		<description>I have never had any luck with healing rituals.  I&#039;ve been told I just need more practice.  You know what they say.  Its like  muscle that never gets used.  when you exercise it it hurts, but it gets stronger.</description>

		<description>Congrats on finishing your first real ritual!  I hope that the energy finds it&#039;s way to your brother-in-law and I will light a candle for him and send some energy his way also.

While you feel filled with energy during and immediately after rituals, they are exhausting and I sometimes wind up with headaches and feel famished.  I tend to try to eat something afterwards to avoid the queezy feeling.  

I once asked a very experienced wise woman about the exhaustion I experienced, and she told me that a lot of people tend to focus the energy out of their stomaches or don&#039;t concentrate on where it&#039;s focusing out of. She told me that if I concentrated on focusing the energy out of the center of my forehead that I would avoid a lot of the exhaustion after ritual.  She was right.

Also - don&#039;t forget to ground yourself before ritual.  That helps too.</description>
