- Find a quiet, semi-dark, or dark room.
- Recommended are headphones, but speakers also suffice.
- Lay down, or sit in a chair, WITHOUT MOVING A MUSCLE! Eyes closed. This is a much deeper practice, but for now, realize you must not move other than breathing, and relax into this non-moving state as much as possible.
- Because clearing the mind of thought can be extremely challenging to new people trying out magick, we are going to "cheat" a little, by using this
- Repetitive? Yep. Boring? I hope so. This constant beat gives your mind something to focus on that will hopefully put it into a gnostic state. Focus on the drums and how they sound, try not to think of anything. This includes work, that new girl at the office, how bad you want to move your big toe, whats for dinner, etc. Just listen. If your mind wanders, thats ok, just slowly reign it back into listening only.
- Right as you begin the music and lay down/sit, say aloud or in your mind "This my wish, to see my spirit animal", or "I will see my spirit animal".
You might begin to see things other than animals, at first, but let these pass, and continue on. You will know what thoughts you are making that are distractions, versus what your mind is doing because of the gnostic state. Many people report various things, native americans dancing around a fire at night, then visions of animals, some see through the eyes of animals, etc.
