Travels into time
I went into my ritual room day. I’d fully cleaned it yesterday, and I was ready to get started. I place different pictures and statues of Elephant around the room, including a poster of Elephant made by Ravenari that Lupa got me as a Christmas gift. I dressed in my ritual garb, including a necklace [...]
Update on energy work
I’ve been continuing to do the fusion of the five elements practice each day. I’ve been noticing both physical and energetic results. Tighter stomach, and more physical energy, and a sense of greater well-being, as well as more energy to work with. What I like about this technique is the emphasis on the integration of [...]
Changes in my energy since the elemental switchover
Since I switched over from the element of Emptiness to the element of Time, its been interesting to track other people’s awareness of that switchover, as well as starting up a new program of energy work. When I was doing the Emptiness working, my energy was heavy, depressive…I was busy working through all of the [...]
Into Time and Space
After I finished my emptiness ritual and had cleansed myself of the paint, I moved right into the ritual to accept time as the new element. I put on the bracelet of elephant hair, and the elephant necklace and put before me the painting to elephant. I asked elephant if elephant would allow me to [...]
Running energy with someone
The other night, I had a friend over and we did some energy work together. Her energy is very intense. She’s done a lot of work with the Tantra system of energy work, which means it’s got a fair amount of kundalini energy being packed, but her personal energy is also a very intense kind [...]
Assorted matters
I’ve been feeling a bit stagnant in my magical practice lately. I’ve been doing my daily rituals, my emptiness working, and even have been involved in a economic activism experiment I hope to post about soon, but being at Heartland did remind me of how important it can be to get out of the usual [...]
Elemental Emptiness Month 6: The Hermit and Fear
3-15-09 I’m in a foul mood tonight. I essentially got told by my spirit guide for this working (one of them anyway) that I have to step up and face my fear of being alone, and accept the very real possibility that I may always be alone. He feels that this fear and the desire [...]
energy work and meditation update
I’ve been continuing to read up on and pursue the Qigong energy work and breathing practices I’ve been learning. I’m contemplating adding Tai chi to the mix, and not the Tai chi you think of being done in the park , but the traditional martial form of Tai chi, which while still soft, emphasizes the [...]
Some insights into Taoist inner alchemy
I’m reading Qigong Meditation: Small circulation by Yang Jwing-Ming. I’m finding this book to be really useful in further refining my understanding of Taoist energy work, particularly on one issue which concerns the retention of semen. If you’ve read any of Mantak Chia’s work, Chia argues that it’s absolutely essential to retain the semen during [...]
Thoughts on energy work
Very recently I had an experience with energy work which really amazed me, because of how subtle it was and yet how how powerful as well. It was a case of someone taking over an interaction and showing me how I was actually over-extending myself instead of allowing myself to flow into the moment. This [...]
