CHANTING AND MANTRAS.....PART 2.

LAST WEEK I TALKED ABOUT "CHANTING" THIS WEEK I WILL BE COVERING MORE ABOUT..."MANTRAS". HOW TO USE THEM FOE ANY MAGICKAL PURPOSE.

MANTRAS ARE DIFFERENT FROM CHANTS. CHANTING IS SUNG, WHERE AS MANTRAS ARE SPOKEN OR REPEATED SILENTLY. THE TWO ARE OFTEN INTERCHANGEABLE, BUT TO BE POLITICALLY CORRECT THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THING. I EXPLAINED THIS IN THE LAST POST OF DIFFERENT WAYS BOTH OF THESE ARE USED AND BY WHOM. NOW I WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO USE A MANTRA. FOR MAGICKAL SPELL-WORKING.

STEP ONE- KNOW YOUR INTENTION

STEP TWO- PICK OUT THE SOUND, WORD OR PHRASE YOU WANT TO USE TO ACHIEVE YOUR GOAL.

STEP THREE- VISUALIZE THE OUTCOME, NOT THE PROCESS OF GETTING THERE!! THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT....MANY OF US JUST FOCUS ON THE ISSUES AT HAND, THINKING EVERYTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE IN THE MOMENT. YOU MUST LOOK BEYOND. AS THE SAYING GOES...WALK BY FAITH NOT BY SIGHT!!! THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE IN MAGICK. SO DON'T FORGET IT!! EVEN I HAVE TO REMIND MYSELF OF THE BRASS RING AT THE END OF THE LONG, LONG TUNNEL.

STEP FOUR- LIGHT YOUR CANDLES AND INCENSE. SIT IN A COMFORTABLE PLACE OR LYE DOWN JUST DON'T FALL ASLEEP. TAKE MANY DEEP BREATHES TO HELP YOU FOCUS. THEN... WHEN YOU FEEL READY, INHALE AND MAKE THE SOUND OR SENTENCE YOU HAVE CHOSEN. REPEAT THIS OVER AND OVER FOR AS LONG AS YOU FEEL NECESSARY. REALLY FEEL THE "VIBES" LET IT MOVE YOU INTO THAT MAGICKAL REALM. KNOWING THAT YOU'RE DESIRES ARE BEING MANIFESTED ON THE PHYSICAL PLANE.

STEP FIVE- WHEN YOU FEEL THAT YOU ARE DONE FOR NOW, SLOWLY COUNT TO 5 AND BRING YOURSELF BACK TO AN AWAKEND STATE. BLOW OUT THE CANDLES, AND GO ABOUT YOUR DAY UNTIL THE NEXT TIME WHICH IS USUALLY WITHIN 24 HOURS. LISTEN TO YOU'RE GUT INSTINCT. IT WILL TELL YOU HOW LONG AND HOW OFTEN. TRY TO ENJOY THE PROCESS. DANCE WITH LIFE, DON'T FIGHT IT!!
