The Pattern on the Trestleboard
This Is Truth About The Self
-
All the Power that ever was or will be is here now.
-
I am a center of expression for the Primal Will-to-Good which eternally creates and sustains the Universe.
-
Through me its unfailing Wisdom takes form in thought and word.
-
Filled with Understanding of its perfect law, I am guided, moment by moment, along the path of liberation.
-
From the exhaustless riches of its Limitless Substance, I draw all things needful, both spiritual and material.
-
I recognize the manifestation of the Undeviating Justice in all the circumstances of my life.
-
In all things, great and small, I see the Beauty of the Divine Expression.
-
Living from that Will, supported by its unfailing Wisdom and Understanding, mine is the Victorious Life.
-
I look forward with confidence to the perfect realization of the Eternal Splendor of the Limitless Light.
-
In thought and word and deed, I rest my life, from day to day, upon the sure Foundation of Eternal Being.
-
The Kingdom of Spirit is embodied in my flesh.

2h
Sacral, Heart, and 3rd eye seem a little dim. I tried only checking chakras and your energy body but I’m also seeing plants and life itself like an evolution clip in movies.
My heart felt this really big, stressful pressure while scanning you, also heard “blood pressure”.
The little bit of trouble with the third eye also seems to stem (or is quite related to) something caused by the root chakra, anxiety, feeling vulnerable, etc. This is affecting your mood, and therefore your heart too.
There’s a sense of dissociation here, not from the world but yourself.
Your energy isn’t too active or too inactive, “rampant” is the word that comes to mind. Very chaotic and not grounded properly.
For your energy body, it looks like there’s trouble with your upper arms, and thighs. Heavy weight, lifting too much? Either being overdone, or improperly.
Hearing breathing problems or hyperventilation because of anxiety. A little bit of brain fog.
Energy is moving in different directions and not in an ordered way it seems.
There’s need for balancing the lower chakras a bit more than upper.
That’s all I’m getting. It’s been some time since I scanned energy bodies, I hope this helped.

Sense Awareness Techniques:
For the duration of a week, take a walk and make a mental note of everything you see, not focusing on anything in particular. Do not attempt to analyze or make judgments; merely observe. Keep a journal of your observations. Take note of everything concerning this object. By color of day and associated planet and symbolism.
Preliminary Meditative Work
Daily Awareness Exercises:
Darkness Technique:
Before the commencement of any meditation, breathe deeply and rhythmically. Cover your eyes with the palms of your hands; overlapping the fingers of one hand with the other. You should experience total darkness.
Sense Awareness Techniques:
For the duration of a week, take a daily walk and make a mental note of everything you see, not focusing on anything in particular. Do not attempt to analyze or make judgments; merely observe. Keep a journal of your observations.
For the following week, take a daily walk and stop, deliberately focusing in on one particular object. Take note of everything concerning this object.
On the following week of daily walking, try to look for a single color each day.
On Sunday look for orange; Monday-blue, Tuesday- red, Wednesday yellow, Thursday-violet, Friday-green, Saturday-blue-violet (indigo).
For one week concentrate on the various sounds that are heard on the daily walk. Stop at certain times and close your eyes, so that the faculty of sight does not interfere with this exercise. Do not attempt to analyze or make judgments; merely take note.
For the following week, take a daily walk and stop, deliberately focusing in on one particular sound. Take note of everything concerning this sound.
For one week, take note of different tactile or touch sensations that you encounter during the course of a day. Stop at certain times and close your eyes, so that the faculty of sight does not interfere with this exercise.
For one week, take note of every taste that you encounter during the course of a day. Stop at certain times and close your eyes, so that the faculty of sight does not interfere with your sense of taste. For the following week, focus on one particular taste.
For one week, take note of every smell that you encounter. Stop at certain times and close your eyes, so that the faculty of sight does not interfere with your sense of smell. For the following week, focus on one particular smell.
Exercise:
It is vitally important that in the quest to exalt the health of the Spirit, the student does not neglect the health of the body. Physical well-being and endurance are essential to the magician who wishes to perform lengthy rituals as well as Astral work.
During this probationary period, the student should begin a regular discipline of exercise to maintain physical fitness. We leave the choice of exercise to the individual student; swimming, biking, jogging, martial arts, aerobics, yoga or some other. Israel Regardie recommended that the student perform certain exercisesthat are designed to raise both the physical and psychic vitality of the practitioner. They are taken from a small pamphlet by Peter Kelder called The Five Rites of Rejuvenation or The Eye of Revelation. These exercises can also be found in Donald Michael Kraig’s book Modern Magick (pages 222-229).
Whatever form of exercise is undertaken, the student should never overwork to the point of strain. If one is not used to exercise, begin slowly and gradually. If health concerns are an issue, consult a doctor before commencing any form
of physical exertion.
Visualization Exercise:
Spend a few moments of each day in this exercise. Begin with the eyes closed and
relax, breathing deeply and rhythmically. Then open your eyes and gaze into the palm of your left hand. Imagine a small yellow lump of a non-sticking substance formulating in your hand. It is somewhat clay-like and elastic in consistency. Cup your right hand over the other and press this yellow substance as if you were making a hamburger patty. Then begin to roll the substance between your hands as if you were making a meatball. When the image of the yellow ball of astral substance is very clear within your mind, place it somewhere near you. Repeat this technique three more times, forming next a red ball, a blue ball and finally a black ball.
When finished, place all four balls in a row. Visualize them strongly. Then concentrate on dissolving the balls one by one, starting with the black ball, followed by blue, red and finally yellow. See the area where the balls were-placed as totally clear of the astral substance.
