Temple of Zeus — The Assembly of the Gods

Test/WIP Animated Meditation gifs

Hello everyone, I've started to work on a little something to help out new people with visualization, and I'd like opinions. To make a quick test I animated the first step of the RAUM meditation, and I'd like you to have a look and tell me what you think.

Please note was made sort of in a rush (you might notice words jump out of position a bit) and probably other details could be wrong. This is not representative of a "final product". But I'd like to know what you guys think, is this helpful?

I can get several of these done if people find them useful.

looks nice. good job.
this would be very helpful for the merkaba meditation and also the yoga meditations.
this could even be posted on the ToZ webpage.

Perfect! :D These will be a huge help to the new members! For a lot of people, reading a description doesn't help as much as seeing it does. Now maybe we won't need to have so many posts made asking simple questions they would have answered by reading the website.

It looks amazing!

I can already see some people putting your gifs in their signature.

This'll be very helpful, it's easy for me to forget that the solar plexus chakra is pointed downward due to it being below the heart chakra. Excellent work.

Apparently someone really wanted me to get these done since for the first time in my life the alarm did not go off and I ended up with the rest of the morning to work on this.

Which of you has been struggling with RAUM meditation?

So here are the finished gifs (one for each step of the RAUM meditation):

I tend to overlook things so please feel free to post corrections or suggestions. Anyone is free to use these for any Satanic projects or websites. I have not yet decided what to do next, but I'll likely follow up with some of the simpler meditations for newbies (as they need this kind of stuff more than experienced Zevists). Suggestions are welcome.

The way you did it is totally correct, but for step 2 it could be easier if it was a view of the back of the body. That way the right is on the right and the left is on the left. The way it is now someone could mix it up, since right looks like left and left looks like right. They have to see that it's a view of the front and mentally turn it around to match themself, a view from the back is already aligned to the viewer's body. Great job! I'm very excited for this project! :D

If you can do one for empowering/ breathing energy into the clairaudience points and clairvoyance points it would be wonderful. I remember when I first started out it was difficult to tell where each point was exactly especially for the clairaudience points. Same with the pineal gland.

This is awesome! However, for step 3, it's the front pillar of the soul, in the front of the body, but you have the aura lighting up instead. Otherwise it's really helpful for newer people :)

For 3 step for lighting up the front body i suggest presenting the body or torso with head from side perspective and light out the front body in the same way like you did in second step clearly indicating that you need to lighting up your front side according to instructions, right now it's like you just lighting up your aura which is misleading.

You came up with very helpful and good idea, visual presentations is always more understandable than words, especially for new people or for those who have problems with English language.

Very good job indeed ;)

Simple, but good animations. And excellent idea. This is something we need, Zevists creating and putting their creations into the world. Good job, brother.

Oops! Here is a messy fix.

I'm thinking a side view of the torso may be better for this step.

Thank you for pointing it out, like I said I sometimes overlook stuff :)

Well, since a picture paints a thousand words, that can help a lot, because many people learn by seeing and doing more than being told (hearing words and reading text).

I was going to say that you might want to add numbers, to indicate each step in the animated .gif, but you did already.

Maybe you could also add a ticker to make it easier to see the beginning and end of the animated .gif, like a beginning and end slide (few frames), as well, like in a presentation. i.e. after the animated .gif has loaded and you look at it, you might not see it from the beginning/first frame.

Yeah, side view of the torso might be better for seeing it clearly, similar to step 2 for the sides. Great work on this though :)

This seems very helpful and thoughtful :)

So this helps people who are visual learners? Amazing idea!

I don't think it's needed, these aren't supposed to replace the RAUM meditation instructions, but to be used with them. After reading the instructions and then looking at the gifs, it should make sense without needing a ticker.
