You can unintentionally cause yourself harm or others around you if you are filled with negativity, anger or bad intentions in general, when generating your energy ball. As these emotions will be projected into your ball, especially if you are using your ball for healing, it will have the opposite effect. So please bear this in mind.
If you are new to this, it may be better to do this when no-one is around you, as you may inadvertently pull energy from someone close by, depleting them of their energy levels. Even if experienced, unless someone has given specific permission to share their energy with you (and even then, they should be experienced) do not attempt it. Certainly do not take it knowingly, without their permission, no matter what path one follows, this would be unacceptable behaviour.
After you have finished and closed down, take half an hour of time to recover, drink some water, sit down and recoup, before carrying on with your day.
Now we have all that out of the way, let's get going with how to generate your energy ball.
Firstly, clear your head of all thoughts and calm the mind, this can be done through meditation or perhaps a breathing exercise may help.
Stand with your feet shoulder length apart, with your back completely straight. Relax and take in a deep breath through your nose, as you are inhaling imagine that air swirling round your mind, clearing your thoughts and negativity, then exhale them out of your mouth, feeling it draining out of your body, paying particular attention to your abdomen. Do this a few times, there is no set number of times, you will instinctively know when you have expelled all your negative energy and calmed your mind. This exercise will help you become more centred, enabling mental clarity.
Now to ground and protect yourself; Everyone is different how they ground, using different methods and ways. Here is one way for you to try.
Imagine sliver streams of energy coming out of your feet and rooting themselves into the ground shooting down into the Earth core, sucking up energy through your streams and up into your body and into your
abdomen. Now open your crown chakra and draw in energy from the universe bringing it through your roof down into your body and into your abdomen, feel it swirl and mix with the Earth’s energy. At the same time visualise the universal energy also surround you full in an aura of sparkling white light. In your mind's eye visualise the energy streams within you, mixing together, with the protective aura all around you. Your mind is calm, clear of thoughts and ready.
Let's begin...
Bring both hands out in front of you, with your palms facing each other. Clap them together three or four times and then briskly rub them together for about 20 seconds or so, or until they feel warm and tingly. By doing this you are opening the energy portals or chakras that are located in your palms.
Now separate your palms about an inch apart, feel the energy between them.
Visualise some of the swirling energy in your abdomen flow up through your body and down both your arms into your hands and out of your palms, as you are doing so, let your hands expand out about a foot allowing the energy to grow.
See the energy mix together from both palms and bring your hands in again so they are about an inch apart, then pull your hands apart again to start to mould your ball.
Repeat this process a few times, you should begin to feel a build up of energy, with a slight resistance, like 2 magnets repelling each other.
If you feel the energy start to fade, pull your hands nearer to each other again. Keep going till you feel you are holding the energy between your hands.
Start to mould the energy into a ball shape by cupping it.
Move it around to compact it, till you can feel and visualise it as a stable (which is important when programming) structure of energy.
You now have your ball of energy.
