First of all, let's assume that wishing for more wishes does not work, because I feel like that would be cheating on this question.
Secondly, let us also assume that the genie can only grant me wishes that concern my own personal life more than anything else. Because obviously, if genies were a real thing, I would feel obligated to wish for world peace and for an end to human suffering. Of course I would use my last wish to make it possible for every single human, no, every single being in this universe which has at least the cognitive and emotional capacity of humanity, to freely pursue their own happiness, without being restricted by material needs, hunger, war, illness, and anything like that.
But the only thing that such an answer to this question teaches me about myself is that I'm not entirely selfish, and maybe that I enjoy eating meat, considering that I excluded animals from my wishes (which I, in fact, did because I was afraid that too many drastic changes might create an imbalance to this world that causes something "bad" even after I've removed human suffering. Forgive me, animals).
No, I feel like for the sake of self-reflection I should be thinking about my three biggest selfish wishes, about three very concrete and factual aspects of my own personal life that I would like to change. Not only that, I need three aspects of my life where I'm currently feeling unhappy, but the only thing that matters to me is that something is being changed. That already cancels out most of my possible wishes. I could never wish for a successful master's degree, a fitter body, a sharper mind or more adept social skills - because I believe that along my journey to get those things, much else is to be learned as well. If I took a shortcut to get there with just a wish... I would surely miss out on a lot that life has to offer. I want that kind of change to come of myself, of my own hard work - because if I instantly was exactly who I want to be some day, I wouldn't have much to do with my life anymore. I wouldn't have a direction to go, projects to pursue, and hopes to grow.
And I don't want my wishes to infringe the freedom of other people, either. Of course I could wish that my crush likes me back, or that people always find me highly attractive, or anything like that. But I feel like it would be very morally incorrect to force other people into certain opinions just for my own, selfish sake.
No, my three hypothetical wishes need to be less drastic. Simple quality-of-life improvements that take away nothing from the journey that life is usually supposed to be. First of all, I would wish for all food to be equally nourishing - I would very much enjoy being able to eat cakes, fast food, a shit ton of cheese and maybe some more fast food every day without feeling horribly fatigued, messed up and kind of heavy the next day. My second wish would be the ability to manifest warmth and light with my hands, so that I can always softly guide myself if I get lost in the dark, and warm myself if I get stuck in the cold. If that light had the power to heal the people who are close to me, I wouldn't say no, either. Last but not least, I would use my third wish to find out whether my crush likes me back or not. While this sounds like a dumb and silly wish at first - there are plenty of other ways to find that out, after all -, I do have my reasons for this one. He is one of my best friends, a very caring and empathetic person - and if he knew about my feelings but did not feel the same as me, he would probably feel my suffering as if it was his own. That's why I can't just directly go and find out what he thinks about me, I would never want him to share my suffering. On the other hand, I know that this whole love-feelings-thing is holding me back at the moment, and that I need to work through this first before I can really continue to develop in other areas. That's why knowing the truth without directly getting my crush himself involved seems so attractive to me. Yes, maybe it would be a slight waste of my last wish, but it's a sacrifice that I'd be willing to make.
And now let's hope that the genie is genuine and not one of those tricksters that turn your every single wish around.

My Wish.
There is only one thing I wish for and that is for my ex and I to get back together. I know I know the label isn't the best but I still love him. I can go from...

Interesting. I can grant you your second wish but you'll have to do the work.
I would say to look into reiki, as it is the same notion of warmth and can be used to heal. But, not all reiki teachers really know what they are talking about. So instead, I'm going to guide you through the process of doing it.
First, take a seat. Place your hands about 2 feet apart from each other, palms facing inward.
Close your eyes and try to feel all the energy around you. From your toes to your head. Focus on that energy and imagine watching it move down from your shoulders and up through your chest, flowing into your arms.
Watch it flow down both arms and into your hands.
Now, start slightly pushing your hands towards on another. Maybe a half of an inch or so. Then move them away by the same amount.
Take a deep breath and continue to do this. You should begin to feel a sort of magnetic field in between your hands. You may even feel like your palms become hot. That's because they literally are hot.
Do this often and practice. When the time comes that someone you love is experiencing some sort of pain, arthritis, cramps, sprains, headaches, muscle aches, nothing that would require any sort of medical treatment.
When treating someone with this energy, hold your dominate hand over the affected area. Do NOT place your hand directly on them. Hover your hand about 3 or 4 inches away from the area and imagine that same magnetic force as a pulse.
Imagine your energy penetrating them to find the source of pain. When you get used to it, you'll begin to notice that the energy knows where to go. But that takes a lot of experience to get the hand of.
Now, move your hand very slowly. Half inch towards, half inch away. Breathe deeply when doing this and as you move down, imagine that pulse pushes deeper. When you move your hand up, imagine extracting very small amounts of that pain.
The other person may experience dizziness or vertigo so be careful to make sure they are ok. They may even feel nausea.
What they should feel, is a radiating heat from your hand and they should be able to feel your energy inside their body.
Be careful when using this, as it can be extremely draining for you. You can even take on their pain in your own body and unfortunately, you can't use your own energy to treat that.
But that's how you get those warm hands and even use it to help others. As far as light is concerned, I guess you could invest in a pocket chain flashlight.
ReplyYou seem to know a lot about energy work and spirituality! I don't think that I could find appropriate words to express how grateful for your input I am feeling right now.
Anyway: I'm familiar with a similar technique to what you described, but... when I found out about that, something weird happened to me: I was immediately able to create the magnetic field, and thus, enthusiastic about my progress, I spent the entire day creating energy fields and sending energy out around me. It felt a lot more natural and came easier to me than the online guide made it seem. Then, however, the next day I was sick with fever and my body was very weak. I was unable to produce any magnetic field at all... And from that day forward, I'm experiencing a lot of trouble regarding energy work.
All of that happened about four years ago, but today I still find it quite hard to feel or move energy, especially inside of my own body. To be fair, I got caught up in mainstream "materialistic life" and didn't practice regularly, but still.
I'd very much like to get deeper into spirituality and to learn the process you described, and more, but I'm finding it hard to find reliable sources on these matters online.
Do you have recommendations? And ideas as to how I, a total beginner in spiritual matters, can judge whether somebody is just a fraud or knows what they're talking about?
ReplyThe quickest way to know someone is a fraud is they make outlandish claims. Like you could say, go super saiyan or something lol. Or that you can heal severe stuff like broken bones or cancer. Or they just talk a ton of nonsense.
I have learned this all on my own, I never had any sort of teacher, so it's a tad difficult to really put into words.
From the sounds of it, you may have spent too much energy, I'm taking it that this event occurred some time ago?
One thing I can say, and this is going to sound really weird but try to get your hands cold. Stick them ice water or something for a short time, just enough to really feel the cold. Or if it's cold outside, that is even better. Just don't get frostbite.
I don't know what it is about the cold, but it can be a dampener and I'm not really sure, but the running theory is that you either spent yours or it just hasn't recharged.
Anyway, while your hands are cold, try doing the same process as I described before. Allow your mind to float in your thoughts, don't hold onto the idea. Let it go.
As your hands begin to heat up, it should create a natural feeling of warmth. You can add to this my sitting in front of a fire or a heater and feel your body soak up that energy.
This part can be a bit fun, you can do this with a single candle or flame.
Once you're starting to feel the warmth again, try to use that pulse on the flame. Try to imagine dancing with it. Breathe in with the fire and breathe out.
You can also try this with Crystal's, but I don't personally recommend it. It can be hard to connect to a crystal and the amount of energy is nowhere near the same.
I choose fire because fire represents the absolute power of life and creation. Left to it's own devices, it becomes destructive and fierce, but guided, it can create and enhance life.
When dancing with a flame, take your index finger and bend it towards the flame, using that pulse. The flame should dance with you. You push, it pulls. You pull, it pushes.
Just don't get all crazy and start trying to firebend or something. We don't have that amount of energy. And of course, obviously, be cautious when using a flame. Make sure you've got water or a fire extinguisher on hand. Never let the flame grow so big that you can't dance with it anymore.
Use common sense, don't try to touch the flame or anything. You can bring your hands in to feel it's warmth, but don't go holding your hand over the flame or running your fingers through it. Respect the flame and it will respect you.
