Ideas on how to ENERGIZE your energy shield....

[The Crone]

Seems many around me and a few here on the board seem to have a loss in their energy ..... when the energy is low that can lead to illness....with the winter months coming on here in the Middle of Now Where....what are some suggestions on REVING up the energy?

I like to cleanse my outside and in....

Outside a good hot LONG bath in sea salt and sage....clears out the neg energy in the lungs too....

Inside I do a juice fast for 2 days then eat locally grown (or my own grown) veggies for 2 days.....then on the 5th day I eat some type of wild meat.......

During this week of cleansing...I try to meditate more...


and a real good thing during this time is NOT TO WATCH the depressing NEWS!!!!!! nor read the papers


I think of it as a week at the spa....but more affordable!


What do you all do? I need to add something to this week of energizing...hey I also go to work everyday..wish I didn't need to but hey...the more energized I get the more the people around me start smiling.....

I don't worry about it that much.......... My energy ebbs and flows, so I just bitch and deal................ Energy is returning now and soon I will be at full throttle again...............I regurlarly do a protection spell for me and mine ............one of the few I do..........:D

Thanks Old Witch...you sound like you take it as it comes...does your energy follow the moon? we are coming up on the 1st quarter...or have you noticed?

I know the full moon effects many, but the new moon is my energy time...never need to do much for energy then...

Protecting you own.....hmmmm I know many who do this... I do it very little...like if my son calls and says he is needing more...or my daughter that has mono says she could use a little extra I say an extra white light to her thingy.... but to do it on an on going process I don't....maybe I should start.....or maybe I am just lazy HAHAHAHA

I do booster spells.............just to be on the safe side.........but I usually stand in the backyard and think....... keep the spells power up and send a little extra protection to those who are in need of it. I have a circle outside that I do that in.......:D .......as far as the moon goes......It's been the new moon.........and I was completely depleted on Mon............... hmmmm....... could be...............

Hm I wonder if this would've worked better in Magick & Rituals? Doesn't matter.

Anyway, back to the question. I do kundalini yoga/chakra work, meditation with grounding and centering, and of course cleansing as you mentioned is a great idea - cleanse the yeucky stuff out, draw in more positive energy.

Physical Exercise, followed by a sauna or jacuzzi. Drink plenty of water, at least 1.5 liters/day. Pranayama breathing exercises combined with visualizing your chakras opening from muladhara to sahasrara. (base to crown) Hatha Yoga abso-lutely.

I think this is an interesting thread! If I need a boost or I need to get rid of a bit of negativity, I take a shower and visualize the water taking all of the negativity away from me and sending it down the drain.

Then, I picture that I'm an empty vessel and that the water then fills me up with positive "happy" energy.

It really is amazing how often it works! The trick is not to do it before you go to bed. If you are tired to begin with, you obviously won't get an energy 'boost', but you will get the sense that things are better.

It also adds a little something extra before you do a spell, although it's not necessary nor is it technically a "ritual." I do this on a day to day basis. Sometimes, I think it's the only thing that gets me through the day! ;)
