We compute velocity and the corresponding energy changes due to non-resonant interactions of protons with Alfv6n solitons. It is seen that the protons heat in the perpendicular direction but associated with this is a cooling in the parallel direction. * ICTP (Trieste) Fellow under programme: 'Training and
