Energy work

[Gleb]

Now I am also working on controlling it as it passes through my body, and I direct it to specific locations (I am using it as self healing). In addition, I try to control the amount of energy made. The amount of it depends on my goal (filling a room - more energy, healing a specific area in the body - less energy).

To answer your original concern Gleb before doing any sort of ritual work and/or energy work you should at least consecrate the area with at bare minimum mental techniques and/or sage smudge or any consecrating incense like frankincense or Myrrh.

Part of energy work is 'shielding techniques' where you shield against bad energy/negative energy you should look it up on google

negative thoughtforms/energy have a habit of feeding off of you when you raise your personal energy because you are enhancing/adding to the energy field around the space in which you are doing it and your body/personal energy field

if your feeling distinctive negative vibes/energy consistently you may preform the middle pillar ritual and the either of the banishing rituals of the pentagram which are also types of energy work from the Golden Dawn tradition

I hope this helps qi gong and energy work are wonderful ways to heal yourself and other and gain a sense of peace and connectedness in yourself and with the world around you.

P.S Dr. Yang Jwing Ming's works are excellent books about Qigong and energy work his book Roots of Chinese Qigong is very good for a beginner it explains the history and basic techniques of Qigong and Chinese energy work

I have looked for mountains of data in Google. It's no use, the only results I have got are physics experiments.
When I fill a big amount of space with the energy, it feels like the amount of space is limited. Do you have any ideas of making one of the barriers you have written about?

Gleb I'm not sure I'm following exactly what you are feeling/sensing when you are doing energy work. Are you feeling an entity or just a mass of negative energy? Can you be more detailed as to what you are feeling in the room when you are doing energy work?

Anyway to answer your request I found a good article on the web that may help in shielding. Keep in mind that you can shield your body but you can also expand the energy shield to a room or a area like your house/apartment here is the link http://www.psionicsonline.net/basic-...ing-techniques

I can feel the warm energy as it spreads in the room that I'm filling. But I also have a feeling that something resists and tries to block the energy from being spread, sort of a barely felt border. I am not sure that it's negative energy; though, perhaps it is.

Thanks for the article! I'll try to make the barrier first, then the energy.

TL;DR all of it, but my first thoughts were Reiki - healing using the hands, directing energy for healing, those things...

Just going to toss in my tuppence here.

When I did my first energy work it was in my Wiccan period and the first thing that was fairly much hammered into my head was that when doing energy work you make prepararions and in the following order: Shield (so you yourself are protected), cleanse (for any outside energy or influnce that might be detrimental), ground (any excess energy). When this is done you cleanse the space around you and cast a circle, thus creating a clean area, cordoned off from surroundings, where it is safe to work.

If you want to use Google as a resourse you could try using the words shielding, cleansing and/or grounding to gether with energy or "energy work" and see if something pops up.

[LadyDorothy]

I feel so crass... everyone here cleanses and stuff. I just hold really still and push my energy out.

But, I don't think about logic when I'm using my energy (if someone in my house is not feeling well and I am on the other side, I push my energy to them through the walls).

I practice all the time making energy balls then expanding or contracting them, it really helps a lot with healing and such when you can change the size and function of your energy immediately.

[MoonRaven]

Okay, I admit I am sloppy at times and don't go through the process quite a thoroughly as I should. But having once been hit by a backlash of negative energy I didn't expect and didn't have time to block because I forgot to shield at the beginning, I am so not ever not doing it again. But yeah, I'm a lazy at times too.

I have to admit to being a little surprised to see Ground as the LAST thing you're supposed to do. To create an effective (and more importantly, stable) Shield, I Ground and Center first.
