Learn how to meditate, ie, polish that wand before you attempt to use it.<br />Thanks SM.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2581526970771599336.post-65371074756282770292012-06-14T17:29:14.448-05:002012-06-14T17:29:14.448-05:00I agree with Lord SM and Lady GF but like to add g...I agree with Lord SM and Lady GF but like to add getting off your lazy butts and getting back in touch with the earth.Go touch it breath it and become familiar with it.Which to come think of it this proabably goes with ecology.SquirrelHeadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13416099218702829354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2581526970771599336.post-67867033622991412922012-06-14T11:26:41.174-05:002012-06-14T11:26:41.174-05:00YES to all of these. YES. And I must add a sixth: ...YES to all of these. YES. And I must add a sixth: cultivation of the physical self. I am obviously not the great avatar of being in shape, but I know the human body pretty well, both its matter and its spirit sides. Entering trance, meditating, and raising energy all become *much* more difficult when the tissues are stiff and irritated from disuse, positional fatigue, abuse, and too many inflammatory substances, such as too much sugar, not enough water, cigarette smoke, etc. Why? Because energy is conducted, amplified, and transformed through these tissues.<br /><br />Yoga was invented largely to allow the physical self to unlock its energetic basis and carry the mind into another state of being. Tai chi and qi gong are other forms of physical cultivation. The Western Mysteries greatly neglect this aspect of life although interestingly, Aleister Crowley was a yoga master, and even Gerald Gardner's scourging was an energetic practice. <br /><br />How often do we stagger into circle after sitting behind a desk all day, or standing on a concrete floor all day, and expect that the energy of our minds and bodies will flow freely when in truth it is all locked up? Yet ask a witch to do three minutes of stretches and breathing, and see the negative responses you get.CuriousWitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06731801258325526536noreply@blogger.com
