not sick anymore, but i do have good news. I think i finally get the grounding thing. Here is what i do...
I cant seem to picture myself as a tree so i become part tree, like half plane half human. So i lok like i am growing branches and stuff but i still look like me. So after i get the image in my head i start to ground. I feel my roots growing straight into the ground in a counter clockwise dubble helix from both of my feet. As i go deeper into the earth i send out my excess energy with each fleeing breath and grow closer to the ground with each inhale. After i am down a ways i feel stuck to the ground and my feet start to burn and ach. So after i feel my feet hurt so much i release all the excess energy in my feet and return my roots to me. After i do that i feel calmer and relived. And after i did that the first time i slowly got better, so i think it helped alot...^_^ I also meditated 10-20 minutes between groundings to i could get it down. So yah, hope i dont have one of those problems.

I'm still on lesson #2, I don't feel I can move on yet Dx
Lastnight I was practicing, I tried the Sun &&pink because it's what worked before, but it didn't that time. So I tried the Moon &&blue because it was night, so I felt mroe connected to the Moon. It worked, but I think I did something wrong.
So I was concentrating on the energy, it didn't feel hot, or cold, just kinda warm and cool at the same time. My left hand started to tingle in a strange way and the ball began to feel hot and freezing at the same time, it was hard to describe. I was trying to hold it in one hand, then the other, which I managed to do. After a while my left hand just started to burn, like I was holding dry ice. So at this point I obviously stoped, but my hand was hurting so bad, I have no clue what I might have done wrong! My hand is still a bit sore, like if your skin is almost about to blister, but it doesn't.
Other stuff, I am able to create an energy ball within 30 seconds now, but they often become bigger than I want. Sometimes it's hard to control the size of it [wether it be big or small]. Any hints?

You may just be a natural energy worker, or someone who just doesn't have control over their aura or personal energy. It's no big deal, I promise! Nothing that can't be fixed with practice.
You said you couldn't make an energy ball without both hands? Try making it the size of a ping-pong ball by making the space between your hands the size of a ping-pong ball. Do it slowly. Form the outer shell of the ball first, and try to make it white. Then try to fill the inside with water. Yes, I said water energy. Fill it with light clear/blue water, from the bottom up. When it gets to the top, cut off the energy from your source and hold it in your left hand. (Which would probably be your receptive hand since you're right handed, which makes sense that it "jumped" to your left hand earlier.) Picture it there for a few seconds, then let it roll to your right for a few seconds. Set it down somewhere, and ground yourself.
Don't overwork yourself even though you're catching up. Especially if you're sick. I wouldn't do any energy work but grounding and centering if you're sick. If you're healthy, keep 2-3 hours in between sessions. Even meditation should be considered an energy lesson, so don't do the above excercise and then go right into meditation.
You'll get there, I promise. And it'll take a while for me to figure out what, exactly, your problem is, but we'll get to the bottom of it, I promise.
Bright Blessings

Lesson #5
This lesson will go over the most basic shielding. Remember to try to not get frustrated when you're learning, and don't overwork yourself. Also, I can't say this enough: BE SURE TO GROUND YOURSELF AFTER YOU'RE DONE. It is for your benefit, I promise. Also, take it one step at a time. I know some of you are more advanced energy workers than others, and you want to experiment a little bit, but try to experiment with what I give you, try not to skip ahead.
Reminder: Do NOT do any kind of energy work during a thunderstorm, or when there's dark, scarry clouds outside. Like I said, I'll show you how to shield against lightning, but even then it's not smart to do such things.
First, like always, find a place where you won't be disturbed. Clear your mind of negativity before you begin.
Sometimes it is best to make your shield(s) while lying down or standing up, so try to do one or the other. Take colored energy from your energy source like you have been for energy balls, and picture it forming a shell around you. (Some people do better with a bubble, some an egg--just do what works for you, just as long as the energy surrounds your entire body.)
Sometimes it works best if you do it from head to toe, or toe to head. Try both and see what's best for you. If you're doing it this way, you could picture the shield "filling up" with energy, or you could picture it spiraling on top of each other like clay coils. Try both to see which ones work for you.
When your shield is up to your head/down to your toes and finished, cut off the energy from the energy source.
Now, for you more advanced people, you can try to program your shield. I find that shielding for something good is easier than shielding against something bad.
You can program your shield many different ways. Here are just a few:
--Picture a drop-down menu in the energy. (In case you couldn't tell, visualization is the key.) On the drop-down menu, you could have options like; Bring happiness, wealth and fortune; Let good things come to me; and, May the Gods watch over me.
--Extend yourself into your shield and infuse it with your intention, much like getting a shot infuses the ability to fight off a desease.
--While you're bringing up the energy, think over and over again your intentions. This is what I do and it does take a little bit of multi-tasking, but I have faith in you!
Once you get done with programing it, ground yourself and go about your day. You may wish to add some more energy, and you may just as long as it's the same color and the same program. Remember to ground yourself after you add more.
So you've got plenty to experiment with, including the usual color and energy source. Please refrain from shielding against anything negative for now, you can try that next week. It's just really important that you get the fundementals down before you go on to the next lesson.
And, as always, Happy Findings, and may you Blessed Be

I'm not to the point I'm working with shielding yet, but I couldn't help but read the warning and be quite curious. I feed of Storm Spirit's energy... in both directions. Deliberately... for a number of years. So I guess I'm a bit caught off by the warning which implies that this is a bad thing to do. Perhaps a combination of care and absolute veneration for Storm Spirit makes this work for me somehow?

I've just heard that lightning has struck near those dealing with magickal energy in a thunderstorm--or even otherwise. I would excercise caution, no matter who you are. Since I don't know your personal situation, I would just say to be very careful and try to talk to Storm Spirit to make sure you're not doing anything offensive.
Also, another thing to add is if you're "in" with the Unicorns they might protect you in a storm. Unicorns are said to have power over the weather.
I guess that you should consider yourself lucky, and when you get to the point of shielding, if you want you can PM me and I'll tell you how to shield against lightning.
Blessings!

I've never been great at energy working, and I usually get discouraged and stop trying, but I want to change that. It effects my spell work, among other things. So I think I would like to become a student. If you're still taking students? I won't be caught up for a while of course. confused
Erm, anyway, I understand lesson 1, when I rub my hands together, I can feel the tingling sensation and heat. But once I reach lesson 2, I'm a bit confused.
When I practice making the energy ball, I can't see it with my eyes open even though I'm imagining it as being green. I'm drawing ( I think ) from the earths energies and trying to form it between my hands. I can feel tingling, but that's it. I'm not sure if I'm actually drawing from the earth, or my own energies either. Also, I can only see the ball with my eyes shut, but I feel like I'm just imagining it then. Am I supposed to be able to see it with my eyes open? I almost feel stupid when I'm staring off between my hands and only seeing leaves. sweatdrop
Then afterwards, because you said grounding is so important, I tried to ground. Even though I don't have much experience with that either. Well, I imagined energy spiraling from my body into the earth. During this, I started to feel really tired and drained. Like, I was being emptied of everything. After I stopped, I was still tired and had a slight headache. Any idea why?

Like, I was being emptied of everything. After I stopped, I was still tired and had a slight headache. Any idea why? Sure, I would love to have you as a student!!! I'll get you on track right away. Alright, lesson 2--First off, most people don't see the energy ball with their physical eyes. Mental visualization is a big part of energy work, I don't care who you are. Don't worry about seeing it for now, or ever, really. It will work, I promise. Alright, since that lesson isn't working out for you, I'm going to re-write you a whole new lesson 2. Don't you feel special? lol/jk Choir-Angel's Personal Lesson #2 I'll put this all in the magickal number 9 easy steps for you....1.) Find something to eat. Something like bread and cheese--make sure it's your favorite. Grab something to drink, too. Just not something that's supposed to be hot/cold because you might be working a while. 2.) Find a room where you won't be disturbed for about half an hour. If you have houseplants, grab them and set them by your food. (Make sure your food is out of your way/off the floor.) 3.) Alright, now pick your favorite color, sit in a chair, and picture that favorite color coming up from the center of the earth, through all the layers (I can't name them now...), through all the layers in your house, through the legs of the chair, through your legs, up your body, down into your arms and into your hands, and through your hands, and into the space between your hands, forming the outside of a ball. 4.) Now fill the inside of your ball the same way as in #3. 5.) Try to hold the ball in your dominant hand. (If you're right-handed, put it in your right hand.) What do you feel? 6.) Try to hold it in your non-dominant hand. What do you feel? 7.) Put the ball under your chair. If you have a houseplant sitting there, touch it with both hands. Play with its leaves. Do this for a few minutes. 8.) If the energy ball is still under your chair, pick it up and offer it to the plant. If the plant wants it, set it down in the soil or directly in the plant. If the plant doesn't want it--put your little energy ball near a window, but away from your bed, if you're in your bedroom. Now the energy ball is grounded. 9.) Now enjoy your food and drink! After this, you're grounded, and you're ready to move on. Just remember to not try any more energy work for a while. For your specific situation, I would suggest about 24 hours. I hope this works out for you! Tell me if you have any more problems. Happy Findings, and may you Blessed Be

Lesson Five:
For this, I was lying in bed, and I used my usual green earth source. I guess you could describe my bubble-ish thing as a misshapen egg shell... I actually visualized a ball of energy forming around my solar plexus, then expanding (kind of, I really don't know how to explain it...) around me. I randomly decided to reinforce the shell with hexagons (ever since I played, watched, and read .hack, I've been obsessed with that shape...), and visualized my intention (I wanted to be able to concentrate better on the four projects I was supposed to do over spring break) forming words all over the shell. So I basically had a giant green shell full of hexagons and the word "concentration" all over it.
I don't really know if I'm concentrating any more than usual, but I did get one of the four done... XP
So... Now I get to try again!

Thanks.
I tried again, this time for sleep. I made the bubble purple, because I heard that purple makes it easier to sleep (like a purple bedroom or something).
(Jeez, I'm yawning while typing this... constantly... lol)
Anyway, I didn't get to sleep fast, really, but I woke up easier in the morning, which I guess means I got a more rejuvenating sleep...
I seem to be having mixed results with this... It's like the shields are half-asswardly working... Like with the first one, I thought about the reports constantly, but I was like "Oh, I'll do them later, I still have time..." and I only got one done. And then with the second one, I didn't fall asleep as quickly as I'd hoped, but (I think) I stayed asleep, or at least had a deeper sleep than usual... (Then again, 12:00 is better than 3:00, right? *sighs*)
Another thing I noticed (Now I'm ranting again... Great...) is that when I ground, I seem to have an almost automatic way of separating my own energy from the energy I "borrowed" from the earth. I'll send the roots down from my feet, and begin almost pumping energy from them. Then, all of a sudden, I'll be like "Oh! That's it, then." and draw the roots back. It's almost like it's a switch, or like... *click* done...
Okay, I think... (THINK) I'm done ranting now...

Yeah, I know what you mean about grounding. Those who have worked with energy for a while or have an innate knack for it will find the difference between their energy and borrowed energy very quickly. And your shields, like magick, will respond to your thoughts. If you think they *might* work, then they might. If you KNOW they'll work, then they will.

I just want you to know, that I still haven't had the chance to try your new lesson for me. I was going to yesterday, but I had two people over, one wouldn't leave and the other just showed up. x_x I would today, but I'm really sick now. Well, not really sick, but my sinuses are just awful and so I stayed home today. confused As soon as i'm better I will though, hopefully soon.

Yeah, I agree that it's better to do not much magickal work when you're sick. Especially energy work. Well, I hope you feel better! 3nodding
