she is one of my good friends, she said she can't teach me to control energy work, before I learn to control my other emotions.

That seems silly to me. Forms of control in one area can move to be used in another. Humans are very good at generalizing experiences.

In terms of getting rid of excess energy - I've been doing a lot with ablutions recently after interacting with my clients (I work with Adults with Persistent Mental Disorders). Usually these aren't as complete as the Muslim ones (though I have begun to consider carrying bottles of water in my trunk for on-the-spot ablutions) and mostly involve running water over my hands and washing my face.

Yeah, Injust finished reading robert bruce's "energy work" and that gave me great ideas for releasing the energy.

Care to expand on that?

Well in robert's book he had a chapter on energy backup that one might incounter while doing energy work. He stated that if this happens one needs to dumb the energy back into natur. They could use water, and as the water runs over them they can dump the energy into the water, or tehy could go out into nature and just release all their bent up engery that they have acquired while doing energy work.

What are these ablutions you speak of?

Muslim ablutions occur before prayer; I just use them to wash free energy/confusion/emotional responses to my clients.

I do this as well pretty regularly, both to remove my own contaminations or contamination I've picked up from someone else.

My tradition doesn't have that concept, and I don't personally approach it that way, but I know Nuri uses ablutions to dissipate miasma, which would be similar - yes?

Very much so. The concept in my tradition stems from Hellenic and Slavic sources, though the terminology I use is a little different that I think you'd find in either.

What are the Slavic sources? I know the Hellenic root concepts (someday it would be interesting to divide into "purity/no concept of purity" groups and see what we can discover from the comparisons) but not the Slavic.

I find a spiritual level in some cultural practices my family retains, alongside some folk understandings that aren't necessarily explicit, but that I think point to an understanding of "purity," such as with pisanky (the symbols, uses of the pisanky) and in attitudes toward some of the creatures of Slavic myth.

I thoroughly admit though, that these are colored by my Hellenic practice and personal theology and probably aren't mainstream understandings.

You mean the act of making the pisanky eggs then burying them or breaking them?

Yes - the act of making pisanky is sacred in and of itself. The symbols and colors are important in that as well. Some znaci (sometimes znaky, Tea uses zanky I think) and some colors contain explicit references to purity/cleanliness. For instance, symbols such as swirls are meant to "trap" a contaminant (usually as some evil force, like illness, or a creature like a vlkolak or devil).

Burying them or breaking them are often part of Spring fertility rituals - the symbols and meanings of the egg/s being buried or broken are meant to work as sympathetic magic.

You know, somewhat amusingly, all of my recent pisanky eggs have been honoring various gods.

In the Spring I make one in honor of Jarilo's return, and in the Fall, in memorial of His death.
