how do you collect your energy?

[tish]

We all know that we have to stay focused to build our energy before doing rituals, spells and chants. what ritual works for you so that your energy is strong?

You generally don't have to use a ritual to energize yourself. If you feel that you must then it's most likely a psychological comfort.

All you really need is to feel strong, in a good mood, and have the will power to be able to force your thoughts into reality. In other words, don't do it while you're sick, in a bad mood, or if you just don't believe in what you're doing.

Other than that there isn't much of a requirement.

I feel my energy rising from my feet upwards to my head and out through my hands, I see it as a colour too.
It builds up and up as it moves through my body almost like it will explode - but it doesn't because I harness it, i.e I control it with deep breathes and focus.

I can kinda see it mostly just a soft whiteish glow, but i dont think i can controle it that well, i dont really feel it "fill up" but when i streach out my arms to try a focuse it on something my arms kinda get numb and tingaly and my finger tips twitch a little sometimes. I really am not sire where the energy comes from but when i try to get more its almost like i cant, but i dont run out when i am doing work ( i also dont do much that requares alot of energy ) I'v always wondered if thats really how its sposta feel or if i was doingit wrong, i kept forgeting to make a thread about it.

Most people that attempt some form of energy manipulation (otherwise known as Psionics) feel a tingly feeling and get twitching. Some even feel a change in temperature. Like for me as an example, I'll control my energy and begin pushing out into a shape or whatever and as I do that my hands will begin heating up. It's different for everyone and is very normal. I use energy a lot as you can see. lol

I have been just practicing gaining it and then slowly releasing it, just so I can fell like I can control it better. Is that ok to do? Or do I need to direct it at something? Like stones or something?

No direction needed. In fact, many people suggest using that method to strengthen you energy control and allow yourself to output more energy. It happens but it all takes time and practice. You're doing good.
