I summarized all of this, but most of the basics of these exercises
can be found in Initiaion Into Hermetics. The texts are much longer
and more detailed. Like I said before- everyone here should read
that book, even more than once if necessary and fully understand
it.
Exercises:
Concentrating and Directing Elements
1. Go int a light trance.
2. Breathe in the element of fire and upon the exhale, direct all of
it to your base chakra, so it is concentrated.
3. Do this for five breaths.
4. Meditate upon and feel the heat in your base chakra.
If you feel uncomfortable doing this, you can substitute directing
the water element into your sacral chakra. Either do one or the
other.
What this does is to train you to concentrate and direct an element.
This can also be done outside of your body and for advanced magick,
you will need this skill. It must be taken slowly though. This is
very advanced. The fire element will stimulate your kundalini.
Directing the elements to specific parts of the body can also be
used to heal. NEVER DIRECT THE FIRE ELEMENT TO YOUR HEART OR YOUR
BRAIN!! This can be very dangerous and can cause permanent damage to
these organs.

Evoking the Elements
When your goals are personal and pertain to yourself, this is the
time to invoke energy and project it from yourself.
Evoking energy is different. When spells are for others, it is
important to evoke energy as energy that you project from yourself
will establish a connection with the person you send it to. Both in
cursing and healing, for obvious reasons, this is undesirable. The
energy you use must be taken from the universe. It is very important
to master both evocation and invocation of the elements in order to
progress to advanced levels of ability.
Evoking Fire
Get into a trance and visualize you are in the middle of fire. Feel
the heat and hear the hissing and crackling of the flames and feel
the burning. Now, begin to collect and condense that fire into a
sphere in front of you. Draw the fire element from all directions
into the sphere in front of you. The more of the fire element you
direct into the sphere, the more dense, material, and hotter it will
become. You should feel the heat while you are doing this. The more
you compress and condense the fire, the more the heat will grow. You
should actually have the sensation of literally being in an oven.
Now dissolve the sphere of fire by visualizing it dissipating the
exact opposite of when you brought it together. Keep working at
visualizing it dissipating, losing its strength, power and heat and
eventually dissolving into nothing.
**
Evoking Air
Get into a trance and visualize you are in the middle of air, fill
the entire room with it. Draw the air from all directions
simultaneously into a sphere in front of you. Fill and pack the
sphere with the air element. You should feel very light, as though
you are floating.
When you are finished packing the air into the sphere, dissolve it
as you did with the fire sphere.
**
Evoking Water
Get into a trance and visualize you are in the middle of an ocean or
lake. Draw the water element from all directions. Feel the water at
first as a cold vapor, the closer you draw it to your body, as you
condense the water more and more, you should feel icy cold. Now,
pack the water element into a sphere in front of you and then
dissolve it, the same as you did with the fire and air. Let it
evaporate away into nothingness.
**
Evoking Earth
Get into a trance and draw a gray mass, similar to clay, from all
directions simultaneously. The closer you bring it to yourself, it
becomes browner and browner, rich like soil and more dense. Fill the
room entirely with the heavy mass of the earth element and visualize
it compacting into a sphere. Feel the heaviness and the gravity and
its pressure on your body. When finished, dissolve it as you did
with the other elements.
**
Evoke the element of fire again, but this time, have a glass of
tepid water in front of you and draw the fire from all directions
and condense it into the glass of water. It is best to use a clear
glass with this exercise. Imagine the water getting hotter and
hotter with the fire element.
If you are successful, the water will increase in temperature by a
few degrees. When finished, you can taste the water and it should
have an unusual taste to it if you were successful.
Later on, when you find you can raise the temperature of tepid
water, then work with colder and colder water and practice the same.
