grounding, centering & then facing
grounding's nice & simple: sink your taproot into the core of the earth & pull up its energy into your own
centering as i learned it is kinda hard for me to describe; martial artists know it as orienting the center of gravity, usually in one of the lower centers. the practice i was taught for psy-exercises was to put the cneter of gravity into the middle of your head, exactly between your ears
facing (my own term) is the direction of the energy to an outside target; boosting is one example. tie three things to the energy & it should become more focused -- a word, an image/picture, & a feeling or emotion. i really liked the visuals used in the movie "Dark City", where the hero called it 'tuning' - i think its kinda the same thing
(the following is my theory) if you can use your whole body the same way you'd use one nerve-cell -- i.e. you take in info/light/energy/whatever, you process it, & then you transmit it (see above) -- you can do all kinds of groovy tricks
