This is a gentle meditative spell, rich in
visualisation, to open your mind, body and spirit to the possibilities of life
outside of the conscious state. With patience and persistence it is possible to
open up the mind to higher states of consciousness and clairvoyance, so if you
do not succeed the first time, keep trying.
You will need:
3 candles anointed with a combination of 3, 5 or 7
essential oils of your choice.
My personal favourites are coconut, patchouli and
lavender.
Instructions
Note: It may
be helpful to do this with a friend or partner.
Light the oiled candles and turn out all other
lights. Place them so that you can lie or sit in the centre of them.
Close your eyes, ground & centre, gently relax…
releasing your brain from everyday trivia.
Transport your imagination onto the ocean’s
horizon; let the misty blue hues envelop you and lead you onto a path of air.
Continue on slowly and note all that you see.
Accept all that you are offered but do not try to communicate.
As you go along, you may hear conversations, your senses
may be aroused, and fragrances may draw you forward. Go with them, glancing up
and down so as to miss nothing.
As the blue fades, slowly begin your return to the
earth and as you finally reach this world, open your eyes and stretch.
Join hands with your companion and give thanks.
My Spin
I do not change this one a great deal, I
find it very useful as it is. However, I do find the ocean horizon and path of
air. It is a perfectly acceptable way of reaching the location but I am very
connected to the element of air and so I enjoy adding a more cyclonic way of
travelling; I am also very connected to the earth element and so the path I
take begins on the edge of a forest. This means the interactions I encounter
are generally from the animal kingdom, the trees or the earth herself.
My other point of difference is earlier in
the spell and relates to the candles and oils. The colour of the candles can be
adjusted to suit your preference and needs, as can the oils. For example, if I
had plans of letting my astral travels take me to the rainforest, I would use a
deep green for the vibrant shades of the tropical foliage; a bright red for the
stunningly exotic rouge blooms that grow in that environment; and finally, I
would use a vivid yellow, which with red, brings to mind the flourish of wings
as a parrot flies past.
