Connecting to your energies

I want to make it known that this is not hippy-dippy bullshit. I'm a very down-to-earth person, so this is not nonsense. It is very true. Just over 10 years ago, I discovered I had a deep connection with the earth. Before I realized we are really of two elemental energies, I became very rigid and was frequently stuck in these ruts. It took me 7 years to figure it out. In 2010, I took Qigong classes. I learned about chi energy. It has been a long time since I practiced those exercises. I know that I should start learning those again.

You can determine which energies you are by holding your hand above a source such as a rock, crystal, flame, smoldering coals, a plant, a bowl of water, ice, the wind, a vent, a fan, etc. See if you can feel an intense force of energy course through you. Which makes you feel most alive? What do you feel in sync with? You can get yourself to the point of slightly manipulating a small source. It is extremely subtle though. That story about the man who can ignite fires with his chi is likely a myth. It would be dangerous if we had a more significant amount of control over an elemental energy.

I did something with a crystal and a small rock. I held my finger towards it by about an inch and ever so slowly made it touch the tip of my finger with my chi. I don't move my hand at all. I can even make a video to show you that this exists, but I'm not going to show off. I practiced it with a burning candle. I held my hand close to the flame and slightly moved my hand and the flame leaned in the direction of my hand as I slowly moved it around the candle. When I hold both my hands on each side of the flame, the flame either moves more erratically and dribbles or slightly shakes.

The flame is slightly taller and stiller as I hold the palm of my hand well above it. Be careful with this experiment because you could end up burning your hand. I also use that small source of immense heat to warm up my core temperature. People who are connected to water may be able to absorb moisture more quickly and cool down fast(drinking water and other fluids except alcohol is known to cool us down). Perhaps they can place their finger next to a droplet of water and get it to touch their flesh. If they put their hand in an ice chest, ice and droplets could stick and run its way up their fingers. Of course, don't have your hand in the ice for too long. You can also practice that with snow depending on where you are and what time of the year it is.

One who is connected to air can stand near a fan or an open window and have a small waft of air blow around them. They can also have their hands and arms in front of a fan or other source blowing air and can guide it in an intended direction or around them. I imagine they are excellent at deep breathing and blowing at bigger distances, thus perhaps holding their breath the longest. If you figure out where your sources of energy are and practice this and don't see results right away, don't be discouraged. You just have to connect more thoroughly.
