Or maybe "mentally" here refers to psyche? Am I able to adjust my psyche to such a degree that it will allow psychic energy to influence my behavior.

I don't think the difference between a flexible mind and a flexible psyche is as important as the meaning of "flexible."
Perhaps it means the opposite of rigid. But what does that mean in terms of the mind?
In some cases it might mean versitile.
In some cases it might mean maleable, easily worked and shaped.
In some cases it might mean weak, easily influenced.
