[Opinion] What does it feel like when you absorb energy around you? (In your experience)

[floss]

I believe when we intent to absorb energy, we are like a radio that channel a particular style of energy.

I highly doubt we can actually absorb "neutral" energy. We absorb energy that comes a source and we flavor it with our intent.

My experience is.

Air elemental power makes me feel like i'm Peter Pan. I'm floating in my room and some for object around it. Laughing noise are around. Smell of daisies/lavender. Feeling of spring wind.

Water elemental power is like being underwater (lol) to me. It smells like rose/jasmin. It feels like letting go. My room is like drowned, bubbles comes on the surface.

Fire elemental power in my experience feels like become a giant/a dragon/a dragon slayer (yeah both sides, depends on the intent) it exploded my room. I'm powerful. I hold a sword. Smell and taste of pepper.

Earth is like being in mine. With crystals/gold all around. Roots all over my body, dirt and diamonds mix together. My room is heavy. I have the taste of dirt in my mouth.

Akasha is like being in a church with grass all around. The roof explods and a shinning light comes from above. Smells of frankincense.

When it comes to a feeling, i base on which element makes me think of the intent (not necessary through correspondances) but common sense.

If i want to refresh my mind/spirit, i will think of "being fresh". I will focus on a meadow, clean drying clothes, smell of soap.... And i will see the energy swirling around me as huge bubbles. It's clearly a mix of water and air elemental power

This is beautiful!

Well I don't know much about energy absorption, but I made a luck siphon talisman a while ago when I had bought some black opal on a whim. I bought the stone, then searched my books for a decent enchantment... I couldn't find anything, so I searched online and black opal is traditionally rather unlucky. I wanted to use this, so I gave it a ritual enchantment using a neutral spirit and the weight of the object changed.

From there, I started carrying it around, and somehow I was able to keep my bank account up much higher than it was prior, I had some good conversations, made some good catches when dropping stuff... But people around me were miserable. My boss got in a car wreck, my friend lost his job, and my roommate burned his dinner all within a week. It was a series of negative synchronicity for others, but for myself I was doing pretty okay!

When my coworker's cat died though I gave it up. I only had it for about two weeks on my person, so I dispelled the enchantment and repurposed the stone to be in a nice necklace for my fiancee and she's been wearing it since. Our lives have been pretty normal since (aside from the workings I've had with entities that we use to influence our fate, I could go on...)

So how's it feel? To be honest, not very fair.
