Raising and using energy might seem good in theory, but efforts to use just energy for psychic defense or exorcism falls down badly in practice. Energy is best used to empower countermeasures and defensive acts.* Pure energy can, however, be used effectively in the astral dimension.* I have a chapter on astral combat in my book, Astral Dynamics, which you might like to read. There is also an article on my website giving basic psychic countermeasures on my website at

Energy disruption methods using body awareness actions can be used to deflect psychic attacks and wear away energy body attachments.* The movement of body awareness, as per the NEW Energy Ways method* disrupts the substance of the human energy body, causing a kind of ripple wave effect.* Some aspects of psychic attacks, such as energy feeding and entity attachment, involve very delicate subtle processes. These can easily be disrupted by body awareness actions.
