My new technic

[Shaman of Bliss]

OK hello again everyone, I've been yet again experimenting with my energies

Ok so my friend from work was telling me that at this party he went to some guy came to him and said that he was going to take away his negative energies. My friend accepted and the stranger took his hand, made it into a fast, rubbed it for a couple of seconds then opened it. Then the man began to make a motion like he was grabbing something from my friends hand. When my friend told me about this he said that it felt so amazing, like string were being pulled out of his fingers and hand. That got me thinking.

I'm not ready for anything like that mind you but I've been thinking up an idea. I REALLY like the idea of astral projection. But you can't in a whim just sit down and stay there for the 30 minutes it takes to do. I've been meditating and once i've gathered enough energy I can feel my hands begin to phase through things. So my though process was that if I could phase my hand into someones body what would happen?

I was thinking like feeling my "ghost" hand wrap around the persons heart...only I don't knwo how to tap into it and or what to expect. But it's a neat little theory I've come up with, any comments?

While I'm not saying that this stuff isn't possible (on the contrary it's definately possible!) the trick you described that happened to your friend wasn't an energy cleansing. If we manage to make it out for coffee soon remind me and I'll show you how to do it. It's simply cutting off circulation to an area and then allowing all the blood to rush back into your hand - still energy work, in a way, but not the same thing. We used to do it to eachother when I was a kid, only we pretended that we were exorcising ghosts. LOL

As to the astral projection.... I don't know how that works, but I'm curious!

[Shaman of Bliss]

Ya, I don't really believe my friends testimony, (plus he was SO high when it happened) I do believe that it was a parlor trick or something similar but the idea intrigued me, thusly I am experimenting. and yes the conversation we will have over coffee will be amazing, I'm excited!

im grasping for straws in my ideas here. i dont know if it was a trick or not for sure but i would say it is a trick. comeon a party there wouldve been a huge imbalance there and not only because people were drunk, high or whatever. but it is possible to burrow and/or drain energies from a person.

[Sercee]

It's ok, Sobek. It really is just a party trick. What you do is have someone make a really tight fist and grasp their wrist. Rub the fist for a few seconds (preferably muttering something creepy and unintelligable). Then have the person release the fist while you're still holding their wrist. As you let go of the wrist make a motion as if you're pulling a kleenex out of the box, only it's a 'ghost' or energy or whatever from their palm. The subject will get a tingly, rushing feeling shoot from their wrist to their fingertips as the blood returns.

Now if it was a reiki master doing it at the same time.... THAT would feel neat!

i did a similar sort of trick in drama a few years ago. it was a solo performace and my character was on of those obvious fradulent psychics, and to prove that i had the sight, i did this trick on a random person from the class(it was actually random) but the trick was simple maths. very clever i do say.

i know it was a trick Sercee, i pretty much said as thus. but as i do i went off in another sort of direction lol. kinda like i did just above lol.

[Sercee]

Yeah, well, I forgive you for being misleading ...
This time!

It's entirely possible to take energy from another, but neat if pointless trick - I 've seen a few good ones in my time too. I would be very wary of anyone at a party claiming healing or cleansing 'gifts' - watch out for the old energy thief! - I know someone who does similar feats - it's an easy way to feed, people are so gullible, in that respect. I'm not joking around, but it's like all good cons - the 'john' is taken unawares and 'no real harm' is done - depends on your ethics, I suppose. Shaman, think about what you are saying - reach into another and touch their heart - hmmmm....risky, Shamanic healers of great skill and experience have been known to use similar techniques - they are not without risk and consequence. Be careful in your studies, sounds like you have a way to go yet, on the energy front[ re your other topic here] first things first.

[Sobek]

lol, you know you'll forgive me every other time too

i'd like to attempt taking energies from someone else, but i probably wont be able to find anyone willing for a decent while.

[Shaman of Bliss]

I find it kinda gratifying that I call myself a Shaman, and I thought of the heart, thingy, and that you've heard of well established Shamans doing such things. Its not like I googled it. Also I know my limitations, I think it's an interesting idea and a fun thing to keep me busy, but at this point I'm not ready to put anything like that into practice. I mean, I'm having trouble just feeling energy and trying to manipulate it as of late, Definitely not ready for such things...

[Eretik]

Well it would seem to me, that you have a gift, so you should be working on it and with it. As you get to know me, you'll see, that I always urge caution! I 'm an oldie, it goes with the creaky back etc!lol. You should keep on with it all. I love outdoors for energy gathering etc. A 'mini' shamanic retreat, if you will. It also stops you from having to explain to others what you are doing, people often pick up on it,especially if you 'shine' too brightly! [ in a busy home, it can get awkward]You need to be able to contemplate in peace too, learn to feel the Earth when she talks to you. Shamanism is one of the most solitary of solitary paths, sometimes. By the way,I love the new avatar.

[Shaman of Bliss]

Thank you! I do appreciate your words, and I am practicing. lolz, sometimes I even find my self more absorbed in trying to see someones aura they my algebra...lolz. I didn't know that Shamism was very solitary, but thats alright I do enjoy alone time a lot. Also I usually meditate just before I go to bed, I turn off all the lights and put on a CD of waves crashing softly on a shore. and I either pray, or practice some technics. I am aware of my limitations, I'm so new to thee art and I am excited about where my gift will take me, what I will be able to do. And thanks about the avatar, I saw it and feel in love with it. *sigh* so powerful and majestic the wolf is...

[Sobek]

I didn't know that Shamism was very solitary

havent you ever seen any movie where they are after a Shaman and they either have to travel to the middle of nowhere or up into the mountain where barely anyone else dares to go?

[Shaman of Bliss]

Ya...as a matter of fact, but I try not to take Hollywood as a source of truths about lifestyles or whatever. Still I think it's a neat fit, me becoming a Shaman...the parts just seem to fit.

[Sobek]

but I try not to take Hollywood as a source of truths about lifestyles or whatever.

me too, that was a bad example but hollywood often gets little bits right every now and then.
