In order for energy to respond, there must be a command on your part.
Belief in oneself comes from knowing oneself.
You cannot rely on the diversity of other people’s opinion about you.
Look at your own opinion about you.
Then, get to know yourself better
How can energies reflect anything other than our own vibration?
And isn’t it unacceptable for the Master in you to create ‘by default’?
Of course it is unacceptable!
Deep down, you know this is natural for you to create consciously.
This is at the core of the question: Self Trust
How can we expect energies to respond to a half-hearted, victimism-tainted miniwish? Not even our pets respond to that!
Energy, health, resources, love, you name it: you call it, you give it to yourself.
Practice with your personal energy first. As above so below, as within so without. You don’t need to act on the outer energy, but on your own consciousness. As you focus on Being the All, you will find that the All is You. And that is an entirely new game.
“The joy of life consists in the exercise of one’s energies, continual growth, constant change, the enjoyment of every new experience. To stop means simply to die. The eternal mistake of mankind is to set up an attainable ideal.”
Walk into any crystal shop and you will most likely see pyramid shapes on the top of crystal clusters, orgone pyramids or even crystals fashioned into the shape of a pyramid.
This is not just because pyramids are a pretty shape, there is a deep symbolism here that goes back centuries, all the way back to the time of the Ancient Egyptians and beyond.
It has long been believed that the pyramids were used as burial tombs for the Kings and Queens of Egypt, however many researchers claim that this is just not true.
An alternative belief about the pyramids is that they were used as powerful healing chambers and not as burial sites at all. Perhaps the Egyptians had access to some advanced knowledge that we just don’t yet know about…
Pyramids are believed to be extremely sacred in many cultures around the world. Many churches are built with pyramid-like steeples and ancient pyramid structures can be found not just in Egypt, but in South America and parts of Asia.
The Native Americans also sat in tipis to conduct rituals and ceremonies, which have a pyramid like shape to them. It was believed that this shape helped to connect them with the earth and the heavens above.
In fact, what makes a pyramid so powerful is its ability to channel or collect energy from the higher realms of the stars, the planets and the Universe and deliver it down to earth.
The bottom of the pyramid represents a solid, earthy foundation, whereas the pointed top represents being able to reach into higher realms of consciousness.
Because of its shape, any energy that enters the pyramid has the ability to be cleansed and purified. Almost like the pyramid acts like a filter of sorts. This is because pyramids are said to generate negative ions which can balance the body’s electromagnetic field and deliver healing.
By sitting inside a pyramid, it is believed that your energy centers can be balanced and it becomes easier to receive messages from your intuition and higher beings. Your aura can also be recharged and can appear much brighter.
Placing food, herbs and other supplements inside a pyramid has also been shown to increase their effectiveness and can actually help to preserve their structure.
Crystals can also be more effectively charged in a pyramid structure and meditating inside a pyramid is also said to enhance the benefits and reduce stress.
Pyramids also have the ability to absorb harmful EMF’s and other energetic frequencies that are damaging to your health.
We live in an energetic Universe, and geometrical shapes have the ability to change and influence the direction of energy.
Different shapes hold different energies, and these energies can influence us in subtle and also profound ways.
It is a still a mystery as to how the ancient Pyramids of Egypt were built, but it definitely seems like they had some type of healing power that we have perhaps forgotten.
Some interesting facts about the ancient pyramids of Egypt.
-During the fall of consciousness in humanity, the pyramids were placed to activate certain grid points on Earth to open the field of consciousness fro ascension.
-The pyramids once aligned with true North before the poles changed.
-The measurements of the pyramids equal to Phi, the golden mean.
-If you divide the perimeter by the height, you receive the approximation of Pi.
-The pyramids align with the Orion’s Belt constellation.
-Speed of light through vacuum is 299,792,458 m/s.
-A geographic coordinate of 29.9792458, 31.134658 will end up on the Great Pyramid Of Giza
-In the Great Pyramid alone, it consists of about 2.5 million stone blocks.
-Based on the shafts in the Great Pyramid, when plotted on a map and coordinated, they can be found to replicate a pyramid mountain located in the Himalayas precisely.
-The Great Pyramid used to have swivel doors at the entrance.
-There are 4 shafts within the Great pyramid and 3 chambers. In the Queen’s chamber, the walls are covered with salt. This creates a theory that the shafts and chambers would combine to create a particle laser. Also in one of the shafts which had 2 copper pieces attached to the shaft door, there was corrosion on the copper, which means electricity was being generated and used there.
-If you had a hydrochloric acid solution coming down in one shaft, and hydrated zinc coming down the other shaft, when they combine in the Queen’s chamber they created hydrogen, the most powerful substance in the known universe.
-The North shaft had the hydrated zinc while the Southern shaft had the hydrochloric acid which meet at the Queen’s chamber to trigger combustion.
-The hydrogen then builds up in the King’s chamber.
-The energy of the Earth vibrates the whole pyramid which are picked up in the Grand Gallery which could be a resonator hall. There are 27 slots that go up the gallery.
-With this energy building up, it shoots a microwave out of one of the shafts.
-Water would be pumped into a chamber under the Great Pyramid from the Nile River. This created hydrolic pressure which vibrated the pyramid. There is evidence all over the chamber that shows presence of water.
-This means the pyramids function could have also been a power plant. It also tuned the frequencies of the Earth and could have possibly supplied energy to other places on Earth to obelisks and other sacred cites.
The very shape of the pyramid is an amplified-receiver or resonator of various kinds of energy fields, i.e. electro-magnetic waves, cosmic rays, gravitational waves, etc., surrounding our planet. Inside the pyramid the received energies interact with one another. A pyramid also creates a spherical field like a 3D globe of harmonic vibrations – where the wave patterns are synchronous and rhythmic – around itself. Everything within that field will move towards the harmony.
Pyramid energy is a life-giving force called bio-cosmic energy, which allows for the pyramid to become a kind of cosmic antenna that tunes into vast energy sources, receives the energy and changes itself into a magnetic field.
The energy within a pyramid makes it a transmitter of universal light energy (also known as Source Energy, Ether and Zero Point Energy). As the inside of the pyramid transmits the inflowing energy it causes a higher dimensional field – a field that is the animating force behind all creation – and has the capacity to automatically transform lower vibrational (negative) energy into higher vibrational (positive) energy. By the layering of organic and inorganic matter in the building blocks of the structure, the Life Force Energy are purified, condensed and then magnified, enabling it to transmit this energy to the outside where a spherical field of harmonic vibrations around the pyramidal structure is created. This form of energy, orgone energy, is known by various cultures as Chi, Ki, Prana, Ether, or Life Force. Negative energy will be cleared from your field creating a higher, more balanced and healthy state. Using your intent you can also direct this Source Energy towards personal healing, protection and spiritual awakening.
It has been reported that after spending time within a pyramid, people feel revitalized with sense-perceptions sharpened. Through Kirlian photography, changes have been noted in the meditator’s aura, described as his/her electromagnetic field, such as the aura becoming brighter and larger.
These are a couple theories on how magick works from different practitioners understandings. By understanding these theories you will be able to get a better grasp on magick as a whole through the understandings that people have found magick to react, and/or be initiated by. None of these theories are wrong, or right, and may just be parts of the same understanding, so getting to know them in their ins, and outs will not only allow you to help understand the paradigms that use them, it may also help you better your own practice by allowing you to look at things you might have missed. These are in no shape, or form all of the theories, but they are at least the more popular ones.
Theories on how magick works:
Energetic Theory:
Energetic theory has the understanding that magick works by raising specific universal spiritual energy through the act of using tools, the practitioner’s inner power, or even the energies from other entities, and that the practitioner will be able to gather it, and use their intention in order to give it instructions on what it should do, or manifest. Just by taking this energy, and intending, and directing it towards our goal will allow that gold to manifest. This theory is also very connected to the understanding of a spiritual energy that permeates throughout all of existence in every single construct, and entity, and that this energy can be manipulated, or worked with through intention. In this theory any entity that has intention can harness, and control energy to do magick.
Consciousness Theory:
Consciousness theory has the understanding that magick works by focusing the will of our consciousness upon what we desire, then reality will move in that direction, and will allow it to manifest, because of our connection to consciousness as a whole. All consciousness is seen as connected, and by setting forth are will in that consciousness we will be able to manifest our realities. Whatever thoughts that the practitioner holds in their mind will affect not only the practitioner, but the world around the practitioner. By focusing and mastering the mind one can tap into their consciousness, and subconsciousness to imprint focus upon certain desires, so that they will manifest in the world around them. This understanding is also very connected to the understanding of the universal mind, collective consciousness, and the idea that everything is consciousness. In this theory any entity that has consciousness can focus it to do magick.
Entity Theory:
Entity theory has the understanding that magick works by gaining favor with, or appeasing certain entity, or entities in existence, one will be able to manifest their will, if the entity, or entities, so choose to help the practitioner. These can be any form of entity, or entities that can be communicated with such as deities, angels, demons, spirits, ancestors, animistic spirits, source, and/or the universe. Once these entities are appeased, or that the practitioner have favor with them they are said to go through the act of acting out their will. In this understanding there may be a hierarchy of entities where the top would send entities from the bottom to actually manifest the desires. In this theory any entity that can communicate with higher powers, or other entities will have the potential to do magick.
Psychological Theory:
Psychological theory has the understanding that magick works through the act of deceiving, or redirecting how the practitioner thinks, or believes about something in order to push the practitioner towards there desire. This is based on the premise in which once reality is changed completely based off what they think, and/or believe. By thinking, or believing certain things their reality changes allowing their will to be achieved through a different train of thought. One would use spells and rituals in order to create new mental thought patterns which would allow the practitioner to bring forth, or push themselves towards their desire. One may use magickal items to remind them of what their will is, and to imprinted in their conscious, and subconscious mind. Some may even see this as a form of self hypnosis, or as a way to trigger the placebo effect in themselves. Tools are seen as a way of focusing their will upon their intention, and will be things that will draw the practitioner to thinking, or acting in a way in order to align themselves with their goal. In this theory any entity that has a mind, and can change how that mind thinks, or believes can do magick.
Biological Theory:
Through the act of controlling our emotions, thoughts, and physical factors one will initiate chemical reactions that will allow the practitioner to trigger the release of specific physical energies which will then be able to go forth, and manifest one’s goal. This would be like wanting to be able to go to sleep easier, so the practitioner would focus on sleep allowing the melatonin in their body to be triggered, and activated allowing the practitioner to go to sleep easier. This understanding sees magick is all biological, and created by controlling biological forces in the body from different chemicals to the bioelectromagnetic field around the practitioner. In this theory any biological entity has the potential to do magick.
Quantum Explanation Theory:
Quantum explanation theory has the understanding that magick works by using the will to interact with the mechanics of the universe in order to manifest the desire of the practitioner. The mind of the practitioner is used in order to interact with, and change the behavior of subatomic particles, and energy fields within space/time. Through interacting with the fundamental quantum mechanics one will make changes on the very basic level of being which will in turn react with the greater whole of existence in order to manifest one’s desires, and will. In this theory any practitioner who can access, and interact with quantum mechanics of the universe through their will has the potential to perform magick.
Faith Theory:
Faith theory has the understanding that magick works by having faith, and by believing that something will manifest, if the practitioner thinks about it positively. This theory is based around the premise that all the practitioner needs to do is believe in order to manifest anything. In this theory any entity that can have faith in what they are doing will be able to manifest their magick.
Eclectic, and Syncretic Theory:
Eclectic, and syncretic theory has the understanding that magick works through a combination of multiple, or all other theories, whether it is through bringing them all together to form an amalgamation of the theories, or if it is done through paradigm shiftings. This theory encompasses all, or some theories of how magick works, and uses them together or separately to explain its mechanics.
Confession time. Apart from the odd twenty-minute practise here and there, Miss ‘I love yoga, you should try yoga, omg yoga yoGA YOGAA’, didn’t practise yoga for the best part of last year (spiritual plateau, if you were curious). I watched new yogis pop up on Instagram, re-read the benefits, knew how necessary on a personal level it would be to get my energy/prana/chi flowing and noted how much better I felt after one of those twenty-minute flows. But the cba hurdle (means ‘can’t be arsed’ if that’s unfamiliar) I had to get over to start each practise always had me torn between two mindsets – if you want it, make it happen (à la Liz Gilbert walking around her house saying random words to get that creative energy flowing) and waiting to feel like doing it… and I usually favoured the latter. However, sometimes, when I felt I had no time, when I’d been on my feet all day and only wanted to binge Netflix, when I was mentally drained, when I felt way too vulnerable to unfurl myself or when all I felt like doing was lying on the floor and staring at the ceiling – well, there’s a pose for that, that’s when a down-dog could’ve really come in handy. Yoga, with its’ push for self-awareness and acceptance, is so much more than just a physical practise after all. Of course, sometimes it’s best to trust your instincts and not force yourself to do something you don’t feel like doing, it’s just, in times like I described, monkey mind was often drowning out whatever my instincts may have been saying.
If you too are figuring out the balance between flow and force, the following basic poses and gentle stretches will get you tapped back in to help you determine how much to push yourself.
And look, you don’t even have to leave your bed to do it!
1. Sit in a comfortable position, where you won’t be disturbed and relax your shoulders (rolling them up back and down will help this or even just lifting your shoulders towards your ears and just dropping them). Inhale for 4 counts, hold your breath for 7, then exhale for 8. Repeat this 4-7-8 pattern three or four times. This count will really help slow down your breathing and focus your mind to the present. As this won’t take much more than a minute, it’s great to do whenever you feel you need grounding. If you’ve more time or you feel you want to continue, some gentle seated twists would be great to massage your lower organs and stretch your abdominal muscles, often where stress is held. Place your left hand on your right knee, and your right hand behind you. Sit up taller on an inhale, then twist gently to your right on an exhale. Do this a couple more times before repeating on the other side.
2. Heart openers help with tightness in the chest and opening your heart chakra, helping release emotions. Start on your belly and extend your left arm to the side. Slowly roll over it so that you feel a stretch in your chest and use your right arm for stability in front of you (or if it’s comfortable, rest your hand on your lower back). Stay here for about five breaths before rolling back onto your belly and repeating on the other side. If you want to kick things up a notch, some other chest openers you could try, include cat-cow, camel pose, fish pose, sphinx pose or bow pose.
3. Legs up the wall is such a simple pose, yet the benefits feel so pronounced! Just move your hips as close to the wall as possible and walk your legs up. Let your arms rest gently to the side. In this position, gravity will help with circulation in your upper body and brain, you will feel a stretch in the back of your legs and your lower back gets some yummy relief. Fantastic if you’ve been on your feet all day and great coming off a flight if your legs or feet have swollen.
4. The physical nature of child’s pose is looking in, it is a physical representation of reflection. Aside from opening your hips, stretching your back and being fab for your digestion, this restorative pose offers relief, comfort and grounding, relaxing your entire body and slowing your mind as you curl into yourself. Start on your hands and knees, bring your big toes together and open your knees as wide as feels comfortable. Move your hips towards your heels and extend your arms out in front of you, letting your head rest on the floor (or bed) or a block. Stay here for at least five deep breaths.
I just wanted to say, that of course, yoga is not the be all and end all, it doesn’t solve everything and the way in which something works for one person won’t be the same for someone else. Finding what feels good (a phrase coined by Yoga with Adriene) for you, is always key.
Namaste!

-Talismans are objects charged with different kinds of magick or energy
-They’re typically stones or rings, but they don’t have to be!!! Use anything that you feel comfortable using, but something that you can wear regularly is always super nice c:
-You can charge them with all sorts of energy and blessings!! (My friend has one charged with blessings for safe travels))
-Don’t worry if your choice of talisman or blessing is a bit alternative or not ‘typical’, it’s YOUR talisman!!!
