When the serpents finish shedding their skin, I will be whole again.
Um. Hi. I haven't updated in a while. Things have been interesting. Currently, I'm feeling very drained. Although I'm still productive, I've been fighting a growing sadness for the past month or so. I've been doing well, but here and there I've been more down than I'd like. I feel very detached right now. I'm rather detached from my writing

While drawing and storing energy can be useful, it is a different energy than the naturally produced internal energy derived from eating, sleeping, etc. The internal 'base' energy is a necessary catalyst (for lack of a better word) to further other activities. If you try and do stuff without it, you end up failing. Drain your 'base' too much and you can damage the internal workings (like I think I did), and then you have to wait for them to repair themselves.
Anyway, that's mostly speculation, but it's somewhat backed up by some different literature I've read. Maybe let your physical and emotional life take some time for itself until your spiritual side is ready to go again. Good relaxation, exercise, and sleep probably helps your 'base' energy than drawing. (I don't really know an intentional exercise to refill that) You can let drawn atmospheric energy sift through you, but I doubt you'll be able to hold on to much. When in doubt, it's better to wait a few weeks than be forced to wait a few months. My burnout also left me numb, with a decreased sense of energetic awareness, and that sucked a lot.
