Shadow Energy

What Shadow Energy Is.

In order to work with shadow energy, you must first know what shadow energy is. I have posted elsewhere how light and darkness are results or subtypes of chaos, so some of you may be slightly confused when I explain that shadows are not. Shadows actually have nothing to do with chaos.

A shadow is the result of light and dark combining. When light hits an object on one side and darkness forms it's outline on the other, that is a shadow. Shadow is the result of balance between light and darkness. If you have no light then there is no shadow, everything is engulfed within darkness. If you have no darkness then there is no shadow, the object would be hit by impenetrable light from every possible angle. Shadow = Balance/order within chaos.

The comparison of shadows representing evil is entirely off. If anything, as you should have gathered from the last paragraph, shadows would represent neutrality. It is the balance between light(good) and dark(evil), thus it is neutral. Neither good nor evil. In actuality, neither light nor darkness should represent good nor evil and shadows, likewise, should not be involved with such metaphors. Why? Because everything good/evil related is based entirely on perspective, unlike light or darkness where you can not deny being unable to see either from extreme light or pure darkness.

Now that you know what it is, let's go into what it can do.

Shadows are hardly limited by anything. They exist because of light and darkness, so long as both of them are present so are shadows. Shadows, regardless of where they are, can be used for healing, attacking, defending, creating, meditating, and divining. As you can see, shadows give potential for a variety of abilities.

In healing the shadows offer balance and strength, an endurance perhaps beyond that of any other element(including earth). In attacking, shadows can be used to attack the sanity and through doing so the spirit of an individual. In defense, shadows can be used to prevent such attacks as mentioned in previous sentence and can be used to prevent any other attack that would effect your balance or integrity. In creating, shadows are often used for servitors. Shadow servitors are very useful and very good at providing their own energy source. In meditation, shadows offer the same balance they represent and of course that is often accompanied by peace of mind. In divination, shadows are often used through a pendulum or through tarot cards.

Finally, the practice.
This is a simple practice to help get you familiar with shadow energy. It is not a spell, ritual, nor a definite form of energy manipulation(although it can be), it is a visualization technique. It is also a from of meditation.

1) Sit comfortably in a shadowed area, anywhere you like.
2) Close your eyes and relax, let all your worries and fears go.
3) Visualize(sense/see) the shadows wrapping around you, forming something like a blanket.
4) Visualize(feel) the shadows softly forming a cocoon around you.
5) Visualize(sense/feel) the shadows entering you and filling you with their energy.

And that's it. Simple as that.
Good luck and have fun.

you are reallly good at making people meditate without trying tht wa a power surge and a half lol

But I was trying. This is a lesson and that meditation, although I didn't realize I was posting a meditation until I had written it, is a good way to connect with shadow energy.

whatever it does gave me chills in a good sorta way i guess grrr i think my hair is turning gray

I really like this mediation. I have tried medations with air and water fire and earth it is easier to connect with nature with it and afterwards...

i tryed it and i felt warm, comfortable, safe. it was like i just let them take me. it was a nice feeling. i really like this. im gong to do this alot now.

You know a lot of valuable information. Thank you for introducing this to us. When I tried it, it was like I was carried away and just floated in absolute darkness. It was really peaceful. I love it :)
