Energy Exercise
(This is an excerpt from a University Of Metaphysical Sciences course at www.umsonline.org, please feel free to visit the school website)
Sit on the ground or in a comfortable chair with your arms extended in front of you with your cupped hands one up and one down, over each other. Spread the fingers slightly, comfortably creating a spherical space between the hands. Begin with the fingers nearly touching each other. The space you have created could be considered apple-sized. Breathe consciously for a moment, slowing down life’s calls until you gain some level of calm. The natural energy moving to the hands is complementary, though with them facing each other it is polarized at the same time. Begin to create a ball of energy in the space between the hands: this is your own energy so it is safe to create and handle. Allow each moment passing to move the reality of your creation into certainty. The energy sphere may feel tangible immediately or it may take some coaxing until your psychic wisdom knows that it is there. The ball is now ready to be imbued with those things you considered to be worth promoting. Gratitude and love are always a good standby. If you have specific needs, such as health issues, the sphere can be charged with appropriate energy or general life-force manna.
Now is a time when you can take this exercise to a completion by choosing to move the ball within or without yourself. If, however, you feel capable of taking the energy further, continue as follows. Slowly spread the hands away from each other to a size closer to a bowling ball size. The hands can be moved around as though cradling the sphere, keep them equidistant and palm-to-palm but allowing them to change from above to below and back as feels right. As size increases, so does the energy within, allow yourself to feel this. Additional vibration can be sent into the sphere, and its field will change accordingly. Three ways to bring this exercise to a transition are to move the sphere of energy either into the ground, the sky, or your body and relax the hands as you release the ball. Knowing that the energies within will remain an active co-creative force, it is wise to give appropriate direction to the release. This exercise has endless potential modifications and personalization for years of use.
Working with another person or group of magick-using people lends itself to this next technique. Sitting across from another person or in a circle, take hold of each other’s hands one palm up and one down. Each person brings their own personal energy to a group and together the harmony and interplay of these energies is a source of endless work and enjoyment. Allow your heart to overflow with generosity and allowance as though this good stuff is boiling over and down the arm of the side with the hand that is palm down, into your neighbor’s upturned hand. Energy is also flowing into your other upturned hand simultaneously. Consciously move the energy up your receptive arm, across your heart where it is further charged by your outpouring heart gifts, and down the directive arm in a now complete circuit within the group. Visualizing can be helpful if you are aided by seeing the flow spiral around your group into and through you, and on, and on.
This technique is a great way to establish fundamental ties for a magick-working group. It takes practice and improves with time as those with varying degrees of talent reach an energetic balance. Grounding the energy is recommended upon completion of this exercise.
Energy
comes in many forms other then electricity. One of the most common
forms of energy is the wind. In witchcraft energy can be used for
many things such as healing and transformation. The direct utility
of energy healing can be used in a journey through the field. Practical
spiritual energy can be found with the help of using charka energy of love.
Reliant consumer power should consist of using the wind and using nature
as a spiritual guide to supplying energetic sources with energy.
