So I accidentally opened my third eye 🥲

[ekettera]

I was in bed last night having trouble sleeping last night but no trouble relaxing if that makes sense. I had read in E.A Koetting’s work about how the living imagination would cause sight behind my eyelids. I uh…it happened by accident. Entered a peaceful state and saw my room? Was able to “zoom” which I think means I soul traveled.

What do yall think?

[Mulberry]

Very nice! Sounds like you did astral travel. Hope that becomes a regular thing!

[ZombieDemon9000]

Dang!!!

Why don’t magick stuff work that easily for me?
I wish I could accidentally do all that.

[viginti_quattuor]

Its seems that OP was in a quasi altered state, between wakeful but relaxed (Alpha 13Hz-8Hz) and sleeping (Theta 7Hz-3.1Hz) If you can manage to recreate those settings you might be a step closer in duplicating the results of her experiment.

[ZombieDemon9000]

And even that is a huge stressful challenge for me.

[ekettera]

It’s fine bru. It took me 3 years to do something like that and even it was by accident. I recommend learning the seven hermetic principles especially the first one. It supercharged my confidence.

[viginti_quattuor]

Okay, did you ever tried trance work? I saw four interesting posts about that. By @DarkestKnight @Veil @AdamThoth and @anon54752045. I will search them up for you.

[ekettera]

Also if ur like me and have a tough time meditating try binural beats can’t do it without 'em.

[ZombieDemon9000]

I read the Trance work tutorial by DarkestKnight and learned all I could about trances but I always fail to actually enter a trance.

I even keep trying basic mindful breathing.
I can’t clear or focus my mind on meditation or anything else required in magick for less than half a second.

[viginti_quattuor]

Here there are I found them, OP @ekettera maybe you can incorporate some of the techniques to amplify your meditation or trance practices. For example, the Tratakam technique that @veil describes in her post. Having eyes closed and looking upwards. Third eye activator and induces a calm mind.

Tutorial: Trancework

Hey All, There are a lot of new magicians coming onto the forum, and I’ve noticed that some seem to be confused about the trance state required for magick so I thought I’d do a little info drop to help. We talk a lot about the Theta/Gamma Sync here, but I think it is important to point out that Theta is not necessary for most magick. All you really need is an Alpha state, which is fairly simple to achieve. A state as deep as Theta is only necessary for the full physical manifestation of spirits, or what is known as evocation. A simple rundown of the various brainwave states: Beta - this is your every day waking consciousness. Alpha - this is what is commonly called “deep relaxation” and is something that most people enter naturally when they watch TV or “zone out.” Theta - is a deep trance state and you pass through it every night as you fall asleep and again as you wake up. It is also called the hynogogic state or the “mind-awake, body-asleep” state. Delta - is the sleep state. If you are interested in the science of brainwaves and the exact HZ of each state, there is plenty of information available on the web but it is unnecessary for our purposes here. We all slide between Beta and Alpha all the time during the day, but what we need to learn for magick is how to consciously control it so we can use the state at will. To enter an Alpha state, we can use a few simple tricks. Progressive Relaxation - this is a method to relieve the surface tension of your body and…

My technique for meditation/trance, the void/the astral plane - and questions

Hello, potentially long post ahead. I wanted to share a meditation/trance technique that I essentially stumbled into not long ago, which has been working very reliably for me. It has also raised some questions which I would love to hear other people’s thoughts on. Lately I have been spending a good chunk of time roaming around my own brain in a meditative and/or trance state. Initially I thought of it as “meditation”, but after reading further, I believe “trance” is a better way of describing it. I will share the technique first: I get comfortable in a seated position, eyes closed. Headphones on, playing a binaural track - this one is my favourite: Detachment from Overthinking & Stress | Boost Positive Healing Energy | DEEP THETA Binaural Beats HD - YouTube Focus on steadily inhaling/exhaling for a few moments. If my thoughts wander, I detach myself from the thought by observing it without judgement, and bring my thoughts back to my breath. Eyes closed, and unfocused, fixed above my line of sight, in the middle-distance. Imagine it as fixing your gaze on your third eye, but from the inside of your skull. Interestingly I find that fixing your eyes in this way seems to mimic REM. In my mind’s eye, first-person perspective, I picture a white void with a plain white door. I open the door; inside is a black void, with a black staircase descending. I descend the staircase. In first-person I watch my feet tread down each step, and hear my breath steadily inhaling an…

Psychic Development for the Magician

I decided to go ahead and cut and paste some of my psychic development methods in it’s own thread as to not have to keep sending it via individual PM. I will start this off with the Original Void meditation. It’s what I have developed it to be the best sort of universal meditation to get you in the “zone” from where one can astral travel, spirit eavesdropping and many other activities one needs to be in a theta state. Binaural beats can be used to enhance the meditative state. This is it, though there are many claims of the void meditation this is the original. I will outline the procedure in an easy to follow step by step guide. The first phase involves achieving a state of ultimate relaxation. For this I will start us off with the 3 sun meditation. Now there are two ways to do the 3 star meditation. The first uses all three regular yellow suns the second uses a red, yellow, white star or sun. Thd choice is yours I simply added a color difference for the suns go speak to ths subconscious symbolically. The red represents the flesh earth and sensory and emotional mind. As you begin your meditation with the red sun you are telling your subconscious to relax that aspect of your mind and as the sun flows through your body from head to toe relaxing every muscle and tendon as it passes through you the aspect of your mind that is the red sensory mind is set at ease to further pull you into a deeper meditative state. As the red sun leaves below and the yellow aproaches from above…

What to do once in A Trance

What the titles Said I summoned Archangel Michael and Lilith Last month and I don’t which one of them was it but I felt in urge to learn how to get into a trance or to master a trance I bought a book the shows me how to get into one pretty much got it down now my question is what do you do when your in a trance all I feel is nothingness just me staring at the endless void which is darkness sometime images would play like a montage video and my dreams for some reason have become incredibly vivid after learning this My question is what do you do once you enter a trance

@ZombieDemon9000

Yeah, I don’t want to derail OP’s post (sorry @ekettera) but I had a conversation with one of those four I mentioned. And the person told me that the person had found out that a trance-inducing visualization is not the most optimal for them. So the person used a count-down method from 100 to one.

It is known that short videos (Tik Tok style media) will decrease the attention span of the users of such platforms.

There is a video from Satan and Son, it’s a guided meditation for focus and concentration with the help of King Azazel maybe it’s something that can help you?
I will dig it up for you.

[ekettera]

NP. I’m gonna check out some of these myself. I did my thing by accident, like I said. I’ll say again binural beats are a lifesaver. I have ADHD so meditation is rather hard.

[ZombieDemon9000]

@viginti_quattuor Thanks that sounds pretty good.

[viginti_quattuor]

Here I found it, I personally used this quite a bit the last three months. I think doing this daily will bring more results, instead doing it as a one timer.

Azazel's Meditation of Focus and Concentration (Spiritual Foundation Meditation)

[ZombieDemon9000]

Okay. Eventually I will try to watch this video.

It will be hard to use the video daily though.
Don’t really have a time of day or place for these guided meditation videos.

[ZombieDemon9000]

@viginti_quattuor The stuff by Veil looks like it might work although somehow it’s hard for me to visualize a staircase like that…or more specifically it’s hard to visualize myself walking up or down stairs.

[ZombieDemon9000]

@ekettera I might try to find a time for seeing how well binaural beats work.

[viginti_quattuor]

@ekettera

I’m gonna check out some of these myself

Hell yeah buddy

@ekettera

like I said. I’ll say again binural beats are a lifesaver. I have ADHD so meditation is rather hard

What frequency range do you use for your meditation practice and did you experiment with other bandwidths?

[ekettera]

I use an android app call atmosphere. They have a theta binural with a 4.5 hz frequency.

[viginti_quattuor]

Yes practice is the key, you do not have to have extremly clear sight, altough that would help enormously. Based on my own observations it works even when you are not able to see it clear as the physical word.

I edited portions of the gateway files from Hemi Sync and shared it with the boys at Reddit. People loved that, talking about entering in stupid deep trance states, fading in and out of consciousness.
