My name is Demetria. I am 22 y/o, about to graduate from college, and diving headfirst into this spiritual awakening that I'm having. I am relatively new to witchcraft, but have been researching and experimenting with grounding, meditation, energy raising, cleansing, protection, crystals, tarot, candle magick, herbalism, intentions, and visualization. Visualization is really difficult for me and I am trying to practice it as much as I can because I know how central it is to..well, everything.
I would love any help, guidance, or kindness anyone can show me! I am eager to learn, explore, and talk with others.
There are some good books on guided meditation that you could look into :) And if you're on a budget, the section you want in a library (if they're Dewey Decimal) is 133.4. Visualization is going to come from your third eye chakra, so it wouldn't be a bad idea familiarizing yourself with the chakras as well. Good luck!
Hello,
It’s amazing to see others like me. I am on a similar path as you as well as a similar stage. I may not be able to give you as much knowledge as others, but I wanted to reach out. Feel free to message me at any time. Perhaps we could compare notes and discuss topics of interest.
Merry meet! I'm new to witchcraft and spell work too. I am excited to connect with others that are just starting out on their own personal spiritual pathway also! :)
Maybe start with simple visualizations...like picture a triangle in your mind. Usually, the mind will try to distort it somehow, changing angles, size, color, bending it...just ignore those and return to a simple equilateral triangle each time it tries to distort. (or circle, cross, whatever simple shape)...
when you can hold the shape for 2-5 minutes with minimal distortion, try to hold it in the mind as also being a certain color. or try to slowly rotate it in circles.
Then, try to imagine the shape is on the floor in front of you...you are no longer visualizing it in your mind, you are now projecting the imaginary shape onto the floor in front of you. (like when a child plays make believe and imagines a stick is a sword, or that the floor is lava)...
I find the real useful technique is the projection of an imagined thing into a specific space...the floor, the wall, around you, somewhere inside you (like a chakra)...
