When my son was a boy, my husband would form an energy ball, add a color, and pass it to my son asking him what color it was (mostly as a visualization and sensing exercise); then my son would change the color and pass it back to his Dad. They got quite good at communicating this way.
Not only is this helpful for low energy (i have mental health problems too) but as a busy parent I don't want to feel I'm cramming in my craft but blending it with my life. Thanks again!
Hey Ivy, I've heard of something similar to what you described as "World Building", but it's a bit different. There's this practice in Chinese culture where people enter a "temple/home of their soul". In the "temple/home", there are usually rooms you can adjust (and some people mention spirits/guides of some sort being there as well). Each room corresponds to an area in your life. It's like your "eternal home", a place you can return to throughout all your lifetimes. You can make changes to this place that will affect the physical reality you manifest. E.g. some make adjustments to certain areas to help attract more money into their lives. Hope this helps!
I love this so much!!! Thank you for sharing this! I have heard of this once before but didn't know much about it. I really like the idea of a temple or home inside your mind and it definitely sounds like "World Building" to me. Thank you! 🙏❤️
I often dream few different places in a way that could be associated to this story. One place is a garden which in different dreams appears with slight differences and with me having something to do there, then other dreams there are different houses which repeat one or another house inside one dream,, then some places outside... All places that I never saw in reality, but cotinue to appear in dreams.
World building sounds a lot like the concept of a mind palace for memory, I love the idea of using it for mental power centres, I will absolutely be incorporating that into my practice now.
Exactlyt what I was thinking. I have been world-building for a little while now, didn't realize others were doing it.I have been using it create a spiritual home for the oracle spirits attached to my decks and other divination systems.
I love the idea of charging a piece of jewelry with higher energies and wearing the jewelry when you're feeling low energy. It's simple and I can see it working. I'll be trying it.
As i was listening to this is was trying to help my baby get to sleep. I paused the video and tried the energy ball technique of putting peaceful, content sleepy energy into the energy ball and then gently letting it absorb into her body and then I SWEAR she just closed her eyes and fell asleep 😊😴
I was unknowingly doing energy balls with my kids, lol. I would tell them I was making a "love ball" before they went to bed and gather my love energy into an orb with my hands and pretend that I was putting it into their body. They love it!
I really appreciate you mentioning how trauma can make it so that you can’t really practice daily. As someone struggling a lot with cptsd I struggle a lot with guilt over not doing for what what would be for others “the bare minimum”. So it’s really nice to here that affirmed. :]
Wow, I found your channel odyssey and binge watching your videos. I also live with chronic fatigue/fibromyalgia/brain injury, some days are very very hard to keep the depression enveloping one’s self.
my favourite low-energy practice is actually a result of my not-so-low energy magickal activity and that is asking my spell crafting servitor (whom i have developed a very good relationship with///and is literally a part of my subconscious i guess) to craft a spell for me: "hey [servitor], please [craft this spell]." and it has access to my correspondences, a number of "ingredients and tools" available in her own realm, and has even her own "energy source/ battery" up there where she resides in my mind!
I thought I was the only one who did the world building thing too! It is sooo powerful. Personally I work with a goddess, but every time I visit her I go to the same exact mental space, similar to what you were talking about. I also have other scenes I visit for various other purposes, like a garden that represents my wellbeing that I visit to pull weeds out of and do internal housekeeping. I vastly underestimated how powerful and how consistent these internal realms could be. My "world" is quite large, and its layout never changes, but I frequently find new places within it. It's amazing to me and I really think everyone should explore and create their own inner sanctuary.
Lovely!! I am so happy to meet someone else that does world building! I love the idea of pulling weeds out and doing internal house keeping. And yes, everyone should have their own inner sanctuary. ☺️ Your inner world sounds beautiful. Thank you for your comment, and happy Lammas!! ❤️
You mentioned tea leaf reading at 26:00 mark. My great grandmother (born 1882) used to read tea leaves for the countryside back in the 1930s. Edgar Cayce and other mystics were well known in her era and the ladies societies would invite various speakers. My great grandfather's sister was a well-known medium and people would remark on the things that she said. If you have a local historical society, you can check there and ask about groups like this that your relatives may have been interested in.
I do world building!! I have an actual honest to goodness world in my mind that attribute to all of my different emotional states. I had a dream once where a friend was lost in their mind, so I literally had to enter their world and navigate it. I was teleported to different places based on their emotions, until I found them and pulled them out. I applied the same idea to my mediations and fantasies, but I never thought of employing a more magical use of it!! Thank you!!
I know this is super late, but I Would LOVE to see a video on charming jewelry. Your witchy teaching is one of the very, very best here in YT, thank you so much for what you do!!!! #gratitude 💜💚
I literally thought about this worldbuilding today and now i see this video. I thought about creating a mental tree house. So that i can visit and heal there. Thank you for sharing this, this just pushed my idea in another universe 🙏
Hi. Im a beginner witch. I am English but live in France and so am very limited in how I can learn in my local area. Ive been watching several RUclips videos and have found a couple that i really like and identity with. Ive just found your videos. I am really liking your RUclips channel. I feel you are very good and im glad i found you. I am always looking for new ways to learn and build my knowledge and practice and i think you will be excellent to watch. I have also read a couple of books. And joined several Facebook groups. I really like the look of THE PHYSIC WITCH book you recommended. I have seen it recommended several times now and intend it to be the next one i buy. I already have started my book of shadows and have today set up my altar for the first time. I am working slowly in starting off with visualization, meditation, energy manipulation, centering, grounding and trying to build a good base for my practice. I also am trying to learn about cleansing and protection aswell. I think that they are very important too. I love the idea of world building. Its not something ive heard of before but would love to include this. It sounds a brilliant way to help. I just want to say thank you. You are exactly what i am looking for to help me learn. I have subscribed and look forward to more of your videos.
This is amazing! You are so great at explaining concepts. I enjoy that you are more "advanced", a lot of other RUclips are all, "use your intention" whereas you are like, THIS is a neat method that works for me, please use as a springboard to find your own. Can't wait to see all your videos.
This was exactly the info I needed! I have very bad health issues and it makes me a bit depressed that I can’t practice the craft like I once did, nor do I have my own home or a room just for my witching like I did for over 10 years which makes it even harder to feel connected. I will be using many of these tips :)
What an amazing video! As someone fairly low energy and just plain lazy this will be very useful. I'd also like to add for those of us that do skincare, maybe you could enchant your morning lotion or whatever you use to give you some energy.
Absolutely!! What a great idea! There are endless possibilities with glamour magick. You can enchant your clothes, your jewelry, your face wash, your makeup, pretty much anything you put on your body! It's simple, yet powerful. 😊 Also, I feel you on the "lazy" bit... Me too haha
@@IvyTheOccultist On your recommendation I picked up eastern body, western mind, not too far into it yet but I'm definitely going to get use out of this. Been feeling really unbalanced lately so thank you!
Oh I actually already did that video! 😆 It's the "Magick 101: Quick Guide to Centering, Grounding, and Directing Energy." Haha thank you soo much!!! 🖤🤗
These are all great ideas! I work long hours and I am always tired. These are beautiful, simple ,quick, positive ways to connect to Nature and All That Is....thank you!
one i like to do for air is practice some martial arts ive learnt in the past and feel how the air flows around me. you also can add your own original movement in there too.
So glad i found your channel. I take showers just the water alone helps me. Hot water mainly but sometimes use cold water or both i start hot and end with cold. I put pumkin pie spice in my coffee. It has cinnamon & other herbs. Also drink tea. Mint green tea is my go to.
Can I just say how much I love all your book recommendations! When there is so much watered down and incorrect information, it is such a relief to have a great recommendation on further reading! Thank you!!!
Aww, you’re from where I grew up and lived for a long time as an adult. I loved near Astoria Oregon. 2 years ago we moved. Anyways, I don’t know why that got me excited! I also struggle with low energy and chronic fatigue, Adhd, depression and anxiety. Thank you so much for this uplifting and inspiring video ❤
I do a version of the world building, but for me it’s looking at a giant bookshelf and each book contains the realm I want to be transported to like in the beginning of some fairytale children movies. I visualize opening the book and diving into that world.
So about world building… I just discussed this with my partner. He’s a hypnotherapist. And I described what you are doing. And He said “I use that technique in my practice. I help my clients create a safe space for different purposes. Sometimes it’s a place to store trauma where the only place they have to deal with it is when they are in that space.” And he gave some other examples too. I told him about how you use it in your magical practice and he thought that 1) it was really really cool lol And 2) it was the perfect container for doing magic when your like me and don’t people all that well 😂
I am honored that a hypnotherapist thinks my weird techniques are cool! 😂 If you give it a try, you'll have to report back and tell me how it went. I'm always curious about other people's inner temples! ❤️
@@IvyTheOccultist definitely will do. I’m currently getting my magical ducks in a row as I head into the planning portion of the new year. Sounds like some great low energy witchcraft for my season of hibernation
Thank you so much for doing what your doing Ivy! The last few years I have felt quite disconnected from it all, but watching your videos you have not only inspired me, nudged me to research new things, but also have shown me that everything I do on a day to day basis has been magical and I have just forgotten that magic it all holds! So again Thank you! And may love and kindness always walk with you!
@@IvyTheOccultist It definitely resonated. I played it on a day where I was so exhausted it felt like I had boulders on my shoulders as i went through a medical appointment and grocery shopping, etc. Lately just the idea of having any kind of daily practice seemed totally unattainable, so I really appreciate your suggestions. I need to watch this video again while I take notes.
@@greeneyedlady5580 I feel you... The exhaustion is real. And sometimes it's not even physical exhaustion, it's mental and emotional exhaustion. Sending you some love and healing energy to get through it all! 🖤🖤
this video made me realize that there are already many of these activities that I used to do or do in my day to day. I grew up in a family of curanderas and witches so all this is so natural to me, but now that I live by myself I've just forgotten or stopped doing some of these things. I am grateful that I found your video because it has not only reminded me of everything I'm able to do thanks to my family and everything they taught me, you have also named all these practices that I do daily without knowing. Thanks a lot!
when I was little, my mother used to make me imagine these wonderful spaces full of rooms with all the things I wanted right before going to bed. she would make me close my eyes while she narrated to me every scenario, we would travel through castles, boats, meadows, my job was to visualise all the things that I wanted in those spaces to make it easier for me to manifest it in my life. it's sooo cool to know now that I can use that in my practice!
@@juguitomaggie Ahhh, I love everything you said SO MUCH! I love that your mom had you visualize from a young age and I love that most of this comes natural to you!! 🖤🖤🖤 Thank you for your kindness!!
As an empathic water sign, I can vouch for the miracles of baths! I love using magnesium flakes and Dead Sea salt. Also wow, as the youngest of an a estranged family, having tea with my ancestors sounds amazing.
I developed something similar to the world building you do, and discovered it through trauma recovery. When I was a kid, I had a magical world that I was using for the stories I wrote. After some traumatic life experiences as an adult, I was meditating and came across a familiar place from that world, and started discovering parts of myself there. I can go in and take care of those locations to work on myself. It's crazy how it helps me to learn about my internal world and cause change.
Right little messages to the spirits on rocks, beautiful beautiful rocks. I usually collect them at different beaches and I do polish them. Throw them back to the ocean or place them on the beaches the rocks that I have here at my home I cannot possibly take them with me. I will throw back to the Earth where they stay surrounding my home.
Absolutely interested in charming jewellery. Thanks for an interesting video and permission to rest. ‘Busy-ness’ is not always the best thing for your soul. Learn to say no unapologetically (with a smile of course) Love and light to everyone❤️✨
I didnt know that I was doing world building but I have been unintentionally doing it for a little over a year.it is so nice to give it a name and give it more than it already is.
Another fabulous, interesting, and informative video! I've always called my special room Lindseyville. When I open the door that is hidden in a giant oak tree the ocean greets me. Beach, gentle waves, birds, sun, and no humans. When I turn my head I see a dense, cool forest with and walk up the sand hill and head down the well worn path greeting the fae along the way. Rays of sunbeams dapple the path and I stop, sit, and have a drink from a small brook and catch the fragrant honeysuckle aroma that drifts in from the meadow that beckons me through the parting trees. Wildflowers are up to my waist and lay down and watch the animal clouds drift by for a while and doze off to sleep. When I awake the moon is overhead and I walk through the meadow and onto the sandy beach again where the moonlight glistens on the waves. A fire and chair are waiting for me and spend some time being grateful for my life, the earth, the universe, and all the spirits/angels/ancestors who watch over me, protect me, and guide me on my path. I hear an owl hoot calling me back through the door in the oak tree and I walk back into reality. I love Lindseyville. It's peaceful, only the sounds of nature. Anyway! Bring on the the jewelry charms! I don't wear makeup but I love my jewelry.
I recently figured out how to turn my energy orbs into projectiles. It was such a cool moment, and I've been recreating it since. I might just film it next time I practice it.
LMBO!!! I used to play a game of "catch" with my boys using a *pretend* ball. We would throw it around like one would a regular ball. They would get into it so much, it would bounce off them, the wall, they'd miss it and go get it, just like a regular ball. Looking back, we were playing with an energy ball! Such fond memories 🥰 Another great video! And perfect timing for my low energy level.
This video and its content along with your sweet, wonderful, direct genuine delivery literally changed my life today. Thought you should know that. Such great advice to a solitary practitioner. I relate to a lot of what you talked about. I’m going to definitely be utilizing the suggestions. I hope you have a wonderful day. ❤🎉❤
I have alot of chronic pain and I just moved in February, still unpacking and getting the house in order. I don't think I've ever felt so low energy in my life. I watch videos on my many breaks from cleaning and unpacking. As I clean, cook, etc, just regular mundane tasks and chores, I try to do so with intention, to clear out negativity and overall stale, stagnent air and vibes, to stir in love and compassion into my coffee or food,. When I drink my coffe or take a break, I sit by a window and take in the sights of nature, despite the cold, snow or rain of the season. I have aphantasia, and I'm unable to visualise in my mind. I also have PMLE, an allergy to the sun. These things have really been hardships in my practice, as I can go out into nature as much as I would like. I can't visualise my intentions, etc. It makes some of these low energy things difficult for me to do as I have to try to think of new ways I can achieve the same results.
Somehow I missed this comment! I am so sorry to hear the struggles you are currently going through. And not being able to visualize does make things more difficult, but I'm really glad to know that you have found ways around that! You'll just have to connect more to your physical body which is definitely not a bad thing. 🤗🖤
This was a great list! I love the world building idea. I did a meditation I recorded myself reading from a book about my personal place of power & wrote details as well as made a map. I go there when I need to, but the thought of making other places for all different reasons is an exciting thing! I will be doing this from now on. I get excited when you put out a new video as well! I have the book you recommended in my saved list on Amazon, so I will go ahead & buy it now. Thank you as always for your time, energy & wisdom. XX
Ahh, I'm so glad that the world building concept resonated with you! I love that you recorded yourself and even created a map to your personal place of power. Those kinds of meditations are SO powerful! Props to you for recording yourself. I tried once and felt weird listening to my own voice afterwards 🤣 Also, I love that you're getting the book! 🤗❤️ Thank you for always sharing such kind words, I really appreciate it!!
The world building technique sounds a lot like creating your inner realm (I first heard this from azura dragonfaether on RUclips several years ago). I love it 😊 your video and explanation of the different rooms gave me a few ideas on how to expand my own world for the future. So far I got a beach and I'm slowly creating this world little by little. A place where I can connect and communicate with my guides and practice my visualization skills amongst other things! I don't have any separated themes but the two places I do have on my world and its map is more split into something elemental. Water and forest. Maybe I should consider building a castle close to my meadow area 🤔 create rooms for passion and energy. That would be good as I struggle with that (depression gets in the way) Thank you for your lovely video anyhow ❤️ very helpful
You already know I'm a new practitioner, but I have to say, I knew that I subbed to you for a reason. Another badass video. Thank you, so much for all that you do. You have an incredibly wonderful momentum.
Yeah, I am burnt out and my mental health issues all drain me and disrupt sleep. Medication helps but sometimes it is what it is. Thanks for the video.
First, I enjoy your videos. You are such a pleasant, uplifting person to watch and listen to. Secondly regarding your mental house, I met a world champion memorized and he said 1 of the techniques they use is called the Roman house and also, the Chinese called it the heavenly palace. The idea is to create a mental house/ palace and place very specific things in each room, just as you said. In his case it was how to memorize an entire encyclopedia. But you way is likely the original way, considering the rich history of esoteric knowledge these cultures possessed. Thank you for sharing your discovery with me. I had forgotten this discussion until you mentioned it. Blessings 😊
Ahhh, thank you so so much!!! I knew I wasn't the only one out there having these thoughts. 😆 Thank you for sharing this - it's so interesting! And I'll definitely be looking into those other labels/techniques you mentioned to see how similar they are. Thank you so much for your kind words! 🤗
You're in the PNW too?? Ahh, that's so cool!! There's actually a lot of witches here surprisingly. I think The Green Witch (on RUclips) is also in the PNW as well as some others!
Totally interested in tea leaf readings!!! I totally can identify, here. I think I slowly changed my being in bed and resting habits with the dawn of wi-fi and not having to actually be out of bed to sit at a desktop computer. So since I can stay in bed and relax, versus at a desk or on a sofa...I do. Being a night shift nurse contributes to this as well. I'm never on my sofa. LOL My bedroom is my living room lately. But I would like to be the person I was before, sometimes, and be up and at 'em.
This is just amazing. I have been watching your videos almost daily (I recently discovered you - am a beginner in magick) and i find you very eloquent. You make an amazing teacher. But this idea of imaginary (worldbuilding) rooms seems to me so so inspiring and something i definitely have to look into or build up as of now. Will keep you informed how it goes. Thanks so much for everything. You do it passionately and generously for your your audience without holding back..Chapeau.😘😘👍
Thank you so much for this video!!! I watched your video on money bowls last week and loved it so much I subscribed. This video was EVERYTHING! I have had low energy for a while but only recently admitted it to myself on Sunday. This video is a healing salve for my soul! When I was learning reiki, the teacher had us create a reiki room very much like world building. I think I will do this for my craft. You have so much juicy information and I am so grateful for you. Thank you thank you thank you!!!
I truely enjoy anything that you put out and would love to see any of the new videos that you would put out... you have already inspired me soooo much...
Oh, btw... @77 and I'm in the process of building a world starting with my Mind Palace~~~that will be expanded into a world eventually... right here on the central Oregon coast😊
@@IvyTheOccultist I immediately thought - flowers, colors, herbs, symbols- all amplifying a certain energy which then aligns your energy. Brilliant. Nice down load! Will start 🙂 So many truly advanced practitioners like myself out here, so nice to see us - experienced, fully empowered, a step above honestly, and sharing the knowledge.
@@LisaSoulLevelHealing YESS to sharing knowledge!! I just took a quick peek at your channel and subscribed. Looking forward to watching some of your videos 🤗🙏
Ur so amazing!! Ur the 1st ever in my experience w the magic world especially someone giving there "advice" or "teachings for beginners" That came straight out and just said. I have delt w mental health issues n problems with mental depression n made it sound so beautifully normal! I really hope u get to read this because i just want to give the upmost respect n gratitude for that I've only watched 2of ur videos but i think im about to be blown away like this so many more times! U 4SURE DESERVE THAT AWARD n i hope u have a beatiful n magical 2024!! Thank u again!!
@@jessicaperez-beardsley8283 if you get a chance, send me an email so we can connect!! 🤗 Trying to keep my personal info off of RUclips just in case. Ya never know... Lol
I'm a year late coming too / viewing your video, haha. I'm so grateful you put together this video Ivy! I have depression and fatigue syndrome as well, I take medication that is working for me (thank goodness), however, there are days I sleep. Your tips and suggestions are wonderful!
Hey, I used to pull runes on long drives to grad school when I sometimes pulled over and slept a bit. So it's a great idea for any time when you're running low and living on caffeine fumes.
Thank you for the video. This was Awesome, many good info. I really like your ideas on doing prep work on spells or enchanting jewelry. Many in our craft say you must do something everyday. And that can be challenging to do. Again thank you. Blessed Be. 🖤🖤🖤🤘🤘🤘
I like your ideas. My favorite lazy witch thing to do is watch RUclips videos. I would love to see your recommendations! I have an inner temple which includes a castle full of rooms but I’m just getting started with it.
Listening to you muse about your power room in the world-building portion of this video resonated so much! The different doors remind me of a dream I had!! Can't wait for your videos to come!
Thanks, Willow!! I'm so glad the world building resonated with you! Also, I always love hearing about your dreams so you better share that with me later! 😉
Love this video! Thank you so much for all the tips! I run into that problem of being exhausted often and it’s nice to have a few new things to add to my belt when I’m not doing my best and that are obtainable for me. I’m also interested in everything you talked about in this video so literally anything you want to talk about, I’ll 100% watch. 😄
You've probably already done the charming jewelry video, so I'll check out your list of vids to see if I can find it, but... if not... this has got my vote. ;) Thank you for this. I did share it on my FB for those I know who may also be going through low energy right now. It certainly gave me some great new ideas to think about.
Not me watching this and falling asleep as I'm low energy.
“Practise throwing it at your child”…. Context unnecessary…. This is my favourite part
😂😂😂 It's the best exercise ever!
“I like naps and reading” girl same😂😂
When my son was a boy, my husband would form an energy ball, add a color, and pass it to my son asking him what color it was (mostly as a visualization and sensing exercise); then my son would change the color and pass it back to his Dad. They got quite good at communicating this way.
Not only is this helpful for low energy (i have mental health problems too) but as a busy parent I don't want to feel I'm cramming in my craft but blending it with my life. Thanks again!
I do my craft in the bathroom -- because that's the only time I get to myself 😑

I also am trying to learn about cleansing and protection aswell. I think that they are very important too.
I love the idea of world building. Its not something ive heard of before but would love to include this. It sounds a brilliant way to help.
I just want to say thank you. You are exactly what i am looking for to help me learn. I have subscribed and look forward to more of your videos.
This is amazing! You are so great at explaining concepts. I enjoy that you are more "advanced", a lot of other RUclips are all, "use your intention" whereas you are like, THIS is a neat method that works for me, please use as a springboard to find your own. Can't wait to see all your videos.
Haha thank you so much!!! 🙏🖤🖤🖤
Ivy, I just love you. 💕 Your presence is so solid and comforting.
This was exactly the info I needed! I have very bad health issues and it makes me a bit depressed that I can’t practice the craft like I once did, nor do I have my own home or a room just for my witching like I did for over 10 years which makes it even harder to feel connected. I will be using many of these tips :)
What an amazing video! As someone fairly low energy and just plain lazy this will be very useful. I'd also like to add for those of us that do skincare, maybe you could enchant your morning lotion or whatever you use to give you some energy.
Absolutely!! What a great idea! There are endless possibilities with glamour magick. You can enchant your clothes, your jewelry, your face wash, your makeup, pretty much anything you put on your body! It's simple, yet powerful. 😊 Also, I feel you on the "lazy" bit... Me too haha
@@IvyTheOccultist On your recommendation I picked up eastern body, western mind, not too far into it yet but I'm definitely going to get use out of this. Been feeling really unbalanced lately so thank you!
Yesss, oh I'm so glad you picked that up!! It's a massive book that will definitely take some time to get through, but it's SO worth it!! 😊
I am interested in tea leaf reading, please 😊
Yes please, would love a center, ground, direct video. Thank you, your videos are so educational!!!
Oh I actually already did that video! 😆 It's the "Magick 101: Quick Guide to Centering, Grounding, and Directing Energy." Haha thank you soo much!!! 🖤🤗
@@IvyTheOccultist thank you! I will look for it!!!
These are all great ideas! I work long hours and I am always tired. These are beautiful, simple ,quick, positive ways to connect to Nature and All That Is....thank you!
one i like to do for air is practice some martial arts ive learnt in the past and feel how the air flows around me. you also can add your own original movement in there too.
So glad i found your channel. I take showers just the water alone helps me. Hot water mainly but sometimes use cold water or both i start hot and end with cold. I put pumkin pie spice in my coffee. It has cinnamon & other herbs. Also drink tea. Mint green tea is my go to.
I just found your channel from a reddit sub, and I love it so much. I can listen to you for hours, and I just might.
Thank you so so much! 🥺 I think that's the nicest comment I've ever received and I really appreciate it! 🤗
Can I just say how much I love all your book recommendations! When there is so much watered down and incorrect information, it is such a relief to have a great recommendation on further reading! Thank you!!!
You are too kind! ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so much! When you find a good book... You have to share it with everyone you know 😂
Aww, you’re from where I grew up and lived for a long time as an adult. I loved near Astoria Oregon. 2 years ago we moved. Anyways, I don’t know why that got me excited!
I also struggle with low energy and chronic fatigue, Adhd, depression and anxiety.
Thank you so much for this uplifting and inspiring video ❤
Great video.🙏My energy is always low. I was born with Mars in 12th house. And I have CFS/ POTS. Very difficult to do full blown rituals
I do a version of the world building, but for me it’s looking at a giant bookshelf and each book contains the realm I want to be transported to like in the beginning of some fairytale children movies. I visualize opening the book and diving into that world.
So about world building… I just discussed this with my partner. He’s a hypnotherapist. And I described what you are doing. And He said “I use that technique in my practice. I help my clients create a safe space for different purposes. Sometimes it’s a place to store trauma where the only place they have to deal with it is when they are in that space.” And he gave some other examples too. I told him about how you use it in your magical practice and he thought that 1) it was really really cool lol And 2) it was the perfect container for doing magic when your like me and don’t people all that well 😂
I am honored that a hypnotherapist thinks my weird techniques are cool! 😂 If you give it a try, you'll have to report back and tell me how it went. I'm always curious about other people's inner temples! ❤️
@@IvyTheOccultist definitely will do. I’m currently getting my magical ducks in a row as I head into the planning portion of the new year. Sounds like some great low energy witchcraft for my season of hibernation
Thank you so much for doing what your doing Ivy! The last few years I have felt quite disconnected from it all, but watching your videos you have not only inspired me, nudged me to research new things, but also have shown me that everything I do on a day to day basis has been magical and I have just forgotten that magic it all holds! So again Thank you! And may love and kindness always walk with you!
Thank you for this video - from a really tired old witch with multiple chronic health problems.
🖤🖤🖤 I'm glad it resonated! You are definitely not alone 🤗
@@IvyTheOccultist It definitely resonated. I played it on a day where I was so exhausted it felt like I had boulders on my shoulders as i went through a medical appointment and grocery shopping, etc. Lately just the idea of having any kind of daily practice seemed totally unattainable, so I really appreciate your suggestions. I need to watch this video again while I take notes.
@@greeneyedlady5580 I feel you... The exhaustion is real. And sometimes it's not even physical exhaustion, it's mental and emotional exhaustion. Sending you some love and healing energy to get through it all! 🖤🖤
@@IvyTheOccultist Thank you. Agreed. For me it was all 3 this week. 💙💜🖤
this video made me realize that there are already many of these activities that I used to do or do in my day to day. I grew up in a family of curanderas and witches so all this is so natural to me, but now that I live by myself I've just forgotten or stopped doing some of these things. I am grateful that I found your video because it has not only reminded me of everything I'm able to do thanks to my family and everything they taught me, you have also named all these practices that I do daily without knowing. Thanks a lot!
when I was little, my mother used to make me imagine these wonderful spaces full of rooms with all the things I wanted right before going to bed. she would make me close my eyes while she narrated to me every scenario, we would travel through castles, boats, meadows, my job was to visualise all the things that I wanted in those spaces to make it easier for me to manifest it in my life. it's sooo cool to know now that I can use that in my practice!
@@juguitomaggie Ahhh, I love everything you said SO MUCH! I love that your mom had you visualize from a young age and I love that most of this comes natural to you!! 🖤🖤🖤 Thank you for your kindness!!
As an empathic water sign, I can vouch for the miracles of baths!
I love using magnesium flakes and Dead Sea salt.
Also wow, as the youngest of an a estranged family, having tea with my ancestors sounds amazing.
Love this video. I do escape into my hot tub or bath tub. I also pull a tarot card for the day. And I do have a special cup for tea cup reading.
I developed something similar to the world building you do, and discovered it through trauma recovery. When I was a kid, I had a magical world that I was using for the stories I wrote. After some traumatic life experiences as an adult, I was meditating and came across a familiar place from that world, and started discovering parts of myself there. I can go in and take care of those locations to work on myself. It's crazy how it helps me to learn about my internal world and cause change.
This is so helpful 😊 I’m a narcoleptic witch and these practices are so important for maintaining my craft!
Love what you are doing! Basics on a bit of everything is helpful to figure out where to personally delve deeper. Thanks for your videos!
Thank you so much!! 🙏🖤
I love hearing about witchy colors. I do color, and this sounds perfect.
Woohoo! I love color too! 😊❤️
Right little messages to the spirits on rocks, beautiful beautiful rocks. I usually collect them at different beaches and I do polish them.
Throw them back to the ocean or place them on the beaches the rocks that I have here at my home I cannot possibly take them with me. I will throw back to the Earth where they stay surrounding my home.
I could watch this creator on repeat.
I’m going to walk barefoot threw my yard today. I have a beautiful rural yard. I’m grateful every day. ❤️
Lovely!! ☺️❤️
Absolutely interested in charming jewellery. Thanks for an interesting video and permission to rest. ‘Busy-ness’ is not always the best thing for your soul. Learn to say no unapologetically (with a smile of course) Love and light to everyone❤️✨
Absolutely!! Thank you for your kindness. Much love to you as well! 😊🙏
I didnt know that I was doing world building but I have been unintentionally doing it for a little over a year.it is so nice to give it a name and give it more than it already is.
So glad you resonate with this! 🙌
love your channel! thank you!
Thank you!! 🥰🙏❤️
Another fabulous, interesting, and informative video! I've always called my special room Lindseyville. When I open the door that is hidden in a giant oak tree the ocean greets me. Beach, gentle waves, birds, sun, and no humans. When I turn my head I see a dense, cool forest with and walk up the sand hill and head down the well worn path greeting the fae along the way. Rays of sunbeams dapple the path and I stop, sit, and have a drink from a small brook and catch the fragrant honeysuckle aroma that drifts in from the meadow that beckons me through the parting trees. Wildflowers are up to my waist and lay down and watch the animal clouds drift by for a while and doze off to sleep. When I awake the moon is overhead and I walk through the meadow and onto the sandy beach again where the moonlight glistens on the waves. A fire and chair are waiting for me and spend some time being grateful for my life, the earth, the universe, and all the spirits/angels/ancestors who watch over me, protect me, and guide me on my path. I hear an owl hoot calling me back through the door in the oak tree and I walk back into reality. I love Lindseyville. It's peaceful, only the sounds of nature.
Anyway! Bring on the the jewelry charms! I don't wear makeup but I love my jewelry.
Lindseyville sounds gorgeous!!! I am so happy to see another person taking advantage of this technique! ❤️❤️❤️
Looove the world building technique. Yes I think this will be helpful for many! I'm going to try it right away! Thank you and blessings to you! ❤❤
I recently figured out how to turn my energy orbs into projectiles. It was such a cool moment, and I've been recreating it since. I might just film it next time I practice it.
World building sounds like astral altar. However it is more specific. Great idea! Will use! Thanks!
LMBO!!! I used to play a game of "catch" with my boys using a *pretend* ball. We would throw it around like one would a regular ball. They would get into it so much, it would bounce off them, the wall, they'd miss it and go get it, just like a regular ball. Looking back, we were playing with an energy ball! Such fond memories 🥰 Another great video! And perfect timing for my low energy level.
This video and its content along with your sweet, wonderful, direct genuine delivery literally changed my life today. Thought you should know that. Such great advice to a solitary practitioner. I relate to a lot of what you talked about. I’m going to definitely be utilizing the suggestions. I hope you have a wonderful day. ❤🎉❤
Thank you so much; that is so sweet! I appreciate your kind words! ❤️
Energy manipulation video…yes please!!!
I have alot of chronic pain and I just moved in February, still unpacking and getting the house in order. I don't think I've ever felt so low energy in my life. I watch videos on my many breaks from cleaning and unpacking. As I clean, cook, etc, just regular mundane tasks and chores, I try to do so with intention, to clear out negativity and overall stale, stagnent air and vibes, to stir in love and compassion into my coffee or food,. When I drink my coffe or take a break, I sit by a window and take in the sights of nature, despite the cold, snow or rain of the season. I have aphantasia, and I'm unable to visualise in my mind. I also have PMLE, an allergy to the sun. These things have really been hardships in my practice, as I can go out into nature as much as I would like. I can't visualise my intentions, etc. It makes some of these low energy things difficult for me to do as I have to try to think of new ways I can achieve the same results.
Somehow I missed this comment! I am so sorry to hear the struggles you are currently going through. And not being able to visualize does make things more difficult, but I'm really glad to know that you have found ways around that! You'll just have to connect more to your physical body which is definitely not a bad thing. 🤗🖤
This was a great list! I love the world building idea. I did a meditation I recorded myself reading from a book about my personal place of power & wrote details as well as made a map. I go there when I need to, but the thought of making other places for all different reasons is an exciting thing! I will be doing this from now on. I get excited when you put out a new video as well! I have the book you recommended in my saved list on Amazon, so I will go ahead & buy it now. Thank you as always for your time, energy & wisdom. XX
Ahh, I'm so glad that the world building concept resonated with you! I love that you recorded yourself and even created a map to your personal place of power. Those kinds of meditations are SO powerful! Props to you for recording yourself. I tried once and felt weird listening to my own voice afterwards 🤣 Also, I love that you're getting the book! 🤗❤️ Thank you for always sharing such kind words, I really appreciate it!!
The world building technique sounds a lot like creating your inner realm (I first heard this from azura dragonfaether on RUclips several years ago).
I love it 😊 your video and explanation of the different rooms gave me a few ideas on how to expand my own world for the future.
So far I got a beach and I'm slowly creating this world little by little. A place where I can connect and communicate with my guides and practice my visualization skills amongst other things! I don't have any separated themes but the two places I do have on my world and its map is more split into something elemental. Water and forest.
Maybe I should consider building a castle close to my meadow area 🤔 create rooms for passion and energy. That would be good as I struggle with that (depression gets in the way)
Thank you for your lovely video anyhow ❤️ very helpful
You already know I'm a new practitioner, but I have to say, I knew that I subbed to you for a reason. Another badass video. Thank you, so much for all that you do. You have an incredibly wonderful momentum.
😭 You are too kind!!! Thank you so so much. 🙏
Yeah, I am burnt out and my mental health issues all drain me and disrupt sleep. Medication helps but sometimes it is what it is. Thanks for the video.
First, I enjoy your videos. You are such a pleasant, uplifting person to watch and listen to.
Secondly regarding your mental house,
I met a world champion memorized and he said 1 of the techniques they use is called the Roman house and also, the Chinese called it the heavenly palace. The idea is to create a mental house/ palace and place very specific things in each room, just as you said. In his case it was how to memorize an entire encyclopedia. But you way is likely the original way, considering the rich history of esoteric knowledge these cultures possessed.
Thank you for sharing your discovery with me. I had forgotten this discussion until you mentioned it.
Blessings 😊
Ahhh, thank you so so much!!! I knew I wasn't the only one out there having these thoughts. 😆 Thank you for sharing this - it's so interesting! And I'll definitely be looking into those other labels/techniques you mentioned to see how similar they are. Thank you so much for your kind words! 🤗
I love your videos and really love that you are right here in the pnw.
You're in the PNW too?? Ahh, that's so cool!! There's actually a lot of witches here surprisingly. I think The Green Witch (on RUclips) is also in the PNW as well as some others!
Totally interested in tea leaf readings!!! I totally can identify, here. I think I slowly changed my being in bed and resting habits with the dawn of wi-fi and not having to actually be out of bed to sit at a desktop computer. So since I can stay in bed and relax, versus at a desk or on a sofa...I do. Being a night shift nurse contributes to this as well. I'm never on my sofa. LOL My bedroom is my living room lately. But I would like to be the person I was before, sometimes, and be up and at 'em.
I love the world building and excellent idea I personally have never heard of this but I will definitely be trying it xx
Yes on the jewelry. 💜👍🏻
All of this is amazing!! I agree and already incorporate most. You are wonderful. Thank you
Thank you! I'm so glad you incorporate these things into your practice! 🥰🤗
Your idea on the video regarding the practice for centering, grounding and directing energy is a great idea.
I actually ended up filming that video shortly after making this one! ❤️❤️
@@IvyTheOccultist I will check it out.
yes to tea leaf reading video ❤
2:50 💦 epsom salt, lavender, rose, plantain, rosemary, eucalyptus, peppermint, sun water
4:30 🌍 plant and tree spirits on my native land
This is just amazing. I have been watching your videos almost daily (I recently discovered you - am a beginner in magick) and i find you very eloquent. You make an amazing teacher. But this idea of imaginary (worldbuilding) rooms seems to me so so inspiring and something i definitely have to look into or build up as of now. Will keep you informed how it goes. Thanks so much for everything. You do it passionately and generously for your your audience without holding back..Chapeau.😘😘👍
Thank you so much; I really appreciate your kindness! 🙏❤️
Truly Love your channel!
💚🤍🖤💜💛
Thank you so much for this video!!! I watched your video on money bowls last week and loved it so much I subscribed. This video was EVERYTHING! I have had low energy for a while but only recently admitted it to myself on Sunday. This video is a healing salve for my soul! When I was learning reiki, the teacher had us create a reiki room very much like world building. I think I will do this for my craft. You have so much juicy information and I am so grateful for you. Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Grounding Centering and Directing energy would be an awesome video!!!
I truely enjoy anything that you put out and would love to see any of the new videos that you would put out... you have already inspired me soooo much...
Oh, btw... @77 and I'm in the process of building a world starting with my Mind Palace~~~that will be expanded into a world eventually... right here on the central Oregon coast😊
So inspired
Thank you so much!! You are so generous! 🙏❤️
World building was genius. As soon as you said it, I knew that was it.
Yes!!!! So glad you resonated with it!! 🖤
@@IvyTheOccultist I immediately thought - flowers, colors, herbs, symbols- all amplifying a certain energy which then aligns your energy. Brilliant. Nice down load! Will start 🙂
So many truly advanced practitioners like myself out here, so nice to see us - experienced, fully empowered, a step above honestly, and sharing the knowledge.
@@LisaSoulLevelHealing YESS to sharing knowledge!! I just took a quick peek at your channel and subscribed. Looking forward to watching some of your videos 🤗🙏

Yes please videos on energy manipulation
Love love LOVE this video!! You asked what we want to see…we want to see it all!
Perfect!!! 😂😂😂 That sounds great to me! Thanks Jessica, you're awesome!!
@@IvyTheOccultist what part of the PNW are you in? I’m in Auburn, WA 😃
@@jessicaperez-beardsley8283 if you get a chance, send me an email so we can connect!! 🤗 Trying to keep my personal info off of RUclips just in case. Ya never know... Lol
@@IvyTheOccultist I understand! where can I find your email?
@@jessicaperez-beardsley8283 oh duh! Should have given that to you. Haha! It's on my channel page, but it's: anotheroccultist@gmail.com 🤗
You offer so much, I am motivated to subscribe though because of the world building, it’s inspired.
Just found you. Absolutely love your world building idea & I’m going to utilise it ASAP. Thank you
Yess, I am so glad you found it insightful! And, thank you very much! 🤗❤️
I'm a year late coming too / viewing your video, haha. I'm so grateful you put together this video Ivy! I have depression and fatigue syndrome as well, I take medication that is working for me (thank goodness), however, there are days I sleep. Your tips and suggestions are wonderful!
Hey, I used to pull runes on long drives to grad school when I sometimes pulled over and slept a bit. So it's a great idea for any time when you're running low and living on caffeine fumes.
Thank you for the video. This was Awesome, many good info. I really like your ideas on doing prep work on spells or enchanting jewelry. Many in our craft say you must do something everyday. And that can be challenging to do. Again thank you. Blessed Be. 🖤🖤🖤🤘🤘🤘
Thanks for this. I would be interested in video's on grounding, directing, and centering energy. And also more information on energy balls.
I like your ideas. My favorite lazy witch thing to do is watch RUclips videos. I would love to see your recommendations! I have an inner temple which includes a castle full of rooms but I’m just getting started with it.
I really enjoy your videos. Such good information. ❤
Drawn to listen thank you !!
Listening to you muse about your power room in the world-building portion of this video resonated so much! The different doors remind me of a dream I had!! Can't wait for your videos to come!
Thanks, Willow!! I'm so glad the world building resonated with you! Also, I always love hearing about your dreams so you better share that with me later! 😉
As i lay in bed at 6 pm. Needing a little break . After an easy day. So unusual for me
Love this video! Thank you so much for all the tips! I run into that problem of being exhausted often and it’s nice to have a few new things to add to my belt when I’m not doing my best and that are obtainable for me. I’m also interested in everything you talked about in this video so literally anything you want to talk about, I’ll 100% watch. 😄
Hahaha perfect!! 😆 Thank you so much for your kindness; it means a lot! 🙏🖤
Thank you. I needed this video in the worst way today. 💜
You've probably already done the charming jewelry video, so I'll check out your list of vids to see if I can find it, but... if not... this has got my vote. ;) Thank you for this. I did share it on my FB for those I know who may also be going through low energy right now. It certainly gave me some great new ideas to think about.
