Psychic Vampires: Protection from Energy Predators & Parasites

Rating:
Summary: Interesting Topic but Lack of Evidence
Review: This book explores a phenomenon termed "psychic vampirism". Specifically, it deals with people who limit the energy and auras of others via vampiric tendencies that sometimes augment their own energy and aura. Amazing. However, the author does not cite a lot of evidence to support his claims. As a Ph.d. I would imagine that he would be accustomed to supporting all of his claims with facts. The problem with this book is that while there are some intriguing clues into psychic vampirism, the author combines reincarnation, astral projection, aura viewing, crystal healing, etc. without really proving any of them. There are some very interesting photographs of auras. The author should've provided more of that type of information instead of going from one claim to the next without really proving the vast majority of them.

Summary: What you don't know can drain you?
Review: This book is a must have especially for people who work in for corporations or anyone who works with the public in general. It touches on alot of things we never even realize. Even talks about how in relationships we could be victims of a psychic vampire or the predator. Alot of times it is a totally unconscious that a person is draining others of energy. In todays society with all thats going on we need to be aware. Not paranoid just aware. This book is a must have for anyone in a draining relationship,codependant relationships,working in the public or anyone studying the psychic realm. Very beneficial information to have.

Summary: Interesting Topic but Lack of Evidence
Review: When I picked up this book I was very excited about it because it had some exercises (such as interlocking your fingers to close your aura from others) that seemed very intrigueing. With the enthusiasm of the new book I started getting right into but soon found that it fit my rule that if has the author use a title such as doctor on the cover it hard to read because they want to prove there worth of intellect (not all of them... but most of them). This book seemed to try to to hard to be "medically correct" with discriptions that sounded like they were generalizations from a medical journal it came across as impersonal, intellectual, and sometimes hard to put it in usable information.
Now like I said something about it in the title I finished probably two thirds of the book. For me to get that far it had to have something to keep me interested... and it did.
The good aspects about this book is that it does define everything, especailly the types of vampire relationships and symptoms that you can observe in these relationships. It makes it easier to recognize where vampirism actually occurs in everyday relationships... Making vampirism not something that only occurs in especailly evil or practiced people... but something that occurs in codependant, dependant, and in sometimes otherwise healthy relationships. It also does an important and excellent job at making the important discription of telling the reader about how to overcome vampiring another person.
The exercises to overcome vampirism are good but as all magickal/psychological work it requires the reader to actually become involved in the work emotionally more then just doing the motions. Though there is little mention of the emotional involvement needed. While discribing the exercises the author seems to write it as if it would come natural to the reader to do the exercises without discribing to the viewer what to expect fully that is needed of him and what will happen.
Overall I would recommend this book to someone in a codependant/dependant relationship, in a counciling position, or anyone that doesn't feel that they "fit in" or can keep a healthy relationship. Since that includes about everyone... if you look past the books limitations it has a lot of useful information.
