one of my latest abilities [magic minus the cauldron]

[BlueWaves]

I have been able to "live" for moments while "controlling" my astral self. As this is fascinating to me i'm replicating this more and more. My spirit guide tells me i'm learning the "truths of a voidwalker" kinda creepy, even for a Chaote lol. :spaceman:

[BlueWaves]

I can use my second set of "arms" as it were to create a breeze to my face. mind you however the maddening headaches and the water I gotta consume I can't do it more then 1 or 2 times a day.

[BlueWaves]

I have yet to find any sort of "practice" that it is called, but of course being a Chaote I don't need one. As long as it works and gets the job done its fine. :)

[Cynyr]

Gods, you're bad ass.

[BlueWaves]

well I wouldn't say that lol _inabox_ just asking if others have experienced the same and what they do to control the headaches (migraines?)

[BlueWaves]

but the simple application of applying "weight" to the astral form is quite mind-opening :)

Are you assuming everyone gets migraines because you get them? Maybe it's something that happens to you only? Maybe you're doing something wrong? Like trying too hard? That's very easy when one lacks experience.

Suggestion: practice a lot. Take a break when tired / headaches.

Skin breathing...it involves using your chi energy to call forth the breeze. You begin a 4 fold breathing. Inhale for 4...hold for 4...exhale for 4 and while doing so you take in the air with your nostrils at first and once you get your prana going you visualize and get "feel" your skin breath as well.

I have a magician friend who is really awesom at this.

Living in Texas this is a great ability during hot summer rites.

I have tried this and it will indeed begin to call the breezes. Sometimes small hand motions that pull the air toward you help direct that air energy to move toward you. Have you tried physically using hand motions until such time as the astral hands take over the action. Thats usually how I get it to work. Perhaps then when you begin to do so the automation of the astral will be an easier less migraine inducing action.

I have to call it forth with my hands and a "shhhhhuuuu" chant to call forth the breezes.

Does your pineal light up when you go into using the astral this much?

Anytime I trigger the magical in me my pineal lights up? Just curious.

[BlueWaves]

No. what i'm doing here is I have realized the astral self and physical self are both bodily molds.

the astral self is your "energized" body with the ego attached, the human body is the "tar 'n feathered" body with the ego attached.

I'm beginning the process of controling each at the same moment. Currently for example, the chakras on the palms (lesser) are open and my astral selft is sort of "flexing" at the area of my wrists. However when I attempt to control both bodies at once, the astral and physical is when i get the above-said migraines.

What i mean is when you do High Level (not spell level) Magic and work in with it the astral as the energy source. Not using the physical energies from the world around here, instead, creating a link to the astral through your astral body, commanding it through your physical body.

[BlueWaves]

my physical body feals the "energy meter" pile up very very fast (like in 5 minutes or so) before I must release the energy, ground myself and then do something about the terrible headaches. :rubhead:

[BlueWaves]

but let me tell you...that period of time when i'm controlling the energies of the astral and physical...its a rush beyond any imagination lol. :)


ps: is there any sort of magical energy addiction? I dont know if its curiousity these last few months or just addiction to that energy source lol.

[Xentor]

Yes, it's called megalomania. There's always a bigger fish.

Sure there is. Anything you do energetically has a result at least in you.

^_^ Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay norules!

Have you use it to tap someone on the shoulder, or slap their butt unexpectedly yet? It seems dishonest, but I marked it off as "experiencing spirituality and affecting the other two-legged." xD

[Ulatek]

I do something similiar,

Sometimes if im sitting outside with friends, Ill look to one and say "man, a cool breeze sure would be nice right now wouldnt it?" and when they say "yea" . it almost always comes.

fun little trick =)
