The Basics: Expanded

Thanks for giving newbies (Like me) the Info and stuff to practice!

Very informative. Thank you!

This was really helpful

This lays the foundation I least expected to see, and am so thrilled to be a part of. I have finally arrived.

Thank you very much for your help. It's a nice starter for newbies like me. ^_^

indeed right, i agreed,
this topic helped me more understanding the basics more than other sources.

thanx alot for this topic!

Ok say I have been practicing for many years and due to changes in my life I have had to thicken the veil between this realm and the next. (Like being in the Army) I had to shut down. Now before I was able to see and do wonderous things and when I was out and ready I've had a spiritual block. What are the steps to reopening the door ways?

Thank you

I'm a little surprised that Grounding, Centering and Shielding are not included among the basics as those are the first thigns I teach anyone taht wants to be my student.

Grounding and centering should have been included in a discussion of energy. That being said, I don't delve too much into exploring "energy" and the various methodology here because once one is actually doing such things and not simply imagining it one should likely have read more than vague concepts of the basics.

I didn't delve too much into shielding because it quite easily becomes quite the debatable subject, and there are many different approaches to it depending on the tradition.

The intent of this is to basically try to cover of the points where I feel many folks seem to be lost when first beginning their studies. The rest comes with practice and education. This is by no means a beginners course.
