THE Triforce OF AN EFFECTIVE METAPHYSICAL PRACTICE
Based on my own life experiences and study these are the keys to an effective and powerful metaphysics-enhanced life.
In my experience, you can’t succeed in metaphysics without a firm awareness and interaction of these three focal points.
Healing : Resolving inner conflict through ‘healing’ your own emotional wounds, for your own inner peace and healthier relations. Healing is the art of making peace with, and unifying conflicted aspects of self, essentially removing judgment, reducing victimhood, increasing self-responsibility for your human experience and increasing inner peace.
Intuition : Opening, trusting and continuing to develop your intuition for self and others. Being able to develop your own self-guidance system and deeper, intimate connection with others.
Energy Consciousness : Experiencing your own ability to influence your reality and serve others through energy work, through thought, feeling, intention, and the acceptance that our thoughts truly are ‘actions’ that have impact on shaping our reality.
That’s the summary. Need elaboration? Read on…
A triangular spiral. A perfect visual for the developmental model I share here.
‘Shadow Work’ AKA NERVE SYSTEM capacity EXPANSION
When we do deep personal emotional healing, we make room to feel more nuances and details in our sensory channels.
Many of us can recognize the feeling of guilt, but how many can recognize the feeling of anxious guilt? Or guilt from a place of knowing you have petty feelings toward someone? Or guilt from surviving an awful war-time incident when others didn’t (survivor’s guilt).
Feeling those nuances matter when we are exploring to serve others. How can we tune in to someone’s state, empathize and ‘read’ them if we can’t be in those spaces of discomfort?
How can we read their state accurately if we lack depth of recognition in the emotional space? Sensitivity is one thing but to be able to read the depth of those sensed messages and impulses, even when experiencing your own discomfort is a whole new level.
And imagine being a manager or project lead and everything around you is in chaos but you’re there fully connected and able to be with it and the freak-outs of others, rather than cope and disassociate.
Imagine being with a partner or child who is absolutely losing their marbles and you can be their rock and feel in it, and at peace; with the bonus that you’ll be a healing presence for their nerves as well.
This is one of the many, valuable, important benefits of doing the inner personal efforts of healing from trauma, and re-coding and expanding the capacity of your nerve(ous) system.

OPENING AND TRUSTING INTUITION
When we do deep personal work, we also find ourselves getting more ‘pings’ from our intuition.
This is an important phase of self-development, as it means you are at a level of sensitivity and inner clarity to be able to decipher such pings. Often times we call out ‘my gut’ or ‘I have a feeling’ without further articulation. And often spontaneously rather than called-in on demand.
These are the door openers for intuitive messages that can flower into profound messages of help for you and others, or even predictions and visions of what is to come.
When we do start to trust our intuition at deeper, even crazier moments, we open up parts of ourselves that can invite rapid and unexpected transformation.
Following these breadcrumbs can lead to experiences of being able to predict and see events before they happen, and hear the thoughts of others. Sometimes, it can activate potent energetic experiences that can rival psychedelics.
It’s different for everyone. However, one thread connecting all experiences, is once you start to listen to the intuitive breadcrumbs, life rapidly improves and intensifies, synchronicities become more the norm than not, and your life will be night and day different.
How can we truly empathize and see through the eyes of a family member or romantic partner who means the world to us? Intuition and deep awareness of one’s emotions - particularly in clair-empathy - can enable this powerfully.
If your intuition expands to that new baseline and beyond, you can enhance day to day life by reading what your partner’s body desires for food, when the rain is coming or going, or what is going on with your friend’s pets. Sometimes I’ll even read the energy of a friend’s business. However, I draw the line at predicting what will happen in a movie.
I get to enjoy this stuff regularly as an enhancement to my human experience, and I thoroughly recommend it.
If I could visualize what ‘feeling’ the world around me felt like, this would be pretty close.
EXPERIENCING YOUR POWER THROUGH ENERGY WORK, AKA MAGIC(K)
Magick is the spelling of ritual magic(k), to distinguish it from stage magic, believed to be credited to Alaister Crowley.
Ritual magic(k) is the crafting of non-physical energy toward initiating an outcome in physical reality.
Ritual magic, is energy work.
Energy work at a high level of efficacy requires an ability to distinguish one flavor of energy from another. Everyone I train is first taught to do it through using their physical body like a map, in alignment with clair-empathy and clair-sentience.*
*I also include the other clairs if they light up, but I prefer to build foundations in an analog data-driven clair-sense - clair-empathy with a body map - to build confidence.
To be able to perform traditional energy work, someone develops - or is guided - into an atunement to particular types of healing energy.
To go beyond healing and into manifestations - even temporary ones - the building and cultivating of energy and the recognizing of subtle flavors and textures of energy are critical foundations to dial in.
This is why both deep personal healing work and intuition are essential co-operative elements in the triforce of effective magical practice.
The healing expands what you can feel.
The intuition utilizes the expansion on all levels of service to self and others.
The magick / energy work benefits from a grander library of energies and discernment you’re able to draw from, or work with to a successful end.
This is why all three pieces are a part of most of my programs and courses, whether they’re group or private.
Evoking my videogame dev history, here’s the Triforce per Legend of Zelda - one piece for Power, Wisdom and Courage. Not the same as my Triforce, which I would argue is way better and useful.
If any of this calls to you, and you want to leap into it with both feet, guided by someone who’s done it, grab a free consultation with me, or just go for it and join the next Magick AF program which will build you into one hell of a metaphysical / shamanic practitioner.
