I read the page on how to use herbs. but I didn't understand how to invoke elements into herbs. so can you give an example ? that is, the plant will be in front of us and we will imagine that the element enters from all sides of it?

This is advanced magick and requires the ability to invoke/evoke and direct the elements. - Magickal Uses for HerbsExternal ↗

Invoking the elements is very advanced and can be very dangerous. I am speaking from experience here. There are many authors who write from a theoretical and scholastic prospective and have not had the direct experience with certain meditations and psychic practices. I am going to give you *my* personal experiences with the meditations that follow. Remember- THESE ARE MY OWN DIRECT EXPERIENCES AND SOME OF WHAT I EXPERIENCED, YOU MAY OR MAY NOT AS WE ARE INDIVIDUALS, BUT THESE MEDITATIONS *ARE* HIGHLY EFFECTIVE, POWERFUL AND DANGEROUS.

If you:

  • If you take *any* psychiatric medications or medications that affect your brain/nervous system

  • If you suffer from high blood pressure

  • If you have heat flashes from menopause

  • If you suffer bouts of depression

  • If you do not know yourself 100%

  • If you are pregnant

  • If you are prone to having seizures or have epilepsy

I strongly encourage you to turn back and work other meditations that are safer. Once you have overcome any problems mentioned above using safer meditations, you can proceed at a very slow pace if you think you are ready. - Invoking the ElementsExternal ↗

There is an Intermediate Meditation you can try instead.

But this is not for use with herbs. Only to acclimate oneself to the elements.

Personally, I would breathe in the energy from the element and let it out through my hand chakras. This would be done while holding the herbs in my hands, visualizing the energy filling it completely, and reciting an affirmation. To enhance it, you can vibrate the Sanskrit mantra associated with the element. Vāyu for air, Tejas for fire, Jalam for water and Prithivi for earth.

But as stated, it may be dangerous if you are not yet experienced with this kind of energy work.

In addition to what Korpi suggested, here are some exercises that I believe will help you develop these skills:
