Greetings, Dear Family in Zefs!
I would like to write this post because in my opinion, many people misunderstand how visualization and energy work actually function.
From my own personal experience, I very often used to visualize without any real feeling behind it, and I couldn't understand why I wasn't achieving success. Also, because of my nature, I always wanted to understand and figure out exactly how visualization itself could help me. After almost a year, I began to study and understand how visualization, and energy work in general, actually works. Just sitting there and visualizing your success or your goal isn't enough. Of course, it works for some people, but that doesn't mean the effect is something stable or reliable.
Visualization by itself is a method for directing energy. Essentially, you already have the necessary energy for your goal, and in order to direct that very energy, you visualize your success, thereby giving the energy a path and a direction, rather than just letting it drift on its own. Visualization without feeling or sensation is just a training exercise for the mind and imagination. You need to FEEL it, not just fantasize about it. The more astral senses you engage, the higher your chance of success.
As for energies: for example, you feel envy, that is energy. You feel happiness, joy? That's also energy. You're very angry? That's also energy. Once you understand this, it becomes much easier to grasp what energy work actually is and how visualization really functions.
Now let me give you an example of visualization and energy work. Someone has hurt you very deeply and you're angry, rage is boiling inside you. You need to focus on that energy, "notice" it, and feel where in your body that energy is located. Anger, for example, is often felt lower down, in the area of the root chakra, and that area can often feel like it's "burning" during intense anger.
Once you've found where a given emotion shows up, you need to give that energy a form, how? This is where VISUALIZATION helps you. Through visualization, you give form to energy that ALREADY EXISTS, in our example, that's anger. You visualize a fiery red ball of rage, you feel that rage, and you give it a form, for example, the form of a sphere. Then you compress that sphere and make it more concentrated but smaller, and after that you can work with that energy.
I strongly do not recommend sending such a ball of anger directly at the person who wronged you, since that energy is still a part of you, and no one in their right mind would want to create a connection with the person who hurt them. So this is where cleansing that energy comes in.
So now we already have our energy sphere, we've understood what energy is and how to give it form, and now all that's left is to cleanse it, thereby removing the connection to us. For this, you can use affirmations, repeated 9 times, something like "this energy is no longer connected to me in any way," and then you can imagine the "thread" connecting you and that energy sphere being severed. After that, you can say that this energy is now pure, raw anger, which can be directed at the person who wronged you (only for purposes of justice, not simply because you don't like someone).
What I wrote above can be understood as a kind of practice of alchemy and energy work.
Now let's move on to a new example. Let's say you want to find a job and earn more money. First, understand for YOURSELF why you need a lot of money. Maybe you want more money to buy yourself a car and feel better than your neighbor who also bought a new car? Or maybe you'll feel more confident if you have a lot of money? Notice, these goals aren't bad or something to be ashamed of, this question only needs to be asked in order to understand and have a clear picture.
Once you understand your goal, try to VISUALIZE yourself having a lot of money, having achieved your goal (for example, having shown off in front of your neighbor), feel those emotions, let them pass through you. Notice, in this example I wrote that you should start with VISUALIZATION, unlike the previous example, where you already had the energy you needed. This is another method for how you can feel the particular "energy" that you need, and visualization will help you feel that energy, but in order to feel it, you must experience the emotions, not just dryly visualize, as I already noted above.
After successfully visualizing with emotion, you can feel exactly where that particular emotion shows up in your body, and then you'll need to say affirmations. For example: "Large sums of money come to me under the most favorable and safe conditions and manifestations for me." And then you breathe that energy into yourself and forget about it for a while.
*You shouldn't check your bank account every second after that, it's like planting seeds and then digging them up every time to check whether anything is growing.
Now, a brief timeline of the process: You visualized your goal → you felt the emotions you needed → you obtained the energy you needed → you gave the energy direction through affirmations → you received that energy.
Also, the timeline for the first example: You started out angry → you felt where in your body the anger was → through visualization you gave the anger a form → you spoke affirmations and separated that energy from yourself → you directed it at the person who wronged you.
I gave you two examples, one where you TRANSFORM energy that is ALREADY IN YOU through visualization, and a second where you OBTAIN the necessary energy through proper VISUALIZATION.
Thank you for your time and attention, and I would also like to note that what I wrote above isn't some kind of secret, it's simply a detailed understanding of information that has always been available. In the next post I will post about working with runes and directing their energies.
I would also like to thank Queen Astarte and Father Ares.
Hail Mother Aphrodite and Father Ares.
