I think also that it is an ongoing practice with little weights at first. I use visualizations, affirmations, and moon magic specific to my path,
Celtic Hedgewitch. I realize this forum is not pagan per se, but I hope you will welcome me. Many of us are on divergent spiritual paths all leading to the mountaintop as we perceive it. I spend a few minutes each morning in prayer, affirmation, and gratitude. During the day when I am walking or just sitting quietly I try to especially use feeling as an accelerator to manifestation. I feel what it would be like to be in body with 20 less pounds. I see myself, for example, with that new cast iron skillet, cooking at my stove. I have wanted one, but have not been able to currently justify the cost in my current budget. I am a lightweight, but for several years have disciplined myself to increase my psychic ability. It has paid off,and I notice a difference in my perception. One of my favorite authors who has influenced me is
Stuart Wilde . I could not even classify him. He would not label himself New Age nor Wiccan. He is the one that states in one of his books about trying to manifest small things in your life first. Also, he is no nonsense down to earth, and at times irreverent. This is my first post here, and I hope to come back and check out what is happening on the forum from time to time. Hello all you seekers of wisdom no matter what your path.
