Hello Again.
In my last post I published, I went over the creation of your wings, this is one of the easiest and fun steps. But it's a very crucial step too, because changing what your wings looks like not only erases all progress and puts you back at step one, but it can also lead to deformed wings or extreme complications that can be easily avoided. Anyways, it's time to go on to the next step simple visualization techniques.
Visualization is a very powerful resource, it allows you to see and feel things that aren't there and is used in almost anything related to shifting, psionic, and similar things. So lets start with a simple exercise to get you used to the idea of visualization. Feel free to try them all and see which type seems to work the best for you.
From the Darkness
This exercise is called From the Darkness because using visualization you create things from the darkness. So get in a comfortable sitting position and relax and close your eyes if you're not seeing complete blackness than cover your eyes with a piece of dark fabric or turn off any lights or close the curtains whatever is necessary
So now that you're gazing into a vast and empty darkness it's time to create something, perhaps you can start of with a 2 dimensional shape like a circle or square or even a 3 dimensional shape like a sphere or cube. start with a white outline and slowly stretch white fabric like material over your outline, then add details like textures, is it glassy, metallic, rough, add shadows or patterns, try painting the shape different colors or molding it into a new shape or crushing it back into nothingness. you can repeat this until you can create different objects easily and quickly, or move on to another exercise.
Out of Thin Air
This exercise is call Out of Thin Air because unlike From the Darkness you have your eyes open, although I find this method more difficult many seem to find it easier. Move into a room or into a quite open and flat and bright area. get into a comfortable position and pick a spot on the ground where you shape will be. start of with a white or black cube whichever will stand out most in your area. start with an outline that sits flat against the ground and stretch a fabric like material over the outline. visualize the shadow it make on the ground and the way any light sources will effect the object, will there be a gleam maybe a sparkle. try moving the cube around the room. after you are satisfied you can try this again with different shapes and colors or move onto another exercise.
A Different Reflection
This exercise is called A Different Reflection. You will need a mirror that can stand without you holding it. position the mirror or yourself so you are in a comfortable position and can see your entire face clearly in the mirror. now examine your face for a few minutes, after you are familiar with the shadows, gleams, and even the imperfections pick a part of you face such as your nose mouth or eyes, visualize them getting bigger, smaller, changing shape, or maybe switching places with another part of your face, maybe they change color or disappear completely, you can continue to do this until you satisfied and try a different part of your face or try a different exercise.
Now you may not have mastered any of these exercises or perhaps you made no progress at all, and that actually normal. You will eventually reach the necessary skill level to continue but it takes time and practice, and a don't continue to try these over and over again for more than several minutes at a time. even if you're not getting any visible results you're still using energy unless you know how to borrow energy from objects you'll use up all you're energy and be left with a nasty headache and a grumpy attitude and we don't want that. So take a five minute break very ten minutes or so, and only practice for an hour or two a day.
In my next post we will begin visualizing your wings.
Until next time. Lates, KataBat
