Beginning Energy Work
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.) 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 Protection and are just as wise to attune regularly with your Higher Self, or Spirit, especially to empower your 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 you are in, you learn you can sit with Earth, or Water, or whatever Element (or energy) that calls to you and find your “place of peace” in your 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 Egos, you DO NOT have to quieten it to learn to simply Focus. Imagine standing on a busy street and dozens of people and cars are passing by, 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 you Journey with Three Circles Medicine.

PURPOSE
This aspect is known as your “astral self:. This energetic version of Self can help your Magick and Medicine go further and ignite stronger, more focused, actions than merely utilizing Intent or Will alone in practices. Seeing your Intent through the Focus in your Minds Eye can often help you manifest to Intent into your reality.

Know too that energy from others’ energies will effect you less if you have practices similar to these in place.

Cleanse, clear and shield before and after your Works —but be mindful of your environment. Other people and other places can ooze onto you on the astral plane causing you to feel irritated, magick to fail, plants to wilt, animals to growl/hiss, etc. We are aware, as are the rest of the Practitioners of this plane or, of energies that are on it and that interact with it. We, humans, are the mammal that forgot this when we Awoke.                                         

Think About It

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.

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 we must question and explore them.

Think About It
Where is your value and where do you want it?

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?

Beginning Energy Work
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 you walk with Three Circles Medicine.

Using a method such as this, or one you tailor to your practice, will give you the solid foundation you need to continue to work toward deeper energetic practices. i.e. Astral Protection of Spirit, which builds on regular Protection in Matter. We travel energetically BOTH WAYS.

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 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.

Beginning Practicum
INDIVIDUAL SPELL
Spell One, Banishing

Now that we are into the next phase of the moon and you have Attuned to the Higher Self, made a pact with Luna, and are doing a 28 Day Moon Watch, 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?

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. T aste it. 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”?

Below you will find the moon phases and their energetic uses, the same ones from before.

This time though, 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.

That sort of timing is not the goal of this Work, however. Those are “guardrails” or “limitations of practice” , or “follow the rules”.

Do you walk a specific Path? That is okay too, but he Universe is a little more open than “one way”.

This is the first of your “any time, any place” Works, or Craft. This is a strength builder to pull you OUT of your energetic confinement and Self-imposed limitations. This is to begin exploring your metaphysical boundaries and Experience the powers that exist for ALL OF US, ALL OF THE TIME.

This is Universal energy that we are working with. We Work here many times over at Three Circles Medicine.

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

SPELL ONE
INDIVIDUAL SPELL
BANISHMENT

Working a Banishing will be our first spell, an Individual Spell as we walk Wahya Circle.

What would you like to “banish”?
A bad habit? A person? A “road-block” to Abundance? Something else?

How do you want to banish?
Jar? Candle? Words? Glass breaking? Cord cutting? Ribbon? Energetic? Sigil?

Do you want to call upon anything on your Path?
Elements? A Deity? Ancestors? Plant or Animal Allies? Others?

What do you feel?
What is calling to you with a “banishment” purpose behind it? Will banishing this benefit you most? What is the collateral effect of your actions? Did you Divine?

There are as many approaches to magick as there are people on the planet. We ask WHAT CALLS TO YOU? What’s in your magick?

PLEASE NOTE: There is NO “wrong answer”. Simply the questions to be answered. How do you answer them with your Magick or Medicine?
