Everything is energy and energy is everything.
Even though you look at me and see one whole person, the truth is that I’m actually just a series of particles of matter vibrating at speeds that are unrecognizable to the human eye. We can’t see this stuff moving without a powerful microscope so it’s easy for us to forget this fact! It’s not just you and me that’s made up of energy. Everything around you is also made up of energy. The birds, the trees, and even the device that you’re reading this from are all made of energy. I don’t mean to start this off with a science lesson but it’s important for us to dive deep to grasp this key concept!
As humans, we are built with the capacity to actually control this energy in useful ways! This is where the magick comes in. There is a reason why I spell MavMagick with a K at the end. This spelling has been used since the early 20th century in writings and by metaphysical practitioners to distinguish their practices from stage magic like you would see a magician do. Those are just illusions and performances. Magick used with a K is meant to describe a person’s ability to manipulate energy in the 3d world. This enables a person to not only heal themselves and change their energy, but to affect and change the energy of others, and their environment.
Every human is born with the capacity for energy magick. We have the innate ability to heal our physical, mental, and spiritual bodies. Unfortunately, we suppress our true nature and forget our ability to heal and transform ourselves. We also don’t recognize the impact that traumatic experiences have on our ability to self-heal. Experiencing trauma can have lasting implications. It’s important to acknowledge that trauma is less about the kind of event that a person experiences and it is more about the way that our body physiologically processes emotional distress. If emotional trauma is not processed properly it remains stored in the body and can lead to energetic blockages. These energetic blockages are the real causes of disease in the body, mind, and spirit.
But, all hope is not lost.
As we begin the process of becoming more authentic and connecting with our divine authenticity we are able to reveal the hidden and unknown aspects of ourselves that are in need of healing. We have to learn how to extend deep and true compassion to those parts of ourselves. We must fully accept the fact that we went through that suffering and when we have this understanding, we can begin the process of healing. We take those hidden aspects and expose them to the light so that we could allow for the healing process to begin.
The impact of trauma
When a person experiences challenges in childhood a part of the person remains frozen in time especially if the emotions aren’t properly dealt with. We all have inner children that are wounded and in need of our love and care. However, so many of us don’t have a relationship with this younger aspect of ourselves. Full healing requires us to develop a relationship with our inner children. They need us to slow down and acknowledge the parts of us we have neglected. Instead of continuing to ignore our hidden aspects, we need to take steps towards integration.
One of the most important parts of healing is finding wholeness. Instead of being these disconnected, fragmented beings, we go through these processes of healing to integrate ourselves into one being that is able to transcend the typical outcome of trauma. Right now most of us believe that if someone has a mental illness, like depression, anxiety, physical illnesses, or other chronic health conditions, there’s nothing that a person can do to heal themselves; their only option is to cope with those terrible things. As we get to know ourselves more and begin the process of healing we realize that we no longer have to remain in that space. We discover that we can actually experience true and radical healing.
I know all of this is true from my own experience. I was dealing with intense and severe depression and anxiety, as well as some symptoms of complex PTSD. I could not sleep through the night and I would wake up with panic attacks. I could not focus. I had severe ADHD. I needed to be on all kinds of medication to help myself be mentally stable. Yet, none of it was truly working.
I also was dealing with some intense physical health illnesses. My asthma had gotten to its worst point. I had to go to the hospital a few times for breathing issues. There were some really scary events that occurred when I was feeling really sick. This is what I call my healing crisis that launched me into my spiritual journey. I went through this process of self-discovery and got to truly know my suffering.
One of the more challenging aspects of healing but one of the most fundamental was to meet my suffering with radical acceptance. This meant being able to see reality as it truly was, without asking for it to change or to be anything else was exactly what I needed to truly embrace myself. I was finally able to give myself what I needed. This is how we experience lasting healing and true complete transformation. Through the process of radical acceptance and healing yourself you are able to embrace your truth completely. Instead of being overwhelmed and overcome with pain and stress from the past, we gain wisdom and strength from our past experiences. This is the ability for us to completely transmute our trauma and use it as energy for creation and manifestation to create the lives that we desire
My transformation
As I approached the suffering that I was experiencing instead of running away from it, I began to notice my entire life started to transform. My emotional health began to slowly improve. And after a while, I noticed a radical improvement in my mental health. I got to the point where was able to work with my mental health providers to take me off of medication! This was something I never dreamed would have been possible, especially with the severity of my symptoms but I am living proof that it is possible!
My physical health made a radical transformation. I went from feeling tired after walking from my bedroom to the bathroom, to being able to chase my dog around the house, go on hikes, have a daily yoga practice, and have a good time with my family again. That is a gift that is irreplaceable and I’m so grateful that I was able to undergo this healing journey. The lasting effects of our own ability to engage with your own energy magick can radically transform the quality of your life and your experiences.
The point I am really trying to make here is that we are made of energy and because we have the ability as creators to shift energy, we have the capacity to heal ourselves. We can learn how to direct universal energy to specific parts of our bodies to receive healing. We can also work to unblock our energy centers or chakras to find inner balance. Through clearing this energy we can also find emotional stability and wholeness.
Where your awareness goes, your energy flows.
I know that a lot of this stuff might sound too mystical for some, but these are simple practices that anybody can learn! You don’t need any tools except your attention, awareness, and intention! When we are doing these practices it’s important to put your whole self into the exercises to get the best results. The thing is all of this is about getting results! I want you to learn these things so your life can improve! Another important tip is to just relax and have some fun! Try to pretend like you were a little kid. When they said they were building a rocketship with those cardboard boxes, and truly believed they were going to fly to the moon! We have to invite that same level of imagination and belief into energy work.
The most important tip for learning how to work with your energy is that where your awareness goes your energy flows. This means that energy is impacted by conscious awareness. So when we focus on an area of our bodies, we are actually sending energy to that body part.
So now I’m going to share a technique with you that you can use to begin sensing your energy.
Step one, Grounding: Any time you do energy work it is wise to start with grounding your energy. This is super simple! All you have to do is imagine a chord or roots coming from the base of your spine, or your root Chakra, and flowing down into the earth. Then you want to imagine that chord or roots connecting to the center of the earth. Now you have grounded your energy and you can imagine running energy from the center of the earth into your body.
Step 2. Practice sensing energy in your hands. Rub your hands together for about 5 seconds. Then close your eyes and just feel the energy that you have just cultivated in your hands. Next, take one hand and either hold it in the air or set it on your lap. Then, take your other hand and hold it out flat. Imagine a beam of energy flowing from that chord and extending past your fingertips. Then pass that energy beam through the other hand going from fingertip to wrist. It might take you a couple of tries to get the hang of this but even practicing this for one minute a day will start to help increase your ability to sense energy
Step 3. When you are able to sense the energy moving in your hands you can start to flow that energy around your body. Do a body scan practice where you just focus your energy starting at your toes and moving through your whole system. After some time you will be able to sense the energy in every part of your body!
Step 4 Using the energy to heal: We can use this directed energy to regulate and balance our own energy system. Making sure that you are grounded and running energy, you can practice sensing areas of your body that are sore and just imagine the healing energy coming from your hands and onto that body part. You can also do this when you are dealing with an emotional pain that you might feel in your gut, chest, or throat for example, and send energy to that area
All of these tools are powerful but you need to take the time to practice these things regularly to notice a real difference. After a while, you will notice you can really increase the awareness of the power that you’ve always had inside of you.
