mana replenishment techniques..

[lorax]

Hey folks..

I have been giving energy to a lot of people in the last month. It has tought me to heal with the white light. Each day after healing someone I feel kind of drained a bit. I feel eating high-chi food helps to replenish my mana. Walking in the woods also seems to have effect on my mana supply. Do any others have any recommendations for mana replenishment techniques?

peace & white light to everyone

I don't know, but I have often heard that healing actually can replenish your supply. Many healers actually feels invigorated after healing. Perhaps you are using your own supply instead of being a channel for it?

You guys are talking about some RPG game? What is mana? (other than the food the Jewish god was sending to his people in the old testament)

mana is the force of life flowing through one and everything surrounding one.. like chi.. i would almost say it is probably one and the same. but being an old RPG player i like to use the term mana. when mana is high i feel very refreshed and very happy almost like i have too much energy in my body which must be put into something. mana is like the souls power supply. there is body food and there is soul food. i also have read recently that there is food which is high in chi and food which is low in chi. i try to stick with the high chi stuff and it seems to make me much more alert. i feel much lighter and my mood is way better.

What force? What does it do? What does it control what does it interact with? What evidence is there for its existence?

I would guess that "mana" in lorax' terms is the equivalent of psychological endurance? Not a force or anything like that, but just a measure of psychological and mental capacity.

I can understand how one can be mentally tired (termed here as loss of mana) or mentally "charged" like after a few hours of good sleep or a good cup of coffee/tea/cocoa/cola/mate/etc

But I wouldn't personally use the term "mana". Unless there's something more to that which I'm missing.

Surely a community which uses entheogens understands that there are things that remain outside of science.

I believe shamans can do some crazy shit... for example I believe they can really "fly" and see far away people or objects.

They can also channel energy like Lorax is saying...

Things may remain outside of science but I think science will be able to prove most things especially things that we can be aware of. There may be laws of the universe that science or our logic is unable to describe but I don't believe in magic and spiritual stuff, but that is me, I don't think people who do are stupid, I just value science and see its utility in obtaining answers to our observations.

Lorax another way to replenish your chi, energy or what you like to call your mana , is to meditate or do yoga ive found personally both work wonders. Something else i personally use is to immerse myself in water any kind of water, for me replenishes my energy, especially the sea. I'm not sure why exactly yet but i think it has something to do with when i was born, my element is water so maybe that has something to do with it.
There's nothing more compassionate than to heal others that's for sure.

Much Peace

Mana is the concept of an impersonal force or quality that resides in people, animals, and inanimate objects. The concept is common to many Oceanic languages, including Melanesian, Polynesian, and Micronesian.

water ;; big ups for Water (the Life Force itself) for the restoration of mana. Passive Creative Channeling; i.e. doodling, fiddling with a musical instrument, simply letting your Muse stretch a bit can do wonders as well. Also plugs for yoga, chi work, and meditation fer sure.

namaste, lorax; the ships in the harbor appreciate the light house in you.

Water not only cleanses your physical body but also your astral or light body and fills you up with light. That's one reason you feel so good and refreshed after a shower. For me water is a holy substance.

And there are many meditation techniques that focus on replenishing your chi or prana, mana or what ever you want to call it.

That's what I needed for my ethnology exam on monday

Beside that I know of no way to stack up mana. I envy you for you capability to work with it. How did you learn it ?

Absorb the light of the Stars and Moon..

Inhale mists and eat clouds...

This is what the ancient Taoist did.
