Your Quiet Time

This page is designed to assist you in learning how to meditate, cleanse yourself, ground yourself and/or add energies to your spellwork. In order to gain the benefit of the intent of this section, please read the entire page before deciding it doesn't answer your questions. *s*
  • Find a quiet area where you will not be disturbed.

  • Do not use music, as you will find yourself meditating on the musick and not the project at hand.

  • If you must remain at home, unplug the phone, put up a sign on your door and turn off everything.

  • Olefactory elements sometimes set the mood. Light a scented candle or incense. Choose something appropriate for the project on which you are currently working.

  • Clear your mind of all thoughts except what you need to concentrate/meditate on. Keep that foremost in your mind, and open that state of consciousness which will allow you to WILL your project into a state of Being.

    Ok. I said earlier not to use music, unless it is purely instrumental. Do not use anything with lyrics as they will distract you, unless you have an appropriate song which will actually ASSIST you in your visualizations, then by all means...use it. However, if you will have to stop and rewind a tape, or listen to other songs afterward, I do not suggest its use. Your visualization is the key to any magickal endeavor. The quality of your spellwork does greatly rely upon your visualization techniques. Personally, I use meditation as a "Visualization Exercise" during which I strengthen and "sure up" my spellwork done in the previous day or to be done soon after.

    Also, you can try many different methods to your meditations. You can concentrate on spellwork, or on simply cleansing your mind/spirit. But this is the ultimate time to charge your old grey Delco and bring energies into yourself.

    Charging Your Batteries

    With eyes closed, in that quiet place where you will not be disturbed, picture in your mind tiny pinpoints of lights floating, swirling about your area, here and there. See these pinpoints of light as energies. Choose the color you need. I choose purple as charging energies, green as learning energies, blue as healing energies, pink as love energies, and so on. Many choose white as charging energies. You choose what you feel is right for you.

    Call to those energies. See the color you've chosen swarming you, swirling all about you, as the others remain about 6 feet away. The color you've chosen, begins to light on you, slowly covering you in their energies, until you are literally awash in them. Now, begin deep-breathing, SLOWLY breathing IN the good air, ie... air full of the energies you've chosen, and OUT with the BAD air, ie... negativity (grey), hate (dark red), and illness (yellowed green). Continue to do this, slowly breathing deeply into your gut *NOT YOUR CHEST*, until you can feel the new, good energies streaming through you.

    When you're fully charged, you'll feel it in the palms of your hands, and the bottoms of your feet. You'll feel better than after a good night's rest and multiple vitamins for a week. *s* Thank the energies for giving of themselves and GENTLY use your hand to scrape off the excess, as you would carefully rake off a bee swarm which had enveloped you, but is not stinging you. Lightly shake your hand to set them free of your magnetic pull on them. When you are done, breathe normally for a few moments, letting your new energies assimilate themselves into your being.

    See them floating in your blood, pumping through your heart, enveloping your soul. You are now ready to perform magick or just go do that task you have been putting off.

    I like to meditate in the tub. Floating candles, chanting on the CD player, phone unplugged, Do Not Disturb sign on the door....maybe even a little something to stimulate the chanelling/creative abilities I possess. A friend uses a frozen strawberry daquiri. Personally, I don't drink, but that is a suggestion.

    A friend, likes to be outside, preferably on a mountaintop, "...letting the wind take everything away." My husband, geryn, stands in a mountain stream and lets the cleansing water do the same to his soul, mind and spirit. Any method which works for you is fine. Some people drive to achieve the mind-clearing while other find driving to be a distraction...

    When cleansing or centering yourself, the trick is to not "do" anything. Make and keep your mind focussed on nothing. Ground and center yourself by totally clearing your mind of all conscious thought and opening yourself fully to the energies that are around you.

    For everyone the techniques which work best are very different. It's finding the method that's right for you that's the work. But the greater effort you put into your meditations, the greater rewards you will receive.
