Mapping The Inner Journey Of the countless forms of meditation we can use, journaling offers its own unique benefits. Most meditations help empty the mind of concerns and bring positive ideas from our mental landscape, but journaling helps us anchor that experience in the material world. Not every person is attracted to meditating in seated silence, and journal meditation is a nice alternative as an active meditation. It allows us to trace our journey and see where we have grown and what lessons we may be repeating. By employing a different part of the brain than creative or inspired thought, writing or typing a journal can create a greater sense of connection and union with our physical selves and the world around us. In working through challenges, it can be helpful to first empty all worries from our heads onto the safe pages of our journal. Fears can be brought to light rather than allowing them to haunt the dark corners of our subconscious. We may even feel heaviness dissipate once our heads are free from clutter, leaving space for inspiration and the creation of positive images in their place. Often in the process of writing out all the details of an event that troubles us, something that had been forgotten will come to the surface, providing a missing piece of the puzzle. Then we can truly begin to come up with answers, and write them down beside the worries to map the way from concern to constructive thought. For capturing guidance and flashes of inspiration, journaling is ideal. This is especially true in the case of dreams, which often fade as we awaken. While working toward goals, keeping track of progress as well as guidance from readings or divination tools can be encouraging. Though it can be difficult to keep all of our guidance in the front of our minds, if we write it down it can serve as a reminder whenever we need it. We can also use our journals to converse with our higher selves or even the universe. Journaling offers yet another way to unburden mind and spirit, while also creating a record of the present and preserving our hopes and dreams for the future.
Journaling As Meditation
Developing your magickal personality
DEVELOPING YOUR MAGICKAL PERSONALITY….
To begin building the magickal personality you must obtain a new,
unused ring,(I think if you have one you want to use thats fine, just
cleanse it in salt water and drain any posible energies from it)
Choose onethat is symbolic of magickal power to you, perhaps bearing
a
pentagram or other mystical symbol. In addition decide on a magickal
name for your new persona.(most of already have a magickal name just
use that one)In your minds eye see yourself with the power you
desire..we will be using the Triadic Elements.. Power, Compassion &
Wisdom…Meditate of each of these elements and get into a trance
like
state. And say this….
FOR POWER…
I call upon the Source of All Things,
to instill within me the power of magick,
through which I can draw down the moon,
call upon the goddess & Gods,
and manifest my desire in accordance with my will.
FOR COMPASSION
I call upon the Source of All Things,
to instill within me the awareness called compassion,
through which I can discern true will,
call upon my Higher Nature.
FOR WISDOM
I call upon the Source of All Things,
to instill within me the wisdom of forethought,
through which I may harm no one,
call upon my experience,
and manifest my desire to know, dare, will, and keep silent.
The next step is to visualize a silvery mist forming behind you.
Then
imagine a hooded, robed figure, exactly your size, appearing through
the mist so that it comes to stand directly behind you. At this
point
slip on your magick ring and mentally see the robed figure merge into
your body. Once this is firm in your mind, you will need to create
the alignment with words like the following..
I am _________ born of power, compoassion, and wisdom,
Through born of this world, my race is of the stars,
With harm to none I manifest my will,
and submit to my Higher Self,
To know, to dare, to will and to be silent.
behind you. Slowly begin to slip off the ring. As you do so,
visualize the robed figure seperating from you, moving back into the
mist. Visualize the mist fading away and then look around and ground
yourself. From this point on, the magickal personality must only be
allowed to come out only when YOU call it. When doing magick or
ritual, or protection when ever, just send it back and take off the
ring, back into the mist. ALWAYS stay in control never it!!
I just remembered a portion of one of my dreams… I was in an empty (but not abandoned) house somewhere. It looked like my apartment, but larger & with nothing in it. I remember feeling a need to cleanse the house, and I had raised my hands in the air, asking for someone or something to help me in cleansing.
