You have an ant problem so you spray the ants with raid and clean house. That is banishing. There are a lot of rituals given for banishing and cleaning such as the LBRP and a few others. In direct energy terms you expand a field of condensed energy commanding and pushing out all unwanted energy and disrupting energy that won’t move until it falls apart and is blown away. It doesn’t mess up anything that you choose to exclude and you can target it to specific energies or entities.
In Bardon’s work he goes over a method of working with the elements not just in the soul mirror but by condensing them in regions through the body that helps to keep balance with the soul mirror evaluations. You also want to avoid going too far dark or light if you are not comfortable with it.
It is like banishing but more gentle like routine cleaning of the house. A good method is to bathe everything in a gentle cleaning glow of vital energy you gather of focus to cleanse all it comes in touch with.
I list some shielding and wards here.
Both difficult and dangerous and creates a lot of destructive feed back if you aren’t careful.
