✨ how to send good vibes! ✨

In the spiritual, metaphysical, and witchy communities, you’ll hear a lot of people say things like “sending love” or “sending good vibes”! fun fact, most people don’t know how to actually do that haha. with a little bit of practice and basic understanding of energy, it’s actually very easy to send simple healing energy to someone. before we jump in, it’s important to note the ethics of energy work. A L W A Y S ask for permission before doing any kind of energy work on someone.  even if you’re only sending positivity! there’s a difference between praying for someone/keeping them in your thoughts and actually sending them energy. you never know how your energy will affect them. maybe they’re not ready to heal. or maybe they’re doing their own healing and your energy might throw theirs out of balance. only do energy work on people who are open to it! 🌙  ✨✨

set an intention of positivity. this is vv important! make sure you make it clear that you only intend to send positivity. I like to say something along the lines of: “may this energy be filled with nothing but love and light” or “my intention is to send only that which is pure”.if you want to send bad vibes, just set the opposite intention (not that I recommend sending anything negative lmao)

get into a meditative state and positive mindset! you can’t effectively send someone good energy if you’re not in a good mental state, first. take some time to breath, meditate, listen to some relaxing music, eat, etc.

visualize that the person is in front of you. Imagine every detail of their appearance as if they’re physically in the room with you. it might take a while to create this image so take your time and breathe through it. don’t rush!

imagine a ball of bright light glowing and expanding from the center of your heart. this is referred to as your heart chakra! feel free to play around with different colors while visualizing. green symbolizes healing energy, pink is the energy of love, and white is cleansing energy. these are the main colors associated with the heart chakra.

next, hold your hand to your heart and imagine your hand absorbing that healing/loving/cleansing energy. at this point, you might physically feel a pulsing or warmness in your hands. make sure you’re still breathing and taking your time!

extend your hand towards the person you’re visualizing and imagine that the energy is flowing through your palms and into their heart center. the pulsing sensation may get stronger at this point! If you don’t feel a pulse, it’s fine. I promise it’s still working!

keep sending the energy until all of that light is drained from your palm!

to close out the session, visualize a waterfall of white energy washing over you and replenishing your energy.

congratulations, you just completed some basic energy work bby! there are so many ways to go about sending energy but this is my favorite way. It’s quick (should take 10-15 minutes) and perfect for beginners!

☄️Energy and Energy Manipulation Magick☄️

Disclaimer: This is my opinion on energy witchcraft, feel free to have a different one, but this is what I’ve come to understand. 

I feel as though a lot of people misunderstand energy magick, so I thought I’d do a write-up.  

There’s a couple of phrases that are important to remember here. 

“I am the power.”

or

“I am the battery.” 

(for the sake of the explanation.)

- Your spell is what you are the battery for, you are also the one flipping the  “on” switch. You are the tuning fork that vibrates your will out into the vast universe, attracting the same energy back, or sending it to a specific target. 

- The spell itself is like hitting the tuning fork, it starts the process in motion. Eventually you no longer even need a spell. A lot of the time I’ll simply think about something, or express something I want offhandedly to a friend, and have it happen in the next few days completely by surprise. I don’t even realize I’m sending off the intent. 

- This can be bad because you can exhaust yourself or burn yourself out to the point you can no longer feel your power. Not fun. Since I rely on my energy so often It’s a little bit like having your vision impaired. 

- So if you are able to store your energy in crystals or enchant them to help focus and add to your power, do it. Storing and manifesting energy takes a lot of practice. It’s not really something I can explain because all witches who use energy summon it a different way. Find out what works for you. 

The most important part of energy witchcraft is: will

I’ll say this until I’m blue in the face. 

- You need a lot of willpower to create and focus your own energy. I don’t really believe in putting magick into categories like easy or hard, but energy magick is hard. I started a decade ago when I was a wee tween, and made a lot of mistakes in the beginning. You do not have a deity or spell book that can help you with this (it’s absolutely possible to have them, but in its most basic form… this is all you baby). This is the main reason I love energy magick, because it can be very powerful, and I feel such freedom being in charge of my aura and power. The more will and control you have, the more your spells will hit rather than miss. 

- By practicing summoning your energy to your will, you’ll slowly increase the energy sink inside of you. This is what you use to build up your power and the strength of your spells. 

- Your energy sink can vary with your mood, the seasons, the moon/sun phases, the time of day, etc. I identify as a manifestation of the sun, so obviously my power is less at night, though the moon and the stars still help. For sun witches, I believe the best time for casting spells is sunrise/ early in the day before the sun gets too bright, or at sunset. Noontime spells are their own separate can of worms I’ll eventually do in another post. 

Negative parts of Energy Magick 

- Overload 

As an energy sink, I can become overloaded by too much energy around me. I can feel the vibrations of people, and if you add a ton of noise like a crowded store or lunchroom, it strains me, even if they aren’t really causing a disturbance. Think of it as spider web that floats around me, whenever anything touches it, It vibrates and can feel it, even if I don’t notice it on the surface, my subconscious will. 

-Exhaustion 

   Exhaustion is the worst thing you can do to yourself. Don’t dry up your own well, especially one you’ve worked so hard to craft. Exhausting yourself can lower your defenses and ability to throw off a bad spirit or spiritual attack. It can mess with your natural instinct of fear that says you are in danger, and impair your judgment. Your energy is your protection, and if you don’t have anything else protecting you…dangerous. 

- Things may try to find you

 You can attract bad spirits, because energy witches shine like beautiful stars in the dark spiritworld-wise. I would make sure you have some good defenses before trying this magic. 

 People will also be able to sense your light, some will like it, others may not like to see you shining quite so bright. 

- Inconsistency of targets

 You must have powerful focus and intent to use this magick correctly have I said that before? In the beginning it’s easy to get distracted, and your energy can mistake your intent. This can lead to some funny scenarios like manifesting the wrong item or too much of something (don’t ask me about the 1,000 makeup sample jars in my closet, and yes, that’s an accurate number). Or, in the worst case scenario, cursing the wrong target. 

Spells 

My advice is to start small, maybe a small money or luck spell. Start small and build up. For me, a candle or two is a necessity. I usually rub a little lavender oil on any stones or crystals I am using for the spell. Very calming and puts you in a comfortable place.

During a spell, I usually focus my mind on a simple phrase. 

Example: 

“Bring it to me” - a command I think or say while channel my energy, usually with a hand motion or specific action. (ringing a bell, blowing smoke from burning incense, etc.) 

 “It will come” - the conclusion of the spell, usually echoed back to me from the universe. As a personal preference I always clearly end each spell, usually with a ending phrase and by blowing out the candles. 

Do not cast spells if you are extremely stressed or angry. If you’re cursing, make sure your anger is focused and controlled towards your goal. This will make the target clear to your energy. The last thing you want is to hit someone by mistake. 

Ways to recharge  your energy sink

Alone time - Chill out and unplug from everyone 

Take a nap - Sleeping is probably one of the best things you can do, you are technically exercising your mind here, nothing rejuvenates it like sleep. 

Take a break from energy magick in general - You  have so many different magicks at your fingertips. Magick is supposed to be fun I swear! It shouldn’t be a chore. 

Blessed silence or calming music/asmr videos 

Eat some f*cking food omg 

Drink some water - Seems kinda cliché but dehydration will worsen any exhaustion you feel. 

Conclusion 

Energy magic can be a powerful part of your repertoire, and it can also compliment and strengthen your other magicks as well! Technically, all forms of magick can be boiled down to moving or producing energy, sometimes both at the same time. The more you practice this, the more your other magicks will improve!

✨☀️ Good luck, and stay safe my friends!  ☀️✨
