Magic is dangerous. Alot of people may not realise that – its like fire, if you're not careful, it can spread. The first thing you need to do is understand the theory of magic. This may sound boring, but you must learn that all things have an energy, and that energy can be manipulated. Before you begin to even think about maniuplating energy, you have to know HOW to. You have to build up your constitution so that if it overflows, so that if you lose control, it wont kill you. Think of it as like being stuck in a rip – if you fight it you die, if you go with it, you have chance of survival.
By fighting the energy, the overflow of energy, you use more of your life source. But if you allow it to simply wash through you, you are more likely to walk away unscathed.
In order to practise magic, you need to be in a calm state. Meditation helps. Imagine a ball of energy where your heart or crown chakra is – these are your Sources. It is easier to use your crown energy for this because it is weaker than the heart chakra – the heart is full of emotions, where as you mind is logical. This is where the energy for telekinesis is located. First you have to LEARN the energy, how it moves, and what its pattern is. Its like a knot – trying to untie a complicated knot without learning its pattern first, often results in the knot becoming even more complex. However, if you learn where the threads entwine and intersect, you can unravel it that much easier. Once you learn it, you can inspect it. Touch it with your mind. Dont delve too deep or you will be lost. Once you have learnt it and it has learnt you, you can begin to work together. Energy has a mind of its own, it cannot be CONTROLLED it can only be influenced. After all, you do not command your body to move, your brain sends electromagnetic suggestions to the limbs.
I hope this helps. This may be the longest post i have ever made.
