I pull energy from the core of my being. I have no better way of explaining it than that. It's kind of like a state of mind exercise. All I can say is that I allow my paradigm to allow for it. I almost never use my chakras. I have them developed ever so slightly, but I'm not great with using them.
The question I have is: Do you pull energy from your chakras, your environment, or from somewhere or something else?
Truly it depends. I live on the fringe of portland, if I need to make a shield I usually draw from the city itself and because I've grown up here it's a very easy energy to manipulate for me (I'm 'rooted' here.) Sometimes I will go to the club and jack into the party atmosphere and power a sigil I've been working on, sometimes I will pull on a specific god(dess) to aid me in times of need.
