Physically Weak from Performing Too Many Candle Intentions!

[LadyOfTheTrees]

I think I have performed too many candle intentions/spells in too short of a time and it's drained me of all my Pranic energy - terribly. Today I slept a good 20 hours! Does anyone have any advice on re-igniting that part of us that produces Nwyfre/Prana/Chi for the body?

Just a few thoughts:

* Are there any intentions that might form a continuous drain on your energy? If so, either end them or redirect them in way that the energy is no longer taken from you.

* Ask yourself: Why did you give so much of yourself, or why did you not realise you where overtaxing your energy?

* After ritual, the best practise is disconnecting with any draining energies, grounding, eating enough, getting fresh air, and getting rest. Just taking good care of yourself might be enough.

* Meditating in nature, and refueling yourself with the abundant energy there might also help. If you can't go out, connect in visualisation with a natural place or your inner grove.

* Light physical exercise (yoga, tai chi) will also help your body reignite the inner furnaces...

Rest. Your body's already given you that signal, lol.

Intention magic I suppose it's like planting seeds. You only need to plant a seed once, then after that just tend it and watch it grow.

Sometimes we can get stuck a bit, in the imaginative and creative world of magic and spirituality. One of the key advices in the bardic grade is to take things with a pinch of salt and use common sense. And that might mean stepping back a bit, perhaps only temporary to get a better and more balanced overview.
The mind is a powerful tool to change perception, which also makes it slightly risky, and it sounds to me that you may have been overdoing all the 'spiritual stuff' a bit.

The solution could be simple. Perhaps it is good to step back from it a bit and instead spend more time in the real physical world to regain some balance?
You could think of it as 'grounding' or strengthening 'nwyfre' or some other spiritual term, but perhaps it is better to just forget all that spiritual-speak for now and simply do it. Go into the woods, to the beach, feel the breeze and the sun, or the rain. Hike, dance, run, make love, get your hands dirty.
Make a good meal, watch a science documentary, have an intelligent discussion with friends (about anything but spirituality).
Engage in real life as fully as possible, that is the way to increase nwyfre, if I understood it correctly.

I agree with all of the above. Also, I'm wondering why you needed to do magic to bring about your intentions rather than using a practical, non-magical method? I tend to think magic works best when all other avenues have been explored.

Dealing with situations in practical ways may not seem as exciting as lighting a candle, but it's probably better for your health and well being in the long run.

Thanks for all the support and suggestions.
I'm feeling better now, too

Might I carefully suggest the book "Fool's Crow: Wisdom and Power" available all over the place used. It helped me to learn how to let the energy flow through me as a "hollow bone" rather than in a more taxing way. Just a thought. Blessings, Aigeann.
