Summary: Excellent, like so many of their other works
Comment: I have read quite a few books by Denning & Phillips, and I have to say that I am almost always impressed by them. Though the couple was steeped in the tradition of the Aurum Solis, and many of the exercises in this book (and others) are borrowed from that tradition, everything is pretty straightforward and *accessible*. The writing style is down to earth. I can't quite place my finger on what it is that I enjoy about the writing style of D & P, except that they are earthy, not pompous and almost parental in their guidance. Years ago, I found this book and since that time I have lent it out or given it to several people... something I just don't ordinarily do. The exercises are simple, little or no ritualism and, (again, that word) "accessible" for the average person. I'm confused by another reviewer who felt the "tower of light" exercise was complicated or suitable for "adepts only"...I felt exactly the opposite. As other reviewers have mentioned, many topics are covered in this book, including psychic vampirism, negative group energies, even advertising pressures. Read this along with Denning & Phillips "Creative Visualization"...they work well together. Overall, highly recommended!

Summary: Practical Guide to Psychic Self-Defense and Well-Being
Comment: Melita Denning and Osborne Phillips have published numerous books and tapes about psychic matters, magic, creative visualization, and astral projection. Their Practical Guide to Psychic Self-Defense and Well-Being, Second Edition is an update of the acclaimed first edition.
Their publisher notes that there's no shortage of misinformation about the Occult, including psychic attacks, and says that "this book will give you a great deal of 'correct knowledge' and straighten out a lot of the nonsense . . . that has lead many naive people to walk in fear of demons and curses, of possession and jinxes, and denied to them their own natural psychic talents that would protect them. . . "
Denning and Phillips believe that psychic self-defense begins with a strong aura. They explain exactly what an aura is, distinguishing between the electrical and psychic auras. Acknowledging that certain situations create fear within us is the first step. The authors provide tips for recognizing rational and irrational fears and for overcoming them. They then explain in great detail how to create a "tower of light" that will "make your aura the luminous and potent shield of spiritual protection you ought to have." With practice, the tower of light can be invoked the instant you feel threatened or attacked.
They go on to discuss the fact that a strong aura offers protection only from outside threats. Negative emotions attack from within, and weaken the protective light surrounding you. They also make people more susceptible to attacks made through elementals and sorcery. Denning and Phillips describe how to overcome attachments and break any links that have been established with unwanted entities.
The authors discuss the role of the occult, and also describe impersonal aggression, such as stress, noise, and drugs. They also explain how groups, such as business offices, can form a group aura that may be detrimental. They offer defenses against all these. In addition to the tower of light, they describe how to use amulets and rituals. And should all your defenses be penetrated and you suffer psychic damage, they explain the best ways to retaliate. They also tell readers how to protect themselves against crime and how to keep their children safe.
Denning and Phillips say that "psychic self-defense is important in our physical and emotional, even in our mental and spiritual well-being." The Practical Guide to Psychic Self-Defense and Well-Being provides the information and techniques readers need to develop and strengthen their individual natural and protective powers.

Summary: Not bad, but hardly great. . .
Comment: This book wasn't bad, but it was kinda dull and a few of the techniques (like her "Tower of Light") would be unworkable for anyone but an adept. A good compliment to Fortune Dion's work, but even better would be "Psychic Self-Defense" by Robert Bruce, or "Arcane Lore" by Scribe 27.
