Hebrew Alphabet
If this sounds like Greek to you, you're not far off! Many letters in the
Greek alphabet have similar names and occur in the same order (though
they don't look anything alike!): Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta ... Zeta ...
Theta, Iota, Kappa, Lambda, Mu, Nu ... Pi ... Rho, Sigma Tau.
The "Kh" and the "Ch" are pronounced as in German or Scottish, a throat
The Arcana A Study in Magic
Most nikkud are used to indicate vowels. The table at right illustrates the
vowel points, along with their pronunciations. Pronunciations are
approximate; I have heard quite a bit of variation in vowel pronunciation.
Vowel points are shown in blue. The letter Alef, shown in red, is used to
illustrate the position of the points relative to the consonants. The letters
shown in purple are technically consonants and would appear in unpointed
texts, but they function as vowels in this context.
The Arcana A Study in Magic
The dot that appears in the center of some letters is called a dagesh. It can
appear in just about any letter in Hebrew. With most letters, the dagesh
does not significantly affect pronunciation of the letter; it simply marks a
split between syllables, where the letter is pronounced both at the end of
the first syllable and the beginning of the second. With the letters Beit, Kaf
and Pei, however, the dagesh indicates that the letter should be pronounced
with its hard sound (b, k, p) rather than its soft sound (v, kh, f). See the
table above. In Ashkenazic pronunciation (the pronunciation used by many
The Arcana A Study in Magic
Orthodox Jews and by many older Jews), Tav also has a soft sound, and is
pronounced as an "s" when it does not have a dagesh.
Vav, usually a consonant pronounced as a "v," is sometimes a vowel
pronounced "oo" (u) or "oh" (o). When it is pronounced "oo" as in "food",
pointed texts have a dagesh. When it is pronounced "oh" as in "Oh!,"
pointed texts have a dot on top.
Shin is pronounced "sh" when it has a dot over the right branch and "s"
when it has a dot over the left branch.
At right is an example of pointed text.
Nikkud are shown in blue. This line would be pronounced (in Sephardic
pronunciation, which is what most people use today): V'ahavtah
l'reyahkhah kamokhah. (And you shall love your neighbor as yourself.
Leviticus 19:18).
Styles of Writing
The style of writing illustrated above is the one most commonly seen in
Hebrew books. It is referred to as block print, square script or sometimes
Assyrian script.
For sacred documents, such as torah scrolls or the scrolls inside tefillin and
mezuzot, there is a special writing style with "crowns" (crows-foot-like
marks coming up from the upper points) on many of the letters. This style
of writing is known as STA"M, an acronym for "Sifrei Torah, Tefillin and
Mezuzot," which is where you will see that style of writing. For more
information about the STA"M alphabet, including illustrations and
relevant rules, see Hebrew Alphabet used in writing STA"M.
The Arcana A Study in Magic
There is
another style
used for
handwriting,
in much the
same way that
cursive is used
for the
Roman
(English)
alphabet. This
modern script
style is
illustrated at
right.
Another style is used in certain texts to distinguish the body of the text
from commentary upon the text. This style is known as Rashi Script, in
honor of Rashi, the greatest commentator on the Torah and the Talmud.
Rashi himself did not use this script; it is only named in his honor. The
alefbet at left is an example of Rashi Script.
Numerical Values
The Arcana A Study in Magic
Some have suggested that the final forms of the letters Kaf, Mem, Nun, Pei
and Tzadei have the numerical values of 500, 600, 700, 800 and 900,
providing a numerical system that could easily render numbers up to 1000.
However, there does not appear to be any basis for that interpretation in
Jewish tradition. A cursory glance at a Jewish tombstone will show that
these letters are not normally used that way: the year 5766 (2005-2006) is
written Tav-Shin-Samekh-Vav (400+300+60+6; the 5000 is assumed), not
Final Nun-Samekh-Vav (700+60+6). Indeed, writing it in that way would
look absurd to anyone familiar with Hebrew, because a final letter should
never appear at the beginning of a word! But even where numerology is
used only to determine the numerical values of words, you will not find
examples in Jewish tradition of final letters being given different values. For
example, in traditional sources, the numerical value of a name of G-d that
ends in Final Mem is 86, not 646.
I have received several e-mails pointing out that the numerical value of Vav
(often transliterated as W) is 6, and therefore WWW has the numerical
value of 666! The Internet, they say, is the number of the beast! It's an
amusing notion, but Hebrew numbers just don't work that way. In Hebrew
numerals, the position of the letter/digit is irrelevant; the letters are simply
added up to determine the value. To say that Vav-Vav-Vav is six hundred
and sixty-six would be like saying that the Roman numeral III is one
hundred and eleven. The numerical value of Vav-Vav-Vav in Hebrew
would be 6+6+6=18, so WWW is equivalent to life! (It is also worth noting
that the significance of the number 666 is a part of Christian numerology,
and has no basis that I know of in Jewish thought).
And while we're on the subject of bad numbers, it is worth noting that the
number 13 is not a bad number in Jewish tradition or numerology.
Normally written as Yod-Gimel, 13 is the numerical value of the word
ahava (love, Alef-Hei-Beit-Hei) and of echad (one, as in the daily prayer
declaration, G-d is One!, Alef-Cheit-Dalet). Thirteen is the age of
responsibility, when a boy becomes bar mitzvah. We call upon G-d's mercy

Ogham Alphabet
The Arcana A Study in Magic
Ogham
Origin
The Ogham alphabet is thought to be named after the Irish god Ogma. One theory of its origins is
that it evolved out of a system of tallies used for accounting. Ogham is also known as or ogham
craobh, beth luis fearn or beth luis nion.
The Arcana A Study in Magic
About 500 Ogham inscriptions have been found in Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England dating
from between the 4th and 7th centuries AD. There are inscriptions in archaic forms of Gaelic and
Pictish, which have not been deciphered. A handful of inscriptions featuring the Ogham script
and the Latin alphabet have also been found.
While all surviving traces of Ogham are inscriptions on stone, it was probably more commonly
inscribed on sticks, stakes and trees. Inscriptions generally take the form of somebody's name and
the name of a place and were probably used to mark boundaries.
Notable features
• Type of writing system: alphabet
• Number of letters: 25
• Writing surfaces: rocks, wood, manuscripts
• Direction of writing: inscribed around the edges of rocks running from bottom to top and
left to right, or left to right and horizontally in manuscripts.
• Letters are linked together by a solid line.
• The names and sounds represented by some of the letters are unknown.
• The Eite (feather) and Eite thuathail (reversed feather) symbols are used at the beginning
and end of sentences respectively.

Enochian Alphabet
Enochian alphabet
Origin
The Enochian alphabet first appeared during the 16th century. The Court
Astrologer and Magician, Dr. John Dee (1527-1608) and his associate, Sir
Edward Kelly (1555-1597) claimed that the alphabet and the Enochian
language was transmitted to them by angels.
The alphabet is used in the practice of Enochian Magic on Enochian Calls
or Keys, which are used to call angels.

The Angelic script is written right to left, and is commonly accented – see
the Loagaeth, and the English transliterations of the 48 Calls or Keys.
The letter ‘C’, as in English, can be pronounced as ‘S’ or ‘K’. Similarly,
the letter ‘G’ also represents the sound ‘J’; as can the letter Gon (‘I’ or ‘Y’),
though infrequently. Also, the letter Van is pronounced either ‘U’ or
‘V’. The sound ‘W’ is probably represented literally by a
double-‘U’. Moreover, it would seem that the Angelic spelling ‘PH’ is
pronounced ‘F’, as in English. Also, ‘CH’ may be pronounced as the Greek
Chi, or as ‘TCH’.
There are further similarities to other languages. For instance, ‘AU’ is
pronounced ‘AF’, which is reminiscent of Greek. There is also a strong
The Arcana A Study in Magic
possibility that the letter ‘Q’ is pronounced gutturally, as the Semitic “Qaf”
or “Qoph”; although the English sound ‘QU’ is present in Enochian.
The letter ‘Z’ is occasionally given with the pronunciation ‘ZOD’ which
is merely a 16th Century name of the letter “Zed” or “Zee”.
The Arcana A Study in Magic
The Elder Futhark (named after the initial phoneme of the first six rune
names: F, U, Th, A, R and K) consist of twenty-four runes, often arranged
in three groups or ætts of eight each. In the following table, each rune is
given with its common transliteration:
The Arcana A Study in Magic
The earliest known sequential listing of the alphabet dates to ca. 400 and is
found on the Kylver Stone in Gotland:
[f]uþarkg[w]hnijpïzstbeml·do
Two instances of another early inscription were found on the two Vadstena
and Mariedamm bracteates (6th century), showing the division in three
ætts, with the positions of ï, p and o, d inverted compared to the Kylver
stone:
fuþarkgw; hnijïpzs; tbeml·od
The Grumpan bracteate presents a listing from c. 500 which is identical to
the one found on the previous bracteates but incomplete:
fuþarkgw ... hnijïp(z) ... tbeml(·)(o)d
Rune names
Each rune most probably had a name, chosen to represent the sound of the
rune itself. The names are, however, not directly attested for the Elder
Futhark themselves. Reconstructed names in Proto-Germanic have been
produced, based on the names given for the runes in the later runic
alphabets attested in the rune poems and the linked names of the letters of
the Gothic alphabet. The asterisk before the rune names means that they
are unattested reconstructions. The 24 Elder Futhark runes are:
The rune names stood for their rune because of the first phoneme in the
name (the principle of acrophony), with the exception of Ingwaz and Algiz:
the Proto-Germanic z sound of the Algiz rune, never occurred in a
word-initial position. The phoneme acquired an r-like quality in
Proto-Norse, usually transcribed with R, and finally merged with r in
Icelandic, rendering the rune superfluous as a letter. Similarly, the ng-sound
of the Ingwaz rune does not occur word-initially.
Most names, in spite of being reconstructions, can be assumed with a fair
degree of certainty for the Old Futhark because of the concurrence of
Gothic, Anglo-Saxon and Nordic names. The names come from the
vocabulary of daily life and mythology, some trivial, some beneficent and
some inauspicious:
• Mythology: Tiwaz, Thurisaz, Ingwaz, God, Man, Sun.
• Nature and environment: Sun, day, year, hail, ice, lake, water, birch,
yew, pear, elk, aurochs, ear (of grain).
• Daily life and human condition: Man, wealth/cattle, horse,
estate/inheritance, slag, ride/journey, year/harvest, gift, joy, need,
ulcer/illness.

Words
Here is one for you all to digest, don't worry I wont use to many big
words..lol... In our beliefs we have many words, w/ many meanings, Power
words, incantations, Chants & the list goes on. Now in our everyday lives
we also have many words, some that affect us more than others, my
question is why is this so? For a word only has power if we give it power
correct?
I've come to learn in my short life span, that many allow words to affect
them, & at the same time stumble w/ there magical words for they don't
give them power, shouldn't our focus be more on those words which really
need to have meaning, than those that should not that some let affect them.
It is also true that not only w/ words but how we live & react to things that
also give power over to things that we may not perscive, will use fear as an
example for it is the easiest to understand & see. For our fears are our
weakness, it is the one thing that can destroy us before we can react to it for
in most case we freeze up when in countered w/ our fear, but yet we give
our fears power, why? For are we not taught to face our fears & destroy
them so we can gain mastery over them, & so they have no power over us,
so why do we let words affect us so, for it is the same principle as our fear,
as w/ our power words they should be held dear to us & mastered so when
used there power vibrates the universe even if it is spoken in a whisper, or
w/ out voice for those that have truly mastered there art.
So I ask you to think about what you allow yourself to have power over
you, is the things that should have power over you or is the words of a
common mindless person who is just waiting to see your reaction, & maybe
latter use it against you. It is something that we all should do from time to
time, & make sure that we don't let others have control over us unless that
it is desired by you.

Conscious Mind
Censor
Sub-conscious Mind
In the chart above is a simplified form of the common model of the human
psyche as provided by modern psychoanalysis. First we see the conscious
mind A.K.A the day time or wakening-consciousness. In the lower portion
of the chart we can see the sub-conscious mind which is also called the
unconscious. This includes everything that usually escapes our conscious
mind. Although it's constantly active, we usually only notice it when we
dream. The so-called censor is located between the two. It represents a sort
of "2way filter", on the other hand it ensures the selective perception of the
stimuli of the outside world. On the other hand, it protects the conscious
mind from uncontrolled flooding of information from the sub-conscious
mind which includes repression & complexes. The censor is assigned a vital
function, namely the mantinance of what we generally call " spiritual
health".
Addmitedly the censor has a considerable disadvantage as well namely the it
's extremely conservative. Only reluctantly does it allow the conscious mind
to make direct contact w/ the sub-conscious mind thereby escaping it's
control. You could compare it to a slightly distrustful "palace guard" a
loyal, brave servant ti his master, but sometimes too worried about his own
safety to allow & admit new situations w/out careful examination.
Actually one of the most important "tricks" in magick is temporarily
turning off the censor in order to tap directly to the source of power, ( the

Imagination Will
Trance
Magic
Unfortunately what's often miss understood here is the fact that such
recipes are not effective "automatically" by themselves. This is a mistake
that many people make especially beginners continue to make again &
again. They constantly search for the " real, true, 100% effective ritual " or
the ultimate magical formula.
Even today there are more than enough quakes around who'd be eager to
hold out a hand & sell you a recipe w/out explaining the conditions
nesciesary to make it work. Not that all such recipes are completely useless.
But if we're not able to understand the basic formulas of magic first, before
we use them, then there not worth the paper that they're written on. And
even if they do work sometimes, it can be easily seen that " will;
imagination; & gnosis/trance " played an important role as well.
However, once you're familiar w/ basic law & formulas of magic you can
create your own "recipes" on the basis of these, in the same way that every
magician basically writes his/hers own personal grimoire or " book of
magick "
A large part of your work hear will deal w/ doing just this. But as w/ any
other discipline, the basic need to be mastered first, otherwise "1+1" will
never be learned! These basics are the "mathematical" structural formulas
that you'll continually confront in various versions.

M= W + I + G = M
M= magical act

As we first enter this way of life we are filled w/ questions, emotions , and
feelings of being out of place, & confusion, & nothing else seems to have a
place! you start to begin to see the world for what it is & you feel that your
are all lone, you start seeking direction & you find it but then that goes
away & you start feeling the same way again, & keeps going on until one
day you find the path that's for you then the real test & trials come. These
are what makes us or breaks us, for were tested were we are the must
valnarable & were it'll cause the must damage to us, this happens to break
us down so we can get rid of those burdens that holds us back & keeps us
from growing it also helps us to open up our subconscious mind &
weakens the conscious mind which has to happen in order for us to truly
perform magick, because the conscious mind try's to block the
subconscious thinking that it's protecting us from harm. that's why one
needs to master self first before he/she can start to master his/her art. that's
why we are put through such a in a way brutal roller coaster, slowly
destroying are old ways of persceveing things, & getting rid of false illusions
set by our conscious mind. this is where must people as i was told "sink or
swim" sink because they can't handle what's before them & they crumble if
there lucky, so truly ask your self is this what i want, is this truly for me,
because if you chose to continue & it really isn't for you then you put your
life at stake, because that's the must likely out come. so chose wisely
because there no turning back once you commit to your path. you must
learn to embrace those test & trials for in the end it's what truly makes you.
MAY YOU ALLWAYS BE BLESSED FROM THIS DAY FORTH &

Magical Oaths
Similar to the magical name, the magical oath also represents an obligation
that the magician enters into for various reasons. In the sense A:.A:. wrote;
" Word should express will " hence the Mystic Name of the Probationer is
the expression of his highest will.
There are of course, few Probationers who understand themselves
sufficiently to be able to formulate their will to themselves, & therefor at
the end of their probation they chose a new name.
It is convienent therefor for the student to express his will by taking magical
oaths. Since such an oath is unrevocable it should be well considered, & it
is better not to take any oath permanently; because w/ increase of
understanding may come a perception of the incompatibility of lesser oaths
w/ the greater.
This indeed is most certain to occur, & it must be remembered that the
whole essence of the will is it's one-pointedness, a dilemaof this sort is the
worst in which the Magus can find himself.
Another great point in consideration of magical vows is to keep them in
their proper place. They must be taken for a clearly defined purpose, a
clearly understood purpose, & they must never be aloud to go beyond it!
There is no power which can be prized into the service of the magical will,
it is only the temptation to value that power for itself which offends. One
does not say " cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? " unless repeated
pruning's have convinced the gardener that the growth must always be a
rank one. " If thou hand offend thee, cut it off " is the scream of a
weakling. If one killed a dog the first time it misbehaved itself, not many
would pass the stage of puppy hood.
The best vow & the most universal application is the vow of Holly
Obiediance: for not only does it lead to perfect freedom, but is a training in
that Surrender (*1) which is the last task.
The Arcana A Study in Magic
It has thus great value, that it never gets rusty. If the Supierure to whom the
vow is taken knows his business, he/she will quickly detect which things are
really displeasing to his/her pupil & familerise him/her w/them.
Disobedience to the Superior is a constant between those two wills in the
inferior.The will expressed in his vow, which is the will linked to his highest
will by the fact that he has taken it in order to develop that highest will,
contends w/ the temporary will, which is based only on temporary
considerations.
The teacher should then seek gently & firmly to key up the pupil. little by
little until obedience follows command w/out reference to what that
command may be. As Loyola wrote " perinde eir cadaver" it is always
something to pluck up the weeds, but the flower itself will grow naturally
w/great freedom. But it, is not only necessary to purify the temple itself &
concentrate it, invocations must be made.Hence it is necessary to be
constantly doing things of a positive, not merely of a negative nature to
affirm that will.
Renunciation & sacrifice are necessary, but thy are comparatively easy.
There are a hundred ways of missing & only one way of hitting. To avoid
eating beef is easy, but to eat nothing but pork is very difficult.
Master Thereon himself, the greatest preacher of all free magical will places
such a high value on obiedeince. In these modern times marked by
democratic & even anti-authoritian ideas, it's a perty touchy subject. It can
not be denied that Crowley as a person wasn't exactly the best example for
the exemplary embodiment of the principles of command & obiedeince.
(*1) To surrender all, one must give up not only the bad , but also the
good; not only weakness but strength. How can the Mystic surrender all,
while still clinging to ones virtues?
ascetic & self chastising ideas of Christianity misunderstood that even today
modern magic still lifts its ugly Gorgorts head,
For the magician who works independently & self sufficiently, the
obedience that's meant here refers to the obiedeince of one's own oath. To
prevent a rosebush from rotting, drying up, & dieing off it has to be
intentionally trimmed from time to time. Although it may hurt, it will
prevent worse from happing.
When you take a magical oath & this is something that you most ceartinly
should do at least a few times in your magical career- keep in mind that
although your binding your self in a sense, on the other hand it will enable
you to accomplish much greater things than the mere satisfaction of your
temporary state of comfort.
A magician must build all that he has into his pyramid: & if that pyramid is
to touch the stars, how broad must be the base ? There is no knowledge or
power that is useless to the magician. One might almost say there is no
scarp of material in the whole universe w/ which he/she can dispense.
His/her ultimate enemy is the great magician, the magician who created the
whole illusion of the universe; & meet him in battle,so that nothing is left
either of him or of yourself, you must be exactly equal to him.
At the same time let the magician never forget that every brick must tend to
the summit of the pyramid: the sides most be perfectly smooth,; there must
be no false summits, even in the lowest layers.
This is the Practical & active form of that obligation of a Master Of The
Temple in which it is said " I will interpret every phenomenon as a
particular dealing of God w/ my soul."
The statement that the Probationer can resign when he/she chose is in truth
only for those who have taken the oath superficially. A real magical oath
CAN NOT BE BROKEN; you think it can but it can not. This is the real
advantage of a magical oath.
However far you go around, you arrive at the end just the same, all you
have done by attempting to break your oath is to involve yourself in the

Magical Exercises
Practice the kabbalistc cross 3 times a day for a week. Preferably you should
do this right when you get up in the morning or right after taking a bath or
shower while your body is still wet. During the exercise make sure your
focus
focus is directed towards a light source, this will help you feel the light
energy
stronger & absorb it easier. However you don’t need to actually concentrate
on the light. While practicing , pay attention to how your body feels. The
Kabbalistic cross can be repeated as often as you want, whenever needed. It
Can also be used to store energy when your feeling week, nervous, afraid &
is
an exceptional effective form of magical protection.
After practicing exercise 1 for one week start practicing the LBR. Optimally
you should do this twice a day. Of course you should make sure that you’re
not disturbed while practicing. Keep practicing exercise 1 3x a day on a
daily basis
counting the times you perform the LBR as well. The LBR can also be
repeated as
often as you like, whenever needed. Its very effective form of magical
protection. The LBR will probably accompany you throughout your entire
life as a magician, & as a
minimum you should do exercise 2 on a daily basis during your entire time
of your training.
The Arcana A Study in Magic
This exercise is practiced along with the LBR during the first month of
practice
you should perform the entire exercise at least twice a week. On each of the
other 5 days you can do one of the five steps of this exercise ( letters A; B;
C; D; E;)
individually without out putting more emphasis on a certain one. During
the second
month, it is enough to just do the entire exercise at least twice per week.
After the 3rd
month just do the exercise whenever ( & as often ) as you feel necessary. If
you notice
that your magical perception is improving from this exercise & that will
most likely be
the case, try intensifying things awhile by extending the length & duration
of the exercise. Don’t stop performing this exercise until you’re completely
satisfied with your
magical perception. But even then we recommend you repeat it once every
quarter year,
so that you don’t get rusty.
A) After performing & vibrating the Kabbalistic cross for the second time
following the LBR keep your eyes closed , stretch out your arms & walk
around the circle trying to feel it. Try not to visualize or imagine the circle
in anyway when doing so This wont be necessary at all, even if you don’t
have much success at 1st usually you’ll sense the subtle energies as a soft
tingling feeling or a feeling of warmth or cold, maybe even you’ll feel a
slight electric shock. Carefully note all your perceptions in your magical
diary.

B) Practice as in step A) except that you will be working with the sense of
hearing this time. While walking the circle 1st try hearing each of the god
names that you vibrated in each corresponding direction. ( Keep silent
while doing this, don’t try to help your perception by vibrating the names
again ). Then stand in the middle of the circle & try hearing all of the god
names at the same time each one echoing from it’s corresponding direction.
C) Practice as in step A) except that you will be working with the sense of
smell this
time. While walking the circle 1st try to sense the general smell of the room
before & after. Try to determine if the Ritual has made a difference in the
smell. Next time you can time you can carefully compass the smell of the
room before & after the LBR.
D) Practice as in step A) except that you will be working with the sense of
taste this
time. While walking the circle 1st try to sense the general taste of the room
your
in. Pay attention to your sense of taste before & after the LBR.
E) Practice as in step A) except that you will be working with the sense of
sight
While walking around the circle , open your eyes wide & try to see it
without
purposely focusing your eyes. At 1st you’ll probably only see vague
shimmers
, like a fog or mist in the air, as though it were subject to a high degree of
heat
This is a good sign. After awhile the contours of the circle will become
more distinct. Do the same with the symbols & finally the images of the
The Arcana A Study in Magic
archangels
As well.
Note: Don’t be discouraged if you can only record minimal success or not
at all in your magical diary at 1st. After all this exercise is meant to
thourghly train your magical perception.
more stubborn- just let them pass w/out taking notice of them. After awhile
let yourself & your body expand mentally w/ each breath. Do this little by
little at first maybe just 2or3inchs & increase the distance each day you
practice until you finally fill the entire room that you are meditating in.
After about (4 wk's) finish your meditation by making your self get smaller,
again each time inhale. You can combine this exercise w/ first working w/
mantras until you reach a sufficient state of gnosis before beginning w/ the
actual meditation. After about 4 wk's of working w/ this then move on to
the 2nd part of this exercise w/ one difference that you should concentrate
on getting smaller each time you exhale. Start of slowly, step by step &
increase this exercise daily until after 4wks when the exercise is over you've
reached the size of an atom. After each exercise imagine yourself getting
bigger w/ each inhaled breath.
Listen or feel your heart beat & picture your aura from the heart wave (
ripple like a pebble thrown into a lake ) Keep it close to your body at first.
Feel it & see it pulse w/ each heart beat, do this for 5to10min before you go
to bed & when you 1st get wake up. This will help strengthen your aura &
it will also allow you to retract & extend your aura at will & eventually it
will become a natural function.
This meditation will help you replenish your energies, refresh your aura,
heal you, & it will relax you & help you to focus. It can be done anywhere
& at anytime. Breath in deeply & hold for a count of 4 & exhale for a
count of 4, keep repeating this till you feel relaxed & focused, & just let all
thoughts pass. It is best starting of to do it right before & after getting up
The Arcana A Study in Magic
from bed, than after you find it easy to do from there do it while your
walking or standing out side, eventually it will happen on its own w/out
you realiseing it for it as become automatic, but still from time to time after
this practice that way it is always fresh. You incorporate thoughts into it as
well at this point, for healing, calming ones emotions, & whatever else you
may think to add.
