"Working with Energy"

May 27 - 2002

This portion of the energy series is devoted to using your internal energies to control the external energies.

When you work energies external to yourself, you are using your internal energy to shape and control it, much as you use your hands and fingers to mold clay.

When 'manipulating' energies external to yourself, you MUST be very cautious and be sure you are not damaging the environment or the freewill of others.

We will start here with healing someone or something besides ourselves. If you are healing someone', make sure you have their permission first. The first thing to do is to 'center' yourself. Release all the negative energies you have within yourself and open the channels within so that all the energy flows freely throughout yourself. If the healing is only something small, such as removing pain from a cut finger and aiding the healing blood flow, you can do this with only
your own energy. If the job is much bigger, such as aiding someone in pain relief after a major injury or surgery, then you will need to use energy external to yourself, otherwise you can deplete yourself to the point of being in as bad a shape or nearly so as your 'patient' is in.

When using external energies, gather your own energy first. Open a channel to the earth or trees or other plant life around you. (Plant energy is very beneficial in healing, why do you think flowers and plants are given as get well gifts?) Gather this energy along your channel, shape it into a healing force and then open a channel between this force and your 'patient'. For this next part strong visualization is required. 'See' this healing energy enter into your 'patient's' body, see it flow around the ailing portion of them until the affected portion is completely surrounded. Now use your will to guide this energy into gently squeezing and compressing the 'pain' and 'sick' energy until it collapses in upon itself and is no more. Now guide the healing energy and control it, making it increase the blood flow to the area which speeds healing, at the same time, use it to block the channels which the nerves use to send pain impulses to the 'patient's' brain. With practice, you will be able to set up a channel which will remain open for some time, continuing the work, even after you have had to leave.

After doing such a major working, you will need to 'recharge' yourself. Although it was external energy you used to heal with, it was YOUR energy which shaped it and guided it. You may even have picked up a bit of the negative energies which you forced out of your 'patient'. You need to find a place where you can be by yourself for a bit. Center yourself and release any negative energies into the earth. Then, do not 'pull' energy, rather let the energy flow gently along a
channel you open and let it gently fill you. This should be done as soon as possible so that you don't end up coming down with a cold or the flu.

The energies external to us can be used in other ways also. Example, you are in a situation where two or more people are arguing and it looks as if it might turn to physical violence. DO NOT TRY TO MANIPULATE THE PEOPLE! It is their right to argue! BUT! You can change the energies in the air around them and transform it into a calming energy. If the situation is drastic enough, you can even change the energy around them enough to make them lethargic. By doing it this way, you are still letting them air their opinions and have their discussion/argument, but you have defused the situation enough that it does not turn to violence. If you are able to visualize colors effectively, this can be done in the first case by turning the air around them a calming blue-green, in the second case by 'seeing' the air around them as earth-brown or
gray.

If you have children, this technique can be used at bedtime to help them settle down and get to sleep. Send them to their beds and then center yourself. 'See' the air in their rooms turn a peaceful, restful, midnight blue color, the color of a clear, moonless night. You might be surprised at how fast they fall asleep.

This can also be used if you are walking and know there is a dog ahead that always worries you. 'Picture' this dog as being surrounded by a calming light blue-green color, and as you approach the area even closer, project peace and tranquility into the area ahead of you.

This method can be used in any number of ways. You can influence entire audiences this way, but because you are only setting a mood, you still leave them free to do otherwise if they want to. You are not forcing them. It's kind of like the difference between saying 'Do this!' or 'Would you like to do this with me?'.

People who do weather magic are using their internal energies to shape and guide the external energies.

People who think strongly and long about something are again using their internal energies to manipulate the external.

People can even use their internal energy this way and be doing it subconsciously. Wishing for something is only one way in which people do this.
