sendings

A sending, in the context of certain spiritual or magical traditions, refers to the act of projecting or directing energy, intent, or even a specific form or entity from oneself to another person, place, or object. This is often understood as a deliberate and focused transmission. The purpose of a sending can vary widely, from conveying a message of love or healing to influencing a situation or even imbuing an object with a particular quality.

The mechanics of sending are typically described as involving mental visualization, focused will, and the manipulation of subtle energies. Practitioners might imagine the energy or entity flowing from their own being, through a directed path, to its intended destination. The effectiveness of a sending is often believed to depend on the sender's skill, clarity of intention, and the receptivity of the target.

Different traditions may have distinct names and interpretations for this practice. In some contexts, it can be associated with telepathic communication or psychic influence. The concept can also appear in folklore and mythology, where deities or magical beings are described as sending blessings, curses, or assistance. Understanding sendings requires an awareness of the specific belief systems and practices within which the term is used, as interpretations can differ significantly.
