“An integral aspect of self care is knowing how to defend oneself, but what if you don’t realize you’re even being attacked? In Crystals for Psychic Self-Defense, celebrated author Nicholas Pearson warns us of the various types of attack and more importantly what we can do about it. The best offense is often a solid defense, and in this practical and in depth guide, Pearson introduces us to the defensive attributes of stones from across the planet, but more importantly offers rituals and exercises to engage with the defensive qualities specifically. A powerful addition to your gemstone library, this book will easily complement other defensive practices.”
Ben Stimpson, author of Ancestral Whispers: A Guide to Developing Ancestral Veneration Practices
A full-color guide to protection, cleansing, and countermagick with crystals
In this full-color guide to crystals for psychic self-defense, crystal healing teacher Nicholas Pearson explores how to partner with the mineral kingdom for protection, cleansing, and countermagick. He begins by introducing common sources of psychic harm and explains best practices for discerning the symptoms of psychic attack and harmful energies. Looking at spiritual hygiene and the energy field, he shares several cleansing and purifying techniques, including magickal baths, selenite sweeps, aura scrubbing, and smoke cleansing, as well as how to cleanse, program, charge, and activate crystals. He also looks at special techniques aimed at strengthening the boundaries of empaths and highly sensitive people.
Detailing practical methods for protection, the author explores passive approaches, such as psychic shields, jewelry, and carrying gemstones, as well as more active practices, such as spells, meditations, and rituals. He shares magickal techniques for warding your home, vehicle, and work space and for counteracting geopathic stress, EMF pollution, and ill-wishing from those around us. Exploring how to combat and neutralize psychic attack, he examines the necessary yet challenging territory of binding, banishing, reversal, curse-breaking, and exorcism, sharing crystal spells, grid layouts, and rituals for spirit release.
In the in-depth directory of 145 of the most powerful and effective crystals and gemstones for protection, banishing, and recovery from psychic attack, the author describes the uses of traditional gems and stones, like ruby, garnet, diamond, and emerald, as well as more recent additions to the healer’s toolbox, like vivianite, mohawkite, arfvedsonite, labradorite, brucite, and others not found in ancient and medieval lapidary manuscripts.
