Life Force

What is life? This may seem like an obvious Question because we can easily distinguish between something living from something dead. There is a mystery here, however, which can give you access to paranormal energy.

Some people believe that there is a detectable life force, perhaps created by living beings or maybe giving life to animate matter. Whatever this force is it can be felt with practice and once you are aware of it, you can use it in many beneficial way.

Nobody is certain what the life force is exactly but various theories abound. For instance, some people are convinced that it is natural energy, created by physics and biology of evolution; a natural result of life on Earth. Others say that energy comes from a higher power and is a form of soul energy which gives life to humans, animals and plants.

However, it doesn’t really matter which opinion you subscribe to because all that is necessary in order to appreciate and use the life force, is that you are open to the idea of its existence. If you find this concept difficult to grasp, think of those occasions when you have felt fully alive and at one with nature. Sometimes these feelings only last for a few moments, at other they can last for days and days.

You may have found yourself feeling that nature was truly alive around you, not necessarily sentient but somehow giving off an energy that made you feel good. At other times it may even have made you feel nervous or overwhelmed.

You may have felt this same force when surrounded by people, too. It is more difficult to recognise the force in people because there are so many other emotions and moods that can influence your feelings, yet it is still there.

Exercises

Try to recall times when you have been aware of this life force. If nothing springs readily to your mind, your senses may need opening up more with the following exercises. If you do recall times when you felt the life force, understand them for what they were; at the time you may have dismissed your sensations as imagination or a good mood. Understand now that you were in touch with a primal and beautiful source of life.

The best way to detect the life force is to observe nature calmly, without trying too hard to sense its presence. If you try and try to detect what is there, you may frustrate your efforts. It’s like trying to look at dim stars: if you stare straight at them, they disappear; you need to look just to the side, using the move sensitive part of your retina.

The same is true of the life force; mentally, you should look to the side . In practice this means that you should observe passively, allowing your senses to be true rather than trying to force and appreciation. If you try too hard you may simply become annoyed or irritated, so that your time and observe nature in a relaxed way.

Wherever you live, go for a walk and look for things that are living and growing as well as things that are dead and decaying. Even if you live in a city this shouldn’t be too difficult, there are threes, plants and animals practically everywhere.

At this stage all you are trying to do is detect whether something is growing vigourously or whether it is past its peak, dying, dead or decaying. Don’t try to sense the force directly, just observe the plants and animals around you, decide what state they are in.

Sometimes this is obvious, as with a young sapling or a pile of rotten leaves. In other cases it might not be so clear as with an Autumnal tree; part of which is alive and well, other parts dying and falling away.

You don’t have to spend too long with this exercise. Ten minutes is enough, but you may find that you enjoy it and immediately feel more aware of the life around you. If so, that is fine but be aware that actually detecting the life force is essentially a paranormal experience.

Surprise

As such, when it comes, it may be quite a surprise. Try not to be too shocked because the paranormal often retreats when you are too surprised. You shouldn’t exactly take things for granted but should be prepared for the strange and accept this as a normal part of the universe.

Be aware that things which are hidden can be seen when you allow them to come into view. With this in mind you can progress to the next stage.

You should now become aware of any emotions that come to light when observing nature. Again, don’t try to force anything. If you try to generate emotions in a desperate ‘make it work’ mindset, you will delude yourself. Again, passive observation is required, of both nature and yourself.

This isn’t as difficult as it may sound because everything we look at creates some sort of emotion in us. For instance, if you look at a packet of cigarettes this might create various emotions such as desire, anger or nostalgia. All objects have this capacity to affect us. Usually, this emotional effect is created by our own memories and associations.

It’s the same as smelling a perfume that you haven’t smelt for a long time and recalling an exact emotion from years before. Everything we can see can create an emotional response, even if only a small one. The key to detecting the life force is to observe and be aware of any emotions you experience.

With nature, there is also a chance that your memory and association will create some response. If you see a rowan tree, for instance, this might hold poignant memories for you. If so, be aware of them, then put them aside. You are looking for a purer, less personal emotion. Go for a walk, perhaps the same you have practised your exercises on, and observe nature, observe your emotions,

If you are relaxed and open to this idea, you will find that in time you begin to detect two distinct emotional responses. One for matter that is living and vigourous, the other for matter which is dying, dead or decaying. Once you become aware of them, they will feel quite obvious to you.

The most important point that you don’t try to create theses feelings but allow them to arise gradually and they will be genuine. If you follow these simple instructions, in time you will become aware of these emotions. Living matter will have an emotion that might remind you of a cool, Spring sunset. Decaying or dead matter will feel more like night, perhaps like starlight.

Sensations

Most observers believe that sensations are caused by different aspects of the life force. It isn’t that one energy is dead and the other alive; both are the life force, doing different jobs. Decaying matter is simply preparing to become alive again in other forms. Recognising this cycle can be an uplifting experiencer in itself.

For some people, sensing these emotional states is all there is to detecting the life force. For others, it can become more visual and they find that observing life produces definite haloes and patterns around or over creatures and plants. Some people actually see the life force.

There is no technique to be learnt, expect to observe nature the intention of seeing its life force. Do this and you find a level of appreciation that suits you, the individual.

So, once aware of the life force, how can you use it? You will probably find that, simple as it sounds, being aware of the life force improves your enjoyment of life. It makes you realise just how alive and mysterious the universe is.

Often, we think of the universe as mechanical and cold, peopled by organic machines, without meaning. Such thinking is destructive and damages all occult and psychic work. By becoming more aware of the life force you will find your own flashes of psychic insight and occult workings will be empowered.

You can also try to use the life force in healing, magic and other psychic practices. The secret is to be aware of the life force and to allow it to flow through you. If you try to steal it or hoard it, very little will happen. But if you become aware of it and let it pass through you as you work, your results should be improved.

Many forms of magic try to create an intense atmosphere, but inside the home it is difficult to generate primal, intense feelings. As anybody who has practised a ritual out of doors knows, nature is automatically an empowering force.

Performing even the simplest magic outside is an energising experience far more intense than achieved indoors. Once you are aware of the life force, this power can become even more significant.

Whatever the true nature of; life force, you can detect it in your own way, allow it into your life and use it to improve your psychic abilities.
