Energy from the Heart

I want to start off say that in this article we will talk a lot about “grounding”, “centering”, and “shielding”. These are your basics of good energetic hygiene and the foundations for all other energy work. If these are new concepts to you I would recommend going back and checking out our blog posts on those topics.

Otherwise, let’s get into it. Along with visualization, working with, directing, and manipulation of energy is one of the corner stones of spell work, healing, and many other spiritual practices. This article will include a few beginning steps to feel and start working with and directing energy. This isn’t by any means all encompassing. It is just meant to get you started. ; working with, directing, and manipulation of energy is one of the corner stones of spell work, healing, and many other spiritual practices.

Before you do any of the exercises below please take time to ground and center. You want to be pulling energy through you and not from you. If you are using your own energy you will finish feeling drained, tired, and worn out because you are depleting your own personal energies. If you are fully grounded and centered you will be directing energy through you from the Earth and the Universe where there is a never ending abundant supply.

Have you ever felt your Aura?

If you or someone you know has never felt their aura here is a simple trick that will instantly allow you to feel it. (My kids used to love to do this to show everyone their auras). Have someone make a fist. Then gently, while focusing your energy and intention on their aura, start wrappings their aura around their hand (if you need a visualization check out our Fackbook Live) like you ae trying to wrap their hand up so that they cannot open their fist. Do thing for a few minutes. Then ask them to gently open their hand. They will feel the resistance of their tied up aura. It is WAY COOL.

Between your hands

Start by placing your palms together and start to rub them back and forth together until you start to feel some heat. Once you begin to start feeling the warmth you can begin to gently pull your hands apart. You may feel some very gentle resistance. This is the energy you built up with friction. You should be able to feel the pulse of the energy between your hands. Concentrate and visualize more energy into that space between your hands. See how long you can hold the energy between your hands. It may take some time and practice to build the energy up between your hands. Once you are able to hold the energy there between you hands and grow it you are ready to move on to the next exercise.

Energy Balls

Now that you have been able to hold some energy between your hands for a bit let’s turn that into energy balls. Start just like about but visualize the energy forming a ball holding your hands about six inches apart. Move your hands around the surface of the ball. Note how it feels and if you can feel its boundaries. See if you can make it bigger or smaller. Visualize the color of the energy ball changing. Does that change the feel of it? If you have some one to practice with pass energy balls back and forth. Feel how each other’s energy balls feel. Add some emotional intention to the balls. See if you can guess what color the ball is when it is give to you. Can you sense the intention of that ball when it is passed to you.

Here are some real world uses for energy balls.

• You find yourself in a situation that may be escalating try to send all the parties involve fluffy pink clouds balls of calm, peaceful energy. I have used this to prevent a bar fight.

• I also send calm peaceful energy balls to calm very high strung co-workers that give other people anxiety.

• You can create a ball with the feeling of get back, stay away, leave me alone energy. This can help if you feel like you may be in a situation that may make you feel uncomfortable or threatened. (I you really feel unsafe please do your best to leave the situation, this would only be meant to help give you time to make an escape.) But I have also used to to thwart unwanted attention. (wink wink).

• Green or Blue energy balls can be placed on boo boos and sealed with a kiss. They make the magic mommy kiss even more magical.

The same principles used in creating energy balls is what you will use when raising and directing energy for all kinds of spell work. Just consider this practice. The more you practice the more success you will have with your spellwork.

Deep Heart Breathing

I give you this technique in honor of the late, great Donna Bartram. Reiki Master extraordinaire and Goddess Mother to Illyra and all-around amazing healing. This may be the first time this technique has been put down in print.

This is a distance energy healing technique that can be used by anyone. It is simple enough tat it can be taught to children. I also like it because once again it is teaching you how to channel energy through you. Thus not depleting your energy. It is using universal energy of love. You will be bringing energy in through your crown chakra and moving it out through your heart chakra.

• Ground and Center

• Take three deep cleansing breathes. Begin concentrating on who you want to send healing energy to.

• Now we are going to take three more deep breaths with each breath you are going to drawing healing, love energy in through your crown chakra and feel it collect behind you front heart chakra.

• On the fourth deep breath you will breathe energy in through your crown like above, but on the exhale you are going to pop open your heart chakra and feel the energy flow out to the whoever you have been concentrating on.

• Continue to take deep breathe with each inhale more energy comes in through your crown and each exhale it flows out through your heart chakra

• You can continue this as long as feels right.

• When you are done close your heart chakra

• Take three more deep cleansing breaths

• Make sure to ground and center
