Seattle: Jedi Training
“The Guardian’s Spirit is that sword which pierces the veil, filling the cosmos. It refers to the vitality of actions, and the quality of inactions. The Guardian’s Spirit is not really a possession at all, but rather the force of the vital energy in which the totality of the Self mobilizes and takes its repose.”
-Light of the Kensai*

:Jedi Training Intensive (Level I):
The Guardian Training Intensive (Level I) provides an integrative series of exercises and hands-on practices for Self-Discovery and empowerment. This is an opportunity to explore the fundamentals and dynamics of the Human Energy Field and its relationship to consciousness, the physical body and other bodies, as well as receive training in a diverse selection of practical applications.
During the weekend, we also cover essentials in conflict resolution, community and ceremonial guardianship, and relationship dynamics. The range of practices span from advanced metaphysical techniques to very simple shifts in presence and direction to elicit immediate and noticable changes both internally and externally. At the Heart of this cocreation, our intention is to bring forth the natural gifts of all attendees, and deepen our capacity for Love, healing, and awakening.
The first phase of the Intensive explores Energy. Enhance your sensitivity to Energy in its many forms, and bring conceptual Energetics into your physical experience. Develop a deeper familiarity with each of the layers of the Energy Body, and learn techniques for moving Energy in very specific and precise ways. Work with others to link, braid, and co-create tangible fields and circles. The Art of the Jedi is knowing the Force in all its Forms.
The second phase of the Intensive awakens the Body. Discover methods for building up charge in the Body, raising the Kundalini and applying it for magical, martial, or sensual purposes. Move energy through each part of your Body, and focus it to heal, clear, or release Force. Become proficient in holding states of Yang or Yin, balancing the Body, and allowing real Power to emerge in your movements through proper grounding and relaxation. The Body of the Jedi is true Temple.
The third phase of the Intensive expands Consciousness. Step outside the physical, and recognize the way that Consciousness acts and interacts in other Dimensions. Identify and focus your Consciousness on the Etheric and Astral Planes, and explore techniques for enhancing your awareness, enabling higher-sensory perception, and remote viewing. Develop the fundamental skills for lucid dreaming, teleportation, and accessing causal realms. The Consciousness of the Jedi contains all Locks, and holds all Keys.

Warding 101
Circles
The most simple form of Ward is the Circle, an adjustable energetic barrier that filters both energy coming into or going out of a selected area. For many practical purposes, Casting a Circle is all that is necessary when the Circle is defined with a few clear intentions (my most highly recommended of which would be to create the circle by bringing it “down” from the Eternal Source or “up” from the Eternal Source). In some cases, however, a Circle isn’t as effective, especially when the Circle itself is used as a Portal or Gateway, or when the Circle needs to be cast upon an a permeable surface or opening that other things need to pass through.
Gates
Circles initially form a horizontal or vertical barrier that acts like a tunnel (or cylinder), and as described in my section on Casting Circles, can also be rotated to form spheres. Many times, it is useful to set up “Gates” within a tunnel or cylindrical Circle, like membranes that modify the flow of energy moving through the Circle’s passage. For example, you could set up a vertical Circle that extends down a hallway, and set up three different Gates, each of which serve a different function. One might purify and clear Physical Energy, the next might be focused on Emotional Energy Fields, and the third on Mental Fields. If your Circle is placed in a doorway or other threshold, you could create a Gate with multiple layers that encompassed the Wards you would like to place upon that threshold.
So what is a Gate, and how do you create one? Simply put, a Gate is usually a Sigil or Geometric Shape that has a special meaning or magical property that is placed upon a two-dimensional surface plane of Energy. This surface plane or membrane is then extended to fill a Circle, like the head of a drum, or the cap on a cylinder. An example would be the Pentagram, which could be used to create all sorts of basic or advanced Physical effects within the Gate, and is also excellent in its “Pure White” form as a Physical Protection Ward.
Containers
When creating a Ward that is not intended to go inside a Circle, it is still important to set the “Container” for the Ward’s effects with you consciousness previous to casting. For example, if you wanted to cast a Protective Ward upon a special crystal, you should designate the area around that crystal in which the Ward will take effect. This might be that the Physical repulsion effects of someone reaching for the crystal are set to activate within a one-foot sphere around the crystal, or may be set directly into the surface of the crystal itself, so that holding it may be very uncomfortable for anyone other that the owner or a designated recipient. Containers can be set to perform in any size or shape, but be conscious of what objects may be already within the Container you specify, as they may have an effect on the Ward, especially if they have counteractive properties to the object you are protecting!
Timing
A specific time can be set for a Ward to dissipate, or if you would like it to remain until dispelled (remember to set conditions for the dispel!) or as long as possible, it can be “Tied Off” by connecting it directly to a Source Stream of Energy. Setting the timing for dissipation is fairly easy, as long as you can specify the time in a way that is relative to the object or Ward directly, and not just an arbitrary idea of time like “2:00pm on Wednesday.” What Wednesday? When is 2:00pm? What energy happens at this time that could possibly signal the dissipation of the Ward?
If there is a clock in the room, you can connect the Ward to a certain position on the clock (and chimes work great), but then you need another reference thought for the Day, like a Calendar or Synchronometer. Traditionally, Moon Cycles have been used, as they are always relative to any object on Earth, and in many areas of the Planet the Seasons can also act as a very general “Universal Timing Agent.” If you know your Earth Cycles well, you can set the position of the Sun or Moon, a certain number of Sun or Moon Cycles, or even the exact positions of Planets and Stars for very specific Time Conditions. If not, you can always use a Clock and a Calendar, as long as they (or your own awareness of the timing) will remain active upon the Ward.
Process
The basic steps for casting a successful Ward are:
1. Determine the properties of the Ward and select appropriate Sigils, Geometries, Colors, etc to establish and tune the Energy.
2. Determine the Container or Circle the Ward will be placed within.
3. Decide if you need one or more Gates in the Ward and what the properties of each will be.
4. Connect with Source, focus on creating the Container or Circle.
5. Envision your selected Sigils and Energies forming Gates, or filling the Container. Usually you want one large “Major” Sigil, even if it contains “Minor” Sigils that extends in size right to the boundary of your Circle or Container.
6. If necessary, make a timing imprint by sending a visualization of your specific dissipation time into the field, and seeing the Ward unraveling or dissolving in your mind’s eye under that Moon or other Time Condition.
7. Envision the Ward in its full effect, using any possible scenarios that may play out when it is active to reinforce its strength and adaptability,
8. If desired, call in an Eternal Stream of Energy from the Source and connect it into the top of the Circle or Container, then bring another one up from the Core of the Earth and connect it into the bottom to allow the Ward to be self-sustaining.
9. Fill it with Gratitude for the Source for activation of the Ward, and disengage from the Casting.
The Force: Dark & Light, Yin & Yang
It was proposed to me recently that the Light Side of the Force seems to be more Yin in nature, while the Dark Side is more Yang. While one side might appear more passive and internal, and the other more active and external, Yin and Yang are fundamental Principles of the Force, and there is no movement of the Force itself without each of them intertwined in some way.
The fundamental difference between the Way that the Sith use the Force versus the Jedi actually has very little to do with “dark” and “light,” those are simply linguistic metaphors which are unfortunately misused more often than not. The difference is actually more about the Karma involved, and the nature of the dynamics of Energy that unfold when one acts out of Anger or Hate, versus when one acts out of Love, Truth, or Honor.
In short, Anger is like a poorly controlled fire: it burns you, can spread chaotically, and in terms of transformation, it requires suffering on all sides. Truth on the other hand is like a laser: it shines exactly where it is needed, maintains self-integrity, and can also be painful in transformation, but only for a moment before a healing naturally happens.
The pain and self-destructive properties of Anger and Fear are addictive, as they seem to offer short term gratification while slowly rotting away the integrity of the Self over time. For those who have taken the path of the Dark Side, one of the only allures is tricking others into doing so in order to gain more power and watch others suffer, simply to relieve their own struggle for a time.
When aligned with the True Way of the Force, one understands these principles of creation and destruction. Learning to balance the desires of the ego and temper the need for short term satisfaction, one aligns more with the flow of Sacred Purpose, which gently and surely enables and empowers the Self to improve on All Levels.
