- The Mystical Pentagram is a technique which will enhance psychic
- self- awareness. Practiced on a daily basis it will produce surprizing
- individual results. One of the features of this technique is that it
- encourages personal development by allowing each entity to discover a
- personal mantra which corresponds to the five elements.
- To begin, you will need a table of correspondences such as "777"
- by Aleister Crowley. Look up the names of the gods and goddesses which
- correspond to the air element. Pick a name which when chanted 'feels'
- right for you. For example, Nu is the Egyptian lord of the firmament
- and corresponds to air. If I were inclined towards egyptian dieties, I
- would chant the name Nu for several minutes to see what effect
- transpired. If I felt relaxed, comfortable, and generally positive I
- would inwardly know that this name would be in tune with my inner
- self. Proceed to find correspondences for fire, water, and earth in
- the same manner and finally for spirit since it is the aggregate of
- the four common elements.
- Once you have found a personal mantra or a chant consisting of
- five names, vowel sounds, etc. You are ready to proceed with the
- practical application of the Mystical Pentagram.
- Assume your favorite meditation position, relax and begin to
- breathe in a rhythmic pattern; ie. inhale count one, two, three, four,
- exhale count one, two, three, four and so on. Continue to breathe in
- such a manner for about five minutes so that a definite rhythm is
- firmly established.
- Visualize the five psychic centers. Memorize their positions so
- that you become familiar with the positions.
- Next visualize a brilliant white light forming a circle above
- your head in the spirit center. Mentally draw a white light pentagram
- within the circle of light. This should be an invoking pentagram.
- If your mind should begin to wander, gently bring it back and
- vocally vibrate the mantra you have chosen for the spirit center. Let
- your mind dwell on this center and intone your mantra several times
- for at least five minutes.
- Next see a shaft of white light radiate down through your skull
- stopping at your throat near the adam's apple. See a circle of white
- light begin to form and pulsate. Mentally draw an invoking pentagram
- within the circle of light and vocally vibrate your chosen mantra for
- the air center. Continue to stimulate this center for at least five
- minutes.
- Now see a shaft of white light radiate down through your torso
- stopping at your fire center. This is located just above the navel.
- See a brilliant white light begin to pulsate at this center and draw
- an invoking pentagram within the circle of light. As your mind begins
- to wander gently guide it back to he image of the glowing white
- pentagram. Here vibrate your chosen fire mantra. Once this center is
- stimulated the sensation is unmistakable. A mild tingling or vibration
- of the solar-plexus area is physically experienced. Continue to dwell
- on this center for at least five minutes.
- See the shaft of white light push down tot the water center which
- is located in the groin area. Here, too, a brilliant circle of white
- light should be visualized. Again draw an invoking pentagram within
- the circle of light. Intone the mantra for the water center and
- repeat the sound several times for the next five minutes.
- Having arrived thus far, see the shaft of white light radiate
- down through your legs stopping at the bottom of your feet which is
- the earth center. Form a brilliant, white, pulsating circle of light
- and draw an invoking pentagram within the circle. Intone your earth
- mantra and vocally vibrate the sound several times during the next
- five minutes.
- When all of the energy centers have been stimulated, direct the
- light energy from the spirit center to the earth center. As you exhale
- see the light travel from the top of your head down through your body
- to the bottom of your feet. As you inhale see the energy travel from
- your feet up through your body up to the top of your head, the spirit
- center. These circulations should be persisted for at least seven
- complete circuits. See the energy cleanse and vitalize every part of
- your being and expand your awareness to cosmic consciousness. As you
- continue to repeat this technique each day you will begin to see and
- feel a change in your psychic awareness and a marked improvement in
- your health.
- Don't become discouraged if you don't achieve results
- immediately. This technique produces very positive effects but they
- are cummulative in nature. Be gentle with your inner self however you
- must also be persistent and keep the communication open. It is also a
- good idea to peform this exercise at the same time each day in order
- to allow your body cycles incorporate the energy flow in a natural
- order.
