Path of The Guardian-The Weave

The Weave is one of the more interesting projects that myself and others have put together over the years.

A result of a Facebook collaboration with 7 other people in 2006, The Weave is designed to help, to expand knowledge of energies and other skills, to help healing of all kinds and to help bring people closer.

What it is, is a connecting of all energy pathways all over the world, and through the galaxy and beyond. It's a combination of taking Ley Lines(Energy lines that run along the earth) and Power lines that run through the universe itself. It bypasses religious lines by being pure energy and by intertwining all holy places, all places of hope, all places that people feel hope to be at - to be accessed by all with no discrimination, with a focus on hope, love, peace and unity.

Accessing it, and working with it...you need to talk about a core principal of energy: Sensitivity, something I've been lackluster in talking about, but it needs to be talked about before I go any further.

Sensitivity to energy, to emotions, to all things beyond the 6 senses, is a gift of sorts, a part of the pathway that we have to take, in order to see beyond the living world and into the reality behind the reality(essentially the picture INside and ARound the picture). What happens...is opening up your world, and letting yourself sense things like: the flower's energy, hearing music deeply and unbound until you feel like you're living the music, really feeling the emotions of others when you talk to them and hug them-getting to the point where you totally understand them, and seeing beyond the images and masks of life...and seeing what is really there.

The Weave-and energy-takes advantage of that sensitivity and works with you to help you harness it, to work with it, to become friends with it, and to use your senses to help guide you through life.

How it was conceived of, was an understanding of energy at it's purest form-love-and letting it flow around the world, and connecting with all of the energy pathways, from churches to holy places to cities to oceans to shipwrecks to the earth's core, to the living things in and on this earth. The connections that we found...and found out about...were incredible and opened our eyes in a big way.

We found a connectivity between everything...that everything has a need to not only survive and fulfill it's function...but that life in it's very purest energy form...is love...and light and hope...and that's caught us...and let us look beyond just our own skills and look deep into the power of love and life.

Accessing the weave is simple...once you are in a meditation-like state, let all of your senses explore the area around you(do this every day in the morning, you'll find it really helps), and feel the energy bands around you. Initially using a church(having an open-minded pastor helps), a forest or somewhere you feel comfortable will be helpful, but eventually you'll be able to do it from anywhere, and everywhere...and feel the energy and the light flow through you daily. This connection allows for greater focus, greater exchange of knowledge-both esoteric/magical and real-and greater peace within yourself.

It will feel weird initially, feel odd since it's something you're not used to, and it will feel as if you're being lifted off your feet and yet still be on the ground. It will feel as if electricity surrounds you and yet is within you, It will feel all those and more...as you feel yourself tied into many others like yourself, and feel your spirit grow more and more, and become more vibrant to yourself and others. The impact on people around you...and on your life once you start to use it day to day will be multifold...you'll start seeing why things happen the way they do, you'll start to see how things evolve, you'll start to smile more, you'll start to see love evolve more...

The Weave is only the beginning of the pathway that is the Guardian, it's a tool that is used day by day, and you become a part of it, a deep part of it, and you carry it with you, sharing that positive energy with everyone...and letting things come more than just full circle, you break the cycle altogether and start anew :-)

Just a side note: When accessing the weave, it's also helpful to stay grounded, because initially it will be overwhelming. Once you get more and more used to it, it will make more sense, and what life was and what life is, will seem like night and day :-)

Next up: How to deal with this day to day, some of the dangers of energy use, and what it is to call yourself Guardian :-)

Path of The Guardian-Energy Application

Good Morning my followers :-)

Next step-Energy Application, day to day use and other things

Energy Application is fairly easy, but you do have to be open minded to be able to approach it, much less do anything. If you're stressed, under duress, feel threatened or anything like that when you first start, you may have some more...interesting results...including headaches, sleepiness and other side effects, so please be careful.

As I mentioned in the last blog, The Aura is the energy field that surrounds you that it's believed comes from the heart(as an EM field) and the soul(as a part of the personality). To use it, think about Reiki, and about Laying on Hands healing-this is the first real application.

A few exercises:

Grounding-Helping yourself to feel destrained and destressed(and others), it may be necessary to balance the energy field, and that takes Grounding(think lightning strike or electricity that goes to ground or gets grounded).
Procedure: Take your hands and/or feet and plant them on the ground(this even works laying down), doing square breathing(count to 4 as you're inhaling, hold for 4 counts, exhale for 4 counts and hold for 4 counts, and repeat, slowly lowering your breathing rate), imagining that every piece of negative energy/stress is melting away from you and going down to the ground, letting go of everything that you have built up over the course of the day/weeks/years if needed.
This process helps A TON, and if you're with someone, what you're doing is tapping into them-or them tapping into you (touching them) and letting their/your own negativity flow from their/your body, using your/their body as a conduit(feel the energy/direct it through your legs to ground, DO NOT let it come up to your mind-that can cause a lot of bad energy effects and keep your mind clear) and letting everything melt away.

Grounding can be found in a lot of different things. Some examples of normal 'grounding' activities: Hugging, Kissing, Holding, Playing Sports, Writing, Drawing...anything that truly lets your stress go...but it's a lot more effective if you have your feet planted on the floor...that makes a huge difference, and you'll feel it!

Day to day use of energy is also different...but a few side notes before I go any further:

1-You're opening up a part of you that a large portion of society has forgotten or buried, and there may be some readjustment time, where you feel out of sorts and out of focus. Don't worry about it, it will readjust itself in time, as your newfound energy awareness draws friends close and you feel more and more in tune with not only life, but your own inner being.

2-ANY use of drugs(illegal or prescription) can throw your energy field unless you're used to them, Illegal drugs will do even more damage(I DO NOT RECOMMEND THEM!)...and alcohol and smoking can also throw you. I stopped smoking years ago and drink one drink a week at best, and it's a good balance for me, but you need to find your own balance. Be VERY AWARE of this!! It's critical that you find your own balance and your own harmony.

3-Stress can effect how everything goes, and can effect how you use energy on a day to day basis...this can really throw awareness for a loop and throw what you're trying to do. If you're in a high-stress environment much, get out at least once a day and ground and then energize yourself...it makes a big difference :-)

4-Emotion of a positive nature will enhance your learning and your energy. As a general rule, love and hope of any kind will help a huge amount, and helps you to live a lot better, that plus it also increases your mental 'muscles' and helps you to go further.

Ok, lets get back to some fun stuff :-)

Energy...it's hard to explain without going sci-fi on people, but for me...it's the greater 'stuff' of the universe. As I've mentioned before, Dogs and pets can see and it and feel it. So the question is? Is how do we????

My experience is, is as I've mentioned before...is the Aura. The Aura can come in a ton of different colors and shapes, but normally, it's about 2-4(or bigger) inches away from the body, and does a few things-1)Helps others feel and see how you're feeling 2)Allows for yourself to stretch beyond the aura(auric projection-the ability and talent to put energy in a different place, my experiments with that have allowed me to go huge distances-you just need to try it out yourself). 3)Allows you to see more than what you would-you know how you can see things more...closely, more in tune color wise or hear things better? Its your energy being tuned...being refined, being more sensitized to things around you.

On that last point, there are a few things to note: 1-Auric Projection and 2-Tuning the Aura.
Let's go with the first one first:

1-Auric Projection: Definition: The ability to project energy to someone else, whether it be in the same room or across the galaxy(theoretically), normally used to project healing, protection, and energy to recharge.
Technique? Best way to do it is through emotion...you think strongly about protecting someone and then feel the energy going to them as if it's a shield...a barrier to protect them in some way shape or form. Same thing is done with healing and energy...you just put the emotion behind it, and then send it off :-)

2-Tuning the Aura: The Aura is a bubble...but one I've found that responds to music in a ton of different ways, and can be healed very quickly by it. From my life, I was in a bad relationship, got out of it, and then was on my own...was introduced to Barbershop Music(4-part harmony to those who don't know it is), and through both singing and being a part of the chorus...ended up healing me to the point where it's now a daily part of my life, both music and barbershop, and keeps healing those wounds.
Tuning the aura is as easy as finding the right song or right music that makes sense to your mood...and uplifting yourself...and then taking that emotion and running with it...it'll effect everyone around you from your pets to your boss, tuning their energy by the same token.

WHEW! We've covered a ton of information here already...but there is more, lots more to come.

Homework: Try out some of the things I've recommended here, PLUS, a few books:
1-Scott Cunningham: Earth, Air, Fire, Water-THE BEST author for elemental magic(where I started), and it gives you a solid background on what I'll cover somewhat in the future
2-Ted Andrews: The Healer's Manual-One of the books I HIGHLY reccomend for healers, it's an amazing resource that I've used and still have.

Any questions? ASK! I'm always here for that :-)

Path of The Guardian-Energy Basics

The basics of the Path is Energy, one of the most plentiful and visual aspects of this plane of existence.

As has been told famously by Cesar Milan, Dogs see everything as energy. The irony is? most people don't....and doing so blocks a part of us that would normally allow us to see well beyond what we would normally, and explore something that we are quite natural in seeing and feeling.

Myself, I learned from experimentation, no real teaching or learning, but I did have some inspiration. I was watching a show when I was in my early teens about the monks and about focus and how they did things, and learned that it was focus of energy. So, being a kid, I tried it out...and tried to do what they did, meditating, focussing, and trying to be at peace with myself...and do the kung-fu kind of thing...which resulted in many, many bruised hands, but finally a few broken pieces of wood :-)

The experimentation over the years turned into studies in Shamanism, Druidry, Wicca, Black and Dark arts, Reiki and others - but I never forgot my true focus...energy, how it works, and how it is produced. Ironically it led me to AD&D, specifically The Complete Psionics Handbook, a copy I still have, and was the basis for a lot of my theories about how things work. Through school, studies in psych, electricity and neurology(I was a true nerd lol), led me to how things work electrically, and with all the info swirling in my head like a Class 5 Hurricane, I started living a life of energy.

Now how this experience applies here, is that energy is all around us. It's usage within this more around-us context leads itself to skills like: Laying on Hands Healing, Auric healing, enhanced awareness and so on.
Like electricity, it has a mind of it's own, and there are a few rules you have to abide by, which, in most cases, I learned the hard way.

1. Energy is a living thing: Energy has a mind of it's own, and you need to respect that, and make sure that if you do something, you stay aware of how you're using it...respect it!

2. The amount of energy that you put out will not always come back to you: As with anything else, there is loss...and with the example of Laying On Hands healing...you're healing the aura(I'll cover that in a sec), and the energy put out by you doesn't always directly heal, but helps to do other things related to the healing process.

3. The intent or emotion that you use with energy, will effect how it works: Like with The Secret, how you feel about something, effects how it works. Pure energy is the same way, and you have to be aware of how you feel when you use it, because the reactions and the benefits or consequences-whichever it is-will effect how things go, and as with the 7-fold rule-will come back to you depending on this one simple piece.

and 4. Be careful not to burn yourself out: Energy can be tiring...and you need to watch how you use it, and how often you use it. Burnout is common if you overdo it, and that can cause other effects including illness and injury, so BE CAREFUL!!!

The question is: how do you use it?

Answer: Think of your energy like a bubble-it surrounds you and flows in and through you. This energy can be used to help, to heal, to protect, to love, to send good wishes, to focus, to save your life(I am not kidding about this) and other things. A more common name for it is the Aura.

That bubble is elastic in nature, and stretches accordingly when you move, feel, ect. Ever feel as if someone is closer to you then they really are? Like when you can feel someone right behind you and they're still about 2-3 feet behind or when you are walking beside someone and you just feel something, something that's beyond body language? That's your Aura interacting with others. When you can feel a touch so very deeply and yet still be a ton of distance away from that person? That's their energy projecting to you to make you feel better, to feel more in tune, to help you heal, and they can(usually) feel the thank you right back as you're feeling/thinking it.

Confused? lol I would be too, just try these few experiments and you'll see what I mean.

Have a friend hold 2 hands around your hand like this: with the brackets being yours and the line, theirs - { | } , making sure that their 2 hands are about 6-8 inches(10-12cm) from their hands . From there, turn your 2 hands around slowly and keep the center hand steady, you may feel a tingling or a light burning, a coldness or even want to take your hand away. That's feeling their energy, and it can get interesting and fun sometimes.

An experiment you can do, is to look at someone, not stare at them, but just glance at them with a thought of hope in your mind and smile. Do this on the street, in your own home, at work, on the phone, and you'll see how fast people and even animals react to you in a positive way.

An important note: When doing these exercises and exploring energy, keep in mind to stay positive. My experience is that negative energy will come back to you hard and fast and do more harm than you need. Staying positive and loving will give the best results out of this and let you explore further and deeper than if done otherwise.

Next: I'll do more in depth with energy and how it works on a day-to-day basis, and what other things to look for and what I discovered over the years.

Path of The Guardian-Beginnings

The Path of The Guardian is one of interest, of using mental capacity still unheard of...but upmost on the list....The Path is one of faith and of Hope and Love.....of seeing the planet and the universe for what it is-Energy and emotion-and seeing where life takes you by embracing this...and yet...being able to question it at every turn and truly understand what's going on around you...

It's one of Psionics, of seeing the world through ways that most people ignore...to see the real color in the trees, feel the music in the air...and listen to what's really being said...and to practice it every day! and know that you're a part of something much greater, much bigger....

I submit to thee-a path that doesn't involve religion, that respects all faiths both great and small, doesn't care about color of skin or gender or sexual orientation, that allows you to live your life without interruption, that allows your life to continue on what it is...but realise this as well-your life will never be the same once you embrace this-and your life will change once you get further into the path....

My name is Lady Arriannis, your teacher and friend in this path, and a practioner of this very path for over 20 years...I've seen a lot of things in my life...have dropped off the path, have gotten back on it, have explored life in ways I never thought possible...and have found parts of myself, of others, have healed, have led, have been led, have been healed....and have found life to be an amazing pathway....

Over the course of the next blogs...I'll explore why the path is so important to me, what I can impart to you, and tell you what I've found out, what I know, and what you can do within your own lives to experience what I have, and see your own uniqueness, your own path, develop and see beyond what you can :-)

So let's explore this path and explore life together...and as Jean-Luc Picard said at the first STNG episode: "Let's See What's Out There...ENGAGE!"
