Just noticed...

I recently noticed that many energy manipulation methods,such as shielding,auras,and what not.
Is that all of them require visualization,but here is the rubbish part,how can a person create a shield around him,by just sitting in a lotus position and just imagining things in his head.
Doesnt that sound crazy?
Isnt there suppose to be a feeling,a technique,or something to make it sound realistic.
Now im not a disbeliver,but there are some parts of magic that sounds ridiculous.

Well visualization is only one part of it. You must believe in magick, believe the energy exists. You must feel that actual energy, focus on it, imagine it to form into that shield or whatever. Its so much more than imagination, but imagination is a decent part of it.

Sorage is right. Visualization is only part of it. It is an important part, but they key to most magic is using your energy and the energy around you (by drawing it into you) :)

But in drawing the energy you need a feeling to it.
How is that done?

The act of visualizing gives the shield energy. I usually visualize the source of that energy whether it be myself, the ground or the sky, and see it give energy to the shield.

Hi, I practise Reiki and use energy chanelled from the Universe. Believe me, you can feel the energy and once you do, shielding etc will fall into place. I'm not saying you have to practise Reiki to feel energy but it's the method I use for healing and the same energy I use for casting spells.

Does ground and centering help?

Grounding circulates and renews energy.
Centering balances internal energy.

Yes, these two practices can help with energy manipulation greatly. When you're facing burnt out, unbalanced energy, controling the flow at that allowing a flow can be a bit more difficult to say the least.

I did telekinesis the other day and after my practice i woke up tomorrow and felt like i was experiancing an out of body feeling.
