Magic Monday

[ecosophia]

It's midnight, so we can proceed with a new Magic Monday. Ask me anything about occultism and I'll do my best to answer it. Any question received by midnight Monday Eastern time will get an answer. (Any question received after then will not get an answer, and will likely just be deleted.) If you're in a hurry, or suspect you may be the 143,916th person to ask a question, please check out the very rough version 1.0 of The Magic Monday FAQ here.

I've had several people ask about tipping me for answers here, and though I certainly don't require that I won't turn it down. You can use the button above to access my online tip jar. If you're interested in political and economic astrology, or simply prefer to use a subscription service to support your favorite authors, you can find my Patreon page here and my SubscribeStar page here. 

 

I've also had quite a few people over the years ask me where they should buy my books, and here's the answer. Bookshop.org is an alternative online bookstore that supports local bookstores and authors, which a certain other gargantuan corporation doesn't, and I now have a shop there, which you can check out here. Please consider patronizing it if you'd like to purchase any of my books online. 

And don't forget to look up your Pangalactic New Age Soul Signature at CosmicOom.com.

With that said, have at it!

***This Magic Monday is now closed. See you next week!***

***Ahem. People have continued to try to post questions, despite the post being closed. I have deleted these. Follow-up comments to existing questions are fine, but other than that, please save it until the next Magic Monday.***

Energy work for depression

[(Anonymous)]

Dear JMG,

I was wondering whether you had any recommendations for energy work, Eastern or Western, for moving out negative / stagnant energy, in this case centered around the jaw, throat, and shoulders, accompanied by mental fog, a "noisy but blank" feeling, stemming from childhood issues of not being able to "talk back" and separate from an overbearing mother and religious environment?

My current routine is LBRP twice a day, Liber Resh, scotch showers, Qi Gong: 15 mins standing meditation, tapping, 8 brocades, 6 healing sounds, bone marrow cleansing, breathing in qi from the sun, trees, dipper, and moon (3 days up to full). I'm planning to switch to LIRP/LBRP & add in the LRH.

I've also been seeing an acupuncturist to drain energy downward, and trying to focus on relaxing in daily life & breathing & acting from intention more rather than continually "trying to think" while journaling, which I realize makes things worse.

In fact, things have gotten a lot better. I had a major health scare around the New Moon in Pisces and set intentions to be purified and healed, and spent the month taking hoodoo baths like they were going out of style, being hypnotized by fellow hypnotherapy students / self-hypnosis, and generally trying everything I could think of. Actually not only did the health scare clear up completely, but my energy and outlook are much improved, and in the last few days I seem to have gotten some impressionistic glimpses of "what I'm supposed to be doing with life".

But it's still there...

All buzzed up by the Aries New Moon! Happy Monday!

It sounds to me as though you're already doing what you need to do. It takes a while to clear things like this away!
