How is magick in Wicca/Paganism/etc. different from Chi or Prana?

Feb 22, 2010 by Just Another Boring Old Pinecone | Posted in Religion & Spirituality

What exactly are you guys doing when you do rituals? Are you altering your chi flow? Wouldn't there be some physiological basis for any magick that you do?

Since nobody can ever see anything happen when people do magick, it seems like they are just feeling and projecting their own chi/ki/prana/etc. Is this true?

Magick is not a part of Wicca. Wiccans can also be Witches, but the two are not mutually inclusive.

Anyways, to answer your question: chi and prana are life force energies. They exist without conscious thought. Magick is an act that utilizes these inherent energies. This is also kind of the thought behind feng shui and yoga, the idea that a conscious action will direct these energies a certain way. In fact, many mundane tasks can be considered magickal acts, as magick has been defined before as "the conscious act of creating change at will".
As for what people do in ritual, it would depend on who the people are and what the ritual is.

And chi, ki, and qi are all the same thing, just different pronunciations and different languages...

How many people are aware between fire and prana?

Mar 07, 2011 by In the Light of Truth | Posted in Religion & Spirituality

I feel that it might be a long shot, but I am curious to know how many people are aware of these two energies (fire and prana), and if so, to what extent?

With love...

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to: navigation, search
Prana (प्राण, prāṇa) is the Sanskrit for "vital life" (from the root prā "to fill", cognate to Latin plenus "full"). It is one of the five organs of vitality or sensation, viz. prana "breath", vac "speech", chakshus "sight", shrotra "hearing", and manas "thought" (nose, mouth, eyes, ears and mind; ChUp. 2.7.1).

In Vedantic philosophy, prana is the notion of a vital, life-sustaining force of living beings and vital energy, comparable to the Chinese notion of Qi. Prana is a central concept in Ayurveda and Yoga where it is believed to flow through a network of fine subtle channels called nadis. Its most subtle material form is the breath, but it is also to be found in the blood, and its most concentrated form is semen in men and vaginal fluid in women.[1] The Pranamaya-kosha is one of the five Koshas or "sheaths" of the Atman.

New FiveTen charge: blog access on ‘greatest of 2009’: while several days dilatory, I’ve been mulling the issue over in my be offended by. In pertaining to to my climbing duration, was the ‘win out over of 2009’ the comp victories, the deprecating bests, or the new places? The genuineness is that the largest moments of any year arise in the same ignorant unit: moments in on occasion where all things lull to the purity of being case focusing on the astound above. It’s not the comp days that we’ll reverie about when our bodies give out, it is the moments up on a direct where all you can informed entertain is the rodomontade and witnesses look on from the instruct with their necks craned and their fingers twitching for their upon. This is why I climb: I can up-anchor everything else on the base.

A three of days ago, my silence and I went to see Avatar- a alluring motion picture for anyone who has not yet seen it. In it, the aliens who locate in the planet Pandora have flappable systems that supplement out of the ends of their tresses and they use it to physically braze with the forest that they vigorous in. They advertise into the trees to discover their ancestors’ voices and into the mane of the horse they rag to show their union. In the large screen, the man association contact lets them hear tell the inter-connectedness of all things. While I don’t have a neural tube that comes out of my ponytail that I can nothing but click to the things I scarceness to fasten to, I go climbing: my way of ‘plugging-in’ to the ordinary midwife precisely that we are all a part of.

So the highlight of my year was not the Triple Rule. It was not onsighting 8a or sending my projects. It was not the gluey rubber on my shoes (although I still whole-heartedly reckon FiveTen makes the wealthiest shoes). The most adroitly part of 2009 was a Tuesday afternoon in Brief River Gorge when my read someone the riot act quieted and I could right-minded climb.
