Soz for not replying sooner. I was busy most of the day.
Anyway, I'd love to learn Reiki from what you offer.
Now, some notes on your meditation:
-In my meditations that involve any kind of sealing in of energy, I advise that inhalation means pulling it inside, and exhalations mean sealing it inside.
-In the LHP, or other branches, we have an internal locus of divinity, so this essentially means pulling the power of the Divine FROM your Anahata chakra rather than INTO it.
-Fire is masculine, and water is feminine. See how this can be used to channel energy if needed.
-One good thing that I do in terms of keeping myself warm is sucking heat energy from my surrounding, and storing it within my body, ready to be released into my aura. This heat energy can of course be any kind of energy, so long as it is converted into heat energy. Such modifications can be made.
Thanks for your advice zelotar;) Can you explain how to suck heat energy from the surroundings and radiate it in your aura? I think I would like to try that technique. I like your idea of taking the energy inside with you inhale and sealing it with your exhale. There are also reiki symbols that can help seal the energies as well. the three main symbols are cho ku rei (power symbol), sei hei kei (harmony) and hon sha ze sho nen (distance connection). Cho ku Rei can be used to activate reiki healing energy and to seal it in. Sei hei kei can be used to bring harmony to a person or within ourselves. Hon sha ze sho nen can be used as a bridge to transfer energy distances, yet it can also be used to shed reiki healing to heal your past or to make your future more serene. I wish i could post the images of the symbols here, but i'm not sure how, but the internet has the images. Fire since it is masculine can be used to help a person become stronger and increase their confidence, while water can be used to allow a person to be more passive and less criticizing of who they are. A balance between the two is cool. I often use the element air to stay cool in the summer instead of water though.
Never heard of the symbols, but you can look for them online, right click the image, click ''open in new tab'' and once the image opens copy the link to the image and paste it here.
There is more to masculinity than just confidence, and action. Some people say masculine energy is dominant and feminine energy is submissive. IMO, it just denotes not just to the passive and active force, but to feminine as being RECEPTIVE rather than submissive.
Water is very real, grounded, life-giving, immortal, static, and fluid.
Fire is ephemeral, abstract, destructive, transient, dynamic, and rigid.
And yes, balance in all things is a must. That is why we have blood, after all, as blood is, like I've mentioned several times today, an alchemical marriage between fire and water.
As for the technique I mentioned, the short version of it is engaging a trance, and stopping the world(mentioned in the Carlos Castaneda books, though, a short explanation would be an open eyes void meditation), and getting into a state where you can perceive the lines of the world(short explanation, the finest units of consciousness), and see them vibrating.
And then through methods similar to the ones you outline above, as well as psychic vampirisim, you would pull the energy from the lines, pulling the vibrations, until they stop, which would take quite a lot of pulling. When you are done, you would seal it in yourself, and restart the world. You may have special chakra opened(yes new chakra can be opened) to store it or reservoirs made(via psionics or Omnimancy or a spirit upgrading you).
The opposite process of releasing the energy to accelerate the vibrations is what heating up is. Now what gets heated is a matter of power, and I'll leave that statement at that.
I like your analogy that blood is a marriage between fire and water. I agree the water is life-giving and fluid as well as fire is dynamic and abstract. Fire represents energy that is within and around us, it can be constructive in the way it gives us warmth, but it can also be destructive in the way that uncontrolled it would burn things to ash. Thanks for explaining the technique;)
I think the blood is fire and water comes from alchemy in general. I first heard it referenced from a friend, then confirmed it with some of the spirits, namely the angel of blood, who's name is Serratel.
