Nightside's Journal

And I realize yet another day has come and gone.

Yet you’ve made progress. Still a day worth spent.

Distractions:
Visualizing roots growing out of my feet and down into the ground, I see bugs and gnomes amd stuff, going deeper I go down further, experiencing water, fire, air and earth until I am in bedrock.
Then comes circulation of energy inhalations up right leg, exhalations down left leg, until it is natural.
I imagine a brighter green aura as I envision myself the color of a calm hulk.
The energy reverses, I have a realization now forgotten.
An exercise of breathing and grounding at the same time.
Breathing in silent out silent.

(The World Everlasting, Hail!)
Symbol as pentagram or circled Cross

S - Gaoth a Deas - Teine (South Wind)
W - Gaoth an Iar - Uisge (Water)

Before me, DON, Queen of the Heavens,
Behind me, LLYR, King of the Sea.
On my right hand, BRIGID, Lady of the ever-butning bush.

About me are NA DEATHAN (the Gods),
And in the center I’d CO-COTHROM (equilibrium).

Since I need lower left jaw teeth extractions and posts installed, I figured I might as well clench my jaws and smile with relaxed eyes and forehead. It does cause a shift.

Tmw …
I close my eyes and picture something (examples rose, cigarette, ocean) and try to have the smell come to me. Somewhere between cigarette and ocean I smelled watermelon clear as day. Wtf?

I see the lawn chair leaning forward against the patio table, close my eyes and see it clear as day. Cool. Perhaps with the smell thing, I’m onto something here.

Envisioning yellow energy ball from closed palms to hands five inches away can see fairly clear, and when fingertips nearly touch can feel something there.

Interesting in hindsight that yellow is the color of the sun, and that rose, cigarette and ocean are symbolic of air, fire and water. Watermelon is a product of the earth, is green and yellow, and that in that symbolic sequence, it intuitively placed earth before or after water.

What was I researching today … Sun, Earth. Hearing, touch. Somehow smell instead of hearing made touch stronger.

I might use that cross.

Was just trying to ground and ward at the same time, roots in the ground, transforming an orange aura to white, and mirrored outside. A couple minutes only though, but the focus was on the breath, the intention, and visualization. @Raven_Maleficus, is that a good technique, or do them separately for longer time periods?

Perhaps micro rituals – small rituals with one simple intent, added up over time would remove most roadblocks in any area, if constructed well enough.
