| I'd have to agree with the above. The secret for me to making magick a part of my daily life is to grow it into a lifestyle. For me, it's doing little things like cultivating internal stillness when I'm out walking. Tuning into people when I'm in a grocery store. Practicing visualization when I'm sitting in my livingroom, and literally dozens of other things that are simply done off the cuff. They aren't a big deal, just little things. Rather than making out a schedule that I have to strain to, when I think about an exercise, I just do it on the spot, whatever it is. What I've found with this is that I wind up doing 5 or 6 times the magickal exercises a day than I would have if I had done a "program". More importantly, my intuitive self always seems to serve up fresh ideas that exercise the capacities that I need,by creating desire for them, and providing me with suitable exercises. There's one discipline that I practice as a base though, and that's the cultivation of internal stillness. I do it when walking, I do it when I meditate. It's not that I see stillness as superior to noise. Quite the contrary, I find that it can be the fuel for ecstacy, and many other techniques. Awareness seems to be a necessary grounding point for many other things. Even that, however, I train off the cuff. I've tried it both ways, and I find the lifestyle approach works better for me. |
