From Simon & Schuster, Psychic Protection offers practical ways to dispel the uncomfortable or hostile atmosphere that permeates difficult or unpleasant situations.
"An important guide for those who seek to be both grounded and spiritually connected" (Julia Cameron, author of The Artist's Way ), Psychic Protection is about creating positives energies for people and places.
A very interesting book indeed. The chapter on grounding, body and breathing to handle stress is very similar to practicing mindfulness. You can best handle stress only when you are calm and centred. How true. The title of this book may seem like a laugh to skeptics but this book does not have anything to do with magic or voodoo. It's a book about self awareness and how to handle things when you are troubled. Lots of visualisation exercises to practice. Things you can do on a one hour journey while commuting on a crowded train.
I came to this book from two different but overlapping perspectives. Primarily, as a highly sensitive (HSP) person, I tend to absorb people's moods and emotions - and it's rarely the good stuff - so I was keen to see how I can reduce this. Secondly, many of the principles Bloom mentions are similar to those used by shamanic practitioners, which I'm also very interested in.
Bloom runs through some fundamental principles of energy, before looking at straightforward ways to protect and cleanse your energy and the energy of spaces around you. It's all very straightforward and done in a responsible and self-aware fashion.
It's very simple, and anyone could do it. I think it needs practice, but in some ways I was hoping for something stronger or needing something a bit special - but perhaps that is my own preconceptions of what might help to provide psychic protection! Overall this is a very straightforward and helpful book - but time will tell!
I was pleasantly surprised at how easy reading this book was. I think it's the perfect book for someone (like me) who is starting to get into spirituality and psychic protection. The exercises all need practise but I feel like I will master them in time. Very pleased I was given this book :)
Great book on enery and how to protect and better your own energy. My favourite takeaway was how to "take enery" from nature. As I live in the country, this is very important for me.
Even if you don't believe in any of this stuff, this book has some very down to earth, easy techniques for keeping yourself grounded, peace-full, and stress free.
And I like my cover alot better that the one they have here! :OP``````
