Psychic Defense

At the request of Shamash, I am going to do a thread on here about the way I perform Psychic Defense. First of all I think it is important to say just as in any division of Defense, prevention is essential, it is better to know how to protect oneself and prevent an attack then to be fighting one off.

One of the first things to Psychic Defense is know you, know what is you, how you feel, yourself on as many levels as you possibly can. The key here is that it will allow you to know when you are at risk of an invader. The art of Psychic Defense can be compared to Hygeine used to prevent illness.

Think of Grounding exercises (where one goes back to a Base and situated state) as taking a shower, since you are returning to your basic clean state before all the grime of the world go onto you. Ground as regularly as you would take a shower, you can even integrate the two (i.e. Ground whilst taking a shower) that way the connection and the importance can be solidified.

Centering is another common practice in Defense, here is why and what it does: Centering is the art of alignment, going from a negative or positive state to a neutral or "centered" state. The reason one would center is that it gives you a baseline.

So here is the essential difference between Grounding and Centering: Grounding is returning to a Basic state, where all the excess charge can be cycled through the earth leaving only that which is you (just like the dirty water being washed down the drain when you take a shower); Centering is not only finding the baseline that you return to in Grounding, but is also rebalancing yourself so that you don't go stumbling around energetically in the world.

So, Centering helps you since it returns you to a situation where you are in control energetically, since one of the easiest ways for someone to come under attack is when their energy is unstable. Grounding prevents Psychic contamination and long time build-up of Psychic Residue which can linger and cause the systems that are supposed to help you on the energetic level not to work as effectively which makes you vulnerable.

So there you go, this is the basics of Psychic Defense, though Chakras are an excellent tool for Grounding, Centering, and generally interacting with the energetic body (which will also be important for when the time comes for fending/fighting off a Psychic assailant).

Chakras could be seen as one of the most powerful tools in your arsenal against an assailant, as well as for preventing an attack in the first place.

A Chakra is a spherical vortex of energy, where Ambient Energy is collected and converted to an energy called Prahna, and then circulated through the body in the form of a colored energy. There are seven Major Chakras, which are equidistantly distributed down the spine in conjunction with the major nerve clusters that are closest to the middle portion of the body; it is these which are the main tools in working with this system. There are Minor Chakras which are located on the major nerve clusters on your Physical Body on all the major areas of the body like on the arms, legs, joints, shoulders, kidneys, etc. and essentially serve as the distributors of this colored Prahna throughout the body so that it can be energized and balanced.

When these Major Chakras are unbalanced, they cause the Prahna distribution in the body to become uneven, leaving vulnerabilities in the energetic body due to the reinforcements of the deficient Prahna type to be weakened.

To balance the Chakras:

1: Go through the Chakras starting from Base to Crown, then Crown to Base

Find region of Chakra, imagine ball of light in the color of the Chakra

____________________________________________________________

2: The light will be swirling in a direction, the direction is important:

If the light is swirling clockwise, it is releasing energy

If the light is swirling counterclockwise, it is absorbing energy

____________________________________________________________

3. For the exercise you want the light swirling clockwise except the Crown

This will cause the other six Chakras to bring Prahna upward to fill the Crown with energy

Then see the Crown swirling clockwise with the Base swirling counterclockwise

_______________________________________________________________

4. This will bring the Prahna down to the Base, but after having collected all that Prahna

Then have the Base swirl clockwise, banishing any Dark energy/blockage downward

Dark Energy sinks, Light Energy rises; this Principle can be used to clear blockages

___________________________________________________________________

5. Then see all Chakras flowing counterclockwise and imagine their intensity balancing

If a Chakra seems brighter or dimmer, then dim the brighter one and brighten the dim one

Then focus on the Base Chakra, allowing any excess to flow into the ground

____________________________________________________________________

After this, any obstruction in energy flow should be cleared,

This concludes my Chakra Basics lesson for Psychic Defense.

Very nice; thank you for the information Lexan. :)

No problem, and thank you for your feedback :)

When working with chakras the implementation of specific dieties and listening to tones can help balance or energize them.

**THIS IS NOT MY INFORMATION, I JUST RMEMEBRED IT FROM ANOTHER PLACE **

(citation below)

Tones:

1. Root Chakra: "UH" (as in up) at the note of Do.
2. Sacral Chakra: "Ooh" (as in too) at the note of Re.
3. Solar Plexus Chakra: "Oh" (as in so) at the note of Mi.
4. Heart Chakra: "Aw" (as in saw) at the note of Fa.
5. Throat Chakra: "I" (as in fly) at the note of Sol.
6. Brow Chakra: "Aye" (as in play) at the note of La.
7. Crown Chakra: "Eee" (as in see) at the note of Ti.
