Reddit reviews The Practical Psychic Self-Defense Handbook: A Survival Guide

I'll be brief here for anyone else reading, but I'll also PM you.

I can't advise on real tangible help, it sounds as though you've tried those avenues so since you're posting in this subreddit:

Read Practical Psychic Self-Defense by Robert Bruce.

If what you're dealing with is esoteric in nature, that's the most direct and pragmatic way to find a solution.

Yes, but it's because you believe in them that they work. You could use anything you can think of in the moment to help boost your confidence and your energy if you needed to. Whatever you choose, practice it regularly throughout the day so it's there clearly in your mind when you need it. Just like practicing with a sword to prepare for combat.

Don't practice in the bad vibes room until you have had time to purify it. There are many ways to do this and you will feel safe and comfortable. But until then, use your regular room. If you have any doubt, it will come back to you in the form of fear. Remember in vampire movies when a vampire will take the cross out of the hand of someone trying to use it to protect themselves and crush it because their faith is weak? Same thing.

Whatever you use, from whatever tradition or something you created yourself, it just needs to be something strong and positive. Think of Professor Lupin teaching Harry to use the Patronus charm (Read Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl for inspiration.) It could be imagining a golden dragon but if you believe in it - it will work. There is nothing out there that can really harm you but you can become afraid which ruins the experience. Fear is what kills the experience so this is a means of working to alleviate your fear.

Saying "go away" does work. Robert Bruce has a whole book on Psychic Self Defense as it relates to AP.

Ophiel recommends practicing the Kabablistic cross not only for protection but to help energize your astral body in his book The Art and Practice of...

Also try this, as soon as you are in the astral, imagine a wave of energy at the top of your head and move it down to your feet and back up again. Do this slowly at first and then faster. Two or three seconds from top of the head to feet, then one second, then pulsing. It helps invigorate you and ward off negativity. It also helps remove any negative energy blocks from yourself that might be causing the fear or apprehension during your practice. You can do this any time actually.

I don't have a link for download, I bought the book on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Practical-Psychic-Self-Defense-Handbook-Survival-ebook/dp/B00CUU6K9I/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8) for my Kindle and I'm thinking if I should return it.

I will try to be more specific editing my thread. Thanks!
