1.5 Psychic protection
Ordinarily, most people are psychically unprotected, for two main
reasons. Firstly they are not able to see when a negative energy is around them and when caution is required. Secondly they have not been trained to seal their aura to make it impermeable to external influences if needed.
Being the organ of subtle perception and intuition and the main switch of the body of energy, the third eye offers true answers to these two problems.
Firstly it allows you to detect when your energetic environment is such that prudence is needed.
Secondly it should be clear that our method does not only teach you how to open your eye but also how to close your aura. From the very first techniques the vibration in the third eye will begin to awaken a higher density of protective energy in your aura. This is not based on positive imagination or autosuggestion but on the tangible perception of a vibrating energy all around you. Not only during meditation will you be able to awaken this protective energy but also in the most varied situations of your daily life, such as taking a bus, walking in a busy street or dealing with your boss or employees.
More systematic methods of sealing the aura will be developed at length in Chapters 17, 18, 20 and 21 on protection. The capacity to detect ley lines (Chapter 12) will also be of great help in establishing a sound protective environment.

1.6 Practise, practise, practise...
I don't think much will be gained just by reading the 22 chapters
of this book. Whether you are young or old, healthy or sick, the key to success in your spiritual quest lies in three words: practise, practise, practise... It is certainly not necessary to withdraw from activity and meditate all the time in order to reach a high level of spiritual practice. You can follow this book without devoting more than ten to twenty minutes daily to meditation exercises. But a number of practices will be suggested that are designed to be implemented during your daily activities. Try to make them habits, and to incorporate this work as much as possible in your natural way of life.
After exploring many different ways of self-transformation one often comes to the conclusion that it is not so much the method or the style of work that matters, as far as realisation is
