Opening Astral Senses

AvatarHigh Priestess Lydia Coventina4 min to read

Tomorrow (Sunday), waxing Moon in Pisces, and it is Fall Equinox. Good day to begin a daily working for astral senses.

The trick is to work on them every single day from now until indefinitely. If you miss a day, don't worry, do it the next day, even twice the next day. The energy is still there. Just don't give it a shot for a few days or weeks and then give up. The Gods want us to have our senses open, and having increased intuition will help your entire life in every way.

First of all, the Final Ritual removes bindings and curses on us. It literally does neat things to the head, if you do it daily. We have been cursed and bound for centuries, this Final Ritual is needed to fully open your astral senses.

Next up, runes. Thaur for 6th, Dagaz for 3rd. Do however many reps you are comfortable with, move up slowly when you feel ready. The soul is not a machine, we often need to stay at the same rep count for months and then suddenly we jump forwards and need to do much more. Pay attention to how you feel.

*If you haven't noticed the updates in the meditation section, it is now YAUM for 6th chakra.

Inanna and Isis are mantras to use as well, both are the same Goddess (Astarte aka Astaroth).

Pineal gland is mandatory for astral sight and hearing, it translates messages from the Gods into words we understand. GAUM is great, lie on your back and feel the area. The middle of your head below your Crown, and slightly down, back, and to the right. The 'G' sound really stimulates the pineal gland.

It is important to work on all of your chakras daily. The bottom 3 chakras are essential to working magick, and they power up the top 3 chakras. Do not neglect any of your chakras.

As well, color. I had noticeable results using Silver and an affirmation, even without vibration (I was experimenting). For those who don't want to risk using Silver since it's similar to Grey, use Indigo. Silver is shiny, glittery, luminescent. Grey is dull. Indigo is best for when you are working on your 6th chakra specifically of course. It's always good to breathe in the color of the chakra you are working on, and do the vibration on the exhale.

Colors: https://templeofzeus.org/Color.php

So the best thing to do, is to combine vibration with color and state an affirmation at the end. Work on your chakras, inhale Silver or Indigo, do the vibration of your choice for however many reps you want, and then state something like "in positive and healthy ways for me, my astral senses are fully open, active, and developing" (this is just a basic generic affirmation, change it as you see fit).

Make sure to work on your 6th, Crown, 3rd eye, Throat (rules psychic hearing), and minor chakras in the head. Usually just light works for the minor chakras, but it had been recommended by another Zevist to vibrate Inanna and feel it in all the chakras in the head. You can break this up throughout your day, such as working on your chakras in the morning, and then vibrate Inanna's name at night, followed by using Silver or Indigo energy and the affirmation.

After you work on your astral senses, trance. Working on them should put you into a light trance, stay there and deepen it if you can, for at least a few minutes. You can state your affirmation again once or twice at the end of your trance, and state it more times throughout the day, like after yoga.

I'll use this space to make a related question, instead of creating a new topic. Anyone's answers are welcome, not just Lydia's.

I suspect that I may have a blockage on my third eye, as I have now been experiencing a sensation as if there is something heavy on my forehead. Something as heavy as a small piece of natural magnet. Yesterday (when this started), I even felt a headache along with this.

I'm still doing the opening exercise everyday (because I want to make sure I won't lose any progress before I stop doing it) and it's been effective for me so far, as I've been feeling pressure on my forehead all the time ever since I experienced what I mentioned in my first message here.

I personally do not think it would do any damage, but try adding an affirmation such as:

"In a positive and a healthy manner for me, the energy of Thurisaz is safely and fully opening my third eye without any complications whatsoever."

Good idea! I will try adding an affirmation like this. Thank you for the suggestion.

And now that you mentioned it, the pain I felt spread to the back of my head too, and to the right, which is said to be the location of the pineal gland.

I've been vibrating Thaum on my third eye at least 18 times every session, so this could also be a result from over-stimulation.

Perhaps so.

Maybe try working on your sixth chakra and then your pineal gland after working on your third eye?

Third eye is an extension of the sixth chakra, so they are connected and instead of you feeling the pain in the back of the head, your sixth chakra could be the one who is causing you pain and not the third eye itself.

You did mention pain and heaviness in the middle of your head, so perhaps it is indeed your sixth chakra and not your third eye.

Do try them out both and focus fully on feeling which is truly the cause of your painful experience.

I always use feeling, which is probably why even in my natal chart done by Lydia said that, I am very intuitive.

Always use feeling when meditating, because only with feeling can you determine your success. :)
At least I do that.

Just want to note that there are powerful meditations that don't make use of any mantra. You can of course add them either before or after but they are optional indeed. That's to avoid false beliefs that mantra is always a required practice. For example, if you have a very sore throat and your voice is lower than whisper, you can't certainly vibrate anything. However, you can clean yourself and do healing workings that are effective without vibration, not to mention asana and pranayama.

Advanced meditations that are on topic: pineal breathing meditation, third eye breathing meditation
Advanced meditations off-topic: working with elements (invoking, evoking, rotating), Magnum Opus steps, pyrokinesis, telekinesis, advanced chakra spinning
Other powerful meditations on-topic: blue light meditation, meditation from Satan, meditation on Satan
Other powerful meditations off-topic: twin serpents, single serpent, secreting ectoplasm

Anyway, I think I've said pretty much everything I wanted to say throughout my posts on this topic. I wish you all best results with opening your astral senses.

Also, I can relate to you in a sense of the similar pain.

Yeah, you'd often share with me back in 2016 how you had the ability to sense and feel energy, entities and so on, despite not being able to see them at the time. This is very good. I still have to fully develop this.

And you may be right. I thought of that being my 6th chakra too, especially when I experienced what I described in my first message.

I did vibrate Thurisaz on my third eye a few times yesterday (fewer than 27), and I'm not sure if that did anything, but today I'm no longer experiencing pain like I did.

I'm currently redoing the awakening exercises in sequence and I'd like to make sure my third eye is fully open before I move to working on my 6th chakra, but I may also start doing that right away while taking some spare time in my day to do lesser work on my third eye, as I can already feel it fairly well at this point.

Don't neglect opening your other chakras too.

Firstly open them, then work on them one at a time, while spinning others to make sure they do not close.

Sorry, I meant to say: First awaken all of them before proceeding to open your chakras fully one at a time.

Alright. I'll move on to my 6th chakra soon. This will probably help further empower my third eye itself, as its main chakra will be open too.

I've had trouble with this too and I figured the only way is to visualize the numbers while chanting. Obviously that's a problem if you are trying to open your 3rd eye to improve visualization...

Maybe with mudras the exact amount of reps is less important?

Stormbloodsaid:

Mantras and mudras are two of the eight steps of Eightfold Path. None of them is strictly necessary but the more of them you do, the faster you progress. So, let's not start urban legends about how mantras are mandatory while mudras are unnecessary, and that visualisation alone is ineffective. All are different pieces of the puzzle.

Agreed, I combine as much as possible. When I work on each chakra, I do the specific breathing for the chakra, the mudra, breathing in of the color of the chakra, and the mantra. Plus visualization but I don't mention that as it's a given with the breathing in of the color, visualizing the color going into the chakra and the chakra being strong and powerful.

@Dypet Rod- it could be a blockage or binding, or it could just be energy build-up. Try Thurisaz as you wrote and see how it goes.

The only problem that i've got with mudra is that if i do like 8 or 9 vibration while doing a mudra then it's fine but if i do more i can't remember the number...do you have any tips?

Oh btw, this came while I was doing Void Meditation: Try vibrating Mail mantra into your crown chakra, from third eye to pineal gland and finally Crown Chakra.

This reacted a lot for me, but I started to feel subtle blissful feeling in my crown chakra, but did react painfully to my pineal gland and sixth chakra.

Got it. When you vibrate "Mail", your chakras open as easily as a mail envelope.

Terrible joke, I know. Just the type I like xD But just kidding. I'm pretty sure you meant Maum.

So this would be just like the former awakening exercise for the crown chakra, which used the B-B-B-B-B-B vibration to stimulate both the third eye, the 6th chakra and the crown in just one exhale, 1/3rd of the vibration on each chakra.
I might give this one a try, too.

I used to always count reps for chakras, but this past while, I stopped. I just go with how it feels. I got this idea from the fact that when I do yoga, I never time the asanas, and often I will stay in one for what feels like 10 minutes just blissing out, and other times I hardly need to do the same one but will do another asana for longer. Same with exercise, I never count pushups or whatever, I just do what my body needs.

So I took this idea to my chakra reps and stopped counting. I do count for my morning chakra work with the Sumarian God names (Ninib -> Marduk) to make sure I start my day well-balanced, and for my nighttime chakra work using SaTaNaMa I count (7 each up, then 7 each down, then 13 into aura) so I end my day well-balanced, but for my main chakra work, I do not count.

This may not be ideal for other people, but so far it works just fine for me, and allows me to do mudras and trance better without having to count. Keep in mind, not all chakras are equally developed, so some need more reps than others, and this allows to tune into the chakra and do what it needs :)

I have a question...

When cleaning your chakras, do you clean each one from third eye, crown chakra to Base Chakra? Or from Base to Crown?

Lydiasaid:
Thundersaid:

Lydia, talking about cleaning, is it possible and effective to use Munka on a chakra to clean it from negative karmic energies?
I tried it today on my 6th, it looks like it works well. I ask to be sure that it will bring results (don't want to waste my time lol) and, would that count as a working?

I actually recently did this with Ansuz through all my chakras and had good results it felt like my chakras could be empowered more now that they are more free :) And I was considering doing it with Munka after reading a comment from Mageson about how Munka is the destroyer of karma, great minds think alike ;)

As for it counting as a working, if you mean can you do other workings without the energy being diluted, yes you should be fine. But if you mean should you do it for 40 days, yes to this as well. Even 9 or 18 days should be effective, I got this after reading what Pythia wrote about how the cleaning for the Ritual will have permanent results after 9 days.

Yeah ahah I thought the same way after reading that :P ;)
I think I will do 40 day workings though, on pairs, just to be sure. Does the moom phase matter or do I have to wait until cancer waning moon in your opinion?

@Thunder, probably any moon sign, as long as it's waning.

Thanks Lydia, it makes a lot more sense to go by feel when doing mudras with mantras. I think it will help to not have to worry about something like reps or if one is doing it right etc.

I like how you split up the chakra work too, this way everything gets attention. That's something I'd like to improve on because I usually do one big session early and a short one later.

Btw, thanks a lot for taking time from astro work to help us with some of this info.
