What Is a Miasm?
Miasms are group energy patterns in a family system that are hard to get rid of. They are brown spots in the red field that surrounds your body, as a cross-stitch pattern in your field (63). Miasms are interlocked in your energy field and have pulsing threads. It keeps you bound in a pattern you cannot get rid of easily except by asking for healing from the Divine. Miasms are a part of energetic anatomy if you hang on to it, though. The miasm comes from an ancestor who was involved in a tragic event that occurred in the remote past.

How to Deal with Rising Sea Levels
Rising sea levels will happen within the next 20 years regardless of whether you believe in climate change or not. A solution to this problem is to build fleets of submarines and tankers designed to harvest the water. We could desalinate it, sending it to dry corners of the world. We have to do something with all that water to prevent it from contributing to rising sea levels. Yes, the scientists give us dire warnings, but have any think tanks sat around while figuring out solutions to this problem?

Gemstone Elixirs
I used to be the very anti-medication sort of person that I rant about on here. Vaccines are bad for you, etc. I know something of gemstone elixirs, give or take the way I have used them in the past. Gemstone elixirs can be stored indefinitely as making them is claimed to be easy. Some stones can actually have poisons in their actual substance that makes up the stone itself. Quartz is said to amplify the charges you are trying to imbue with the water. You need to use dark-colored glasses in brown or blue to put the gemstones in while you are making the water so you can actually drink it.

The De Anza Paralegal Program
As far as this program goes, I’m looking at all my options to get a better paying job and how to get there. I know I have to get into the technical writing program, for example. I also have paralegal studies printed out by now, which I’m looking at because I want to figure out how long it will take me to complete. I need at least 48 units and classes I can transfer to UCLA when the time comes. I’m busy trying to figure out the stuff I need to learn, and I have to enroll in online English 1A and 1B. I have other interests, besides, in the field of student government, drawing, martial arts, speech, and more art classes.

Stress: Where Does It Come From?
Stress is a term coined by Hans Selye who was a prominent feature in the book, Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers, which I read in the last couple years of living by myself. Physical stress makes people look ill. Selye is one I need to read more of since he pioneered the field of stress management. I was under so much stress in high school anyway, with no idea how to manage it. Stress can make one over eat while being overwhelmed with their anxious feelings. There are three stages of stress, such as stage one, an alarm reaction that leads to fight or flight, taking energy from the immune system, causing illness.

Stress Management
Stress can be cured by not indulging in nicotine, caffeine, or alcohol. I was a functional alcoholic for years before I decided to quit drinking altogether. This helped a lot, including my use of medications. To this day, I do not touch alcohol. Stress generally causes those who suffer from it to feel tense or wound up from the anxiety that stress can cause. Exercise can help improve your mood, at least 30 minutes a day can help. I don’t know much about relaxing my muscles either, which I need to do more along with feeling my feelings. I’m trying to do that whole, eat enough protein thing too.

Intrinsic Magick
Intrinsic magick is my personal favorite, and also runs in my family as you do not need to use tools for this sort of magickal act. Amber K states that you use magick when you use your “mind, body, voice, will, energy field, and emotions” (174), to create a change in reality. The Witch’s Pyramid is all about “imagination, will, silence, faith, love, and knowledge." You can use the mind, to imagine possibilities as well as increase focus. Senses allow us to feel or see the energies available to us that can make changes in our reality.

Weather Magick During Fire Season in California
Weather magick has been used in California to make the storms come and take care of the Camp Fire blazing inferno, which had started on November 8 but has now been contained on November 25th, 2018. There has been destruction left in its wake. I have been troubled during this fire since I live in San Jose, surrounded by dry hills that could very well light up someday. The fire had burned 240 square miles, destroying a lot of Paradise, California in one day. Those of us who practice witchcraft have tried to make sure the fire didn’t get too out of control since some of us no doubt brought the rain.

Healing with Gemstones
At the expense of shooting myself in the foot, I will say that gemstones are not a substitute for medication, a doctor’s care, or insulin. Gemstone healing is merely a funny aside for me, although it is an interest I have as well. Some people believe that gemstones have healing properties when you put them on your body or hold them in your hand. Black tourmaline has helped me bounce other people’s negativity off my energy field, at least that experience made me see there is something to this gemstone business after all. And some say that it “takes a conscious effort to open your heart and mind to the power of crystal healing.” Source.

A Word to Anti-Western Medicine People
The only tool I have to control anything is my medication. Every skill has to be tied into emotion. The second my emotions escape my control, I manifest my abilities in extreme ways. We all know that in the real world we have to maintain a cover, as well as hide our abilities in general. Using it on some people can outright scare the poor things to death. I worry about having any friends at all because I’m wondering how they will take my abilities. Around other pagans, I feel somewhat safe. Somehow my abilities have been a constant source of paranoia for me.

What Is Chi?
Chi is the life force that permeates every living thing on this planet. Chi saturates everything, just like the Force in Star Wars. Prana is another Sanskrit term for this life force. When you practice yoga, you are moving the energy in your body to an end, such as holding the pose. If you stop breathing or breath in an off way, you lose the pose and fall over. Yoga is a discipline that helps you still your thoughts like water in a pond. One minute the water is chaotic, the next minute the water has found a way to stop rippling.

How Qigong Helped Me in the Past
I learned about Chow Qigong from Dr. Chow herself as I ran into a flier at San Francisco State on campus. Qigong is about having an energy system in the body flowing from one meridian to the next like ley lines on our planet. The Qi or Chi inside the body is a system by itself as much as the central nervous system is interconnected. Emotional distress can cause major Qi imbalances such as when a person is exposed to constant stress or bickering on the part of someone else. Hormones can also cause a Qi imbalance as most illness causes a Qi problem. The Chow system integrates acupuncture, acupressure, massage, and body work with visualization. Dr. Chow also uses touch therapy, counseling, as well as plenty of other therapeutic techniques.
