I've got it open in another tab for reading once I'm done all my other tabs. I use a variety of techniques to induce trance but I am very much interested in one that can bring you into deep trance in a mere matter of seconds.

Not sure if want. It's probably bluepilled.

Psychology is just a sub-category of magic.

>>17159

Some psychology fits in well with magic, nlp for example, others not so much, but its still useful to improve your overall knowledgebase.

Fuck, now my arm's really heavy…

A lesser but quicker practice : Progressive Muscle Relaxation

http://www.guidetopsychology.com/pmr.htm

You will be working with most all the major muscle groups in your body, but for convenience you will make a systematic progression from your feet upwards. Here is the most popular recommended sequence:


•

Right foot

•

Right lower leg and foot

•

Entire right leg

•

Left foot

•

Left lower leg and foot

•

Entire left leg

•

Right hand

•

Right forearm and hand

•

Entire right arm

•

Left hand

•

Left forearm and hand

•

Entire left arm

•

Abdomen

•

Chest

•

Neck and shoulders
•

Face

Step One: Tension. The process of applying tension to a muscle is essentially the same regardless of which muscle group you are using. First, focus your mind on the muscle group; for example, your right hand. Then inhale and simply squeeze the muscles as hard as you can for about 8 seconds; in the example, this would involve making a tight fist with your hand.

It’s important to really feel the tension. Done properly, the tension procedure will cause the muscles to start to shake, and you will feel some pain.

Step Two: Releasing the Tension. This is the best part because it is actually pleasurable. After the 8 seconds, just quickly and suddenly let go. Let all the tightness and pain flow out of the muscles as you simultaneously exhale. In the example, this would be imagining tightness and pain flowing out of your hand through your fingertips as you exhale. Feel the muscles relax and become loose and limp, tension flowing away like water out of a faucet. Focus on and notice the difference between tension and relaxation.


Stay relaxed for about 15 seconds, and then repeat the tension-relaxation cycle. You’ll probably notice more sensations the second time.

Once you understand the muscle groups and the tension-relaxation procedure, then you are ready to begin the full PMR training. Simply follow the list of muscle groups in the sequence given and work through your entire body. Practice twice a day for a week. Spend extra time, if necessary, until you can achieve a deep sense of physical relaxation; then you can move on to the Shortened PMR schedule.

In the shortened form of PMR, you will (a) work with summary groups of muscles rather than individual muscle groups, and (b) begin to use cue-controlled relaxation.

The summary muscle groups. The four summary muscle groups are as follows:


1.

Lower limbs

2.

Abdomen and Chest

3.

Arms, Shoulders, and Neck

4.

Face

Instead of working with just one specific part of your body at a time, focus on the complete group. In Group 1, for example, focus on both feet, both lower legs, and both upper legs all at once.

Cue-controlled relaxation. Use the same tension-relaxation procedure as full PMR, but work with the summary groups of muscles. In addition, focus on your breathing during both tension and relaxation. Inhale slowly as you apply and hold the tension. Then, when you let the tension go and exhale, say a cue word to yourself—some suggestions are given below. This will help you to associate the cue word with a state of relaxation, so that eventually, through conditioning, the cue word alone will produce a relaxed state.

Some suggestions for cue words/phrases are these:


•

Relax

•

Let it go

•

It’s OK

•

Stay calm

•

All things are passing

•

Trust in God

Initially, you should practice the shortened form of PMR under the same conditions as you practiced full PMR. After about a week of twice-daily practice you will then have enough proficiency to practice it under other conditions and with distractions. Or you might want to move on to the final process of Deep Muscle Relaxation.

Once you have learned PMR and are familiar with the feeling of muscle relaxation, you can then induce relaxation without even bothering with the tension-relaxation process. All you need to do is use your imagination to think of and then relax the various muscle groups using your cue word(s). Usually this is done by starting at the top of your head and then working down through your body, as if relaxation were being poured over your head and flowing down over all of your body. This process is called Deep Muscle Relaxation.

Then, anywhere, anytime, you can simply perform a quick “body scan” to recognize where in your body you might be holding muscle tension and then, using imagery and your cue word/phrase, you can let it go.

>tfw accidentally skipped the right leg, then left leg days and went straight to 'arms and legs' part
Should I go back or will it be okay?

I just did an Earth Invocation yesterday and it made me extremely heavily and feel like I was being pulled to the ground by a strong gravitational force which I could hardly resist. I just wish my damned mouth didn't open and cause me to mouthbreath while practically passed out on the ground.

Also today I ate a heroic 1,500 calories in one sitting.

Fuck, I'm accidentally re-invoking Earth just by reading this thread, then thinking the corresponding thoughts for the invocation. Shit. Now I feel like I'm going to collapse in my chair.

I need to remain awake 2-3 hours longer at least because it's day and I must top off muh calories at over 2,000. If I could get to 3,000 that would be amazing.

u jelly that I read the autogenics and PMR thing then went to the astral for an even better method for this which I then put into effect in a single day?

>>19916
That depends. Does it give you any difficulties to relax all the body parts at once?



>>19931
I eat double that every dinner.

>>19933
I'd be jelly if you could actually acomplish something in the astral. Like locating people.

>>19935
>I eat double that every dinner.

How can you fucking do that? How does your stomach even have the physical capacity for more food?

>I'd be jelly if you could actually acomplish something in the astral. Like locating people.

How about learning shit that's useful from there?

>>19938
All you have to do is to keep eating until the food is gone.

>>19938

You should be actually DOING not just learning.

>>19933
Yes, will you share it tho to help aid the evolution of your race and cosmic geist?

Well that's interesting.
When I moved to the "both arms are warm phase" and it was my second day of it, i still didnt quite feel it.
But then later in the day when I was doing some Robert Bruce relaxation, just tensing muscles and relaxing, both my arms got intensely warm.

Didn't expect that.

What are the practical and esoteric benefits of this?

Relaxation helps you move your awareness out of your body, helps you stop wasting energy, helps you sleep, helps your body regenerate, helps you enter trance, etc.
