The second reason is more important, and might be fucking HARD to explain. The more warded we are, the less we are open to influences that expand us, and it's a bit foolish to forget that we need to draw or we stagnate, imo. Negative things can't get at me unless I let them, but valuable qualities/thought patterns and good energies are free to "influence" me
IMSVHO, you might already be doing some banishing you're just not aware
of. Banishing doesn't have to be a formal complex set of instructions,
involving visualization/mantra vibration, like the LBRP (if you're into
kabbalistic symbolisms), Gnostic Pentagram R, or Gnostic Thunderbolt R. It
can be as simple as S. Mace's banishing ritual from "Stealing the Fire
from Heaven",
Again, IMSVHO, I do a banishing not only to get rid of unwanted influences
(that could interfere with my work; and for protection) but also to get
rid of my obsessive thoughts, sort of grounding/centering myself as a
signal that I am about to embark upon a 'special' ritual ("concentration
trigger"). Aura-wise, banishing can "expand" your aura (DM Kraig) by
"causing people to like you and respect you more, and come to you for
comfort." (hearing my sinister mind, ting-ting-ting-ting-ting,
"babe-magnet" >;). According to S. Mace, it can "harden" your aura
"forming a psychic shell that will keep your consciousness together and
deflect the piercing intrusions of the external world...an aura so hard
that he[she] will be able to drop many of the defensive habits that might
have attached themselves to his[her] personal attitude." In fact, Mace
recommended doing it "4-5 times a day for the rest of your life."
So, as a kid, I always make it a habit, not only to brush my teeth, but to
do banishing often/daily.
Just my 2 centavos.
All the Best,
