Altered states of consciousness are the basis of the foundations of psychological and theurgic practices. With their help, it seems possible to subconsciously get closer to self-positioning, aspects of the perception of the world and one's place in it. Self-improvement and even self-healing may well be the result. These practices allow you not only to delve into your own microcosm, but also tirelessly comprehend completely atypical facets of life.
Instructions
Step 1
At the first stage, it is necessary to physiologically plunge into a state of peace and quiet. Then you should enter a more psychological phase of inner silence. This means that you are detached from everything that might occupy your thoughts. The vanity of the mortal world ceases to prevail over you. It is best to isolate from memory a certain image that carries a feeling of unclouded serene relaxation. These can be pleasant memories, abstract moments, or specific emotions associated, for example, with a calm relaxing melody, a light unobtrusive scent, and the like.
Do not make attempts to suppress thought processes, as this will cause a reverse relaxation of the reaction. The point is not to pause thoughts, trying to analyze them, marking them with "plus" or "minus" signs. Let them just smoothly sweep through your head, turning into a stream of flowing consciousness. Due to all of the above, you will be able to make the transition from gross materiality to a much more refined vision of the world as such.
Step 2
The first stage of the second phase involves the search in the nooks and crannies of the soul (in a state of inner silence) for something most attractive. Do not try to classify or comprehend it, just isolate from the flow of other and less significant. After making sure that it is the most suitable, begin to carefully envelop it in layers of thought forms. You have to come to the point where you understand exactly what this feeling is. As soon as the thought-form is finally formulated, you will immediately feel a global internal resonance in the form of an incomprehensible harmony between the chosen sensation and its interpretation.
Step 3
Next, you need to decide on the understanding of faith. You can start from the opposite. Imagine something completely untrustworthy. Then try to get the opposite out of that emotion. It is necessary to consider the mechanism of "belief" in the context of a change in the state of consciousness.
Step 4
The fourth step involves a combination of the previous three, including aspects specific to each of them. You should act in a measured and smooth manner, savoring every part of the psi-space you have recreated. In conditions of absolute focus on the chosen object, you will notice that your concentration moves into some non-identical space. Pay no close attention, just surrender yourself entirely to the stream of consciousness. If some psychological discomfort or a feeling of fear arises, relax your concentration a little, being distracted by something incidental or belonging to the physical world. This will allow you to slightly slow down the entry into the altered consciousness, making it possible to gradually master the changes taking place.
