💫 What Energy Is (And Isn’t)

How I Explain Energy to Someone Who’s Never Felt It Before

When people ask me, “What do you mean by energy?” I tell them this:

Energy isn’t some far-off mystical concept. It’s not just a buzzword witches throw around. It’s the real, invisible thread that runs through every living thing—our bodies, thoughts, emotions, and even the spaces we walk through.
 

🧿 What “Energy” Really Means in Witchcraft (It’s Not Just a Buzzword)

In witchcraft, energy is how we shape intention into action. We don’t just hope something will happen—we build energy around it and guide it with purpose. It’s not about wishing. It’s about moving something deeper with focus and heart.
 

🌬️ You’ve Felt Energy Before—You Just Didn’t Know It Had a Name

That strange feeling when someone walks into a room and changes the mood? That’s energy.

That peaceful hush under a full moon? Energy.

That shiver in your chest when a song touches your soul? Yep—energy again.

We’re not imagining it. We’re just finally learning to name it.
 

🙈 No, It’s Not All in Your Head: What I Say to Beginners Who Doubt It’s Real

When I first started, I doubted myself constantly. I thought I was just being overly sensitive or making things up.

But the more I worked with it—the more I trusted what I felt—the more real it became. Energy isn’t always loud. Sometimes it’s just a whisper. But it’s there. And if you give it time, it starts to speak clearly.
 

✋ Learning to Feel It

Try This: The First Exercise I Ever Did to Feel Energy in My Hands

I rubbed my hands together, pulled them apart slowly—and suddenly I felt it. A soft buzz. A magnetic tingle. Something like air pushing back.

That was the beginning. The moment I knew there was more than flesh and bone in me. There was power.
 

💓 How I Knew I Was Feeling Energy for the First Time

It felt like tingles… warmth… invisible air pressure. Almost like two soft magnets pushing gently apart. It made me pause. It made me believe. That’s how it began for me.
 

🌈 What It Feels Like to Me (And Others)

Some feel:

    Tingling in their fingers

    Warmth in their palms

    A pulsing or buzzing

    Emotional release or goosebumps

Everyone feels it differently. And your way is valid.
 

🌬️ The Trick That Opened the Door: Pretending Air Has Weight

I imagined the air between my hands was thick—like honey or warm water. I let myself feel it, even before I was sure it was real. That was the key that unlocked my sensing.
 

🐢 Why Slowing Down Is the Secret

Energy doesn’t shout. It whispers. And the only way to hear it is to slow down, breathe, and listen.

When I learned to stop rushing, the world around me started speaking in energy.
 

🔁 Everyday Ways to Notice It

You don’t need a spell to feel energy.

    That hug that gives you warmth

    That storm that charges the air

    That room that just feels “off”

You already know energy. You’ve lived with it your whole life.
 

🌫️ How I Read a Room

I walk into a space and I know. The tension. The joy. The grief. It lingers in the walls, in the objects, in the air. And I listen to it.

Sometimes, I clear it. Sometimes, I just walk away. But I always honour it.
 

⚖️ How I Feel Other People’s Energy

Heavy people feel like walking fog. Light ones feel like a breeze. I’ve learned to ask: “Is this mine?” And if it’s not—I let it go.

I ground. I shield. I breathe. I return to myself.
 

🌿 Nature as My Teacher

The Earth taught me everything.

    Trees shared calm.

    Wind carried wisdom.

    Bare feet reconnected my soul to the ground.

🔋 Raising and Moving Energy

I raise energy with breath, emotion, and rhythm. Sometimes I dance. Sometimes I cry. Sometimes I chant softly under my breath until I feel the power humming through my spine.

It’s not flashy. It’s real.
 

🔮 Sending Energy into a Spell

I focus. I breathe. I picture the energy pouring from me into the candle, the herb, the sigil—whatever I’m working with.

It feels like pouring from one cup to another. Gentle. Sacred.
🥁 The Joy of Raising Energy

Drumming. Clapping. Spinning. These are how I build energy quickly and joyfully. My body becomes the cauldron. My heart the flame.
 

💥 What Energy Feels Like Inside Me

When it moves—it moves.

It’s a current. A wave. A vibration through my bones. Sometimes it feels hot, sometimes cool. But it always reminds me: I am more than this body. I am soul.
🐚 Energy in My Hands, Voice, Home, and Spells

I’ve felt it:

    In my palms, tingling as I heal

    In my voice, vibrating with truth during spellwork

    In my home, after cleansing or blessing, where it lingers like incense

    In the silence, when intention hums like a hidden drum

Energy is with me always now—not just when I call it, but even when I’m still.
 

🛡️ How I Shield, Cleanse, and Transmute Energy

When pain or fear come, I don’t shut down—I transmute.

I call in light. I turn fire to wisdom. I raise a shield of salt and prayer. I wash myself in moonlight. I burn herbs and whisper blessings.

I’ve turned grief into strength this way. Many times.
 

🌘 Energy and the Moon, the Planets, the Earth

I align my work with cycles:

    I feel different during the waxing moon than the waning.

    I cast certain spells when Mars is strong, or Venus is in flow.

    I place my hands on soil and feel it speak.

These rhythms aren’t outside of me—they are me. I just remembered how to listen.
 

🧬 What I’ve Learned Over the Years

    In crowds, I used to get overwhelmed. Now I shield.

    In sacred space, I can leave energy that lasts—days later, you’ll still feel the calm.

    In conflict, I breathe into my power and let it steady me.

    With others, I sense what’s theirs and what’s mine—and I act with care.

🕯️ What Energy Work Has Taught Me

    Power doesn’t mean force—it means alignment.

    Boundaries are sacred. Not walls, but choices.

    Ethics matter. You don’t just can—you ask if you should.

    Intuition is not a gift—it’s a muscle. Use it. It grows.

💭 Gentle Words for Beginners

If you’re still trying to feel it—don’t worry.

This isn’t a race. It’s a return.

You’re remembering what your soul already knows. Trust the process. Trust yourself.
