Mana Control – Understanding Blocks
Our mind is open and flexible, our breath is deep and rhythmic, and we feel spacious in our body. When we are in flow, we hold a healthy balance between expansion and contraction, and activation (doing) and receptivity (being/allowing). We allow our reason (thinking), emotion (feeling) and will (doing), to work in partnership with each other. We have faith in ourselves and in the process, and we find ourselves appropriately undefended. We call this being in energetic integrity.
When our belief system is fixed and unyielding, our ability to adapt is blocked, and your mana is blocked. When we lack faith in our abilities, that blocks your ability to will your mana to flow effectively, your spells will fizzle and your ability to perform is stifled. Stagnation begets death, while the form is one of patterns and consistency, there is enough room for fluid creativity. That feeling, that mana of creation is what drive your ability to even wield mana in the first place.
Thoughts are forms of mana. Become aware of your thinking. Start with your first thought of the day and go from there. Make a list. Notice your word choice and where your thinking feels fixed (this is how it is) or flexible (this is how it could be).
Throughout the course of your day, just stop. Close your eyes. Go inward and feel into where you are. Do you feel present? What is the nature of your breath? Are you holding it? How do you feel in your body? Restricted? Relaxed? Tired and collapsed? Awake and alive?
Move. Move your body. Different parts at a time. What happens when you move? Notice if any thoughts or feelings come up. Are there certain parts of your body that when energized by movement, stir something up in you? Do you feel you need to contain your mana or do you let yourself move?
