Deflection is the meta-magickal/psionic power to generate protective energies around one’s self, to literally deflect anything that comes within range of the shielding forces.  An example of this gift in the media in portrayed in the hit anime show “Naruto”, as used by Hinata and Neji Hyuga in the blue energies they use to disable “Chakra”, & to create spinning force-fields.

In the beginning of training with this ability, Deflective Energies wrap around the practitioner’s (both psionic and occult) hands, but with practice, one can make the energies encase her/his whole body or spread out approximately five feet from him/her. 

Despite this, even at beginner levels, Deflection can be a very useful skill.  With it, a practitioner (either psionic, occult, or both) can use this to deflect energies with her/his hands defensively, and (surprisingly) offensively by deflecting and bouncing elements and objects to strike a target; provide shielding; knock a target backwards in the air by several feet by touching it, and weakening or blocking energy on a human by striking them in an acupressure point with Deflective energies (this last example I DON’T recommend under ANY circumstances other than self defense).

 

BEFORE WE BEGIN, there are a couple of things one should know…

--As is the beginning of any training, one should know that 9 times out of 10, beginner energies Will be weak, and you most likely will not see it.  In the case of Deflection, your chances of deflecting something will be slim.  Just remember, that if you practice, you WILL get stronger.

--As with training with all powers, one should stay away from drugs and alcohol, as those substances with interfere with one’s energy flow and thinking processes, as well as several other things, which are a bit…unpleasant.

--It would be wise to begin a steady exercise program, as that will increase energy flow dramatically, and make you feel better.  Same thing goes with meditation.  Just ten minutes a day is all I ask.

--Negative thoughts and emotions, such as doubt, fear, self-denial, etc., will prohibit your performance, so think and feel positively.

--Some readers will say why they don’t just put up a psi shield or use lygokinesis to protect themselves, and let me tell you this.  Before my discovery of my talent for this Art, I settled for lygo- shields and they could not protect someone like a true deflective shield could.  Deflection doesn’t break under strain like the other shields do, simple as that.  It is just more powerful.

 

GENERATING DEFLECTIVE ENERGIES

This is the technique that has worked for me, but you are in no way bound to my instruction.  If you do not agree with or like this technique, you do not have to settle with it.  So here you go.

Many Arts are triggered by a different state of mind.  In the case of Defle ction, the state of mind is an overwhelming need for security and protection.  To generate the energies needed for Deflection, you must need safety with all your heart in order to make it come out.  With this in mind, let me move on to the steps.

1)    Hold one of your hands in front of you (preferably your right hand if you are right-handed, or vice-versa for lefties), and think of everything that frightens you, everything that makes you tremble and scream.  This may be difficult, but you must hold this.

2)    Hold on to your fears for a moment, and then think of how much you want to flee from or fight those horrors. 

3)    Hold onto this thought, and at the same time, exhale deeply, drawing energy from your solar plexus chakra, and force it through your arm and into your palm.

4)    Continue this until you feel a strange sensation in your hand, such as warmth, cold, prickling, or if you make your palms face each other without touching, feeling a magnetic push that you can roll around in your hands.

5)    Try taking this to the next step by seeing if someone can feel a push from the energy you have created.

 

Before you take this to the next step, you must practice generating this energy until you can do it within a matter of seconds.  Afterwards, you can then continue training.

 

 

DEFLECTIVE BLOCK

The most standard of all techniques for this gift.  It is simple, but very effective.  As you continue, your energies will have more range, allowing you to shield yourself better.

1)    Have a partner help by throwing a plastic ball at you or something of that nature.  However, I don’t recommend ANYTHING harder than a beach ball.

2)    Generate your energy in your dominant hand, and swing it out.

3)    As your charged hand touches the object, visualize and focus on bouncing the object off of your hand, and having it zoom away from you with more speed that with which it was thrown.

4)    With practice, you can use your energy to statically hold the object in place for a couple of seconds before you deflect it.

Your blocking field will increase the more you create this energy, so if you miss the object at first, or for some time, just know that sooner or later, you will be deflecting an object that hits the air before hitting your hand.

 

 

DEFLECTIVE SPIN

An upgrade to the Deflective Block, but this time, encircle your hands around you before you block to shield yourself from multiple objects coming at you at once in different locales. 

I DO NOT APPROVE OF USING THIS TECHNIQUE TO IMITATE ANIME CHARACTERS, AT ALL!  THIS IS FOR YOU TO PROTECT YOURSELF.

 

 

DEFLECTIVE BURST

Although this is an offensive technique, I do not approve of anyone using this to scare or torment or hurt or impress people, nor to use this for any sort of personal gain other than to defend yourself, and even then to only use it when you are physically overpowered, outnumbered, or there is no chance of escape.  Though I should hope this never happens to anyone.

1)    Gather your energies in both of your hands.  This is going to be difficult, so brace yourself.

2)    Thrust your hands out in front of you, palms facing outwards, and see the energy in your hands pushing back everything your palms are facing.  Every element, such as air/wind, object, or target are to be pushed back.  Like when you deflected the object thrown at you, now use that same visualization to push everything facing you away.

3)    The end result should be a powerful gust of wind, like a leaf-blower, causing everything to fly away from you.

 

 

CLOSING REMARKS

 

--To those of you who believe and are having results, this is only the beginning, the rest is up to you to practice and use such a powerful gift as you see fit.  I cannot put every tech in this article.  All I can do is show you how to get started.

--If there are those who either still do not believe such a power exists, or have not gotten results, know this.  Deflection is NOT a power anyone can master, and your talents might lie elsewhere.  Like my Backwards Casting tech, it may not suit everyone, just a few.

--Be responsible with your gift, and do not use it for harm or ego.  Use it to protect people.  Use it for good.  Remember, Karma is a fickle mistress who will kick your arse should you do what is morally wrong.

--With practice, perseverance, and effort, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE, don’t give up just because things look bleak.  You are capable of enormous talent, you just have to find out where that is, whether it is in Deflection or not.

 

Blessed be,
