Visualising alone is not likely to be enough, that's way too fluffy bunnyish.  You and her could do with working together on some serious psychic self defence.  Energy body work a.k.a NEW energy ways etc would be a major help here I would have thought. I'm sure you'll get some other solid suggestions. Including if she or you has a strong religious faith of some kind-it's possible you could ask your Deity(s) maybe...not my field however.

If you was UK and close to me I'd offer to help if I could..

Who would you ask if you wanted further guidance with life magic? Just being a little nosy now :-). I assume worship isn't what they'd want, just some decent normal human respect?

If I believed I could summon a demon, and I knew really what one was, I'd still rather be polite and make the equivalent of a demonic phone call-you know, like ringing up someone you want to be friends with :-).

Seriously if there are entities such as demons I'd be careful about trying to "handle" them.  Cacodemon, what are demons exactly? You say they are friendly to humanity? I'm curious then as to why they are referred to as "demon" a word which has negative connotations :-).
I've never felt/met/dreamt of these so I really am ignorant of a reality of these LOL.

Stereotypes, lovely simple concept. for simple folks.

I've gone the self sufficient route as I've had insufficient personal evidence of anything more. I cannot see these things-chakras etc. The only reason I practice is because I can however feel energy and sense the chakras that way.

My youngest brother has been able to "see" energy with his eyes shut for years. Woods and natural places are nearly overwhelming for him.
Yesterday I was pumping energy through my arm to see what he could see. Apparently he couldn't continue to look at it-he said it was like magnesium burning, yet I was only working at a basic level-due to tiredness.  So evidently what I do has an affect that can be seen if one has that sense.

It does seem that certain abilities are not a matter of self belief alone. He hadn't really thought about that, he just could do it.  I taught him the basic energy work 5 years ago, to help him bypass my own years of not having anyone who knew anything about it. I started at 11, he started with my input at 10.

He can see what he thinks are spirits for sure.
I'm very comfortable with my energy work, because nothing I do or try goes any further really. I do not understand what is meant by "shift your perceptions higher" .
I tried several times to find teachers to help me when I was younger-unfortunately I met with "New Agey" wafty individuals who couldn't do what I did. I mean New Agey in the real tinkling bells wafty sense rather than any of you who perhaps practice in a more realistic way :-).  
Mr Bruce and also Salvatore who was on the recent course are two exceptions to that so far (that I've met in the real world that is). :-)

I'm not comfortable with an etheric is it there or isn't it type of thinking. It's not real to me. Hence probably why I can't work with guides etc, not real enough to me. Compared to the heat and electricity of energy work anyway..
hmm...one glass of wine too many and look where I go...
lol
#206
Yes you are.

Also where does Robert Bruce actually say this himself or Brian Mercer for that matter?

Quote

Mastering Astral Projection is the best guide there is. Its perfect for training as it focuses on only one thing, and that is to teach you how to have that first OBE, using a step by step achievable method. Read more about this book on the following link to my library.

Also as regards the NEW system, I don't recall where he says it works better than other methods specifically. It's true that for many people it's more accessible especially for beginner's.

I'm pretty sure that Robert has mentioned more than once the NEW can be used to complement and enhance other practices.  In my case it's allowed me to more fully understand the practice of Iron Shirt chi kung.

I feel personally that you are attempting to be somewhat provocative rather than productive which is rather arrogant in it's own right.
#207
I've never felt that I've encountered any "spirit guides" in the years of various energy practices I've tried. I've worked on people with healing since I was about 15, but no feelings about a 3rd party being present have been there-regardless of the strength of the session (some were startlingly successful).
So far, I've had a complete lack of sense of other beings as guides etc. I've had unpleasent tingles from "knowing" there's something else in the room from chakra training occasionally but that's it.  Yet I've experienced energy work "ecstacy" before now..

So maybe this lifetime, guides wise I'm not supposed to need/see/know them or something?

Lots of family connections, that's what it looks like from outside the USA anyway. Lots of family help :-). Among other things...but what am I on about. I wouldn't want to lead any country no matter what so there is some respect due at least a little for someone who will attempt the job.
I'm still not a supporter though! :-)...only reacting to the above post

I can relate to this, I try to alter what's going to happen every time I get this. Usually I pause for a few minutes to see what happens and try to forward remember the next part.  Never had anything as clear as this example though
#210
ok..I'm thinking possession? Anyone else?
If so, cold running water, rivers and such might be useful, especially for your chi kung/tai chi perhaps :-).
Mantak chia is good-microcosmic orbit, NEW by Robert Bruce also and most things mentioned here already :-). Just adding my own two cents...
Of course I assumed you're serious on the Union Jack thing :-)

Welcome to Magic! / enchantment spells
February 03, 2005, 00:40:39
For me any spellwork is intensely personal, as in you can't exchange them with others, a.k.a direct magic.  The MOST important part of any spell you want to put on that jewelry is a)intention(s) and then b)the gathering and focussing of energy.

Break down your intentions into simple instructions (a bit like programming LOL). It's better to keep things very simple to start with. Work with one intention ideally especially as a beginner (which I am of course!).

I speak in "tongues" or something so I don't need english rhymes and similar, however it's normal for me to do so. You are probably different so you'll need to create a very clear spell that you feel reflects exactly what you need-this is going to be like poetry.

http://www.angelfire.com/mi3/tomekeeper/index.html

This guy covers the ground well on direct magic and there is a section on enchantment.
The next thing you will need is to raise energy and focus it. That site should help you better than I can, I'm too used to using this for healing these days, so my explanations aren't likely to be useful to you.

Of course you might feel that "trade a spell" can work for you (getting premade spells). Maybe that can :-), if you've got the concentration etc..
#212
If the cap fits...

I am biased on a personal level against those who have what I feel are very narrow beliefs, whether it be christian or muslim, buddhist or closed skeptic.  This is how I am, a creator would not be as closed and as narrow as this in my view. I also believe that life in part is meant for discovery, exploration, sharing and above all perhaps the expression of love through the finding of as complete knowledge of self and all that is as is possible in a lifetime.
Quoting scriptures to me is irrelevant, they mean nothing to me. This is my truth, it is not up to anyone to evangelise any belief system-that to me feels very wrong when it is stated with such certainty.
If I feel one day the bible or other holy books is truth, it will be from my own heart and never because someone managed to persuade me of their viewpoint.

If a creator exists and is real, and wishes me to know them, then without any intermediatories they will make themselves known to me and to all I am sure.

Isn't it true that such creators are said to be omnipotent and omnipresent? If so they need no middle men such as evangelisors, fundementalists and people who simply do not APPEAR to me to think for themselves.

This isn't a nice beautifully structured arguement designed to pierce holes in anyone else's arguement or viewpoint. It is simply a portion of what I personally feel to be true.  

I understand that someone deeply wedded to the bible will refute some statements here with scripture quotes-perhaps that saves thinking? Such as the evangelising thing for example, I'm sure there is a quote or a passage commanding the followers to spread the word and other stuff.

Followers with such intentions are not welcome in my house or my life. Followers of a faith who just accept others how they are, are always welcome.

I understand that it is rare or perhaps impossible when discussing religion for those who hold strong beliefs to decide another opposing viewpoint is right, so I seek not to persuade you of the correctness of my view.  I cannot say that I am correct, I just know in my heart that for me what I say is true and no-one can argue that away from me.  :-). In other words no-one can be argued out of their faith can they?

Soma-sight appeared to me to be a troll. IMO only.
#213
I accept that your didn't mean it derogatory majour ka :-). Spiritually evolved has way too many meanings for me to know that anyone is any more evolved than any other. We all have so many ideas about what that means. There are many many writers whom some will feel are more evolved than the rest of us, but others will disagree perhaps proving that they are not more evolved but evolved differently.  That takes the narrower comparison ego part out of the equation.
As for myself, I do not believe I'm spiritually evolving really. I just play with energy because I can, and because sometimes when I perform healing work on people it touches something in me that wants to come out. What that is I've decided not to try too hard to define :-).

shadowarrior13, I've had this problem about 60,000 times so far. It's scary ;-) waking up to find all these books lying around on the computer.
#215
I've measured what happens on my EEG machine (it's only a waverider jnr 2 channel using bioexplorer software for those who are interested).
Using sites c3 and c4 on one occasion and sites Fp1 and Fp2 on another. I controlled for muscle movement readings first of all-a real issue on fp1 and fp2 though mainly it affected amplitude readings in the delta frequencies.
The gist of what I found was that in all frequencies I could get much higher amplitudes than a running average.  I'd hit over 50u microvolts from an average of 10.  I set this as a little challenge and found that alpha was the easiest to increase and gamma was the hardest (40-64hz, which is the max on my device). However I did spike gamma to over 50 a number of times in the session.  The spiking happened only when the energy sensations were the most powerful, typically when I was sweating from the heat.

Unusual side effects are a combined chilling and heat effect when I do this-happens in a healing session as well.
#216
The concept of imbueing magical power or spells into objects is the practice of enchantment.  However what/who do you think/believe a demon is? Don't forget the limitations of our language and our ability to describe things in language here.

Why did you promise to become something like a demon slayer? What was the bargain and why make it? Did it give you identity?

How do you know for absolute certainty that the being you are describing is "good" and "good" universally?

Do you have any certainty that you should be on a side? and that there are definite and solid sides to choose from?
Or are you happy to become only a servant, perhaps a not well informed one even?
These are not in any way personal critisms of YOU, but questionings of the path you think you have chosen.
I would not choose to make a bargain on something that I didn't know I could do casually. Especially something like this.  I never promise healing, though I do promise to attempt from time to time.

If the being is good and powerful enough to create such solemn bargains with, I feel he/she is likely to be so powerful that your own contribution would be insignicant in comparison. Perhaps they need you far more and are not who you think...

Just provoking, hopefully thought.

Quoteconstantly evolving her mind
This I can agree with, like all open minded folks constantly evolving her mind seems like a good thing to do.
Quote
far beyond most of us on the forum could even image in this life time.
This I take big issue with for some reason, it makes too many assumptions about many people on this board. Not something I'd be too willing to do myself. I don't know anyone else well enough to comment :-).

I'm sure it's likely to be a little risky if you push some parts of astral projection training too hard too soon, such as primary centre work or kundalini even perhaps.   Is it possible to overdue proper basic meditation or relaxation?

:-) I'm just feeling devilish here prodding at a couple of comments that struck me...
#218
Betty Shine was the first healer I read, however I found as I grew up that visual only methods didn't have any affect for me. Still I have her to thank for introducing me to the language and concepts for what I had accidently learned to do-move energy that is.

More to the point, how many people have had the symptoms described by Betty Shine? Can anyone relate to her caution?

Does anyone know a way to force an exit? The only reason I ask is that I am under the impression that relaxation, mental discipline and a distinct lack of force is necessary?

This is not disagreement majour ka, as I've not succeeded in conscious projection yet. but a questioning of someone else advising against the practice.  Any views
#219
QuotePS I thank 'god' I was not born in the bible belt. i think i would go nuts!

I second this, how I would have survived with some kind of faith ridden environment I'd never know. It's great for those that truly need that security but for those that don't? to have it forced would be hell.
#220
They're trolls :-).
#221
It is safe to fill the chakras following the guide given in astraldynamics with the proviso that you have done enough secondary body work as a foundation. Have you done secondary work for several months?

I've had the heart chakra strobe once, which made me cry on the actual workshop last december. It was a result of filling it and using it via the Mystic heart method detailed on Robert Bruce's site.

I second you even though I am uk. We still get some of those breeds here.
#223
Yes, definitly, very very definitly. I speak from my current relationship.
We don't have to argue either, we read each other's minds easily (though he's a skeptic). We are different enough, wildly so in many ways that there's variety but we like enough things together so that it's easy to share good times.
I'm lucky however because I have a particular sexual interest that normally would scupper a relationship based on any sex so i am slightly biased. I do not feel a lack however, niether does he.
Sex is either loving procreation in a heterosexual relationship or perhaps the giving of sensual pleasure between a couple. I'm guessing obviously from my own experiences but yes, I'm confident that I've met my soul mate and don't need to add extra security with sex particularly.
#224
The people that claim homosexuality is a sin and is against nature strike me as being a bit bound in a very narrow perspective for all kinds of reasons-of their own.

I know my sexuality is not wrong. I have had a number of years to think about it. A number of years to examine my own heart and meditate on the issue. No qualms about my lifestyle pop up. Qualms about my choices of partner(s) have done of course. Now I have met my soul mate.

It's not about the "sex", never was, people get hung up on that. It's nonsense to be hung up on the physical act, as if that's the most important thing you can do with your partner! Narrow minded to say the least.
It's about the mental, emotional and spiritual connection you have with another being.

I feel that a few people's minds would literally crack if they had to open them to allow for the fact that such relationships can be and are as deeply natural and soul connecting as heterosexual relationships. Shame really, but I guess some peoples very narrow boxes are supremely comforting to what might otherwise be seen as an insecure mind.

Inguma, I've seen the same stuff too. I seen it happen as well :-).
#225
I'm glad I stayed out of religion so far in my life :-).
Though I agree with some of the things Jesus is supposed to have said, including treating others as you would have yourself be treated, and "the kingdom of heaven is within  you".
I don't think I need to just take something into my heart on "faith" to be happy and lead a fulfilling life. A heart centred idea of morality has served me well enough so far :-).
Interesting that there are so many "versions" of "God's Word.
The Big Bang is just a model of what might have happened, creationism is another and possibly metaphoric.
I'm sure in time to come we will predict better, more complete pictures of what happened, if it's knowable by us that is :-).
And all in all I could just be typing late late night nonsense on this here thread :-).
