The reason is that I experience the place on my body resonate more or less depending on the pitch I use and so I tend instinctively to adjust the pitch for the most resonance. Is that just my idiosyncrasy or does that make some sense given the ritual...?Dr. Jeevesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814337050017726886.post-36003326011387606152013-12-13T08:58:26.762-08:002013-12-13T08:58:26.762-08:00Thanks so much for this helpful post.

Especially for those of us who wish we had an AO temple close at hand, it is good to know that we can be connected in other ways and gain the training we seek. <br /><br />You also raise other issues that I had wondered about and that now I think I begin to understand. For one, I have performed ritual magic on and off for some years, but was never able to sustain it in the past. One of the differences this time is the spontaneous body experiences I described. Whereas I always felt some emotional uplift from the rituals in the past, it still seemed like an “energy charge” was missing when I compared my experiences to the descriptions I read from other practitioners. As you put it, “You can go through all of the motions with great precision, yet they will remain empty forms and devoid of any real Magical power”. This time I have those body experiences accompanying the rituals, especially the MPR, and that difference has made the entire experience of doing the rituals different – among other things leaving me feeling more empowered as a whole person and also seeming to draw me back to the rituals daily in a way I never experienced before. It seems like the charge I thought was missing in finally there. I can’t imagine not doing the rituals daily at this point. I am guessing that this is the consequence of the experience of LVX energy.<br /><br />I see why you say this is one of the “greatest challenges” in working from a distance. Experiences of this kind are better talked through with experienced practitioners, because they are difficult to describe. Since I don’t know any other practitioners of magick at this point, I might have just kept wondering about it, had I not been able to ask on this blog and trust you would know what I meant. Thanks again.<br />Dr. Jeevesnoreply@blogger.com
