Need A Boost Options

So, I have another favor to ask of the occult community at large.

I have made leaps and bounds from where I was at years ago, but it just isn't quite where I expected to be. I was hoping that you all could throw in some ideas for maximizing my current potential, such as rituals, mantras, circles, incense, a time and place to maximize my spiritual power, etc.

If you're not getting what I'm getting at, I'm saying I need something, no matter the time consumption, to allow me to see FULLY where I'm at.

Also, I generally test my power by concentrating energy between my hands. So any rituals or circles or mantras which you feel do wonders for spiritual "conductivity" or however you would go about saying it.

That is not a very good test, and by that I mean, you will reach a limit with that endeavor which ultimately will not reflect your energetic maturity. Though spiritual maturity and energetic maturity often come with one another on some level, they are independent of one another.

One thing to look at energetically is your health. What are your negative habits, what kind of positive changes have you made - have you had the instinct to make positive health changes, and have you followed them? A by product of increased, as you say, 'conductivity' is that the free-er flow of energy will encourage your body towards better health. This does not mean super healing - it means, you begin to naturally live a healthier lifestyle because your body begins acclimate to a better energetic state. This becomes nearly effortless, though it does require that you follow the instincts that arise in your body.

How long can you remain motionless? Internally more so than externally, but both. The longer this is possible for you, the greater the control you display over your mind - and this follows to greater control of your energy. How long can you maintain a single pointed attention without wandering? Do you have fluctuating moods? Are you at the behest of emotions, or are you able to engage the ones you choose to? This is a measure of the progress of your mind.

How often does your faith waiver? I don't mean religion - I mean your connection to a spiritual world of some sort. This is a measure of the health of your spirit.

To what degree are you able to receive inspiration at will? This is one way to estimate the alignment of the spirit and the mind.

How are your reflexes, your ability to copy physical movements that you observe? If you want your body to do something, can you do it? This is a good measure of the mind-body connection.

There are many facets to this kind of progression. I mention these kinds because you specifically - historically as far as I have observed you, that is - seem to be about energy work, and all these elements play into that kind of work. They can be developed independently to a degree, although they will be limited if developed in isolation. The more developed you are in both the individual parts, and the connections between them, the more they will all be able to advance.

The problem with testing 'how much energy' you can generate between your hands is that over time you are not necessarily able to conduct a higher frequency of energy - you may just be more sensitive and so subjectively feel that there is 'more' energy there. Developing sensitivity is good too though, so any apparent progress there is positive. It just isn't indicative of advancement overall.

As far as ordeals which will improve you overall, the best ways require a great deal of discipline and commitment. There are no shortcuts. Spend 40 days without speaking. Remove yourself from society for even a weekend and spend this time meditating in the wilderness. Make a pilgrimage, by foot if you are able, to some local spiritual place even if you do not necessarily follow that spiritual path. Create a ritual fetische by hand, make it complicated, and require that you work very fine details. Give yourself a specific restricted time frame to finish it to perfection. Phylacterys can be made, there are a million ways to do them, as an energy worker you may like this approach. It must be an object of beauty representative of your spirit - as you see it, or as you discover it in the process - wherein some of your blood is kept.

You may enter a period of intense and directed challenge - undergo some physical challenge, whether that's running a marathon or engaging in some other competition. Shave your head and face entirely. Wear something inappropriate in public and learn to control your embarrassment. I do not mean a naughty t-shirt, I mean a kilt or some such. Push your limits to gain greater control over yourself.

The dichotomy of energy manipulation is control and surrender. You must have absolute control over yourself in every aspect - the more absolute, the more energy you will be able to wield. You must be able to surrender absolutely - the more absolute your surrender, the more completely you will be able to access the Source.

I hope this encourages some inspired ideas.
