Magick teaches that we never use our own energy to effect change, because doing so would eventually deplete our system. Instead, we use energy taken in from the infinite Source by using breathwork and visualization. This is a simple exercise for helping to nourish our entire energy system with fresh energy and remove energetic blockages.

• Take a comfortable position.
• Close your eyes and focus your attention on the center of your chest—right about where your heart is.
• Envision a twelve-inch sphere of gold light glowing brilliantly in the center of your chest. It encompasses both your heart and your solar plexus, a perfect balance of love and power. This is the primary energy center we will be working with throughout this book.
• Inhale slowly three times, each time envisioning the gold sphere in your chest growing brighter and brighter. Each time you exhale the air goes out—but the chi you have inhaled stays in the golden sphere.
• After the third inhalation, envision the energy you’ve been inhaling and holding in the gold sphere radiating out of the sphere and spreading out through your body and aura. Imagine that it feels like very warm, golden lava as it spreads through you.
• Don’t worry if you can’t “see” the sphere. Start out by just imagining it as best as you can. Everyone “visualizes” in their own way. You may feel the energy more than see it in your mind’s eye, for example. This doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong.
• Repeat this process three times upon arising from bed each morning for more energy and clarity as you go through your day.
