Everything expresses energy. I do not believe in accidents or coincidence. I believe in energy. Events have a vibration that mix and blend causing a synapse of energy which then manifests in this reality. Perception of energy allows you to glean information ahead of time. What I mean is, you can know or perceive information before it occurs by attending to energy.  
 
I did not invent "this stuff". I have studied it most of my life in one form or another. The ultimate energy experiences and lessons came from sixteen years with one of the masters of metaphysics, Stuart Wilde. (Author of; The Quickening, The Trick to Money is Having Some, Silent Power, Life Was Never Meant to Be A Struggle and others)  
 
Energy goes by many names. You can call it what you will, the God Force, Universal Law, Chi and "this stuff works"! Chi is from Chinese philosophy. The lessons that I teach come mostly from the Taoist philosophy. Stuart Wilde was a student of the Tao as was his teacher, Marshall Lever. I studied under this lineage. The first writing about energy in China was more than 5,000 years ago. The study of Chi forms the foundation of all forms of the recently popular Feng Shui, the Chinese art of placement. When you follow the energy, you follow the power. When you align to the Chi, you align to the power.  
 
Now, what Stuart Wilde did was to employ the Taoist philosophy to teach western societies about metaphysics. He called his teachings "western mysticism".  
 
What I teach to the students in Dice Busters, is a form of Taoist philosophy, the use of Chi, through western mysticism. In other words, I call it, "applied metaphysics". Using this "stuff" allows us to "see what others cannot, and to know what others do not." No matter what game you play, applied metaphysics provides an additional edge to your strategy.  
 
Meditation and creative visualization are useful tools to peer into another world of information. I provide several examples of "gaming" meditations in my dice playbook, given to students in the Dice Busters™ workshop. Meditation is a great way of overcoming the negative beliefs held by the subconscious mind. Guided meditation is a way to contact the subconscious mind. You can change your reality simply by changing your mind. I recommend meditations as a preparation before playing the game. I believe that meditation enhances one's ability to perceive energy.  
 
Working with energy is like everything, when it works it's a beautiful thing! The more you practice using it, the more you hone your skill. You will see for yourself watching your own experiences as you begin to observe the energy. Simply acknowledging the occurrence of energy empowers you. You influence the subconscious mind to explore a new way of experiencing life. Eventually, the limitations held dear by the subconscious mind, move out of your way and you are off to the races. It is like peering over the backyard fence and discovering that there is another world out there just waiting for you to join. Metaphysical experiences are a part of your life, a part of your world. Take a peek over the fence! What's the worse thing that could happen?  
 
Keep a journal of some of your more impressive metaphysical experiences. As you verify your experiences, it only gets better. The more you believe and experience, the more empowered you become.  
 
Winning is the result of several factors. Perception of energy is just one more string to your bow of empowerment. The more tools you have to take to the game, the better off you will be in a game of chance. You can never force something to happen. However, if you do all that you can do, to align to an energy experience, then you have done your best to succeed. Like the Dice Coach likes to say, "This stuff works!" When it does, it's a beautiful thing.  
 
The next Dice Busters workshop is January 7th and 8th. Who ya gonna call?
