Working With Your Projective and Receptive Hand In Magick
Today I wanted to go over a principle in magick and working with energy
that is important and should be incorporated into your craft, your
projective, and your receptive hand. We use our projective hand to send
or expel energy, and our receptive hand to receive energy.
So which one is which?
For the majority of you, this will be easy. Your projective hand is
the one you use most of the time. For example, if you are right-handed,
your right hand is your projective hand and is the one you use to send
energy. If you are left-handed, your left hand would be your projective
hand. If you are able to use both hands equally, you want to spend
some time sensing the energy in your hands and determine which one you
feel more comfortable using to send energy.
So what are some examples of how we would use this?
A great example of how this works is charging a gemstone. Let’s say
you want to charge your quartz crystal on the next full moon. You would
stand outside under the Moon. Hold the quartz crystal in your
projective hand. Use your receptive hand to draw the energy of the Moon
into your hand, down your arm, through your body, down your projective
arm, through your projective hand, to charge the stone. Make sense?
Examples of Projective Hand Activities
Most of us are healers in some capacity, while you may find you
naturally work with both hands during healing, you should be
concentrating on sending that energy with your right hand and receiving
it with your left. Whenever you wish to charge items you are working
with, always hold them in your right hand, for you are adding energy to
them. Anytime you are adding your energy, or universal energy to an
object to work with it, use your right hand.
Examples of Receptive Hand Activities
If you want to sense the energy of something you wish to work with,
you would hold it in your receptive hand to get an accurate feel for it.
During meditation, try holding your left hand with the palm up to
facilitate receiving energy, as this is one of the many places you will
receive energy. If you wish to receive energy from someone, you would
join your left hand with theirs to exchange that energy.
I hope this helps!
