Energy Manipulation 101: Quick Guide to Centering, Grounding, & Directing Your Energy

[Music] hello witches today we are going to talk about some fundamental witchcraft 101 topics we are going to discuss centering your energy grounding your energy to the earth and also directing your energy and all three of these techniques are forms of energy manipulation so this is going to be a mini energy manipulation course but before we begin i did want to give a couple disclaimers so um here we go i am in no way shape or form saying that this is the only way to do things this is simply the way that i have learned

how to do these techniques and so you're definitely going to want to have to do your own research to find what take technique works best for you but i will be teaching you my own technique today and each topic deserves at least a full hour to really be thorough in covering these but today is going to be a very very quick guide we are going to breeze through these topics and i wanted this to be more of like a reference video than anything so definitely please do your own research afterwards read lots lots of books

practice practice practice just know that today is a quick guide it is not a thorough guide i could spend hours discussing this topic um and then also if you are unable to visualize a lot of these techniques do involve visualization but if you are one of those people that struggles with visualization you can focus on your physical body sensations and i will guide you through this as we go along with the centering grounding and directing energy techniques but um i want you to focus on your body and how it feels so you might feel a

warm sensation at some point you might feel some tingling either in your fingers or at certain areas of your body so if you can't necessarily visualize like an energy orb for example try focusing on your body and how you physically feel in that moment and you can accomplish the same exact thing so don't worry if you can't visualize you'll definitely still be able to um perform these techniques and then today's video is also going to be complimentary of my video on how to cast a spell so i'm going to link that video down below so

if you are a beginner and you're just beginning to enter the witchcraft world so today's video again is going to be on centering grounding and directing your energy you might want to check out that video on how to cast a spell but now that we've got all the disclaimers out of the way let's get started let's begin with centering our energy this is something that you're going to want to do before any sort of ritual or spell and actually this is something that you can just do in your daily life if you're feeling like your

energies are a little bit unbalanced but what you're going to want to do is you're going to get go into a mini meditation so find a quiet space where you can sit down or lay down whatever physical position is comfortable to you and you're gonna imagine all the energy from the different areas of your body collecting to the center of your being and when i say the center of your being that typically it's different for a lot of people some people imagine the root or sacral chakra some people imagine right around the belly button and

some people imagine right around the heart so whatever that looks like to you for me it's the belly button that is the center of my being but you're gonna imagine all the energy collecting from your fingertips up your arms into the center and then same foot with your legs you're going to go from the toes to your knees to your hips all the way up into the center of your being and when you have that energy there you might notice as you're collecting your energy and putting it towards the center that some areas maybe have

a little bit of extra energy and some areas are a little bit more deficient in energy so this is an excellent way to just kind of recalibrate your your energy in general but you want to collect it to the center because once your energy is in the center that's when you can start directing your energy towards your rituals and spells if you start your spells and rituals without centering your energy first it's really hard to gain the desired effect when your energy is chaotic and all over the place so centering your energy allows you to

take your energy make it less chaotic bring it all into the center and you're going to practice holding it there so again if you struggle with visual visualization instead of imagining the energy poor from all the different areas of your body to the center you can just focus on the center of your body in general and see if you can produce some sort of warm or tingly sensation there really put your intention and your focus to the center and naturally all of your energy should collect to that point and once you have it in the

center you can practice holding it there um sometimes it's in in the beginning it's really difficult to just hold that energy there for a significant amount of time so when you practice this try holding it for longer periods of time and then when you release you set a release and it releases evenly throughout your body so you just imagine releasing that energy from the center letting it flood down your arms down your legs up to the top of your head and your your energy should be rebalanced afterwards so again before a spell or ritual i

would recommend centering your energy that way your energy is collected together and it's not so chaotic and all over the place and you have a little bit more control and this is going to be a very important technique to understand how to do before we get into grounding and before we get into directing your energy so this is like the prequel to all of those so make sure that you have a good handle on this of centering your energy holding it there and then releasing afterwards when you're done um centering that energy so that is

centering that is the quickest overview that i could do of that so let's move on to grounding now we're moving on to grounding your energy and the reason why you would want to ground your energy is because when you are performing spells and rituals it can be really really taxing if you've ever cast a spell before and you were totally exhausted afterwards that typically means you used way too much of your own energy and so it's really nice to tap into other energy sources especially when you get really into spells and rituals you want to

make sure that you are using other forms of energy sources that way you're not depleting your own supply of energy so grounding to the earth energy and by the way there are so many different energy sources that is a whole other video that i could make but we are not talking about that right now we are just talking about earth as an energy source and how to connect to that so again this is something like centering that you're going to want to do prior to your spells and rituals that way you can connect to the

earth energy and pull from the earth and use the earth's energy rather than your own energy that way when you're doing spells and rituals all the energy and intention that's being pushed into that spell is coming from the earth it's not coming from you that way afterwards you are not totally exhausted and you can go about your day and this is something too it's not necessarily with spells and rituals that this takes place you can do this any time of day so if you feel like you're going to have an interaction with a really difficult

person or you're walking into a difficult situation grounding your energy to the earth is really really helpful because you can walk into that situation and being grounded to the earth allows you to not only stabilize your own emotions and where you're at but also be able to pull on the earth's energy when you're speaking to this person or when you're dealing with this difficult situation that way again you're not depleting your own supply of energy and you are grounded you are stabilized and you are using other energy sources to complete whatever difficult task it is

that you need to so let's get into how to ground to the earth so what you're going to do again this is a meditation similar to centering so with centering you have already collected all your energy up to the center of your being that's always what we want to start with first is centering your energy and now we're going to go into grounding so once you've centered your energy you're going to find that point of contact where your body meets the floor this can be where you're sitting this can be your feet on the floor

this can be your back if you're laying down and find that point of contact and imagine roots beginning to grow out of your body and down into the earth's crust so i like to imagine this with my feet i will imagine roots growing out of my feet down through all the different layers of the earth through the rock through the sand through the lava all the way down to the earth's core and in the center of the earth there is a warm inviting orb of energy and this looks different to different people you could for

me it's like a golden light but a lot of people would say it's a violet light it's a blue light you know whatever that looks like to you totally fine and again if you um struggle with visualization this part you can skip you can just focus on that point of contact where your body meets the floor and really connecting to the earth in that way but once you've hit the center of the earth's core you've got your roots that have sprouted all the way down to the center of the earth you can imagine drawing that

energy up from that inviting orb in the center of the earth through your roots all the way back up to your feet or where you're sitting or your back or wherever that point of contact is and now you can imagine that energy from the earth mixing and intertwining with your own energy and so from here you can use the earth's energy to perform spells and rituals again like i said rather than your own energy so that is a very very basic way to ground yourself to the earth and when you're ready to disconnect um i

do recommend disconnecting after your your you've finished your spell or ritual so to disconnect you would just imagine the the roots coming from the center of the earth's core all the way back up to your feet i like to spend some time thanking the earth for letting me draw upon this energy this energy is abundant you are not going to use it all up so don't worry about that but i always like to spend some time in gratitude saying thank you earth for allowing me to draw upon your energy today thank you for your stabilizing

presence you know something along those lines and then just knowing that you have that connection there anytime you need it it's not going away you can reground yourself at any point but that disconnection helps you gain closure after the spell and ritual is done so again in the beginning just to recap so far before performing spells and rituals i highly recommend centering your energy to collect it all together and then grounding your energy to the earth that way you're using the earth's energy and spells and rituals rather than your own so you don't deplete yourself

and then when the spell and ritual is done what you'll want to do is disconnect from the earth and then release your center and just let the rest of your energy flood throughout the rest of your body and a lot of people will they like to ground before a spell a ritual and after just to kind of recalibrate and rebalance their own energies this is a total personal preference um so you can choose you know to ground whenever and however you see fit so next we are going to move on to directing energy finally we

get into directing your energy and in my opinion this is the funnest part of energy manipulation because this is where you really get to assign your intentions into different things you get to manipulate the situation and spells and rituals and really control your energy and move it where you want it to go so the manipulation of your own energy the directing of it uh this is something that takes place in phase two of raising energy and again if you are a beginner and you are um you've never cast a spell before or if you want

to check out my video on how to cast a spell i'm gonna link that down below but essentially phase one of casting a spell was descending into an altered state of consciousness and this is also typically where you would center and ground your energy to the earth now we get into phase two which is raising energy and this is going to take place with directing your energy so when you're directing your energy you've got the you've centered your energy you've grounded to the earth now you're going to imagine your energy and the earth's energy primarily

the earth's energy right because we don't want to deplete our own supply pushing the earth's energy from the center of your being out down your arms into your hands and collecting that energy into your fingertips so put your hands together like so if you want to follow along with this video and again if you have struggles visualizing what you can do is uh practice feeling a warm sensation or a tingling sensation between your fingertips but if you do have the ability to visualize and if you're comfortable with that you can imagine an orb and i

like to imagine as a golden orb you can imagine it however that looks like to you but imagine pushing all the energy from the center again down your arms and collecting it into your fingertips and so you are moving that energy into your hands and practice these energy orbs see if you can create that tingling sensation create that warm sensation and hold it there and practice holding it until you can't any longer and then you can release it back into your body but these energy orbs so what you're going to do so again from the

center of your being out your arms into your hands getting that sensation of the warm tingly statically staticky vibration however that feels like to you but you can create this orb and you can practice making it bigger you can practice making it smaller and more concise um play with it however you want to do whatever you want to do with that and then you're going to start assigning different intentions to that energy orb so let's say i want to assign peace love and tranquility i would imagine peace love and tranquility along with the earth energy

traveling into this energy orb and really creating really molding this energy orb of different intentions or it can be of passion of success of power of protection so imagining this energy orb to be really whatever intention you want to assign it to be and this is what you're going to put into your spell working so you can take your hands now that you've created this energy orb put it over your spell working and literally infuse your spell in ritual with whatever intention that is whether it's peace love tranquility power protection what have you and you

can also practice these energy orbs in your daily life so let's say i use this example in my low energy witchcraft video but let's say you have a child that is really unruly and they are uh maybe having a little bit of meltdown and they are a little moody and you're hoping to infuse them with some peaceful vibes some peace and tranquility to help calm that child down you can create this energy orb of peace and tranquility and then practice throwing it literally at the child in question and see if that changes the situation oftentimes

if there's someone that's a little angry or aggressive i will create an energy orb of calm and then i will throw it at them to manipulate the situation i hate using the word manipulate because there's always a bad connotation with that but you can you know play with these in your daily life with people with different situations um it really just you can practice literally throwing them at yourself if you want to assign different um intentions to an energy orb and really focus on embodying that energy within yourself you can throw it back to yourself

but this is obviously this whole video is geared around spells and rituals so this is where you would um raise the energy and raise the vibration however whatever technique you want to use for raising energy and then um taking your intention putting it into this energy orb and then putting that over your spell working in ritual to really infuse that spell and ritual with your intention and then of course when you're done you can let it dissipate or however that looks like to you and then you want to close the spell in ritual so after

you've centered after you've grounded to the earth's energy you've directed your energy and raised energy and add your intentions into the spell etc you're going to want to close it down so um going back to where everything is collected to the center of your being you are going to release your roots from the earth and have them travel all the way back up into your body thank the earth for its grounding presence and for it allowing you to use its energy today and then you're going to release that um that hold that you have in

the center of your being and let it flood evenly across the rest of your body and that's it that is centering and grounding and directing in the quickest way that i could ever possibly explain it please know that this is a subject it deserves so much more um time and effort it really explaining all these concepts in detail but i wanted to keep this really short that way you could have a quick reference guide like i mentioned in the introduction so i really hope that this was helpful eventually at some point i would love to

create a whole witchcraft 101 curriculum but if i do that it's going to be very thorough it's not going to be quick and that is going to take a lot of time to create so in the meantime i thought i would make this quick guide video so i hope you enjoy and let me know in the comments um if this is something that was helpful if you enjoy videos like this laying the foundations for witchcraft i do plan on making a quick guide to circle casting at some point hoping to get to that in the

near future but we'll see so anyways thank you for watching this video and i will see you soon bye
