Bad to gather?

[boydster]

The atmosphere is packed with the kind of energy which is made just for you. Why would you work so hard or attempt to take in something which is so foreign to your system? The prana that the sun pours upon us is limitless---what's wrong with that as a source?

No criticism...just trying to figure out why you are looking in such an obtuse direction for a source of energy.

Perhaps you are confused with term "energy" ? For someone new to "energywork" all this talk about atmospheric energy and other kinds of energy "gathered"/"pooled" can be pretty confusing. For someone microwave energy can be just as mystical as talking about drawing energy from "higher places". And i guess(from the post[]) thought to be a valid source of thise mystical energies.

To be honest , no one can validate(as far as i know) just how much energy they are gathering(or passing trough them) at any moment. When you do energywork you get a feeling of energy passing trough or into you. It is just ASSUMED that those feelings actually carry energy with them (why else would they feel like it[]).

To be certain that you gather energy you would need a skill that works better when you feel "tanked up". So for the new person i guess it would be hard if not possible to verify if they actually are getting more energy ,since they cant run further ,lift harder or work longer. And the hard to get "mystical abilities" are no where in sight.

Infact i guess it would be totally valid for the critical eye to view NEW(the energysystem) or energy work in general as an art off harrassing the nervuos system!

I myself after 2 years down the road (and persive myself as having the "mystical" Speirema(Kundalini) .I am not totally sure off thise energies. I got no great metaphysical abilities. to verify progress with. But still i sence progress through it hurt less ,bothers me less(on ussual days) , and is getting stronger(on unussual days).
And i gotten smarter(measured trough IQtests ).  

And off course i had some hard to explain days where i couldnt tire no matter how i tried (2 times it happend) ,resulting in no sleep.
That is basicly what keeps me thinking it is something else than me going bonkers ,going on [].

Ok back to energy .Most people doing energywork , think about there is a a "great lake"(very basic terms) sorounding the universe and entering  through their head or feet (according to their spesific system) . Some persive objects like magnets or crystals to hold great energies useble for this purpose (see other threads[]).

And you are wondering if microwaves is a good source ! Right off the bat i can say it doesnt sound that much stranger than getting "fueled" by magnets. Both are a physical manifestation of energy(like real world) ,the only diffrence is while magnetic fields are rather unknown in their effects on the physical body , the microwaves are known to have a bad effect in large dosis (like from a poorly shielded microwaveoven).

So i would NOT recomend meditating or visualising about microwave energy right next to the oven going on FULL [] (infact to me it sounds hillerius ,but thats me). The same goes for sitting under powerlines(not microwave but still..) !

BUT ! Sitting in your room or outside and visualising or meditating about microwaves entering your body and turning into lifeforce or something ,cant be said to have any bad effects. I dont know about any system that actually does it . And if you still where to get physical ill effects from it , then i guess you done something metaphysical!!(same with good effects to!)

Markperson i would think that if you are a beginner and want play around with thise things, that a easy to understand system like NEW would be ideal(found on the frontpage of this site). But what you make off thise feelings your stirring up trough it , is totally up to you interpret(for good or bad).

I wouldn't really say im new to energy monipulation i've been practicing for 9 months. I was just going around my house and fealing out the energy in everyday objects When i came across the microwave. I just stopped and thought maybe gathering energy from a microwave is a bad idea so i gave you guys a holler and this is what i came up with = microwave energy probably bad[xx(]

Hi Markperson,

With the energy raising practice you've been doing, you will have become more sensitive to your surroundings. The energy raising opens up dormant senses, allowing you to "feel" more.

This will include a lot of EM energy, as it too has subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) effects on your body, though often these effects can be negative.

As to using or drawing in energy, even though EM energy is often used to provide descriptions of how the energy body works by way of analogy, but it cannot be effectively used by our energy or etheric bodies - wrong kind of stuff. Yes people have spoken of the use of magnets, but these are very low gauss magnets whose benefits are more directly linked to the blood and our physical body, or are used, like hematite as a very effective means of grounding.

If you wish to draw in energy (kinda the whole point to energy raising) draw on nature. As Boydster mentioned, it's all around you. The energy that feeds our energy bodies is not EM energy but life energy - energy from the Divine, the energy of creation itsself. It's all around us in quantities far greater than we can ever need. The greatest abundance of this energy can come either from the Earth herself or as white-gold light called down from above. You need never turn to any man made devices. Not only can they not provide nearly as much as nature, its impure or completely useless to us.

Kind regards,
James.

Are there certain things that you should not gather energy from? Things like a microwave. Well i was just wondering because i was thinking of trying to gather energy from a microwave and i didn't know if it was safe.

If anyone posts thanks.
