only few examples but all of them can be dangerous to human beings.

When should you learn

Psionic defence’s task is to protect you from such dangerous things. When you should learn it? If you’re interested in studying psionic phenomenon or in ghost hunting, then learning psychic defence is a wise choice. But you might ask: “how is it possible that I might be attacked by psychic vampire or ghost if I’m not dealing with this stuff?” – to be honest, there is much bigger chance you will die in nuclear explosion, but still – possibility remains. And because it’s so simple to learn the basics of psychic defence, then the question is “why not learning it?”

When to defend yourself

Answer is simple – every time you feel threaten, especially when you’re under attack – for more theory on recognizing psionic attacks I will refer you to an article of Winged Wolf – Basic Psychic Attack Recognition and Defense, in other cases if you feel threaten it’s good idea to set up a shield. How to do this?

The shield concept is pretty simple – a shield is an energy construct meant to perform a specific task, usually to shield you from outside world and different kind of mental/spiritual energies. But since shield isn’t required for normal people in their daily life, and explaining different types of shields used by psions would take too much time, I will explain the very basic shielding method everyone can use.

Setting up the shield

It will be much easier than you think – you see, you already have a shield – it’s your default defence method since the day you were born, regenerating during sleep and depleting in result of daily stress or negative emotions of people toward you. If you feel threaten, imagine you’re glowing ;). Imagine a while light surrounding you, it’s warm and it’s protecting you from the outside world. Do this for a couple of minutes, feel comfortable and safe – now you have a shield.

The concept of this shield is simple – we recognize light as something good, an attribute of higher entity some call god – angels, saints etc. they are all related to bright light – why doesn’t we like darkness? Because we don’t feel it to be safe. Make your customs and beliefs your best defence – you know light is good, so use it!

What next

After you have a shield the best thing you can do is to run away – leave the area as you can’t fight something you don’t understand (you’re not alone). The good news is that psychic vampires usually leave after they learn you’re not such easy target, concentrated fields of energies stays in one place, and 90% of poltergeist activity can be “cured” with the help of psychologist.

If you’re under attack from more… difficult entity, the best choice will be to ask an egzorcist for help (not a priest, but real egzorcist), as you won’t be able to deal with this problem on your own. The good news is that you, your family, your friends and families of your friends will never encounter with such powerful paranormal activity so you don’t have to worry about this.

Now you know the very basic psychic defence method – use it when you feel you need it and remember that probably you will never have to use this knowledge “in the field” :). Hah!
