Working with the monkey mind
One the issues that comes up in mediation is what Buddhists call Monkey Mind. It’s that troublesome voice that starts saying random messages to you and distracts you from meditating. For people who are trying to achieve a state of no mind, the monkey mind is particularly troublesome because its a reminder that your mind [...]
Cell communication
In developing a system of magic that is focused specifically on the body, one of the challenges has always been how do you actually communicate with the medium you are working with. Since the human body is the medium, it’s not enough to recognize you have a body, which anyone can do. To work with [...]
cell magic update
I’ve been teaching my student about working with the cells of the body and also with the organs of the body. And as the teacher teaches, so too should s/he be learning and revising what s/he is doing. Because I’m working with her, it’s allowing me to revisit these techniques in more depth. It also [...]
Meditation and the relationship to the body
I’ve been doing a lot of research and practical applications of meditation from various spiritual systems, and the one thing I find consistent is that for meditation to really work, there must be some interaction with the body.

We discussed, among other things, a tendency for many sex magic workers to not use proper grounding or shielding because they wanted to let all the sensations in. We noted, in [...]
Update on Laban and Space/Time Cellular work
I’ve been continuing to integrate Laban into my morning meditation/workout. I’ve mastered all the basic stretches and I’m now incorporating the dimensional movements into what I’m doing. I’m noticing subtle differences in my awareness of my body and how I move. My core is getting strengthened and my sense of balance is improving as a [...]
Update on Laban work
I’ve been doing the first set of dance stretches in the Laban book for a little while now and discovered in the process an awareness of my body and its muscles I previously lacked. It’s quite an intriguing feeling and it’s translated out into the dance floor in terms of some moves I’ve been doing [...]
Body consciousness experiment
Today I decided to start working with the consciousness of my body and its perception of time. My first step was to do a meditation where I got in touch with the consciousness of my body as an overarching consciousness. In other words, instead of trying to connect with just a cell, I would try [...]
