When I was little my dad would tell me to put my hand above his without touching it and he would release energy and then I could feel it after a bit, it was like a warmth.
Before covid and before I moved I was approached by someone who was willing to teach me how to manipulate energy. She first put her hand above mind and asked "Do you feel anything?" I replied "No". Then she released her energy and it felt like sparks, a tingling sensation going through my hand. It was so weird.
I wish I remembered who taught me, but probably my grandma. I was taught to run my hand above items in the store to make sure I pick the right one for me. Been doing this my whole life, I guess 😂
When I was learning with a friend in high-school we did this. I swear we read about it in a book but we'd practice energy exchanging, like playing catch, during lunch.
Also important to note that processing energy doesn't just need to be a physical sensation. It can be colours, sounds, smells, visual patterns. Synethesia often pops up with energy sensing. The world will translate energy into a way that you are able to understand, that is why it differs from person to person.
Thanks so much for this comment! I find it really hard to sense my own emotions and where they are in my body so i was having trouble visualizing with this so i love this comment
I can feel the energy when I walk into a room, if people have been talking about me behind my back, or even thinking of me, I can tell that something not good is happening. And when people say things to me, what their real motives are. I can sense it that they are misleading me or don't want me to get it right. That they prefer to slow me down. I've learned not to trust sweet words from someone when that person has already shown their true colors. Maybe they didn't realize that I've already picked it up. And the less I react, the more words they throw. Words becoming more empty until they stumble over them, revealing a nervous lack of truth.
I'm supposed to be a good - natured empath, but I was always surrounded by toxic people who no doubt was trying to crush it out of me. Now I'm able to Keep them away by Fuelling my aura with my darkest angers to cast Powerful, Real time Effects on myself and others! Way to go for me - no more nice empath (Contradictory, but I will not be trampled)
This! Thank the Gods someone put it into actual words! Every time someone has said something along the lines of, "you just need to feel the energy." Or something I'm like....ok but like....how?? So thank you for posting this. Now I feel like I at least have a starting point instead of walking around blind.
I’m in exactly the same situation as you!!! I sure wish I had someone else to take this journey on with! If you ever wanna talk please let me know. I’ll give you my email. Blessed be!
I am incredibly appreciative that you mentioned people who have limited mobility in their hands! I have arthritis and sometimes my hands hurt too much to feel the energy. Thanks for the idea of using a different body part!
I put my forhead on stuff!! My hands work just fine but my grandmother has arthritis as well as having suffered from stroke. Feet are great for sensing too!
I thought that was cool, too! It never occurred to me that spiritual, witchy workers were adapting to the world with these same goals! I was surprised and aptly reminded that these are very real situations that are part of our brothers’ and sisters’ daily lives. 👍
As an empath the constant energy sensing is definitely exhausting. The best energy sensing that can be energetic for me is a ritual circle. I noticed that when I went to rituals I didn’t feel as drained. The release of circles felt relieving and actually helped numbed the empathic sensing.
And the spirits that constantly visit and harass you. Between feeling spirits and people (emotions, presence, and/or intentions), I find my own energy tended to be extremely low until I figured out how to put up mental/spiritual barriers.
@@aaly.aaly.oxenfree I think this is what i need to learn to do, I feel like I’m constantly drained, tired mentally and physically and I think it’s because either my energy is leaking or something is taking it
Can't lie, when I first listened to this it sounded dangerous; moving your energy outside your body. I sense things, but it's hard to describe. It's like all my senses become active but guarded. I can usually tell if the person is not someone I want around me quickly and sometimes I know things are around me. Sometimes get a flash of someones face or just end up thinking about them if they are in the same vicinity. I always felt guarded so I was confused as to why the energy hung onto me sometimes, making me feel drained. Maybe I am putting mine out and not realizing it. Recently based on nothing but my own thoughts, I created this flower from my heart to my mind. I just.. decided to make it close when I feel drained and hold my energy in and practiced letting it open up (from stem which looks like tentacles @ bottom, & a line to the bud, blooming; closing from heart to mind- closing tentacles, then following stem to close the bud). I think it is quite similar to what you are saying here and it makes sense. I had no idea I intuitively (?) basically did what you said here. Quite interesting. Thanks for posting and helping me understand!
I sense my husband approaching our home .. sometimes when he’s as much as 200-250 yards away. No one else, though. I like hearing this put into words. Sooo helpful & edifying. Thank you! 🙏
I can do this with my husband & kids, sometimes I'll walk out and meet im at the bottom of the drive way and open the gate when I feel him coming home, poor guy was convinced I had a tracker or something on his car.
This is actually a great technique even for empathetic energy sensers. For empaths the trick is to turn off the energy sensing and to focus it, I think these techniques could help with both things
Being an empath is a gift and a curse. Ugh. Growing up in a tense household it was hell. Today at a museum the curator was so excited to show us the archived materials I was flooded with her happiness and it made me giddy.
I’ve been doing it for years without realising, slowly starting to make efforts to try and understand it. Since I got covid, getting fatigued is happening so easily, it’s slowly been dawning on me that I need to figure it out, so I can control it and not get as drained so easily. I’m wondering if that time triggered it worse somehow. Vague feelings have now turned into full blown being able to pick up things like my colleagues at work being in bad or good moods. Just today, from the person whose desk is next to me, I could tell she was in a bad mood this morning before she’d even said anything, it felt black and I could feel it a good 10-15 feet away and my desk was well within that range. I had to keep getting up and moving away to get a break. Go to the toilet, go get some water or a cuppa, anything I could think of.
I remember when I was little we used to do something at Halloween parties in school where they would put various objects in bowls and cover them so you couldn't see what they were. Noodles, jello, rocks, corn kernels etc. Then you would go through and feel each item and guess what they were, it was a basically a game where they would tell you something like "these are teeth" and have you feel the corn kernels and your mind would tell you it's teeth so you'd be creeped out basically to teach us the power of the mind and how it can influence your senses. I think about energy sensing in the same way, I close my eyes and hold something and whatever my immediate gut feeling is I make note of. Then I analyze why it was my immediate instinct. Usually I find out that the magical correspondences match up with instinct one way or another. I don't think it's technically the right way to do it but it works for me lol
I'm a highly sensitive empath and have honestly been watching to learn how to control the flow of information from all the energy around me. I'm always so stressed, fatigued and frazzled because I tend to absorb information constantly. It's exhausting and learning to stop is hard. I used tosimply cut off my emotions which led me into a put of depression. Digging myself out is a journey of self understanding
On the tarot/oracle cards: this is why I shuffle in a way that lets the cards 'jump' out or else I shuffle forevermore, I just have never been able to sense when to stop
Sometimes I use my pendulum to pick the cards. But it's a long process. Fan them out on the table and hold your pendulum over the cards. I feel like a magnetic pull towards the cards to choose. I move the pendulum over to that section of the cards and wait for a yes or no answer in that section. I ask the pendulum "is it this card?" Like I said, it's a long process and only use this method if I have time. Sometimes I'll just hover my hand along the fanned out deck and wait for the pull. It's normally my ring finger that will bend to touch the card I need. I do find if I keep shuffling, I really have to listen for the inner "stop".
@@brianwagner7357 same! my guides and my matron are very good about being aggressive with clarity in cards so if it doesn’t fly out or i don’t feel a LOUD “stop.” or other clarification on what to choose, i don’t lay it out.
I absolutely LOVE this channel and all of the amazing and beautiful subscribers!! Everyone is so nice and positive.. it’s a nice break from what has become par for the course
I feel these energies pretty strongly, it's interpreting it that I find myself struggling with. I'm autistic and have always been very spiritual and highly sensitive, I just have a hard time translating the things I feel and sense into, "this means this," or such, usually it's just, "this is good/bad/strong/weak/etc."
as a fellow individual with autsism i understand. interpreting energy is like interpreting emotions. when this happens i feel this. it comes with practice. I tend to simply use positive/negative then describe what i feel from there. when i enter this room the energy is positive. it makes me happy, hopeful, calm. i associate an emotion with it which helps me identify it. for people i treat it like a smell for a dog. this is x persons energy. when i descibe a persons energy i tend to use a visualization fo the energy. my energy tends to be cool calm sometimes can be sharp or soft. i say my energy is like ice. my older brothers energy is loud and chaotic and very hot. my brother is like fire. my moms is soft and soothing but has a very sharp whip to it. my moms is like water. it just takes practice. plus energy sensing is different for everyone. what works for me might not work for you. you do have to find your own way. i hope this helps
@@serenaleahy-higgins3that's very helpful! I'm neurodivergent too and I do think energy sensing is one of the gifts of ADHD & autism (if we learn to work with it as a gift and not a curse)
Omg I just learned that I’m a miraculous energy sensor. You’re exactly right, it’s SO draining. Sometimes I’ll lock eyes with a person and I can sense an extreme darkness. Almost like I can feel their trauma. Once it was so bad that I got nauseous and had to leave the dinner (before taking a bite- I was STARVING) just because of the “smell” of the food was so overwhelming after I met the person. Locking eyes literally made me nauseous enough to have to leave and go outside
I just tried energy sensing with the guide of this video and it was pretty draining, i tried it about 3 times and i used a plant for one of them, never felt this before and it was a journey and i still feel a little light headed so im gonna go ahead and eat some chocolate and go to bed, thank you for this video!!❤❤
Tysm! I would recommend to anyone that has a hard time matching the energy-breathing combo to try tai-chi, there's some great 5 min videos on UA-cam and you can really feel the energy flowing, is really mind blowing
Years ago, before I knew anything about energy sensing, I was at a seminar and one of the workshops was qigong. I thought it sounded interesting. It was very enjoyable, but it felt a little strange performing the exercises. I went back to my room, got ready for bed, laying several silver rings on the table next to me. After I was asleep for a while I woke up feeling really ill. Finally got back to sleep. When I woke up, I felt fine, but when I went to put my rings on, they were all collapsed on one side and they would no longer go on my fingers. Over the years, I have discussed this with others that didn’t know about energy work and was told it was the intense energy generated between the qigong and my own energy. I have that happen again in different situations, so I have to be careful or have to get my rings repaired. I don’t relate this experience often. As you can imagine most people just think it’s crazy or that I’m making it up. It’s absolutely true.
Heyyy i am autistic with PTSD and I’ve found this exercise really helpful in grounding myself and finding my center. It’s still taking me awhile , i m a serious beginner, but i just really love this technique and had to share
@5:20 YES! That level of awareness and intuition is called upon in a lot of theater excercises, but of course, our teachers dont give us helpful advice on how to develop that sense. Just expect us to do it. For instance closing your eyes and trying to find your scene partner from across the room amoungst the other cast. Like I could go on and on with examples. For many its intuitive and easy (they could instantly pick out their scene partner 80% of the time) but for me it's really hard, I would literally walk around with my eyes closed for minutes like an idiot 😭!
I'm a natural empath so have had to really protect myself over the years. THe internet and getting accidentally involved in fights on the internet are mega energy drainers for me. When I was little I had a deep connection with nature, I distinctly remember touching cut trees at my primary school and feeling pain in my arm, I was 7 years old. I feel like I've lost a lot of that intuition as I've grown into an adult.
Omg! I needed this…my whole life I have sensed energy….there have been days where the feeling of trepidation was so overwhelming I almost had a mild breakdown at work… I figured out I was picking up the energies of all these really negative teachers at work. Somehow intuitively I learned to put up a barrier around me to keep their energy away. I smell things around people sometimes I sense things in rooms. I have dreams and premonitions, I can hover my hand over objects and around people shoulders and pick up what’s going on. I’ve seen double faces on people, so many things and all of this just happened naturally… Thank you for this. This video is so filled with so much… And I’ve been struggling to get into meditation because I felt directionless. Now I actually have so many things to work on in meditation and it feels so right and the timing feels so right!! From Louisiana USA I’m so thankful for you and this video. I will be watching this video like 20 times.
That bit about 'if you are in a bit of a rut' go back to the basics. That is totally why I am enjoying these 'beginner' techniques. I am looking to shake up and become more active in my practice again, and this is helping to review and examine my thoughts and practices. I find myself responding automatically to some of your descriptions. I enjoy your talks.
Me, personally tend to do all the centering/grounding techniques but also I have incorporated yet another similar technique out in nature or woods is Earthing by not wearing shoes you're allowing the negative energy to exit back into the earth where it belongs!! )0( Blessed Be!
ok but like the first time a literally understood how energy works was at a party of my friend.I mean the party was fun but i was so sooo confused with the energy of the building.Then i learned from her best friend that they mother have died 3 years ago.And i was the only one sensing how stresfull energy that place had.It was like i sensed everything and experienced theyre emotions without knowing any information.I was shocked
Dear Hearth, the way you share your knowledge is really inspiring. It has done wonders to the way I practice. Would you ever consider making a video about learning to read tarot? It would be wonderful to learn something about it from you.
thank you for this video! i've been practicing for a few months now and never really knew about this. i used it for tarot, but never for spells or such. in a way, i did it intuitively, but i still didn't really know what i was doing. it really isn't talked about enough.
I love that you brought up this topic! So many people skip over energy work when it comes to their practice. I’m a reiki practitioner/witch going on 6 yrs now. And I use reiki in my daily practice for many things. Healing myself and others, reading crystals, creating barriers around myself and home, communicating with pets and plants. And so much more. When everything is made up of energy, I find energy work essential. You also brought up some very cool techniques I can’t wait to try out. Thank you!!
This energy work has been very real in my life. But i've always sluffed it off, bc I thought of it as kind of weird. But like you said as everything is made of energy, and bc we are raised in society in a very temporal linear way, i feel like this is highly underrated...
I've never thought of my sensing as miraculous, but it's nice that you say so. To be honest, it has caused me to exercise more compassion for my fellow humans because so many of us are so very similar in ways we don't even realize, energy signatures included. Your video has made me realize that my empathy is a gift to cherish. Thank you.
Loved this video! Looking back over my life I have always used magick, and so wish I'd had someone to mentor me as a child. My energy is strong, I didnt understand what I was feeling until I became a Reike practitioner. I can sense blockages in people and it's always amusing to me when people wonder how I know things. Crystal's actually move in my hands, I sense when certain people are near. My struggle comes from absorbing others energy and not being able to break free from it. If I walk past a home, a person, tree, plant, animal, a cemetery I feel as though I'm being tapped to read the energies, I sense a lot of sadness. Reiki is a wonderful outlet for my energy, and they wont call it sigils in most circles, but Reiki uses a lot of sigils. Now that I'm older I question the time I have, it's not so much learning as it is using and directing what I have. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you so much for this very useful video! As an empath I am always so overwhelmed by all this energy around me ( might ne the reason why I avoid crowded places). I needed this so much!
i clicked on this video and now i’m realizing i didn’t need to. i’m already good at this. tbh when i realized my connection to energy is when i got into witchcraft. i didn’t know it was hard for some people.
This was actually very useful. Iam an empath and have only recently tried to understand how it works. I've done tons of shadow work and finally feel balanced. I call this channeling. It's nice to hear about different techniques and how to exercise my energy. You've answered quite a few questions I've had for years. I feel like I can take a step forward with my new chosen lifestyle. Rather then just be a prisoner of other people's low vibes
I’m so grateful that your content is so unique & genuine, rather than a repeat of the same information over & over again. I’ve been trying to understand my empathic “tendencies” (I guess I’ll call it, ha) for years & this video was exactly the video I needed to hear to help me try & work towards controlling it! Thank you!!! Much love
also speaking of energy sensing the locations of other people; i've freaked my mom out sometimes i guess by just "hiding". like i've made her jump and say things like "oh, i couldn't feel you in the room" (and she's not into this kind of spirituality, i think this is something that happens naturally for a lot of people but we don't usually think about how we get a sense for the presence of other people)
Now that I have heard the term I can say that I started my magical path through energy sensing, firstly with objects and then with crystals and trees. I love to draw how I see the energy of the crystal and write down how it felt and what a saw.
Adore the way you explain things, with detailed facts. Adding in mobility issues with your teachings is something I find amazing about the videos you create- as it can be rare. Personally, I’ve been working on turning off my energy sensing… instead of consistently having it going. Appreciate your knowledge and teachings greatly. The “sonar” reference was so accurate. Btw something about your eyeshadow is always otherworldly, and mesmerizing. Extremely beautiful.
While I have use of both arms, I love that you think of those that don’t. It makes me feel seen as someone who does have a disability (even if it’s not my hands). Thank you for not using ablest speech.
Thank you so much for this video! Im an Empath and am constantly drained or overwhelmed. I have tried to find information on this for so long and no one ever described it as well as you have. You are a blessing!
I used to do this without knowing what I was doing. Like when I was appartment hunting, it drove my bf mad that I wouldn't want to apply to some places bc they felt weird to me. Or sometimes in markets I'm drawn to random objects and just holding them makes me feel good. I got into witchcraft cause I noticed sometimes I would get urges to walk in certain directions and go certain places, and it would lead to finding cool things or new shops or a nice tree. There's been a few times where I got really bad energy, need to practice how to not let it attach itself cause sometimes it feels like you walk through something and some of it sticks to you.
WOW. I'm one of those naturally energy sensing people that you mention at the start; it can be very overwhelming, exhausting and chaotic. I know it's a natural ability that I'd really benefit from harnessing and working with in a more intentional way, but I haven't been able to find even *a single resource* on *how* exactly to do that! I have a feeling that this video will be incredibly helpful for me. (Funny side-comment: I have an otter tattooed on my right arm! And I intuitively started visualising moving the energy around in my body as moving flowing water.)
This sounds like a nice way to focus energy when I get overwhelmed. I find it helps to keep my hands opened and not to clench my fists when I get upset, so that way I can imagine that intense, angry energy leaving my body and I can open myself up to better, healing energy. But certainly, as someone who senses really easily when other people are upset, it can get exhausting to feel it around dozens of people at work every day! I’ll look into trying this!
When I feel energy, I get this feeling in the center of my chest. It’s difficult to explain, but it is a very specific feeling… if I’m in a certain grove of trees or a running stream, I feel it. I also feel it if I hold a talisman or charm up to my chest and focus.
thanks! recently i had pain that led to gallbladder surgery so i havent been rly working on my practice at all but this video feels inspiring today :) also love your eyeshadow so much!!
I dont know why this information isn’t everywhere, i always looked up whats important to research in witchcraft but didn’t realize i was missing a very vital part, Energy sensing and manipulation.
yes thank you, jfc. finally. everyone always talking about casting magic and doing stuff and im doing it blind because i got no idea how to sense these things
Oh my god!!!! Thank you! This is exactly what I've been looking for. My journey started with accidentally absorbing energy and I haven't been able to properly describe it or even know exactly what happened that night but you've shed a bright light on the subject. I've been very proficient with absorbing so hopefully now I will be able to direct it into people and things.
Ok, that "weird thing" that happens to me when I visit the spiritualist church or when I touch old stone or old buildings, finally has a name! Who knew I could control it!
i was practicing while in watching. i am in the chair my nana constantly sat in whilst fighting against cancer (she recovered!!) and i could feel the sadness and smell how she smelled during the battle.
Came across this video "randomly" 😜 I apparently have been doing this all my life, I use my art to commune with the universal energy/force/creator. I find bits of things that speak to me: rocks, wood, rusted metal and etc then I piece them together until they fit. Never did learn or figure out how to block out others signals and am an extreme introvert as a result. Picturing a bubble around me doesn't work 😕 actually took me 20 yrs to figure out I'm not crazy and those emotions I feel don't belong to me 😑 I look forward to watching more of your videos 😊
Just wanted to say, coming back into practice after a time away, this is by far the best explanation of how to sense energy that I've ever heard and it is similar to what I was doing before. Really loved how you broke it down and the exercise was brilliant. Definitely gonna keep watching your channel! Thank you and take care!
Ok the tendril thing i unknowingly already did, never knew anyone else did it, I mainly use it when deciding what supplies to buy, as which one speaks to me lol
I've always been very highly attuned to strong energies. Some energies I can pick up on. I've used energy for luck-based things or to find something I've lost [sometimes works sometimes doesn't] without knowing it was witchcraft.
I wouldn't consider myself new to the craft but its been a little less than six years and I only started feeling and being able to make an energy ball three years ago. Only two books so far that I've got talk about energy at all. Thanks for the video. :3
I've always been very receptive to energies naturally, way before i started practicing, but i could never control it, so im excited to see how easy or hard that would be for me
Omg I've been trying to find solid info on energy work for so long now, and I was shocked to hear about the tendrils, bc I realized I've been doing an undisciplined version of that without realizing what it was! Thank you so much!
Great video! I became a witch when I was a kid and learned from my friends father who was a high priest. I remember him getting us to do the energy sensing exercise where you send hot or cold and it was really fun.
I needed this I’ve been taking time off of my studies due to work because I totally forgot that everyday is an opportunity to practice and my have I been feeling my spirit guides not like that so ima get back on my shit
Very interesting. I’m noticing how my crystals are different. I have a cat on both sides of me and when I push my energy out, I get such strong positive vibes from them that everything else in the room feels flat compared to them. Looking forward to trying this outside! Thanks for the information, you always explain it very well and I am learning a lot and really enjoying your videos!
As an empath I have noticed that it can fluctuate between being a light brush like feeling of the energy to feeling like the energy is pulsing violently in the back of my head to feeling the energy wash over me like a wave. I use energy sensing when finding abd placing items on my altars, once I find an item that feels right I want until I feel a gentle brush of energy in my head telling me that I have found the right spot. Though if I'm placing an item on a deity altar sometimes it's more of an excited pulse
I love how excited you get for getting it all in the one take. This is so useful, thanks a lot. You would love Yoga Nidra, get on the floor in a dark room covered with a blanket and try a sesh from UA-cam (I think there are some guided dream meditations in here). Much love 🌻
My hands are my center, mostly my right hand, so i will usually place an object in my left hand or just set it on my forehead cx i really sense things best with my head(air sign things i guess lol ♊) even when i read cards, if im having trouble understanding a particular card ill tap it on my forehead lol
I'm Designing an Attacking Visual mantra: Purple Fanged Lines Of Crimson. It Automatically helps with sensing energy! -Tunes you into it, so to speak. That's the only way it will feel like it's working (which means it's working)
When I was little my dad would tell me to put my hand above his without touching it and he would release energy and then I could feel it after a bit, it was like a warmth.
Before covid and before I moved I was approached by someone who was willing to teach me how to manipulate energy. She first put her hand above mind and asked "Do you feel anything?" I replied "No". Then she released her energy and it felt like sparks, a tingling sensation going through my hand. It was so weird.
I wish I remembered who taught me, but probably my grandma. I was taught to run my hand above items in the store to make sure I pick the right one for me. Been doing this my whole life, I guess 😂
When I was learning with a friend in high-school we did this. I swear we read about it in a book but we'd practice energy exchanging, like playing catch, during lunch.
Lucky......all my dad does is tell me to do yard work and yell at me for holding the flashlight wrong🥲
Yeah that’s energy. Thermal energy…
Also important to note that processing energy doesn't just need to be a physical sensation. It can be colours, sounds, smells, visual patterns. Synethesia often pops up with energy sensing. The world will translate energy into a way that you are able to understand, that is why it differs from person to person.
Do you have any other sensations? I think I’m figuring out a few things I’ve been experiencing for years so I’m just wondering if maybe it’s similar
Oh my god, I’ve been wondering about colors 😭😭😭 that’s what I see/feel
Thanks so much for this comment! I find it really hard to sense my own emotions and where they are in my body so i was having trouble visualizing with this so i love this comment
Would the energetic absorbition of the natural electricity from lightning be considered as a type of energy sensing ?
Thank you for mentioning that! Great info!
I can feel the energy when I walk into a room, if people have been talking about me behind my back, or even thinking of me, I can tell that something not good is happening. And when people say things to me, what their real motives are. I can sense it that they are misleading me or don't want me to get it right. That they prefer to slow me down. I've learned not to trust sweet words from someone when that person has already shown their true colors. Maybe they didn't realize that I've already picked it up. And the less I react, the more words they throw. Words becoming more empty until they stumble over them, revealing a nervous lack of truth.
As an empath, energy work comes naturally to me. I’m learning more everyday. Thanks for eye opening video.
Me too, I work heavily with dowsing divination and it came very naturally to me as an empath. 👍💓
I'm supposed to be a good - natured empath, but I was always surrounded by toxic people who no doubt was trying to crush it out of me.
Now I'm able to Keep them away by Fuelling my aura with my darkest angers to cast Powerful, Real time Effects on myself and others!
Way to go for me - no more nice empath (Contradictory, but I will not be trampled)
This! Thank the Gods someone put it into actual words! Every time someone has said something along the lines of, "you just need to feel the energy." Or something I'm like....ok but like....how?? So thank you for posting this. Now I feel like I at least have a starting point instead of walking around blind.
Exactly! I'm the same.
Same 😊
True .Specially if we don't know who We are . 🧹🪄 But it's easy now if we know ourselves and learn from others . 🌺
energy work is tricky for those who learn it for themselves. good luck!
its the reason why my spells havent worked for 4 years lol
I'm a beginner witch and I'm still in my broom closet. I love your videos and I watch them regularly. Thanks
What sparked your interest in witchcraft?
Yeah I'm very curious myself. I'm also a witch, been at it since this time in 2019.
I'm a newbie been drawn to the craft since a child now my children are grown ... It's now time to learn and practice my calling thank you so much ❤️😘
I’m in exactly the same situation as you!!! I sure wish I had someone else to take this journey on with! If you ever wanna talk please let me know. I’ll give you my email. Blessed be!
I am incredibly appreciative that you mentioned people who have limited mobility in their hands! I have arthritis and sometimes my hands hurt too much to feel the energy. Thanks for the idea of using a different body part!
I so appreciated this as well as someone with arthritis!
I put my forhead on stuff!! My hands work just fine but my grandmother has arthritis as well as having suffered from stroke. Feet are great for sensing too!
I thought that was cool, too! It never occurred to me that spiritual, witchy workers were adapting to the world with these same goals! I was surprised and aptly reminded that these are very real situations that are part of our brothers’ and sisters’ daily lives. 👍
As an empath the constant energy sensing is definitely exhausting. The best energy sensing that can be energetic for me is a ritual circle. I noticed that when I went to rituals I didn’t feel as drained. The release of circles felt relieving and actually helped numbed the empathic sensing.
And the spirits that constantly visit and harass you. Between feeling spirits and people (emotions, presence, and/or intentions), I find my own energy tended to be extremely low until I figured out how to put up mental/spiritual barriers.
Yes me too!!
@@aaly.aaly.oxenfree I think this is what i need to learn to do, I feel like I’m constantly drained, tired mentally and physically and I think it’s because either my energy is leaking or something is taking it
Probably best not to repress it and not constantly be in a state of paranoia and love everything and everyone around you and in some boundries?
I think groudning helps with that?
Can't lie, when I first listened to this it sounded dangerous; moving your energy outside your body. I sense things, but it's hard to describe. It's like all my senses become active but guarded. I can usually tell if the person is not someone I want around me quickly and sometimes I know things are around me. Sometimes get a flash of someones face or just end up thinking about them if they are in the same vicinity. I always felt guarded so I was confused as to why the energy hung onto me sometimes, making me feel drained. Maybe I am putting mine out and not realizing it. Recently based on nothing but my own thoughts, I created this flower from my heart to my mind. I just.. decided to make it close when I feel drained and hold my energy in and practiced letting it open up (from stem which looks like tentacles @ bottom, & a line to the bud, blooming; closing from heart to mind- closing tentacles, then following stem to close the bud). I think it is quite similar to what you are saying here and it makes sense. I had no idea I intuitively (?) basically did what you said here. Quite interesting. Thanks for posting and helping me understand!
I sense my husband approaching our home .. sometimes when he’s as much as 200-250 yards away. No one else, though. I like hearing this put into words. Sooo helpful & edifying. Thank you! 🙏
This makes sense to me because I'd think sensing energy would be easier with someone you already have a strong connection to.
I can do this with my husband & kids, sometimes I'll walk out and meet im at the bottom of the drive way and open the gate when I feel him coming home, poor guy was convinced I had a tracker or something on his car.
This is actually a great technique even for empathetic energy sensers. For empaths the trick is to turn off the energy sensing and to focus it, I think these techniques could help with both things
Being an empath is a gift and a curse. Ugh. Growing up in a tense household it was hell. Today at a museum the curator was so excited to show us the archived materials I was flooded with her happiness and it made me giddy.
I’ve been doing it for years without realising, slowly starting to make efforts to try and understand it. Since I got covid, getting fatigued is happening so easily, it’s slowly been dawning on me that I need to figure it out, so I can control it and not get as drained so easily. I’m wondering if that time triggered it worse somehow. Vague feelings have now turned into full blown being able to pick up things like my colleagues at work being in bad or good moods. Just today, from the person whose desk is next to me, I could tell she was in a bad mood this morning before she’d even said anything, it felt black and I could feel it a good 10-15 feet away and my desk was well within that range. I had to keep getting up and moving away to get a break. Go to the toilet, go get some water or a cuppa, anything I could think of.
I remember when I was little we used to do something at Halloween parties in school where they would put various objects in bowls and cover them so you couldn't see what they were. Noodles, jello, rocks, corn kernels etc. Then you would go through and feel each item and guess what they were, it was a basically a game where they would tell you something like "these are teeth" and have you feel the corn kernels and your mind would tell you it's teeth so you'd be creeped out basically to teach us the power of the mind and how it can influence your senses. I think about energy sensing in the same way, I close my eyes and hold something and whatever my immediate gut feeling is I make note of. Then I analyze why it was my immediate instinct. Usually I find out that the magical correspondences match up with instinct one way or another. I don't think it's technically the right way to do it but it works for me lol
I'm a highly sensitive empath and have honestly been watching to learn how to control the flow of information from all the energy around me. I'm always so stressed, fatigued and frazzled because I tend to absorb information constantly. It's exhausting and learning to stop is hard. I used tosimply cut off my emotions which led me into a put of depression. Digging myself out is a journey of self understanding
On the tarot/oracle cards: this is why I shuffle in a way that lets the cards 'jump' out or else I shuffle forevermore, I just have never been able to sense when to stop
same
Sometimes I use my pendulum to pick the cards. But it's a long process.
Fan them out on the table and hold your pendulum over the cards. I feel like a magnetic pull towards the cards to choose. I move the pendulum over to that section of the cards and wait for a yes or no answer in that section. I ask the pendulum "is it this card?" Like I said, it's a long process and only use this method if I have time.
Sometimes I'll just hover my hand along the fanned out deck and wait for the pull. It's normally my ring finger that will bend to touch the card I need.
I do find if I keep shuffling, I really have to listen for the inner "stop".
Depending on what guide is helping me... if the cards arent flying out, i dont take em. I need aggressive clarity xD
One thing ive done too is just dropping my whole deck on the floor and taking the cards that land face up
@@brianwagner7357 same! my guides and my matron are very good about being aggressive with clarity in cards so if it doesn’t fly out or i don’t feel a LOUD “stop.” or other clarification on what to choose, i don’t lay it out.
I absolutely LOVE this channel and all of the amazing and beautiful subscribers!! Everyone is so nice and positive.. it’s a nice break from what has become par for the course
Dearest! Thank you! Love from Switzerland! 🥰
Omg me too😅❤ loll hii👋🏻
me too ! Hey
Oh hi y'all, cool to see that there are fellow Swiss people here :D
I feel these energies pretty strongly, it's interpreting it that I find myself struggling with.
I'm autistic and have always been very spiritual and highly sensitive, I just have a hard time translating the things I feel and sense into, "this means this," or such, usually it's just, "this is good/bad/strong/weak/etc."
Same here :/ autism sucks sometimes
as a fellow individual with autsism i understand. interpreting energy is like interpreting emotions. when this happens i feel this. it comes with practice. I tend to simply use positive/negative then describe what i feel from there. when i enter this room the energy is positive. it makes me happy, hopeful, calm. i associate an emotion with it which helps me identify it. for people i treat it like a smell for a dog. this is x persons energy. when i descibe a persons energy i tend to use a visualization fo the energy. my energy tends to be cool calm sometimes can be sharp or soft. i say my energy is like ice. my older brothers energy is loud and chaotic and very hot. my brother is like fire. my moms is soft and soothing but has a very sharp whip to it. my moms is like water. it just takes practice. plus energy sensing is different for everyone. what works for me might not work for you. you do have to find your own way. i hope this helps
@@serenaleahy-higgins3that's very helpful! I'm neurodivergent too and I do think energy sensing is one of the gifts of ADHD & autism (if we learn to work with it as a gift and not a curse)
Omg I just learned that I’m a miraculous energy sensor. You’re exactly right, it’s SO draining. Sometimes I’ll lock eyes with a person and I can sense an extreme darkness. Almost like I can feel their trauma. Once it was so bad that I got nauseous and had to leave the dinner (before taking a bite- I was STARVING) just because of the “smell” of the food was so overwhelming after I met the person.
Locking eyes literally made me nauseous enough to have to leave and go outside
I just tried energy sensing with the guide of this video and it was pretty draining, i tried it about 3 times and i used a plant for one of them, never felt this before and it was a journey and i still feel a little light headed so im gonna go ahead and eat some chocolate and go to bed, thank you for this video!!❤❤
Remember to ground before and after too!
great self care. dont over do it.
you posting this the day i decided to finally get into witchcraft is a sign!
Tysm! I would recommend to anyone that has a hard time matching the energy-breathing combo to try tai-chi, there's some great 5 min videos on UA-cam and you can really feel the energy flowing, is really mind blowing
Years ago, before I knew anything about energy sensing, I was at a seminar and one of the workshops was qigong. I thought it sounded interesting. It was very enjoyable, but it felt a little strange performing the exercises. I went back to my room, got ready for bed, laying several silver rings on the table next to me. After I was asleep for a while I woke up feeling really ill. Finally got back to sleep. When I woke up, I felt fine, but when I went to put my rings on, they were all collapsed on one side and they would no longer go on my fingers. Over the years, I have discussed this with others that didn’t know about energy work and was told it was the intense energy generated between the qigong and my own energy. I have that happen again in different situations, so I have to be careful or have to get my rings repaired. I don’t relate this experience often. As you can imagine most people just think it’s crazy or that I’m making it up. It’s absolutely true.
Heyyy i am autistic with PTSD and I’ve found this exercise really helpful in grounding myself and finding my center. It’s still taking me awhile , i m a serious beginner, but i just really love this technique and had to share
Wow! I love your eyeshadow. I used to use Makeupstore had a shade called Ra, it reminded of that beautiful color. You look cute on yellow.
@5:20 YES! That level of awareness and intuition is called upon in a lot of theater excercises, but of course, our teachers dont give us helpful advice on how to develop that sense. Just expect us to do it. For instance closing your eyes and trying to find your scene partner from across the room amoungst the other cast. Like I could go on and on with examples. For many its intuitive and easy (they could instantly pick out their scene partner 80% of the time) but for me it's really hard, I would literally walk around with my eyes closed for minutes like an idiot 😭!
I'm a natural empath so have had to really protect myself over the years. THe internet and getting accidentally involved in fights on the internet are mega energy drainers for me. When I was little I had a deep connection with nature, I distinctly remember touching cut trees at my primary school and feeling pain in my arm, I was 7 years old. I feel like I've lost a lot of that intuition as I've grown into an adult.
Omg! I needed this…my whole life I have sensed energy….there have been days where the feeling of trepidation was so overwhelming I almost had a mild breakdown at work… I figured out I was picking up the energies of all these really negative teachers at work. Somehow intuitively I learned to put up a barrier around me to keep their energy away. I smell things around people sometimes I sense things in rooms. I have dreams and premonitions, I can hover my hand over objects and around people shoulders and pick up what’s going on. I’ve seen double faces on people, so many things and all of this just happened naturally… Thank you for this. This video is so filled with so much… And I’ve been struggling to get into meditation because I felt directionless. Now I actually have so many things to work on in meditation and it feels so right and the timing feels so right!! From Louisiana USA I’m so thankful for you and this video. I will be watching this video like 20 times.
That bit about 'if you are in a bit of a rut' go back to the basics. That is totally why I am enjoying these 'beginner' techniques. I am looking to shake up and become more active in my practice again, and this is helping to review and examine my thoughts and practices. I find myself responding automatically to some of your descriptions. I enjoy your talks.
Me, personally tend to do all the centering/grounding techniques but also I have incorporated yet another similar technique out in nature or woods is Earthing by not wearing shoes you're allowing the negative energy to exit back into the earth where it belongs!! )0( Blessed Be!
ok but like the first time a literally understood how energy works was at a party of my friend.I mean the party was fun but i was so sooo confused with the energy of the building.Then i learned from her best friend that they mother have died 3 years ago.And i was the only one sensing how stresfull energy that place had.It was like i sensed everything and experienced theyre emotions without knowing any information.I was shocked
I've been using that tendril extension technique for years. I have never heard anyone else use those terms before when explaining that process.
Dear Hearth, the way you share your knowledge is really inspiring. It has done wonders to the way I practice.
Would you ever consider making a video about learning to read tarot?
It would be wonderful to learn something about it from you.
One thing I learned to do was to move energy into my eyes so that I can see energy
Amazing can I ask you how it looks like ?
thank you for this video! i've been practicing for a few months now and never really knew about this.
i used it for tarot, but never for spells or such. in a way, i did it intuitively, but i still didn't really know what i was doing.
it really isn't talked about enough.
it was actually the best video about energy sensing I have ever seen. Thanks a lot . It was the video i was looking for. 💆♂
I love that you brought up this topic! So many people skip over energy work when it comes to their practice. I’m a reiki practitioner/witch going on 6 yrs now. And I use reiki in my daily practice for many things. Healing myself and others, reading crystals, creating barriers around myself and home, communicating with pets and plants. And so much more. When everything is made up of energy, I find energy work essential. You also brought up some very cool techniques I can’t wait to try out. Thank you!!
This energy work has been very real in my life. But i've always sluffed it off, bc I thought of it as kind of weird. But like you said as everything is made of energy, and bc we are raised in society in a very temporal linear way, i feel like this is highly underrated...
I've never thought of my sensing as miraculous, but it's nice that you say so. To be honest, it has caused me to exercise more compassion for my fellow humans because so many of us are so very similar in ways we don't even realize, energy signatures included. Your video has made me realize that my empathy is a gift to cherish. Thank you.
Loved this video! Looking back over my life I have always used magick, and so wish I'd had someone to mentor me as a child. My energy is strong, I didnt understand what I was feeling until I became a Reike practitioner. I can sense blockages in people and it's always amusing to me when people wonder how I know things. Crystal's actually move in my hands, I sense when certain people are near. My struggle comes from absorbing others energy and not being able to break free from it. If I walk past a home, a person, tree, plant, animal, a cemetery I feel as though I'm being tapped to read the energies, I sense a lot of sadness. Reiki is a wonderful outlet for my energy, and they wont call it sigils in most circles, but Reiki uses a lot of sigils. Now that I'm older I question the time I have, it's not so much learning as it is using and directing what I have. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you so much for this very useful video! As an empath I am always so overwhelmed by all this energy around me ( might ne the reason why I avoid crowded places). I needed this so much!
More of these energy work please....also absolutely love your eye shadow
This was an AMAZING instructional video! You are so awesome for sharing your knowledge. Thanks!
i clicked on this video and now i’m realizing i didn’t need to. i’m already good at this. tbh when i realized my connection to energy is when i got into witchcraft. i didn’t know it was hard for some people.
i grew up in a religious family buy we always beleived in energy transfers. so when i became a witch i was already quite experienced in energy work
I adore the bloopers… and if you’re at all into cosplay I think Lady Death might be up your alley. 34:17
This was actually very useful. Iam an empath and have only recently tried to understand how it works.
I've done tons of shadow work and finally feel balanced. I call this channeling. It's nice to hear about different techniques and how to exercise my energy. You've answered quite a few questions I've had for years. I feel like I can take a step forward with my new chosen lifestyle. Rather then just be a prisoner of other people's low vibes
I love that you made this accessible to everyone, not very many practitioners do, thank you
I’m so grateful that your content is so unique & genuine, rather than a repeat of the same information over & over again. I’ve been trying to understand my empathic “tendencies” (I guess I’ll call it, ha) for years & this video was exactly the video I needed to hear to help me try & work towards controlling it! Thank you!!! Much love
also speaking of energy sensing the locations of other people; i've freaked my mom out sometimes i guess by just "hiding". like i've made her jump and say things like "oh, i couldn't feel you in the room" (and she's not into this kind of spirituality, i think this is something that happens naturally for a lot of people but we don't usually think about how we get a sense for the presence of other people)
Now that I have heard the term I can say that I started my magical path through energy sensing, firstly with objects and then with crystals and trees. I love to draw how I see the energy of the crystal and write down how it felt and what a saw.
Adore the way you explain things, with detailed facts. Adding in mobility issues with your teachings is something I find amazing about the videos you create- as it can be rare. Personally, I’ve been working on turning off my energy sensing… instead of consistently having it going. Appreciate your knowledge and teachings greatly. The “sonar” reference was so accurate.
Btw something about your eyeshadow is always otherworldly, and mesmerizing. Extremely beautiful.
While I have use of both arms, I love that you think of those that don’t. It makes me feel seen as someone who does have a disability (even if it’s not my hands). Thank you for not using ablest speech.
Thank you so much for this video! Im an Empath and am constantly drained or overwhelmed. I have tried to find information on this for so long and no one ever described it as well as you have. You are a blessing!
I used to do this without knowing what I was doing. Like when I was appartment hunting, it drove my bf mad that I wouldn't want to apply to some places bc they felt weird to me. Or sometimes in markets I'm drawn to random objects and just holding them makes me feel good. I got into witchcraft cause I noticed sometimes I would get urges to walk in certain directions and go certain places, and it would lead to finding cool things or new shops or a nice tree. There's been a few times where I got really bad energy, need to practice how to not let it attach itself cause sometimes it feels like you walk through something and some of it sticks to you.
WOW. I'm one of those naturally energy sensing people that you mention at the start; it can be very overwhelming, exhausting and chaotic. I know it's a natural ability that I'd really benefit from harnessing and working with in a more intentional way, but I haven't been able to find even *a single resource* on *how* exactly to do that! I have a feeling that this video will be incredibly helpful for me.
(Funny side-comment: I have an otter tattooed on my right arm! And I intuitively started visualising moving the energy around in my body as moving flowing water.)
This sounds like a nice way to focus energy when I get overwhelmed. I find it helps to keep my hands opened and not to clench my fists when I get upset, so that way I can imagine that intense, angry energy leaving my body and I can open myself up to better, healing energy. But certainly, as someone who senses really easily when other people are upset, it can get exhausting to feel it around dozens of people at work every day! I’ll look into trying this!
When I feel energy, I get this feeling in the center of my chest. It’s difficult to explain, but it is a very specific feeling… if I’m in a certain grove of trees or a running stream, I feel it. I also feel it if I hold a talisman or charm up to my chest and focus.
thanks! recently i had pain that led to gallbladder surgery so i havent been rly working on my practice at all but this video feels inspiring today :)
also love your eyeshadow so much!!
Sending you love and healing dear! 🌈💞
Thank you! I was literally laying in bed last night, trying to figure out how to sense energy around me. LOL.
I dont know why this information isn’t everywhere, i always looked up whats important to research in witchcraft but didn’t realize i was missing a very vital part, Energy sensing and manipulation.
yes thank you, jfc. finally. everyone always talking about casting magic and doing stuff and im doing it blind because i got no idea how to sense these things
Oh my god!!!! Thank you! This is exactly what I've been looking for. My journey started with accidentally absorbing energy and I haven't been able to properly describe it or even know exactly what happened that night but you've shed a bright light on the subject. I've been very proficient with absorbing so hopefully now I will be able to direct it into people and things.
Ok, that "weird thing" that happens to me when I visit the spiritualist church or when I touch old stone or old buildings, finally has a name! Who knew I could control it!
i was practicing while in watching. i am in the chair my nana constantly sat in whilst fighting against cancer (she recovered!!) and i could feel the sadness and smell how she smelled during the battle.
I have been able to sense the magic in individuals and it is something I just know and feel even if they don't know it since I was very young.
Excellent Hoth👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻, you are great, thank you
Yay!!!! I always get so excited when I see you’ve posted a new video!
HearthWitch, I am a beginner witch. I really enjoy your videos.
Here’s the awesome part about this for me, the center of energy is in my right hand, kinda like Ahri from LoL with her energy spheres.
Came across this video "randomly" 😜 I apparently have been doing this all my life, I use my art to commune with the universal energy/force/creator. I find bits of things that speak to me: rocks, wood, rusted metal and etc then I piece them together until they fit. Never did learn or figure out how to block out others signals and am an extreme introvert as a result. Picturing a bubble around me doesn't work 😕 actually took me 20 yrs to figure out I'm not crazy and those emotions I feel don't belong to me 😑 I look forward to watching more of your videos 😊
This was very helpful! Thank you for uploading these beginner witch things :)
This is literally perfect, I’ve been very drawn to energy work lately but I’ve had no clue where to start 🥺 Thank you so much !!!!!✨
Just wanted to say, coming back into practice after a time away, this is by far the best explanation of how to sense energy that I've ever heard and it is similar to what I was doing before. Really loved how you broke it down and the exercise was brilliant. Definitely gonna keep watching your channel! Thank you and take care!
Ok the tendril thing i unknowingly already did, never knew anyone else did it, I mainly use it when deciding what supplies to buy, as which one speaks to me lol
Omg! using the bubble made aura work so much faster!!!!!! Never tried using my bubble for that before so genius
You should totally do a video about magickal theory!
I've always been very highly attuned to strong energies. Some energies I can pick up on. I've used energy for luck-based things or to find something I've lost [sometimes works sometimes doesn't] without knowing it was witchcraft.
I wouldn't consider myself new to the craft but its been a little less than six years and I only started feeling and being able to make an energy ball three years ago. Only two books so far that I've got talk about energy at all. Thanks for the video. :3
I've always been very receptive to energies naturally, way before i started practicing, but i could never control it, so im excited to see how easy or hard that would be for me
Omg I've been trying to find solid info on energy work for so long now, and I was shocked to hear about the tendrils, bc I realized I've been doing an undisciplined version of that without realizing what it was! Thank you so much!
Book recommendations please!! This video is excellent and the topic isn’t discussed nearly enough. Thank you!!!
That eye makeup is so mesmerising 😍
Congratulations on 111k followers!!!
Great video! I became a witch when I was a kid and learned from my friends father who was a high priest. I remember him getting us to do the energy sensing exercise where you send hot or cold and it was really fun.
I needed this I’ve been taking time off of my studies due to work because I totally forgot that everyday is an opportunity to practice and my have I been feeling my spirit guides not like that so ima get back on my shit
Thanks hearth! Your videos make a good travel companion while I'm working on the road
I do feel more energy in my left hand. I do thank you for this video, and all you do.
Very informative thank you!!! Love and light, blessed be.
You make this all so accessible and understandable. Really great stuff thank you
Im clairsentient, i could feel vibrations and tingles down my arm and half of my body. Pretty cool.
You did a really good job in explanation, this will help I got empath abilities , that when I was younger I couldn't control.
This is some of the most useful info I've received in 20+ years. Thank you 🌹
Very interesting. I’m noticing how my crystals are different. I have a cat on both sides of me and when I push my energy out, I get such strong positive vibes from them that everything else in the room feels flat compared to them. Looking forward to trying this outside! Thanks for the information, you always explain it very well and I am learning a lot and really enjoying your videos!
As an empath I have noticed that it can fluctuate between being a light brush like feeling of the energy to feeling like the energy is pulsing violently in the back of my head to feeling the energy wash over me like a wave. I use energy sensing when finding abd placing items on my altars, once I find an item that feels right I want until I feel a gentle brush of energy in my head telling me that I have found the right spot. Though if I'm placing an item on a deity altar sometimes it's more of an excited pulse
I love how excited you get for getting it all in the one take. This is so useful, thanks a lot. You would love Yoga Nidra, get on the floor in a dark room covered with a blanket and try a sesh from UA-cam (I think there are some guided dream meditations in here). Much love 🌻
I really appreciate you and the super cool Otter fact.
That blew my mind
Yess, I clicked so fast!!! Btw your makeup look soooo good😍💛
That's the look I strive for
My hands are my center, mostly my right hand, so i will usually place an object in my left hand or just set it on my forehead cx i really sense things best with my head(air sign things i guess lol ♊) even when i read cards, if im having trouble understanding a particular card ill tap it on my forehead lol
I'm Designing an Attacking Visual mantra: Purple Fanged Lines Of Crimson.
It Automatically helps with sensing energy! -Tunes you into it, so to speak. That's the only way it will feel like it's working (which means it's working)
