Energy Work entails harnessing and directing both physical and spiritual energy to achieve desired outcomes. This practice, historically acknowledged in various cultures, often overlaps with depictions of inspirational magic in stories and films, such as a heroine discovering her latent abilities in a moment of crisis. Conceptually, it involves two key aspects: energy manifestation, the act of tapping into an unseen force, and energy manipulation, using this force for tangible results. Energy Work is frequently depicted in popular culture, often blending with the idea of inspirational magic. One notable example is George Lucas's Star Wars series, where characters like the Jedi tap into the 'Force' to achieve extraordinary feats. This portrayal illustrates energy manifestation and manipulation, concepts deeply rooted in human experience and spiritual traditions globally. These representations in media reflect the universal acknowledgment of an invisible force that can be harnessed and channeled for transformative purposes, making Energy Work a familiar and captivating theme. Energy Work has been acknowledged and utilized in various forms throughout history. This historical utilization highlights universal human recognition of an invisible force, reflected in many spiritual traditions including Western Abrahamic faiths and Japanese Shinto. Terms like “Holy Spirit” or the act of a priest placing their hands on a person as a blessing are just two examples of modern uses of Energy Work. These global practices emphasize the existence of a universal energetic force within and around all living things, which can be harnessed for a multitude of purposes. The universal nature of energy is evident through its acknowledged presence in diverse spiritual traditions and cultural practices worldwide. From the Prana in Hinduism to the Qi in Chinese Taoism, and even the spiritual energies recognized in indigenous cultures, there is a common recognition of a vital force that permeates all living things. This idea underscores a shared human understanding of an unseen energy that can be harnessed and directed for tangible or intangible purposes. This means that there is a lot that can be learned from Energy Work and by using other tools of your craft, including intuition and your connection to Deity, you’ll be able to divine a great deal of information from simply learning to feel, manifest, and manipulate the energies inside and around you. Beginning with Energy Work involves first acknowledging the presence of energy within yourself. This process requires mentally reaching out to recognize the sensation of energy, which can feel like an ebb and flow, similar to the subtle tingle of static electricity on your skin during a storm. Initial attempts might make you think you don't feel anything, but with practice and focus, this awareness becomes clearer. A very basic initial practice is to attempt to visualize your energy moving toward a center part of your body, like your chest or belly button, often when successful, you will feel physically warm, or get a physical tingling sensation in the area you’re moving your energy to, and so by honing this recognition, you can start to harness and  direct this energy for personal or spiritual purposes, setting the foundation for effective Energy Work. However the very first and most important aspect of actually acknowledging and manifesting Energy is the ability to ground yourself, this is the foundation for almost everything else that we do in Eclectic Paganism. You might be interested to know that this technique is not just used for spiritual use, but is considered globally as a therapeutic technique, that is taught for mental wellness and is said to have an impact on mental illness as well Once you have successfully learned to acknowledge the energy within yourself and can feel it moving to your core, along with practicing grounding and becoming confident in your ability to ground your personal energy, you are ready for Manifestation and Manipulation. Manifestation and Manipulation often involve meditation, but this isn't always necessary. It depends on your practice, skill level, and how easily you can sense your own energy. Some people find this more intuitive than others, but everyone has the potential to sense, ground, manifest, and manipulate energy. Manifestations can take many forms and perceptions, such as physical sensations like tingling or warmth in your chest. You can project that sensation to your hands or another person's skin. However, you're in control of the energy, so you don't have to stop at the initial sensation. You can manipulate the energy you project to cause pleasure or pain. This is a very simplistic example of energy manipulation. A word of Caution: Energy Manipulation and Manifestation, depending on your skill level, can have physical effects on you, and others. You can become ill or harm yourself when manifesting, so you must take the basics seriously, and ensure that you’re able to ground yourself effectively, before manifesting and manipulating, to be able to control and stop at any moment. The presence of energy within all living beings is an indisputable reality of the human experience. Energy Work involves actively acknowledging, manifesting, and manipulating your own energy or that which surrounds you to achieve tangible or intangible outcomes. These techniques wield considerable power, acknowledged by scientists, philosophers, spiritual leaders, and even military institutions.
