II. DAY TWO: MEDITATION AND VISUALIZATION
The second day's concentration is on the mental aspects of magick
and ritual work, and is mostly in workshop form.
A. Meditation
Describe meditation as a means of altering your mental state by
relaxation and concentration. Contrast meditation and trance
state. Discuss the use of posture (asana) and paradoxical
breathing (pranayama) to attain a meditative state, then do a
few quick exercises.
B. Visualization(s)
Explain the difference between imagining and visualizing, then
stress the similarities. Stress the fact that visualization is
something that you will continually get better at - but there
is still no "wrong way." Then lead the students through the
following exercises:
1. Grounding and Centering
Using the seven chakras as steps along the way, guide them
to visualize energy being drawn up from the Earth and
blown through the tops of their heads (at the crown
chakra) in a free-flowing fountain. Then (if they seem up
to it), guide them to mold and direct that energy flow
into a circle, then a sphere of blinding white light.
Have them draw the circle back down through their spines
until it is returned to the Earth.
2. Contacting Your Magickal Self
Get them as relaxed as possible and in a deep meditative
state, then starting with a visualization of a Safe Place
in the forest, lead them to a fairy hill, then through the
Maze of the subconscious until they are somewhat lost.
Guide them to a long stairway, then through the door at
the top. Then set the mental setting - that at the
doorway they change into a powerful magician, and suddenly
all of the tools and symbols in the room are meaningful.
Instruct them to study the tools for a while. After a
minute or two, lead them back out through the maze, then
to the clearing, and wake them back up.
3. Aura Reading and Healing
a. Diagnosis
Guide them to ground and center (as II.B.1, above),
then stand in front of an evenly-lit white wall.
Have them open their eyes and stare at a point in the
distance beyond the instructor. (Note: this will for
some of them be the first time that they'll be
channeling power with their eyes open, so take your
time.) Instruct them to look for the greyish line
around me (that is actually an optical illusion).
Once they've found it, instruct them to visualize it
being replaced with a wash of color. Have them
examine it for variations in thickness or color.
b. Treatment
Point out an ill or sore region on the instructor's
body. Have them examine it for variations in color
or brilliance. Pick one student, then have him wrap
his hands in the energy that he's drawing, then
"tune" it to the color of the healthy areas in the
aura. Instruct him to use his hands as if he were
rubbing on oil or paint to color over the sick area,
visualizing the new color (healthy energy) replacing
the older area, and continue until the color stays
changed after he's no longer touching it or until he
gets tired.
