Inspirational Yet PracticalNovember 8, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book both inspired me with the possibilities of greater spiritual self-growth and spurred me into action with its practical exercises and "blueprints" for handling psychic disturbance in daily life.
Caitlin Matthews walks the reader through the various explanations and experimentations with the power of Spirit that lies within each of us. The reader is encouraged to "become psychically streetwise" in a material world that, Matthews appropriately notes, often leads us to become spiritually lazy and sloppy.
The parts of this book that resonated with me personally were, among others, about how to "stop the tape-loop" of trauma that we may have suffered, dealing with the "power thieves" among those around us, and restoring family honor. The book seems to be designed for those who are just getting their feet wet spiritually, but at the same time the author does not look down upon those who may be encountering these ideas for the first time in their lives. The author is warmly encouraging and down to earth in her guidance.
I can say with confidence that this book and Caitlin Matthews' book on shamanism, "Singing the Soul Back Home," are the two most valuable books in my entire personal library. Psychic Shield is highly recommended as both a source of inspiration and a practical "how-to" guide on matters of the Soul.
Full of Wisdom, Care, and Knowledge on the MatterAugust 2, 2008 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I found this book full of wisdom and the author takes time and care to explain the WHY aspect of psychic disturbances. Once we understand the WHY, we will be more grounded and we will trust our natural ability to protect ourselves. More than a book with a list of rituals (in which there are many that address common disturbances); this book is very insightful and takes a deeper look at our psychic unease. It is effectively organized and easy to read as well.

A Must Have - Especially for Very Open EmpathsMay 12, 2007 41 out of 41 found this review helpful
I admit I am a library junkie and rarely find anything on the market in the area of Paganiam, magic, metaphysics and the like that has a drop of new, useful information in it. But when I read this book, with its very detailed and yet simple practices for psychic street smarts, including everything from soul hygeine and protection, I immediately bought it.
I work as a professional psychic and have many protection skills, but burn out due to many psychic issues with clients can be disheartening. This book gave me a lot of new tools, not just for work, but for daily life. My connections to my guides, power animal, Gods ("Source of Life") and MYSELF have never been clearer or stronger - after 20 years in this field of work and study! As someone who has spent my whole life learning to shut down my empathy and psychic awareness, I wish I had this book at age 7 or 13.
There is a nice blend of core shamanism in the book as well, but written in a much more assessable way for people who haven't been formally trained in soul retrieval.
I highly suggest doing the whole book slowly and honestly and let it work its magic on your life. If everyone was aware of their own power stealing and leakage and the like, we'd be in a much saner society.
As I stress to my clients, empowerment is the key to life, not being a victim, and this is on top of my reading list for people with boundary issues. Even a Christian Priest I know loves this book.

This book really helped me. I've always felt like I was being oppressed, and the procedures outlined in Psychic Shield helped me find some peace.
