Power Low Options

I graduated from collage on 2007 and i started work at 2008, I used to practice magick alot between 2007/2008 Now this job i am having is promising but exhausting , I go back and light candles ,prepare my altar, and here i fall asleep in the process...i am getting seriously low of energy..I charge it seems to replenish me but i get exhausted fast again,it feels like i am being drained sometimes...
I love my circle ,i would like to be there daily.does anyone know how can i have more energy for my magick after those tiring work days..?
I would appreciate any tips.

It sounds deceptively simple and unrelated, but try regular cardio and stamina training. Physical, Mental, and Spiritual energy are all related, and keeping up with all three is important.

Bodhidharma came from India during the Tang Dynasty, and after visiting the imperial Chinese court, he settled down in the Shaolin Monastery. He found that the monks were weak and were falling asleep during meditation just as you are. He instituted a series of exercises for the monks to build up their strength and endurance which evolved into the Shaolin Gungfu of today. But cardio training will work too.

Well I assume you've have considerable experience with your practices so I would also assume you ground yourself regularly. This is important if you are working with energy manipulation. Which that in itself could be the problem. Maybe consider setting aside any non-essential practices for a time and see if that affects. Or consider altering the ones to currently do.

For me personally what really affects my energy levels are depression and the amount of sleep I get. I can't help the depression. I can deal with it though. And the sleep I just do my best to make sure I get as much as I need each night. Aside from that other mundane causes could be your diet. If you eat lots of greesy or sugary foods, that might affect you. Then if you consume large amounts of caffiene I would deffinately tapper off that as much as possible. Of course it may simply be the work you do. The majority of stress people get outside their home lives comes from their work. Factor in your levels of anxiety to do your job affectively and consider if that is not also affecting you.

Aside from that my only suggestion would be to check yourself for a parasite. If you have been under stress, reduced sleep and such, then you may be vulnerable to an astral parasite.

Thank you so much everyone..
Those were helpful tips. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Two things come to mind:

One and a good possibility. You just started a new job. This is often more exhausting then we realize, for all kinds of reasons, but mostly psychological. This can last some time. It should become less so as you get more comfortable with what you are doing in the new job.

The other is that at times we are achieving a new level in our spiritual work and just before we do stuff like this can happen. The BODY isn't too interested in this stuff, it is an animal and doesn't much like discipline. The body would prefer you were asleep, and it has as much gratification as possible. It will do what you describe. For a year at least when I would sit to meditate my head would get blocked up and I could not breath. It would happen the instant I would sit. I just had to be persistent. Once I broke through it never happened again that was over 30 yrs ago.

Anyway points to consider. I would say it is most likely the first point.

Maybe both...My new Job is draining,i am doing a great effort to fit in and stuff like that,i am constantly evaluated by my manager,this is a burden actually,plus the spiritual point you mentioned.

However, the good news i have neen able to do some rituals.
Yesterday I evoked Hermes,and done the middle pillar and LBRP.
and i havent fell asleep,i just couldnt see the white light its mostly black..
any reason why this happens..?

You might still be stressed out or simply have too much astral gunk lying around to be able to see the white light clearly. Try banishing your living space, doing a good magical/astral cleansing, and filling the place with positive energy. Yeah, it sounds really new agey and fluffy, but it works.

People forget that they need to keep their astral space clean like they keep their physical space clean. The two go together and one affects the other, sometimes dramatically.

You are quite right
Thank you dark mage
I appreciate it.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I know this topic is a couple of months old ... but i'm sure this is a common problem so i figure why not keep posting.

I really like the suggestions given so far relating to getting some form of regular exercise, that is something i have been working into my routine so as to build up more physical stamina, with great results.

However, with that being said, sometimes i will draw upon the spiritual energy to give myself a boost when i am feeling low physically. I kept myself awake many a time driving home doing that.

energy is dead right now (sept 15 2008) - look for more at exquinox - like being unplugged, says the energy alert (http://www.whatsuponplanetearth.com/latest.htm), and i agree with it

some are using these doldrums to sieze power and reconstruct

stock market in the graveyard

global elites vying for control of the credit leveraging and who gets what when creaming off the credit heap

two hurricanes driven (imoho) to attack the oilfields - hurricane ike was supposed to hit 9/11, but its a natural thing and failed to move as predicted

once again we are attacked by our own elites

i'm going back to my video game - it may have crazy rules about who does what, and occur in a complete fantasy world, but it makes far more sense than the real world right now

screw the bastards

esoterica,
i totally believe what you said about the hurricanes,somebody must have invented weather control devices or powerful magick,the global elite are definitly behind most of the major crisis happening today,they have discovered the key to power,and use it to enslave and drain the rest of the population.
its a mess..
the world is going loco...
anyhow.. thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

MADNESS.... MAN has ot to use amgic in order to f%*! up as he has done LOL whe i was a kid we had one meter snow this time now the flowers are still blooming and in order tp my calculations some years back its is only because a slight chage int the goölf stream and the global warming thinmgy lol
