The soul is the core of our being, the seat of our innate knowledge, the source of our conscience. It moves us forward on our cosmic journey over many lives. But negative influences always lie in wait, ready to attack--influences that can inhibit our spiritual progress. Perhaps you have felt vulnerable for no apparent reason, or you feel a strong, unpleasant "gut reaction" to someone; it might be the result of unpleasant mental energies sent by others. Deflect these destructive vibrations and protect your soul with the wise advice of an expert on dreams, intuition, and other psychic phenomena. Through brilliant and expressive images, you'll see clearly the colorful energy fields given off by auras, chakras, and even places. Then start sharpening your telepathic powers to heighten your awareness of danger as well as the brain's alpha wave patterns (which act as spiritual armor against anger and depression). Shield yourself from curses, jinxes, and the "evil eye," with amulets, totems, and protective spells. Meditation, eliminating fearfulness, having faith in yourself-with these and a variety of other strategies, you'll stay safe from psychic harm!
