Understanding Energy

As discussed in previous Lessons and found in the oracle writings of many great Practitioners, the Universe is made up of energy that cannot be created nor destroyed, only transmuted. (At least not according to agreed upon global physics of this Time, Space and Dimension.) From deep inside of your Being to the great vastness of the Universe, there is energy. Energy reacts to thought and emotion like throwing rocks in a pond.

This is one of many reasons why it is imperative to keep psychic Protections and those who access this energy are just as wise to attune regularly with the Higher Self, or Spirit, especially to empower personal practices. Doing this Self Work with energy is also sometimes needed to fine tune a moment of peace, a meditation of peace for you or Mother Earth for example.

It is imperative that no matter what situation we find ourselves in, we learn that we can sit with Earth, or Water, or whatever Element (or energy) that calls to us. We find our “place of peace” in our Mind’s Eye.

Experience only that thing, or feeling, or smell, or whatever it may be, unadulterated or uninterrupted in thought. Find it in your place, your Mind. Your Witches Eye.

Is it “too busy” in your mind?

Although this speaks directly to unhealed Shadows and unchecked or unhealthy Egos, we DO NOT have to quieten it to learn to simply Focus.

Imagine standing on a busy street and dozens of cars and people are passing by, honking, bumping into you, pleasantries of the Community are said… but you need to Focus on one person.

Can you do it?

This is how we are always wise to begin our Experiences of the energies that Be in our Streams of Consciousness as we Awake.

PRACTICE. PRACTICE. REST.
PRACTICE SOME MORE.

If you have already psychically crafted your magickal place, go to it.

Is it something you have created personally, or discovered through meditation with others or ecstatic practice?

If you HAVE NOT psychically started, begin constructing one mentally, impenetrable to outsiders, at this time. We will be revisiting it many times as we Journey together in 3CMM.

PURPOSE
This aspect that we are connecting Consciously to is known as the “Astral Self”. It is a part of each of us both as manifestation as individual Divine Energy and as a collective energy as the same time.

This energetic version of Self is the one building that special place for our powerful hidden Workings. It will help all Magick and Medicine go further and ignite stronger and more focused in actions than merely utilizing Intent and lighting a candle, or Will and a sigil alone in practices. Seeing personal Intent through the Focus in the Minds Eye can often help manifest one’s Intent into reality much faster.

Know too that energy from others’ energies will effect you less if you have practices similar to these already in place. This is especially true when doing a Work with a Partner or Group.

As stated, cleanse, clear, ground and shield before and after your Works —but be mindful of your environment.

Other people and other places can sometimes ooze onto you on the astral plane causing one to feel irritated, irrationally angry, upset, nauseated, “too hot”, “too cold”, magick to fail, plants to wilt, animals to growl/hiss, etc.

We are aware, as are the rest of the Practitioners of this plane, of energies that are on it and that interact with it. We, humans, are the mammal that forgot this when we Awoke.

Balance

As humans, we are typically taught by our Caregivers, Elders and Ancestors. We are taught that many unpleasant things in life must simply ‘be accepted’.

If you are not coming from a place of Ego, this is not always true. Balance in your life is the goal to be achieved, or strived for, first and foremost. Balance is not allowing the Subtractive to rule over the Additive NOR the Additive to rule over the Subtractive.

Moderation. Balance. Homeostasis.

You will feel this when the energy balances for you. Your life, your personal Energy, will flow like water does with less obstacles when balanced. Emotions like Peace and Joy are more easily felt. Your life will be fluid and emotion will not be what guides your reaction to all things, but logic will carefully respond.

Please know, each person is different. How one’s life flows is not like another’s as “no two Paths are the same.” Some may actually Experience deeper emotions than others and that is okay. It is when we overreact and let those overreactions dictate our responses that do NOT serve us, that “emotional response” must be questioned and explored with Shadow Work.

Think About It
Where is your value and where do you want it? Do you “react” to being hurt by others, or do you “respond”?

Use this time to think about what stands between you and our Universal Balance of Energy. Think about how you work with Higher Self and Universal energy.

Is this a new concept for you? How will you utilize the relationship that develops as we become balanced humans? How are you strengthening the relationships between you and the energy of Higher Self and Universe? Do you? Should you?

Exercises I and II

Before we move on to the Art of “banishment’, you will find below the exercises related to Cleansing, Clearing, and Grounding using a similar technique as practiced last week with Attunement. We do not say there is “only one way” but many ways to do this exercise. It is imperative to establish these practices as we only expound upon them as we Walk the Circles together.

Utilizing a method such as this, or one tailored to your personal practices, will give the solid foundation needed to continue to work toward deeper energetic practices. i.e. Astral Protection of Spirit, which builds and required regular Protection of Self in Matter. We travel energetically BOTH WAYS, in Spirit (through Astral) and Matter.

RECOMMENDATION
Please use these offerings to mold and fine tune your own practices after reading or hearing the technique.

(Audio file at bottom of Lesson covers entire Lesson.)

TECHNIQUE
This one is to prepare you for the use of magicks such as banishment. Banishment is often thought of as a “dark art” or “dark magick” by unlearned Practitioners, but that it is not always true.

We banish habits. We banish harmful thoughts. We banish throughout our day. We are soon to move to energies OUTSIDE of Self in exploration, and they may need banishing, too.

Purpose: To continue laying groundwork for strengthening of Self, future magicks and psychic explorations.

Objective: To explore optional methods of the aforementioned techniques through regular practice.

MEETING YOUR HEALING ENERGY
EXERCISE I
Be seated, or lie down in your comfortable spot, wherever that may be, without any disturbances. No electronics. No ringing phone. With the exception of those named, have little or no energy outside of your own if you are able. Guides, Familiars, Animal Allies, Ancestors and others are welcome to walk with you.

Have a glass of water within reach.
Be warm. Be fed.

Release any energies that may be remaining from your day —or the day(s) before, in your chosen method.

Feel your surroundings.
Acknowledge them.
See everything in your Mind’s Eye as you acknowledge it, allowing it to drift away as a cloud in the sky, float as a leaf on a moving stream, cars passing by on a highway, however you see your awareness give these things shape, let them. Do NOT force any thoughts.

Take a cleansing breath.

DEEP BREATH IN THROUGH YOUR NOSE.

DEEP AUDIBLE BREATH OUT THROUGH YOUR MOUTH.

Close your eyes and see (imagine), or feel, the energy drain down, …down, …down, from the top your head, …slowly, …slowly down to the soles of your feet.

Use your hand if you need in order to physically train yourself to begin feeling motion flowing “down”, beginning at the top of your head, or crown, and moving downward.

ONE

Continuing through your torso, through your seat, down to Earth.

TWO

See or feel the energy that no longer serves you pouring out of the palms of your hands and soles of your feet like water. It too, …down, down, down to the ground.

THREE

By the action of drinking, ask the Element of Water to help you cleanse your body energetically as you are sipping slowly from your glass of water.

FOUR

Now, see a pale bluish-white light, begin emerging from you, eyes still closed but blindingly bright —as Fire and changing as it leaves you, dimming to a muted red as it moves away from your Being to be transmuted.

FIVE

See, or sense, the energy dispersing into Earth or the atmosphere of Air around you as if the energy is a dissipating smoke … or, breeze of Air coming out of your body to become an energy that benefits.

This was the energy of that troubling thought you have been having recently.

It has a name.

Give it to Air.

Forcefully breathe out, or blow out, to give this word to Element Air to help you transmute it.

This is all the time you will allow that energy to have power over you.

You are releasing it from you to transmute.

Now, with your eyes closed, cup your hands in front of you. (Just as the picture above.)

In your mind’s eye, your Witch’s Eye, see a white light begin to shine inside your hands, luminescent and piercing through the magnificent life giving Water, blood, in your hands.

See the white light begin to seep out from behind them as you begin to pull your hands further apart.  

The white light stretches between your hands as if it is sticking to your palms.

Suddenly, it is floating between them. Can you see it? An orb of white light floats between your hands now.

What do you feel? Frightened? Silly? Do you smile? Do you feel accomplished? more magickal? Attuned?

Begin to close your hands in a clasp again and see the white light begin to dissipate back into the Aether, you, the Universe.

Open your eyes and sit a moment with the completion of the Exercise. Think about how you FEEL working with the thing that is a part of all of us. Know that energy is unconditional, eternal, pure, and desires to work with you as it is part of the Universe.

Sit with the emotion it elicited from you. You will experience this again. PRACTICE. Work this muscle to best serve you.  

MEETING YOUR ENERGY TOO 
EXERCISE II

You do NOT have to do this exercise at the same time. It can be completed later the same day or the next day. We only ask that you complete it because we build on knowledge gained/learned from these energetic practices.

For this exercise, you will repeat through the count of “Five” to release/cleanse/ground. Once you have done so, begin here.

With your eyes closed, clasp your hands in front of you.

In your mind’s eye, your Witch’s Eye, see a white light begin to shine inside your hands, luminescent and piercing through the beautiful life giving Water, blood, in your hands —as we did before.

This time, the light is bright enough to show you the bones that lie beneath your flesh. Can you see them? See the white light begin to seep out from behind them as you begin pull your hands apart.  

The white light begins to change color as it is stretches between your hands as if it is sticking to your palms, this time in a rainbow of color, or shimmering in the color you need to see.

Suddenly, it is floating between them. Can you see it? An orb of spinning fluid light floats between your hands. What do you feel this time? Do you still feel silly? Did you smile this time? Accomplished? Magickal? Attune?

Each of the colors you see is connected to a different Element. Make a note of what you see as it is usually a theme of energy that you are to work with throughout your current practices. What color energy do you see? Is one color more prevalent than another? Explore that. Greet it. Show gratitude for working with your Higher Self and Universal Energy. What do you feel?

This Experience is uniquely yours. This is magick YOU will build on for the Practices of YOUR CHOSEN PATH.

Begin to close your hands in a clasp again and see the rainbow light begin to dissipate back into the Aether, you, the Universe.

Open your eyes and sit a moment with the completion of Exercise II.

Think about how you FEEL working with the thing that is a part of all of us. As stated, know that that energy is unconditional, eternal, pure, and desires to work with you as it is part of the Universal. Sit with the emotion it elicited. You will Experience something like this again and again throughout your practical development in working with energy.

INDIVIDUAL SPELL
Spell One, Banishing

Now that we are into the next phase of the moon and we have Attuned to the Higher Self, made a pact with Luna, and are doing a 28 Day MoonWatch, you are now asked to utilize your senses of Matter to observe what is happening around you since starting that Moon observation.

Take stock.

Have you seen the moon yet? What do you feel your environment is saying? Have you noticed the time differences yet? Location in the sky?

Look at it. Is the sky Osage Blue, or celestial black?

Listen to it. Are sirens blaring by? Birds singing?

Smell it. Are flowers blooming? Did someone forget to take out the trash again?

Touch it. Are you barefoot on your lawn? Did you plant seeds in dirt for a garden?

Taste it. Can you taste the Air? Is it metallic and ozonated, or thick and humid? Cold? Was it so cold it burned your lips?

What about your life? Those around you? Are you rested? Have you eaten? When will you? Will it be “enough”? How do you define, “enough”?

This time, think about what spell you would like to Work or the Manifestation you would like to see. Magick, complimentary to the Moon Watch, but each with its own Intent.

We are transitioning and as we do, we will be moving through or towards the time that most Practitioners consider ideal for various types of energy shifts and Works.

Read about the meanings of each phase as we go through them. Vocalize to yourself a little Invocation of Intent for that time. It is as simple as stirring your tea.

GOAL
Timing is not the goal of this Work. We will challenge ourselves and work OUTSIDE of “time constraints” as time in the way we understand it in modern times IS NOT the way indigenous and the Ancient lived in Harmony with the Natural World.

However, those are primarily considered “guardrails” or “limitations of practice” , or a “follow the rules” for this Lesson.

Do you walk a specific Path?

That is okay, but consider that the Universe is a bit more open than “one way” or “binary”. As we are decolonizing on this Walk with 3CMM, we ask that an open mind to various possibilities is kept in order to remain clean, clear, and curious.

This is the FIRST of your “any time, any place” Works, or Crafts at 3CMM. This is a strength builder to pull you OUT of your energetic confinement and Self-imposed limitations that ALL of us have succumbed to at one time or another. This Work is designed to begin exploring your PERSONAL metaphysical boundaries and Experience the powers that exist for ALL OF US, ALL OF THE TIME. it is not simply the ones we were told of as children nor the ones society dictates to us now.

This is a PERSONAL Path of your choosing. You do what calls to you.

This is Universal energy that we are Working with and will Work with many times over at Three Circles Medicine and Magick.

In THIS, Spell One, you can show us what you are energetically made of. Your Work won’t lie! YOU. ARE. CHALLENGED! ;-)
