Thanks do not cover this

I sit in my office unable to work and then I remember I used to come here to the babelith. I decided to come back, to see hwo you all were, to try and find some hope in my hopeless thoughts.

Thank you, all of you. You have reinforced my belief that somehow, we still are somewhat good, as naive as that sounds. And that this isn't the end of the world, just the beginning of something new.

You have restored my faith and in doing so, I say a word for all of you.

These words cannot convey how I feel. You have saved me from the depths of a despair and worry. When I get negative again, I will imagine all of you, using your thoughts and magic to try and make this all a little bit more good.

And please, if anyone can teach me how to use these sigils and keep these energy going, I'm open.

Truth. Thank you, all of you.

On Energy 101:

BREATH... we as humans barely utilise our capacity to process oxygen. Simple excorsise:

Breath in for say 4 seconds... 1...2...3...4

Hold that breath for 8 seconds...

Exhale for 12 seconds...

it's a 1x2x3 ratio, you could work your way up to 10-20-30 seconds whatever.

Do it 3 times then return to normal breathing. Make it a habit and your capacity to do this will grow dramaticly...

you can also associate it with REALLY GOOD thoughts... the kind that always make you smile & feel confidant. Eventually just the act of a deep breath will trigger all sorts of good things...

Try it... let me know.

It worked for me. It has continued to.

What else can I do? How else can I help and spread this positive energy?

Live it. Smile. It spreads quite readily, if you trust and pass it on.

The greatest power this technique has is that it synergises... Show it to someone who's distressed... do it with them.

I've had whole rooms do this sort of thing together, syncrinized, with astounding results.

If you want to maximise it.. especially in a group try some body/hand movements like so:

Stand upright... shake out limbs before begining.

Start with arms lowered, palms facing upward horizontial with fingertips touching... almost cupping one's groin.

While inhailing rase both palms upward to aline with neck area.

While holding breath rais palms past face... they'll have to rotate so you can briefly see your palm, and continue raising them until your arms are stretched straight up and your palms are still horizontally facing up fingertips still souching.

Upon exhaling create a sort of circle by having each palm follow a circular path outwards so that at the halfway point your arms are stretched out and each palm is facing either left or right & fingertips are pointing upward... then continue the circle which should end at the starting point with your arms at your side, palms facing up & fingertips touching...

OKay everyone ready?

give it a try...

for an extra boost after you've got the hand/arm motions coridinated with your breath you could rise to your tippy-toes when your arms are stretched up... then drop down onto your heels with a very slight "thump" as your hands flick into their "start" position...

injoy...

Here's an exercize that you might like to try. It's especially good for women but it works well for all genders.

Squat down like a frog, hands and feet on the floor but not your bum. Relax. Take deep, slow breaths. As you breath in, imagine energy flowing into you from the earth below. Up throught the floor... into your hands and feet... travelling up your limbs... up your spine... into the crown of your head. You are charged with power.

Exhale. As you do so, imagine that you are returning the energy to the earth. With it go all the negative feelings that beset you at this time. You are grounded and cleansed.

Repeat for at least four breaths. The good thing about this one is that you can do it in a confined space, like a toilet cubicle, so it's do-able at work.
