Intermediate Energy Work
Witches Chairs
(Trigger Warning)

WITCHES CHAIR SHADOW WORK IS OFTEN CONSIDERED SECOND PERSON – YOU (ANOTHER, OUTSIDE OF I)
(Those with diagnosed conditions such as CPTSD, PTSD, Manic Depression, and other similar diagnosis are advised to work in conjunction with their therapists if need be.)

GOAL: CONSIDER THE 5 W’S FOR THE PERSON, OR FEELING, THAT YOU KEEP IN YOUR “WITCHES CHAIR”. DETERMINE IF IT BENEFITS YOU TO CONTINUE TO KEEP THIS PERSON, OR FEELING, IN THE CHAIR.

PURPOSE: TO IMPROVE PSYCHIC ENERGY CONNECTIONS TO SELF AND HIGHER SELF/POWER, AND STRENGTHEN EMOTIONAL FORTITUDE FOR PERSONAL PRACTICES. THE PURPOSE OF THIS EXERCISE IS TO MORE FIRMLY ESTABLISH YOUR PSYCHOLOGICAL GRASP OF YOUR “TREE” SO FEWER ACTIONS CAN SHAKE YOU FROM IT AS YOU MOVE FORWARD WITH YOUR EVOLUTION.   
 

PREPARATION
Before you start on this deep Shadow Work, cleanse, clear and ground per your method. Have what you need for your Shadow Work tools. Stones. Herbs. Incense. Even going so far as having a fellow Practitioner present if need be. This is heavy work.

Once you are in your safe space and have all of your necessary tools, you may begin.

Please note that this is a HEAVY but necessary Work that we have asked of ALL of the Practitioners that have come through here. This is where some have walked away. This is also where some began their TRUE HEALING as they finally had to face what they knew was there all along. Face it, AND name it.

TO START
Imagine a “hall of chairs”, or a “room of chairs”. Different colors, sizes, time periods, all the way from log seating from distant past to extreme future where Element Air itself can be conjured to rest upon…anything that your Mind’s Eye brings to you is welcome. There are no limits.

Can you see them? Can you see the chairs? What do they look like? Are they ornate as in a castle, or posh beach-side home? Or, are they standard like a doctor’s office or classroom? How do you see them? Are they soft? Do they smell?

Pause here and see those chairs of thought, that are your creation, as you are meant to see in your imagination, Mind’s Eye.

Do you see them more detailed yet?

Sit with this thought for a moment longer until they appear more so for you.

PURPOSEFUL CHAIRS
Now imagine in those chairs is sitting everyone, in memory pieces and the energy you associate with each of them. Anyone who has ever wronged you, hurt you or your loved ones, or trespassed against you or a loved one of which you carry the emotional burden for, is sitting right there. Friends. Family. Acquaintances. They sit there, unforgiven. Hated. Despised. Many sit with ill wishes upon them. If the visage is not there, the pain or hurt they have caused you is. It, the energy, occupies a chair.

Why? Ask your Self why this is being allowed to be Experienced in your Witches Chairs. Why are you allowing pain, suffering, hurt, to continue to exist inside of you? Only YOU can answer that question. How does it benefit you? If you are able to transmute that energy to serve you, then the answer is clear. However, if you find that this energy paralyzes you, prevents your growth, inhibits or does not benefit you in ANY WAY, you are wise to ask WHY.

Looking further into who or what is seated in your Great Hall, we see that there are pieces of others whom you have hurt, or wronged. You may not even be Conscious of the action. There are many you have caused pain and suffering to as well that you do remember. You may not even recognize what the act was, or when, but there they sit.

Do you wonder why? Is it because they did not forgive you for what you did, or, did YOU not forgive YOU for what was done?

Sit with that for a moment. You may find that the Rose Quartz Stone Ally is helpful here. So is the Stone Ally Blue Kyanite if you must go deeper to understand. All of this thought can raise your ire, shake you form your Tree, or simply wash over you in integration. Stay Conscious of what you are doing, what you are feeling. These feelings are allowed. Feel them. Cry. Beat a pillow. Dig in the dirt, literally. All of this when we are finished with our walk through your Great Hall.

Take several deep, cleansing breaths.
When you are ready, walk with us again.

SUPPORT CHAIRS
Now, look over here. Mingled in with that energy, and sitting around, you see that they are not alone. Also seated are your Ancestors. In these darker corners of your Great Hall are those who support you fully from the other side. There are also some energetic impressions of those currently around you rendering healing aid too. Your fellow Practitioners from Golanv Circle see and feel what you are doing and stand vigilant for you while you are working on Deep Shadow.

Look closer. There are beings there from elsewhere too. Envision now that scattered amongst those “non beneficial” chairs are also those who have helped you, benefited you, or shown you a way through, or enlightened you in some way. They are your Guides, your Protectors, your Servitors. They are everything you have manifested to bring you to this point in your life. Is it balanced? Do you see discrepancies in who or what sit amongst your Great Hall of Witches Chairs?

Do you see them?

Before you cleanse, clear, and ground again before writing about your Experience, we ask you to also visualize how large this space is, relative to all the things you are simply “holding onto” or allowing to live “rent free” in your mental or psychic space. Does it benefit you to allow this?

Think about how many chairs you see, Did you see many chairs, or a few? Are there any empty chairs that may be filled with others memories, or thoughts, that can empower you that you have yet to attain? Or are they filled with pain, felt through Empathy, that is no longer benefiting your to carry?

UNIVERSAL BENEFICENCE
The benefit of doing this work is directly correlated with the strength and integrity of your Medicine and Magick, and ability to manifest your reality. Where are you in your Shadow Work? While we weigh what we are carrying, let us also consider if doing for others is hurting you. Is it?

Whether you work WITH or PROTECT FROM various entities, or memories, it is extremely important to have your “bathroom clean” as we learned in Wahya Circle™. Have you been keeping it clean? To have significant energies occupying space in your psyche allows an opening, or a vulnerability, or a weakness, to occur at random, or seemingly inexplicably. You are wise to explore this when working your personal practices, no matter what Path you follow.

We are going to find that continued chink in your armor with this exercise. At least name it. Naming it begins the act of taking non beneficial power from that which you named, transmuting it with continued work, and BENEFITING YOU.

WE are going to expose what lurks in the recesses of your mind. We of Golanv Circle are walking with you as we heal, or banish, this piece of “mental real-estate” that is taking energy from you on many levels.

Once you have gone into your space, answer the following questions for ONE CHAIR in which remains in your mind, or that causes you to emote in a non-beneficial way.

You may ground again now, or wait to cleanse, clear, and ground after answering the questions below.

 FIVE Ws

WHO OR WHAT IS IN THE WITCHES CHAIR THAT YOU MOST PROMINANTELY YOU SEE IN YOUR MINDS EYE?

WHAT PLACED THEM INTO THE WITCHES CHAIR?

WHEN WERE THEY PLACED INTO THE WITCHES CHAIR?

WHY DO THEY REMAIN IN THE WITCHES CHAIR?

HOW MAY THEY FIND RESOLUTION IF NEEDEDTO BE FREED FROM THE CHAIR? (REQUIRES WORK IN FIRST PERSON, OWNERSHIP, ACCOUNTABILITY FOR OWN FEELINGS, PERSONAL STRENGTH TO MOVE FORWARD, FORGIVE, SELF HEAL.)

Take your time with this exercise. Forgiveness may not be something you are ready for. You are to consider the belief, while we each have our own, that those traumas/Traumas we do not address in this lifetime, you are thought to carry them into the next life.

If you have doubt about your answers, ask yourself “why”. Could your perception be skewed? Are your feelings validated by what remains? Attempt this exercise a second time if this doubtful feeling remains and explore the questions relative to it again.


You are asked to write an answer for each question, one sentence minimum for each, up to two paragraphs for each.

Strength to you, Wise One!
Stand in your Power! Own Self and Sovereignty. <3
