Meditation

Meditation 

Meditation is an important art for inducing total relaxation. Too few of us find a moment of freedom from tensions and worries, so meditation is a welcome relief from the cares and frustrations of everyday living. More importantly, it's a quiet time in which we commune with the Goddess, the God, and ourselves, relaxing the conscious mind's hold on our psychic awareness. 


Meditation usually precedes every magical act and rite of worship. Sitting is the ideal position for meditation, especially for those who tend to fall asleep during this practice. Sit in on a chair, stool or floor supporting your lower back with a pillow, if necessary. Your chin should be leveled with the floor, eyes closed, back straight, hands resting on your knees, palms up, and fingers relaxed. In this position you should be comfortable and relaxed, the spine straight, and the torso erect. If you have poor posture, it may be some time before this position becomes comfortable. Persevere. Breathe deeply for several minutes. Relax. Forget.Visualize the multitude of tensions and worries of your everyday life exiting your body with your breath. Relax. 








Now open your consciousness. Allow your conscious mind to be receptive and alert. Commune and talk with the deities. Toss around symbols in your head. If you wish, chant one of the names of the Goddess or God, or a group of them. This is an excellent tool for slipping into the twilight world. 

Select your time and place for meditation with care. Light should be subdued; candlelight is excellent. Burn white or blue candles If you wish. A bit of incense is fine too, but too much smoke can (obviously) cause problems during deep breathing. Immediately after each meditation, 

record all images, thoughts, and sensations in your mirror book.









Blue: A blue candle represents the element of water. It is used in spells to  awaken the psychic mind, Tranquility, Health and Patience.


Incenses for Meditation: Jasmine(Dream Magic), Lotus(Meditation), Vanilla(Mental Clarity), Frankincense(spirituality), Ginger(spirituality)

Look at the images and play a slow music or meditation music n the background. When we are focusing at the center of the picture, we might feel it rotating either in clockwise or counterclockwise  direction. We should, however, keep looking at it. Once we are able to see it with our closed eyes, we should do it and can see that our concentration is improving. We can also see that our meditation is improving and we are able to increase time and our inner energy with the help of these deep meditations.
