Book of Shadows: Ball of Energy

So now it's time to take a few minutes to play around with Energy and create a ball. To get some basic step-by-step instructions on how to do this for yourself, click here! First I am going to take a minute to relax my mind and get comfortable as I sit down. Oh, yeah, I'm unbuttoning my pants too because this particular pair of jeans kills me!

Now, remember for this Exercise that it will be quite short but I should be able to visualize Energy by creating a ball. Then I can play around with it and form it into whatever I would like! So I am going to visualize a ball of Energy being created between my hands by holding them six inches apart. I'll imagine this filling up more and more with my Energy as I exhale. I will then try playing with it by making it larger or smaller. Once I am done I will imagine my hands absorbing the Energy and will wipe them to remove excess Energy. Afterward, I'll post my findings below!

I noticed as I concentrated on filling this ball with my Energy that my Clairaudience opened up more briefly. It was fun to shrink the ball and enlarge it. I even trying pulling on it like taffy. It moved with me, however I wanted it to.

This is a very short post and there aren't any pictures to share. But hopefully we can get some more exciting Exercises to do soon!

Inner Temple of Witchcraft: Ball of Energy

Once you're able to feel the Energy from your body, you may wonder "Oh, that's nice and all, Natasha . . . but what the hell am I to do with it?" While there is so much to do with your Energy . . . it's best to take baby steps and start small so you can control and direct your Energy. Once again, I highly recommend purchasing the book that I am reading from--The Inner Temple of Witchcraft by Christopher Panczak--because it offers so much information (more than I can tell you) and really works with you to develop your Psychic Abilities and begin working with Witchcraft. This is definitely one of the best books I have ever read; this man definitely knows his stuff!














So what you're going to want to do is start out like you did at the beginning of our previous Exercise on Feeling Energy. I recommend taking a moment to relax and calm yourself; it takes a minute and won't hurt to try. Then, you'll want to follow these steps:

1. Put your hands 6 inches apart, palms facing each other. Imagine that you are holding a ball of Energy. Think of it like a ball of nothing . . . but you're filling it with your own Energy from your hands.
2. Every time you breathe out, imagine it being Energy coming out of your palms as well as your mouth. Each time the ball fills with more and more Energy. Can you feel it fill up with your Energy? Act as if the Energy changes; make the ball of Energy get thicker and more solid.
3. When you feel the ball of Energy between your hands is "solid" just have a ball (no pun intended) and play with it! Shrink it in size or make it bigger! Pretend to stretch it out or morph it into a shape. The Energy will respond to what you want.
4. When you're done, bring your hands together and pretend you're a sponge absorbing the Energy. As we finished up last time, wipe your hands together to remove the excess Energy.

 You may think you're just playing pretend but this is how Energy responds to our thoughts. If you think it, it'll happen!  In time, you'll be able to pull the Energy from all around you instead of using just your own. Some time down the road you can even give the ball of Energy an intent or purpose by "charging" it to do something such as heal or you can give it to someone or some place. But that's later on down the road! You can even try this out with friends to see if you can feel his or her Energy and how your Energies interact together!

I'll be posting my personal experience with this, soon! =]

Book of Shadows: Feeling Energy

This post is of my personal experiences with feeling Energy. To get basic instructions on how to do this, click here where you will be taken to another post of mine. This will be a fairly short post because it isn't something hard for me to do and it's pretty quick. I don't have any pictures to post of me doing this (as it would be a bit difficult to do so while taking a picture).

First what I am going to do is simply relax and breathe for a few moments to lower my vibrational frequency a bit so I open up more to energy. Now I will hold my hands 3 feet apart, as instructed, and will pick up on information. Then I will move my hands closer together and see what else I pick up on. Afterward, I will wipe my hands together to remove excess Energy. I will then record what I picked up on and felt.

While my hands were 3 feet apart I felt the energy very strongly; the first thought that popped into my head was "strength" and then "will" came along. Slowly, I moved my hands closer together. I felt a shift in Energy when they were about 2 feet apart. So I pulled back and moved them closer again to make sure I was feeling a definite change in Energy and I was. There was another change in the Energy around 8 inches away; once again, I moved my hands back and forth to experience this change. The last thing I noticed was when they were very close (under about 2 inches apart) I noticed that if I let them just stay there without forcing them together, it was as if they pushed themselves away a little. It was very neat!

I would definitely have to say that I easily sense Energy, but it is different for different people. Maybe my Energy is just stronger; I'm not sure. But these are just a few little things I picked up on and the different changes that I noticed. I felt different levels to my Aura. Later on I'll get into Reading my Aura more and will work more with it.

Intuitive Art, a Psychic Abilities Exercise: Elizabeth I as a Princess

Welcome to the first installment of my new series of posts called "Intuitive Art." If you're hoping for a quick read, this isn't the post for you! This will go on and on for quite some time! First, let me tell you a bit about what I mean by the title of this series. By "Intuitive Art" we are going to look at a piece of art and use our Psychic Abilities to intuitively tap into information from what we see.

So, you may wonder, what am I going to touch on in this post? First there will be a brief introduction and then we'll get to the good stuff. Well, here's an idea:

1. History: We'll touch on the history of the painting, artist, and a bit more.
2. Observations: We'll point out things that seem to stick out in the painting.
3. Exercises: We'll focus on 11 Psychic Abilities involving this painting including Clairvoyance, Clairaudience, Clairsentience, Claircognizance, Clairalience, Clairgustance, Empathy, Retrocognition, Remote Viewing, Precognition, and Mediumship.
4. Tarot: This is an added exercise for those of you Tarot Readers! It allows you to make this picture into a card! Don't know anything about Tarot? What about an Oracle deck? No? Just make something up!

Before I get into into the above, I wanted to mention we all have Psychic Abilities. Those of you that are already open to them will find the exercises easier to do. If you aren't open to your Psychic Abilities, make sure you're in a quiet area and just go with what you get for the exercises. Don't just make stuff up like you're writing a novel. But if something comes to you, by all means, write it down. You'll also find that from the 11 abilities listed, you may only be able to get 3 or 4 to come through for you. It's okay; most people never bother to develop the others while some just find it too complicated. You'll find some abilities stronger than others; focus on a few if you'd like.

Keep in mind that this is just a painting so it will take some use of our imagination and let you Guides know this before hand. Ask your Spirit Guides to help tell you a story of this painting whether it's real (remember, Elizabeth I had to pose) or not. Trust what you get. Your Guides may tell you what happened at the time . . . or they may give you a story that they made up to make it like a clip in a movie or book! Accept what you receive.

History

Levina Teerlinc painted Elizabeth I as a Princess in 1559; it was an oil on wood painting. She became a successful artist, painting for the royal court of England; a rival for her male counterparts! She seemed to be admired more than them, as well. She was known around the court for her life-size portraits. Elizabeth I as a Princess was 3'6.75" x 2'8.25". Teerlinc's skill can be seen on this painting of Elizabeth, daughter of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn; it is assumed that Elizabeth is in her late 20s in this painting. The art is that of the Late Renaissance and is currently part of The Royal Collection, Windsor Castle, Windsor.

Some sources say this was actually done by William Scrots between 1546-1547; these sources clam her to be around 13 at the time. Can you pick up on who and when?

Observations

Is there anything that sticks out from the painting? Anything odd? Something that doesn't seem right? Or is there something that catches your eye? What is your initial reaction to the painting?

Exercises

Now what I am going to ask you to do is pretend that this picture is a glimpse of the present. This will help you to better understand a few abilities. 

Clairvoyance: This is the ability to "see" things. Often these will be called "visions." Do you "see" anything happening. Sometimes these will come as though a film is playing or as pictures flashing before your eyes.

Clairaudience: This is the ability to "hear" things. Sometimes it may come to you as though you're physically hearing it aloud, sometimes as though you hear it in your head (doesn't mean you're crazy), or just as sudden thoughts (your Guides telling you information). Is there anything you "hear" from here? It could be literal sounds or just information you pick up from messages.

Clairsentience: This is the ability to "feel" things. This can be emotionally or physically feeling things; it also has to do with touching objects and receiving information (Psychometry) but we can do that with this because we can't physically touch it. But focus on what this makes you feel. Any emotions or physical feelings that come up? 

Claircognizance: This is the ability to "know" things without possibly knowing how you know it. Such as sitting in the car and suddenly you just know a song is on so you change the channel just in time to hear your favorite song! Is there anything you just "know" from this painting? Accept that which comes to you.

Clairalience: This is the ability to "smell" things. Do you smell any flowers or food? Let us all know what odor or fragrance is filling your nose! 

Clairgustance: This is the ability to "taste" things. Do you taste any food or anything else? Let us know!

Empathy: Empathy is similar to Clairsentience because it relates to emotional feelings; however, empathy is also where you just understand someone and/or their situation. Is there anything you understand from this painting? Perhaps you understand how Elizabeth feels or her situation in life. What do you empathize with? This is a natural ability we all are aware of; it just takes some fine-tuning to turn it Psychic!

Retrocognition: This is the ability to look into the past. What I want you to do is to look into what happened before the painting. Do you see any preparation going on? Anything happen? This can be from Elizabeth's point of view, a 3rd person point of view on Elizabeth, or a 3rd person point of view on the area where she was painted. Use any of the "clairs" that we talked about earlier.

Remote Viewing: This is the ability to see something happening at the time. What you are to do is transport yourself there (not literally, of course) and take a look around. Can you see the room? Can you see people moving? Make this happen at the time the portrait is being painted. Use any of the "clairs" we talked about earlier.

Postcognition: This is the ability to see into the future; it's the opposite of retrocognition. What do you see happening after the painting? This can be from Elizabeth's point of view, a 3rd person point of view, or a 3rd person point of view on the area where she was painted. Use any of the "clairs" we talked about earlier. 

Mediumship: This may or may not work; but I thought it was worth a shot. Mediums can contact those that have passed on, spirits, angels, and such. Are you able to contact Elizabeth or those present during the painting? Perhaps the artist? Is there anything that they have to say?

Tarot

If you have a Tarot deck, what card do you think this painting would make based off of the picture and/or what you found out about it. Don't let suits make you shy away from choosing a card. Say, for example, if you feel it's the Three of Cups but don't choose it because it's lacking 3 cups; choose it anyway and pretend the cups are added in! What card do you see it being and why?

If you're an Oracle Reader then pretend this was a card either in one of your decks or in a deck that you can make up. What card do you see it being and why?

Don't Read Cards? Pretend you do! Pretend you're creating your own Oracle Deck where each Card has a name and means something. What would you name this card and why?

Please post your #2-#4 answers and results below as a comment! You can make it anonymously, if you would like; I would love to see them and so would others! I will post mine within the next 24 hours! =]
