With enough practice, the process of receiving messages from the supernatural into the subconscious can be a very powerful and impactful experience. Whether you want to deepen your understanding of yourself, or you want to communicate with beings from other realms, you can learn to limit the scope of your investigations, reach a trance state, and find a guide to help you on your journey of life, so that your life be safe and productive. See Step 1 to find out more.
Step
Part 1 of 5: Starting the Investigation
Step 1. Make a choice, whether you want to know yourself more deeply or want to communicate with the spirit world
Various traditions also use the word "connection with the supernatural" (channeling) in different ways. Some people focus outward to communicate with other beings, while others focus inward to get to know themselves better. Depending on your interests and goals, this choice can lead you to different traditions, rituals and practices, although most involve a similar process, namely being in a trance state and communicating with a being from another realm.
- In communicating with the supernatural, the goal is to make contact with the spirit world and communicate with the spirits. The communicators of the occult often want to connect with relatives or famous figures or other people who have died. The methods we know today, using crystal balls and Ouija boards, became popular among occultists in the mid to late 19th century. While this kind of paid psychic service is highly regarded by scholars as a form of trickery to trap wealthy clients, the practice of communicating with the spirit world has taken root and has grown far beyond Victorian expectations.
- Communication of the supernatural through consciousness is a more recent phenomenon. In some New Age philosophies, the perpetrator will meditate and try to visualize images that are manifestations of his own subconscious, figures from previous lives, or things that represent psychological trauma. This image will often guide the perpetrator through various interactions and communications aimed at healing his spirit and getting to know himself more deeply.
Step 2. Be open to unfamiliar phenomena
Whether you're looking to find solace and understanding by consulting an astrologer, or you're inquiring about life and death, it's important to be clear about your goals and be realistic. To begin a journey of contact with the supernatural, you need to stay committed even if the way the messages you receive are interpreted often seem strange, confusing or mysterious. The more adept you become at receiving and interpreting the messages, the more you will benefit from the experience.
- Accept the mystery that appears. Anyone who has ever cracked an iChing cipher or attempted to learn Tarot knowledge knows that dealing with the supernatural can be a complex and exhausting process. It's not like what we see in the movies, where the candles flicker and we hear the voice of a long-deceased relative. Have specific questions in mind-specific things you want to know-then accept that you may not get the answers you're looking for.
- Be serious. If you want to use your Ouija board to ask the spirits of the dead about the smell of farts in the supernatural, you'd better spend your time on more useful things. Connecting with the supernatural will only work if the perpetrator is completely committed and open to the possibility of finding new understandings of oneself and new awareness that may be difficult to understand or believe.
- Learn occult symbols. Usually this kind of process involves interpreting various symbols, so it is very important to do enough research before you start doing it, in order to get the maximum benefit. Joseph Campbell's The Hero with a Thousand Faces and Colin Wilson's The Occult are excellent starting points for getting to know the ideas and images you need to understand. James Merrill's modern epic entitled "The Changing Light at Sandover" tells of his communication with a spirit named Ephraim.
Step 3. Ask specifically
All methods of dealing with the occult require you to have specific questions of your guiding spirit or your subconscious. Rarely does a guiding spirit-inside and outside yourself-answer questions that are not serious, dishonest or playful. Therefore, you need to think about and prepare the right questions that will be answered completely.
- Be specific, but not too specific. Questions like "Does Budi really hate me when I come late to work?" better ask the ordinary magic ball. Your questions should be open enough that the answers will become complex and personal enough for you, for example: "How can I get better at work?"
- One question will lead to another question. If you are asking about yourself at work, let that question lead to further questions, so that you look for answers that may come up in your investigation. Who am I at work? What does work mean to me? How should I view work? What does a worker mean? These are the questions that might come up after your first question. Try to find answers to questions you didn't ask.
Step 4. Start recording your dreams regularly in a journal
Once you start the journey into your own mind, it can be difficult to separate the waking state from the dream state. Symbols will appear all around you at the most unexpected moments. This is a good thing! You just need to be always ready to catch those symbols and analyze them later. So writing this dream or process of contact with consciousness in a journal will be an excellent aid to your investigations.
Place a small notebook beside your bed. When you wake up from a dream, even if the dream is very boring or not at all special, immediately write down everything you remember from the dream. What do you see? What do you feel? What's in that dream? This kind of interpretation, along with attention to all the details, will be useful for your communication process with the supernatural
Part 2 of 5: Entering a Trance State
Step 1. Meditate deeply, focusing on your breathing
Find a quiet, comfortable and suitable place to meditate. Sit in a comfortable position with your body straight and your back straight, on the floor or in a chair with a straight back. Use soft, natural light, without distracting noises. Close your eyes and focus on an intermediate distance–such as a blank wall or a fixed spot.
- Clarify the purpose of this meditation by chanting a mantra such as, "I will go into a trance state and I will come back to my senses by fully remembering what I experienced. I will reach a deeper and deeper trance state with constant practice."
- You don't have to sit cross-legged in the middle of a crossroads or sit in front of a goat's skull and a candle. You just need to focus on your comfort, and enter into a kind of trance state, without thinking about the weird details you've seen in the movies.
Step 2. Focus on your breath
Sit quietly and take a deep breath. Feel the inhalation and exhalation of your body. Feel the air entering your lungs, filling them with healthy oxygen, then escaping back into the world around you. Inhale and exhale your breath. Don't do anything else, just breathe. Let the thoughts come and go, don't pay attention to them. Just focus on breathing.
Step 3. Use the power of suggestion to slow down your body's rhythm
To go deeper into a trance, start with one part of your body, such as your left hand. While breathing, feel the air entering your body in the left hand. Shift your awareness to your left hand, and focus your energy on letting your left hand relax. Say, "My left hand is relaxed, my left hand is relaxed."
- Transfer the relaxed state to your left hand, then to your right hand, to your right arm, to your legs one at a time. Take 30-60 seconds for each part of the body, focusing on mindfulness and complete relaxation. Wait until you can feel that part of your body completely relaxed before moving on to another part of your body.
- Once your body relaxes, feel the weight weighing on your body. After relaxing your body, you should begin to feel a heavy weight, as if your body was covered with blankets or buried in sand. Similarly, develop an awareness of each member of the body, for example starting with your left hand, then focus your energy on filling it with this heaviness. The left hand should remain relaxed. Say, "My left hand is heavy." Take 30-60 seconds to focus on each body part in the same way.
- After feeling the weight, feel the warmth. By the same principle, move around your entire body and warm each limb by saying, "My left hand is warm." Focus your energies on achieving truly warm conditions, such as in a hot tub, or placing a heater on each part of your body. Your body should feel completely comfortable, but you shouldn't be sleepy.
Step 4. End each trance meditation slowly
When Ada decides to return to normal consciousness, focus on your fingers and toes, move them and then return them to their normal state. Feel your body slowly cool down again, then look around the room and bring your mind back to normal as well. Stand up and walk a little when your body feels normal again.
Don't jump right in and walk quickly – if you've been sitting for a long time, your muscles may become "drowsy" and moving quickly will give you cramps. This will be bad for mindfulness meditation
Step 5. Deepen the trance level gradually with practice
The goal of trance is to blur the boundaries between your body, your consciousness and the world around you. Move through the steps described above to slowly reach a trance, focusing on calming your body. Train your body into this trance-like state for a few days before you try to deepen the trance or try to connect with the supernatural in any way. You must follow this process if you want to get results.
- Everything may seem slow at first, but as you begin to progress, you'll notice that the previous stages get easier and easier. If you focus on warming your left hand, you may notice that your right hand is warming up at the same time, or that both arms are warming up as well. This is a good sign that you can train your mind and body more quickly to reach a trance state.
- When you are ready to enter a deeper level of consciousness, do the next stage in your trance state: feel your forehead cool. In many traditions, the "third eye" is located in the center of your forehead and signifies a connection between yourself and the subconscious or the supernatural. Separate this part of your body by saying, "My forehead feels cold."
Step 6. Test the power of your consciousness
If you want to start seeing results and recognize how strong a connection you have with the supernatural, try doing this experiment: set a specific time for you to wake up, and keep in your mind that that time is the end of trance meditation. After cooling your third eye, focus on the time you have set by saying, "I'll be up at 6:00 tomorrow morning." Don't set an alarm clock and try to sleep as usual.
Step 7. Practice visualization
After much practice to enter a trance state, you will begin to feel comfortable entering and exiting that state. If you are more advanced, you can start exploring in that state. This is the beginning of actual contact with the supernatural. But before finding a guiding spirit or source, take time to practice visualization and discover the deeper layers of consciousness.
- Visualize objects and colors. After cooling the third eye, allow your subconscious to bring out a certain color. Say, "I see blue," and repeat this word over and over until the color sticks in your mind and you actually see blue. At first, it may seem like a mixture of different colors, but keep practicing until you can "see" what your mind is telling you to see.
- You can use objects to represent existing colors, such as pens or cars. Look at that blue pen. Keep watching. Feel the weight in your hands and try to "use it." Take some time to visualize different colors and objects before moving on to the next step.
Step 8. Visualize yourself falling deeper
The psychic or occult communicators use various forms of practice to dive deeper and allow the subconscious to take control. This is an important way to have deeper contact with the supernatural, and you will feel quite exhausted when you return from a trance like this.
- Fall from the stairs into the vacuum. Visualize yourself climbing a ladder in the dark. Your body should feel warm and comfortable. Keep going up the ladder for a few moments, then throw the ladder away. Feel yourself fall into a vacuum. If you feel dizzy or disoriented, return to focusing on body awareness until you feel warm and comfortable again.
- Imagine you are going down in an elevator. Some of the communicators of the occult have succeeded in visualizing the elevator moving down along the surface of the stone wall indefinitely. Imagine this elevator has walls made of glass so you can see out: on three sides there is only darkness, and on one side there is a rock cliff with small cracks. Visualize all of this in as much detail as possible and keep moving down the elevator.
- Fall in your own way. There's no single right way to visualize, so you can use the one that's most comfortable for you. Some performers prefer visualizations such as a feather falling flying, or a circle of smoke, or descending a very long rope.
Part 3 of 5: Finding a Guiding Spirit with Visualization
Step 1. Stop controlling your visualization
As you progress in trance meditation, you may find that it becomes easier to "control" your visualization, and that visualization can happen without you being able to stop it. Let it be. This is a sign that you have moved deep enough to find a guiding spirit for your investigation.
Different traditions use different names for this condition: if you want to call it "emptying oneself" or "entering the spirit world", you are correct. You don't really need to use any designation, but you can also use any designation you want
Step 2. Visualize a place
After falling down a flight of stairs or descending deeper into your level of consciousness with trance meditation, position yourself in a comfortable place. Take the time to explore the place. Observe as many details as possible in the dream while awake. Focus your energies on putting yourself in that space and really being there.
In some New Age traditions, it is recommended that you place esoteric crystals and gold-colored pillows. Other traditions advise you to imagine a rough lump of wood straight from Tolkien. Just follow. There is no right place for this
Step 3. Let someone else into the place
Visualize someone you know and observe their behavior as they enter your premises. Leave it alone, but observe him and his behavior. If your subconscious gives rise to people you don't know or don't recognize, observe these people in particular and remember their faces and gestures. You know now that you are knocking on the door of communication with the supernatural, because you are starting to interact with people you don't know.
- Pay special attention to the gestures and words of the people who appear, or the images that appear. When you wake up from a trance, immediately write down all the details. Things that seem "unreasonable" to you at the time often require further observation and analysis. That is communication with the supernatural.
- Again, if you want to refer to these appearing figures as "spirits from another dimension" or "angels" or "voices from DNA", all of these are fine. Choose a designation or description that makes the most sense to you, and listen to what they have to say about themselves. There is no right or wrong when you are in touch with the supernatural and with your own subconscious.
Step 4. Find a person who is willing to talk to you
Over time, you will notice that these figures may even approach you first. This can happen instantly, or even after a long time. Allow them to approach you and interact with them. Talk to them.
- Be honest with your real intentions. Tell the person what you're coming for and what you're looking for. Ask if they would like to help you and are willing to guide you in your investigation. If the person doesn't agree, ask him to leave and continue with your practice.
- Make a deal. Ask questions you've been meditating on for a long time, or ask them to point out things they'd like to show you. Together, decide how you will communicate with each other. Let this guiding spirit do its job: guide you. Don't do anything that's comfortable for you, but allow the coach to take control and point out what he wants you to know.
Step 5. Look for symbols and symbols that you need to interpret
Your questions may have already been answered, and it is up to you to pay attention to what has been shown to you. The more time you take to study common occult symbols and principles, the more precise your subconscious observations and occult communication will be. Everything will appear very clear.
If you suddenly see crawling lobsters and lions turning their heads back, you might spontaneously come out of a trance and think it's dangerous. But don't stop there. Lobsters do appear on the Moon Tarot cards, and symbolize the energy of the moon and the subconscious, while lions also appear and symbolize Strength. What's the deal? You can decide for yourself
Part 4 of 5: Choosing a Communication Media
Step 1. Use a Ouija board
If you have found a guiding spirit or center of your own subconscious after deep meditation and constant practice, you may want to use a simpler and more concise way to communicate with the supernatural, without meditating for hours in search of spirits. that. Ouija board helps us to make the process of communication and delivery of messages quickly. It's also an excellent way to involve the other party in your investigation, introduce them to your guiding spirit and allow for mutual conversation.
Meditate on your specific request or question, get your point across clearly and allow contact to occur. All parties involved must place their hands on the message communication section in the center of the board, then allow the device to move and spell out the answer to your question
Step 2. Experiment with different methods of occult contact
Over the centuries, experienced psychics have used various methods to communicate with guiding spirits with certain objects, such as crystals, stones, smoke, and even bones. There are hundreds of methods you can choose from, and your spirit guide will probably suggest his preferred method of communication.
- Capnomancy is the practice of reading patterns of moving smoke to interpret messages from the supernatural. Burn sage or jasmine, laurel leaves, or frankincense, according to your preference and tradition, then observe the smoke as part of your meditation. Let the symbols present themselves.
- Sciomancy is the study of the shadows of symbols. A headless shadow is usually interpreted as something dark and dangerous, although this danger shouldn't discourage you from running away from this method of communication. Use candles as part of your meditation, then observe the shadows that appear on the walls of the room, as symbols and messages will emerge from those shadows.
- Scrying is a technical term used to describe the practice of observing a crystal ball to find future predictions or symbols. You don't need to have an expensive crystal ball to do scrying, but a common practice is to look into a bowl of water, glass or other reflective transparent surface.
Step 3. Try EVP (electronic voice phenomenon), trumpet, or other communication method by voice
If you are more interested in the voices emitted by the spirit world, this method of communication by capturing sounds may be a good fit for your investigation.
- In communication with the trumpet, there is a phenomenon called "direct sound", and this is the desired result of the consultation process with the supernatural. This trumpet is actually an ordinary trumpet in the shape of a cone 30-60 cm long and made of aluminum, which is used to transmit the ectoplasmic vibrations of the guiding spirit.
- In the EVP (electronic voice phenomenon) method, you can record the sound that appears with the recording device, including faint sounds in the room, while you ask the spirit guide questions. Wait quietly and listen carefully to your recording to find out the answers the tape recorder picks up.
Step 4. Experiment with automated writing methods
For some actors, especially those interested in deepening their awareness, experimenting with automatic writing is an effective way of communicating with the supernatural. Start with a trance meditation and let your hands move to write down the answers that come up. All you need to do is grab paper, stationery and write subconsciously, without stopping or paying attention to what you are writing.
- This is an excellent way to get in touch with messages from within yourself and encourage the emergence of your own subconscious. You already have the answers you need, and you can access them through this automated writing method.
- Writing down all forms of communication with the spirit guide is also an effective way, once you come out of a trance state. It is very important that you record all these communications, so that you can study them later and find other or later parts of the symbols that appear.
Step 5. Consider allowing chance to respond to your needs
Tarot and iChing are formal methods for conducting questions and answers where the guiding spirit or subconscious will provide answers through chance factors. Depending on how you choose to view it, surrender to experience the process, and prepare for it, these methods can work together or as an alternative to more complex awareness communication.
- To start using the Tarot method, you don't need a complicated manual. Take a set of Tarot cards and analyze each card to feel its weight. Take a few cards and let your spontaneous reactions give clues to their symbolic meaning. This is an excellent way to get answers to your questions.
- Use the iChing method to get answers in the form of figures of speech or similes. With three coins, you can create a hexagram (six dashed and unbroken lines) corresponding to the initial symbol in the iChing method called the "Book of Changes". Each hexagram contains a brief figurative symbol, which can be interpreted as an answer to the question you are meditating on.
Part 5 of 5: Communicating Safely
Step 1. Clear yourself to receive the message before the communication channel opens
According to your interests and traditions, you may find it necessary to do a thorough chakra cleansing before communicating with the supernatural, to balance and clear your energy paths/channels. On the other hand, you may find it more effective to pray, chant a mantra, or concentrate both physically and emotionally.
Whatever way you choose to cleanse yourself before starting your investigation, make sure that you reach mutual understanding and respect with your guiding spirit. It's important to set boundaries and state your desires clearly
Step 2. Develop a close personal relationship with your guiding spirit
Do trance meditation for long periods of time regularly, so that you can develop a relationship with your guiding spirit before asking for answers to your questions about the mysteries of life. This may include assigning a particular name, image or sound to this guiding spirit figure, if indeed he has not yet manifested himself in a certain form. If you think this person is inside you, it may mean that you need to become more aware and pay attention to yourself, your thoughts, feelings and habits.
End each session on a positive note. Thank your guiding spirit for its help and guidance, and show respect and appreciation. Try not to end the session angry or frustrated
Step 3. Archive everything
Make it easy for others to see what you've gained by recording or recording your communication session with the guiding spirit. Both of these methods serve to put some distance between the transmission and your soul, and prepare yourself for the next message. Keep communication flowing smoothly through you, not stuck or stuck in your subconscious.
Tips
- Don't try to force the guiding spirit to deliver the message. Prepare yourself and wait until the time is right.
- Negotiate so that you have the right to close communication channels where necessary. In short, make sure that you stay in complete control.
- Pay attention to when the delivery of the message will usually occur, namely the hours or certain conditions/feelings that you are experiencing at that time. Those moments are your entrance, where communication with the supernatural occurs easiest and most naturally.
- Do not attempt to modify/correct or interpret messages that appear during the communication process. Wait for the communication session to finish to do these things.
