Grasping Energy

[Midnight_Cat]

I ah...thread-jack this post from my coven I hope that's alright ^.^ but its really cool and I want to share it with you guys plus my online bro own that coven so....yeah lol anyway...here goes

From the moment we take the time to meditate, the energies inside of our bodies become known to our awareness.

To touch and control the inner reservoir of energy is one of the most basic forms of energy manipulation.

For those whom look to start, or to brush up on basic skills, this is for you.


Once one has begun to meditate there are currents to the body that stand out. Breath flows to the lungs as they rise and fall, the blood pumps through as we lay still. Focus allows us to separate the feelings, to isolate the sensations.

Once we are able to separate the feelings of blood, we recognize additional currents. Threads to the body we had not noticed before. Currents that flow within us, that are not blood or air. This current is the flow of your etheric body.

The current is different to each individual, some feel heat where others feel cold. Once the threads have been found, they can be traced to the main center of energy. This is usually located in the middle of the chest, as the torso consists of the most Mass for the currents to pool.

With focus, it can be determined the way the pool rotates. Focusing on the movement of the pool can cause it to begin to rotate in the opposite direction, this being the most basic manipulation to energy you can create.

Some people learn through visualizing, others from the Feeling the currents give them. Yet others find that just ''doing it'' or wanting it to happen is enough. After the pool has been identified, it is then possible for a person to draw from it. Initially drawing from this pool is a good way to start working with energy, as we progress we begin to draw from Everywhere at once and the pool becomes a back up source. As we grow in strength, the body is able to match what we draw. This way the Pool becomes a reservoir of power if needed.

The next step is for the pool to extend the current along an arm, the goal being the palm of your dominant (writing) hand.

If you learn by visualization, see a current from the pool. See it as what seems right to match how it feels. A stream of water, mist, fire, electricity, all are fine.

If you learn by feeling, actually Feel the current slow and extend itself in a tendril along the lines of your arm.


It may take a few sessions to accomplish this, depending on natural talent and other factors. If you begin to feel: dizzy, sore, tired, overly of one temperature (hot or cold) or get a headache, Please stop and try again after a rest or snack. Possibly waiting at Least an hour would also be good, you can be strained in many ways besides with physical muscles.

After you can pull it up your arm, it can then be pooled in your palm. Temperature changes can be effected at this point, as well as changes to the way you Feel the energy on your palm. Experiment with it and see how it reacts to your thoughts.

It is recommended to practice moving energy within yourself to build more tolerance for the strain, as well as to be able to increase the amount of skill you have. If you can move it to one arm, proceed to move it to the next. And of course naturally moving it to both at the same time is next.

Keeping the energy flowing is an exercise, with many benefits.

Tolerance to strain, increased ability to move energy, finer control on the level of the self, increase in natural energy, and reduction of natural blockages all are part of why maintaining a working relationship with your bodys energy is a positive thing.

I advise you to have proficiency in moving energy and a tolerance for it built up before moving to psi balls, which I will cover in an additional article.


Energy is created in all the familiar ways you'd think of. Physical exercise is a good example, but spiritual exercises like meditation can also raise energy.

The real ''secret'' of magic is that this natural energy flows along the lines of intent. Focus your concentration, and the energy goes to what you focus on. Simple concept, but takes practice to do consistently well.

We all have innate abilities to send and receive energy. This is as natural and as automatic as breathing. We exchange energy with all living things, from the environment, from the animal kingdom, and from fellow humans.

We receive energy in many ways; physical activity, eating, meditating, connecting with a loved one, singing, etc. There are a million ways...

basically anything that locks you into a connection with life will connect you to this flow of vital energy. We send energy when we are concentrating on something while connected with this same vital flow of life. We lose energy when we lose our connection to this unlimited source. The energy flows freely in and out, like the breath.''

Thank you for sharing.

This exercise is really good. Although, I think I need a lot more practice at it.

[[Bastet]]

Thank you.
Where can this exercise be done? and any advice on how to slow the thoughts in ones mind? Focusing exercises are a bit hard for me as my mind is constantly racing.

Okay... I want to answer you question, but i really need to think about that, before I do...

My mind is always busy too, somehow I can find the peace in my mind to meditate. I am not really sure HOW...

Give me some time, and I'll tell you how I do it.
Today is not the day, I figured that one out, so far.

I promise I get back to you.

Go with love,
Neha

[SecretSilence]

Wow. Just what is needed for new witches (like me) to grasp this... I need lots more practice, though. I also would appreciate tips on how to start meditating and get rid of all the random thoughts that insist on jumping to the front of my mind....
