Hi, firstly thank you for checking out the thread. I've been dabbling with New Avatar Power for the past few weeks, and I'm relatively new to magick. So I really hope for your patience in my ignorance.
#1st question~
Well, the very first incantation for the NAP ritual involves relaxation. I'd like to know what is the optimum brainwave state for anyone to sink into while doing magick? I've heard mixed opinions... Some say it's the low alpha level at Schumann Resonance, while others say its the theta level. Which is the best which you've seen results in?
Do you use any form of brainwave entrainment while doing so, as well? Headphones? Isochronics or binaurals? Or just plain meditation? Self-hypnosis? Playing of hypnosis recorded tapes?
#2nd question~
During the rituals, what must one do? I find it a little hard to visualize stuff happening. Also, what is the best position for performing the rites? Do I have to stand up and do it? (Like central pillar seems to need the person to stand up) But standing up is really hard for deep relaxation too.
#3rd question~
What do I do when I start to evoke? I mostly just read the words and try and imagine the presence. However, I have really no idea on what to expect. I suspect sometimes that my imagination is getting ahead of me.
#4th question~
I read in a thread that the order should be like this:
[list=][*]Banishing
[*]Relaxation ritual
[*]Central Pillar
[*]Bornless One Ritual
[*]Spell
[*]Dee Hay Thooth
[*]Banishing[/list]
However, is it needed to really perform it in such a long manner? Or is it possible to just do it like the book says... Relaxation ritual, then skip to spell straightaway?
Thanks a lot for your patience in reading my post.
